So when we first wrote about the Blackberry Kickstart, i admit I was sceptical of Blackberry releasing a flip phone, reasoning Blackberry should stick to what they do well, as opposed to trying to be be every kind of phone for every person.
We all know that YouTube exist for two reasons; uploading music videos online and bad-mouthing the artists who made them, and as a platform for bored teenagers to post videos about the ultra-dumb shit they do and think they’re like “hella cool”.
Blasphemy! Mr. Apple himself (the other one) has turned Judas, and it didn't even take 12 gold coins to get him to do it.
All it took as for him to get shipped one of the world's first Blackberry Bolds, here's his report:
Another day, another BlackBerry but this one is really special because it's got a really high number.
But aside from a high number, according to a leaked document, the
BlackBerry 9000 is expected to also feature (possibly) 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, BlackBerry OS 4.6, camera, and the ability to record audio. Gizmodo is also reporting the BlackBerry 9000 will be exclusive to AT&T
Certain things should just look a certain way, for instance would you really want to eat an apple shaped like a banana? That's just creepy...
Which is my problem with this upcoming BlackBerry phone, codenamed the BlackBerry KickStart, which would be both the first BlackBerry clamshell and the first BlackBerry flip phone.
The New York Times has a fascinating profile of BlackBerry maker RIM today and the inherent challenge for them to keep pace in the post-iPhone smart phone market. For instance, while BlackBerry currently has a 40% market share to the iPhone's 17.4% share of the smart phone market; BlackBerry's focus on the business market forces them to take possible security faults far more seriously, and made them historically slower to adapt new features such as camera phone or a removable memory slot.
If you've ever thought, man I'd really like to buy a BlackBerry Pearl through AT&T, but I'm waiting for it to be offered in red and with GPS... well it looks like your moment has arrived.
AT&T is now selling the red (what the hell is a red BLACKberry) Pearl for $149.99 with contract.. The big addition from the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is the GPS. The big subtraction is no Wi-Fi.
It looks like the Material Girl no longer thinks that diamonds are a girl's best friend. According to a new interview with Elle Magazine, Maddona reveals that the item that she's touching like it's for the very first time before she goes to sleep is her BlackBerry:
"We lie right next to each other with our BlackBerrys under our pillows. It's not unromantic. It's practical. I'm sure loads of couples have their BlackBerrys in bed with them.
It looks like T-Mobile is finally getting AT&T's sloppy seconds.
A few months after The BlackBerry 8820 first debut on AT&T, the model is making it's way to the T-Mobile network. Among the BlackBerry 8820's offerings is WiFi, TeleNav GPS, Bluetooth, trackball, QWERTY keyboard, mini USB port, a microSD expansion slot for up to 4GB of extra storage, and BlackBerry Maps.
It will also be compatable with T-Mobile's new HotSpot@Home service... likely the reason WiFi was included in the handset.
