In an internal statement to employees, Orange explains its decision to temporarily suspend BlackBerry Bold sales while Research in Motion works on an industry wide fix.
Internal Orange Statement on the Bold:”Following reports of software issues with the BlackBerry Bold handset across a variety of mobile operators, Orange has decided to act in the interest of its customers by suspending shipments of the device in the UK. We are currently awaiting feed back from RIM as to when an industry wide fix for these issues will be in place, and expect this suspension to be an interim measure.We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause you.”next steps BlackBerry/RIM are doing everything they can to resolve this issue and will be completing full testing and validation to ensure future handsets do not have any quality issues. This may take a couple of weeks so it’s up to us to do what’s best for our customers.
It may not be all AT&T after all. If other carriers around the world follow suite, the Microsoft takeover that we talked about in the last post seems a lot more plausible.

It seems like at least once or twice a year, for the passed several years, we hear rumors about how Microsoft may be looking to buy Research in Motion. This year is a little different because RIM’s stock price spiraling downward.
Canacoccord Adams analyst, Peter Misek, says that he is “fairly certain that Microsoft has a standing offer to buy RIM at $50 a share”. The stock is currently at $59.03 and if it drops another 30%, which in normal times would sound like a pretty big stretch, Microsoft would have more than enough cash to attempt a takeover play.
We certainly aren’t in normal times, so, if Microsoft seriously wants to make a play for RIM, the BlackBerry may be ripe for the picking… Pun intended.

This BlackBerry Storm commercial has been floating around for a couple of days now but I figured that since I haven’t posted it yet I should go ahead and do so.
All I can say is that RIM is definitely no Apple when it comes to advertising…

Sprint has put up a notification page for the Nextel BlackBerry Curve 8350i, the first new BlackBerry to come specifically on the Nextel network in years.
There still is not official release date for the BlackBerry 8350i, however, all indications are still pointing to something coming out this fall.

So, the word on the street is the Vodafone isn’t planning to charge you anything for the BlackBerry Storm if you sign up to an 18 month contract that would run you roughly $70 per month.
This should give the iPhone, which initially costs about $200 up front and roughly $65 per month, a real run for its money.
I’d be willing to bet that the question in the minds of many of you that are reading this post is…
Will The Verizon BlackBerry Storm Be Free?
Although Vodafone holds a 45% stake in Verizon my guess is that the Verizon BlackBerry Storm will cost at least the $199 that the iPhone costs and probably a bit more.

I got a couple of emails this morning asking about when the new BlackBerry Curve would be out. I wasn’t quite sure what new Curve they were referring to until I saw this post over on BlackBerry News.
T-Mobile Germany has actually put the BlackBerry Curve 8900, a.k.a. the BlackBerry Javelin, up on their site and they are saying that it will be available in November.
