One of the big BlackBerry rumors floating around the web over this passed weekend was that Sprint may be launching a CDMA BlackBerry Bold in Q1. Although this may be big news for Sprint, I cannot remember a time when Sprint came out with a new BlackBerry before Verizon.
That being said, I wonder how long it will be before Verizon comes out with their branded CDMA BlackBerry Bold.

So, I’ve been running with my BlackBerry Storm for 6 weeks are so. I’ve installed the latest leaked BB OS and, For me, the Storm is performing pretty good. The problem that I am running into is that a lot of the really cool BlackBerry applications that I used to run on my BlackBerry Pearl don’t run on the BlackBerry Storm.

Verizon Wireless has a heck of a deal on the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 going right now. You can get your hands on on for $19.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.
You have to, of-course, sign up to a 2-year service plan and it will probably take a month or so for you to get your rebate back, however, if you were in the market for a new BlackBerry and Verizon is your carrier of choice, this is a pretty good deal.
Check out the Verizon Wireless website for more information…

In a CNet interview, RIM founder and co-CEO, Mike Lazaridus, says, when asked if he considers netbooks competitors to the BlackBerry,
“No, I think I can put Netbooks in here [referring to the BlackBerry Storm]. These are netbooks. They are just smaller.“
Big Mike is not generally known for making just plain crazy and ludicrous assertions so we had to head over to Wikipedia to check out the definition of netbook before we chalked this comment up to too much time spent next to the hard eggnog bowl at the RIM holiday party.
I guess that if you ignore the first sentence of that definition where it says that “A netbook is a light-weight, low-cost, energy-efficient, highly portable laptop…” , you only loosely apply the rest of the definition, and say it with an an extremely straight face to someone that has never seen a netbook or really knows all that much about current technology, you could get some to believe that the BlackBerry Storm is a netbook.

I know that an awful lot of BlackBerry users have been waiting an awfully long time for the day that they would be able to control their SlingBox from their BlackBerry devices to arrive and I am happy to report that this day is now actually here… Sort of…
The SlingPlayer Mobile Public Beta for BlackBerry is now a available for download. I say that the day many BlackBerry users is here sort of becasue it is only available to GSM BlackBerry devices at this time.
I certainly hope that SlingMedia is working on a SlingPlayer Mobile client for the BlackBerry Storm. Not doing so should simply be a crime…

Yahoo! Go, Yahoo’s mobile portal application that allows you to send email, upload photos, download maps, get stock quotes, and get breaking news, has been updated to version 3.0.47 and now has support for the BlackBerry Bold.
Yahoo! Go 3.0.47 is not compatibable with the BlackBerry Storm and I haven’t played with it since it was in beta for the BlackBerry Pearl 8130. If I remember correctly it was a little bit slow, so, I wonder how the new version will on the BlackBerry Bold that has 3G and more processing power all around.
If you are a BlackBerry Bold use and decide to give Yahoo! Go a try, let us know how it goes via the commnents.

It looks like The BlackBerry Storm isn’t the only BlackBerry that has updated operating systems popping on the net. OS 4.6.0.217 for the BlackBerry Bold has made its way online.
Like with the Storm, OS 4.6.0.217 for the Bold is not an officially released OS, however, if you want to give it a go anyway, you can download it here…

Just a little over a week after BlackBerry Storm OS 4.7.0.83 leaked, another leaked OS has made its way onto the interweb.
OS 4.7.0.85 for the BlackBerry Storm can be found online in a unofficial way, however, word on the street is that that lastest update might actually be the next official release.
I haven’t had the chance to install 4.7.0.85 as of yet, however, those that have are saying that the updated OS is much improved even over .83.
You can download BB OS 4.7.0.85 here…
