Rogers officially informed that the new flip phone from BlackBerry - the Pearl 8220 - will be available for purchase on November 4th.

AT&T BlackBerry Bold In the not too distance future

The Bold’s out in pretty much every country recognized by the United Nations at this point, but to attention-starved Americans, we can only say this: it’s new to you.

Just because you want the hottest new BlackBerry on the block doesn’t mean that you need to break the bank. It turns out that the BlackBerry KickStart smartphone is only going to cost $49.99 when it launches later this year.
Naturally, we’ll have to chalk this one up in the rumor column for now, but the [...]


BlackBerry KickStart Sized Next to Bold

With the notable exception of the Pearl line, the vast majority of BlackBerry devices are a fair bit bigger than regular cell phones. When we first caught wind that Research in Motion would be making its first flip phone, we had our reservations. Was it going to be a giant monstrosity or a beauty of [...]

Many Canadians may be marking July 11th on their calendars for the upcoming arrival of the Apple iPhone 3G, but the more business-minded among the crowd may be more interested in the latest offering from Research in Motion.
