It took a while, but finally T-Mobile has rolled out the BlackBerry OS 6 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone, although this news doesn’t come from T-Mobile officially. The update has not yet gone live on their website, but Bold 9700 owners who connect to BlackBerry Desktop on their PCs should be able to install it without a problem.

This release build is version 6.0.0.448, and is the first version of OS 6 made available to Bold 9700 users via T-Mobile. So the wait is over.

The BlackBerry Bold Touch Dakota/Montana has been sighted and it looks like it is wrapped in a carbon fiber weave. The touchscreen experience is said to be far better than the Torch. To refresh your memory, here are some specs: It runs on OS 6.1, sports a 2.8-inch VGA 640×480 capacitive screen, Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Proximity sensor, NFC, and a 5MP camera.

This model has only 6.5GB of built in storage, and 512MB of RAM. If you are a RIM fan, you need to seriously check this one out. It looks like RIM is stepping up their game. The compass is being shown off in the image above.

The BlackBerry Dakota which we first heard about in July, is pictured here in a photo from BGR. It features a 2.8-inch (VGA resolution) capacitive touchscreen with the BlackBerry Bold-style keyboard. It looks pretty handsome.

Other features include the fact that it’s a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE device with tri-band UMTS, there’s a 5 megapixel cam with HD video recording, 4GB of storage, and 768MB of RAM. The phone will also have WiFi and be 3G hotspot-enabled, and will run BlackBerry OS 6.1. No word on pricing or availability yet.

We assume that you have been saving up your dough, so now you can get ready to spend it since the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 and BlackBerry Curve 9300 are now available.

Both devices are available for purchase directly from the AT&T store. The Pearl 9100 will cost you $149 on a two-year contract while the Curve 9300 will only cost you $99 on a two-year contract.

You can walk against cancer, run against cancer, crawl against cancer, or buy some pink gadgets. Personally, I can’t see that ever beating cancer, though it does put your money in some deep pockets to be mis-managed and pillaged. But if you are not as jaded as I, you might want to join the good fight and get yourself these pink OtterBox cases.

They support the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade and the 2010 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer by offering a limited edition, pink and white Commuter Series for the BlackBerry called “Strength” cases. The following BlackBerry’s will be supported: BlackBerry Curve 8500/9300 series, Pearl 3G and Bold 9700 series.

Good news for those of you who own either the BlackBerry Pearl 3G or Bold 9000. Both devices have had their OS update leaked. It isn’t official, so do it at your own risk. But it’s nice to know things are moving forward.

Looks like U.S. Cellular will begin offering the BlackBerry Bold 9650 tomorrow. This CDMA/GSM 9650 handset is similar to the ones already available on Sprint and Verizon Wireless, but it runs on EV-DO Rev. A, UMTS/HSPA 2100 MHz, quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM.

Other average specs to go with average looks include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 512 MB of RAM, a 3.2-megapixel camera and it is BlackBerry OS 6 ready. It will cost you $230 with a 2-year contract and a $70 mail-in rebate. So if you have been waiting for this one, tomorrow is your lucky day.

If you have been losing sleep wondering whether the BlackBerry OS 6 will arrive on your Bold 9650, this should ease your worries. Verizon hasn’t officially confirmed it yet, but pictures of BlackBerry OS 6.0.0.80 running on the Verizon Bold 9650 have surfaced.

However, this leak also indicates that it’s running sluggishly, so hopefully the performance issue will be sorted out. Otherwise, what’s the point?

It’s been teased since way back in April, but RIM has finally unveiled all the details on its BlackBerry 6 operating system. The software features a whole mess of updates, most notably new universal search functionality, social network aggregation, WiFi-powered media sync with your desktop music collection, and an all-new WebKit-based browser with support for HTML5.

RIM has also committed to bringing BlackBerry 6 as an upgrade to some of their recent models like the Bold 9700, Bold 9650, and Pearl 3G “subject to carrier certifications in the months ahead.”

BlackBerry’s OS 6 hasn’t launched officially, but here’s another phone from the line. This one is the 9780 and features 512 MB of memory with looks similar to the Bold 9700. It is able to run on OS 6.

Aside from that detail we can likely expect a 5-megapixel camera included with the device, which seems to be the new standard for BlackBerrys these days. The BlackBerry Atlas will likely be the 9780′s CDMA counterpart, and has a similar stat line.

You don’t want your new BlackBerry Bold 9650 to look like everyone else’s, so why not spice things up? As usual, the folks over at ColorWare are more than happy to help.

You can colorize the inner back, outer back, top, bottom, frame, and sides. For once, ColorWare won’t be selling these directly. So you will have to send it in if you want to get your fancy colors. It will cost you $150 bucks.

If you’ve been waiting for this one to hit Verizon, it looks like it’s official. The BlackBerry Bold 9650 will be available for your online ordering pleasure from Verizon beginning June 3rd and in Verizon stores on June 10th. This is the Verizon’s first global handset with GlobalAccess Connect tethering.

And keeping with that “global” theme users can look forward to worldwide VZ Navigator (This includes Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden). You can expect to pay $150 after a $100 rebate and a two-year contract.

We all want to stand out in some way. And now T-Mobile can help as they have just officially announced that there will be some new color options for its BlackBerry devices this summer. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is now available in T-Mobile retail stores and online in Fuchsia Red for $49.99 with a two-year contract.

While the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be available in white starting May 26th, priced the same as the current 9700, which is $129.99 with a two-year contract.

Sprint was so excited about the BlackBerry Bold 9650 that it just couldn’t wait and so it went on sale online today, a week before the scheduled May 23rd launch. No word on if any stores have the device yet.

It will run you $199 on a two-year contract. It’s no EVO 4G, but if you are a devoted BB user than go ahead and order this one up. Now is the time.

If you, like many of us, suspected that both Sprint and Verizon Wireless would pick up RIM’s BlackBerry Bold 9650, well, the former has already released a press release stating the fact. Starting on May 23rd, Sprint fans can pick up this smartphone for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and 2-year contract.

Apparently it will be available in “all Sprint sale channels,” with a 480 x 360 resolution display, BB OS 5, Wi-Fi module and 3.2 megapixel camera. We’re expecting Verizon’s announcement any time now.
