The folks over at the FCC have let some pictures and details slip about the upcoming BlackBerry 8980, a device that seems to be a successor to the Curve 8900. The phone pictured above will boast a quad-band GSM antenna, Wi-Fi b/g/n, and a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash.

And according to the user manual, it will be powered by BlackBerry OS 5. The device looks very similar to the BlackBerry 9700, which is a popular BB version, so that’s probably good news.

Otterbox Pink BlackBerry Cases

Posted in BlackBerry by Conner Flynn on September 23rd, 2010

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.

Energizer wireless inductive charger for blackberry and iphone

Posted in Chargers by Conner Flynn on September 5th, 2010

We love anything that helps us get rid of wires around here. So we are excited about Energizer’s new inductive charger that is Qi enabled. Qi is the wireless charging standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium, and should eventually make its way into more and more devices.

The charger will work with the iPhone or the Blackberry Curve 8900. The battery door for the Blackberry and the sleeve case for the iPhone 3G/3GS are both sold separately. Luckily, this device has enough room to charge three devices at the same time, which is nice.

Posted in BlackBerry by Conner Flynn on August 9th, 2010

The BlackBerry 9300 Curve 3G is finally official today. If you told T-Mobile to bring it, consider it brought. Though we still have no word on what it will cost. It’s basically an entry-level smartphone, so you can expect a reasonable price.

The 9300 Curve 3G will be able to support AT&T’s 3G bands, but there is still no word from AT&T on whether they will release the device or not. The BlackBerry 9300 Curve 3G is another BlackBerry device that runs on the recently introduced BlackBerry OS 6.0.

Posted in BlackBerry by Conner Flynn on July 25th, 2010

Good news Blackberry fans. The BlackBerry Curve 9300 arrived at the FCC last week, but now we are getting a closer look at it. You may notice that very interesting T-Mobile logo at the bottom. This will likely not support an upgrade to BlackBerry OS 6 and we still don’t know when it will arrive in the US.

Looks like T-Mobile in the US and Rogers in Canada will carry this one to start. To refresh your memory, some specs include 256MB RAM, 256MB ROM, Wi-Fi, a 624MHz processor, a 320 x 240 resolution QVGA display, 2-megapixel camera with no flash and UMA support.

Pong anti-radiation cellphone case

Posted in Mobile Accessories by Conner Flynn on February 10th, 2010

From the fine folks at Pong Research(They haven’t done much since testing Pong consoles in the late seventies apparently) come these anti-radiation cases for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and Blackberry Curve… Despite the fact that radiation from cellphones has not yet been proven to harm people.

The Pong anti-radiation cases are mostly made of silicone, with a “Pong gold PCB module” embedded in the case. Apparently the module has been proven to reduce the radiation from an iPhone into a user’s head to “a third of what it would be without the case.”

Verizon brings slotRadio+ cards to BlackBerry

Posted in BlackBerry by Conner Flynn on January 28th, 2010

This is interesting news. Verizon just announced that they will be offering slotRadio+ microSD memory cards (which already come preloaded with music) for most BlackBerrys. We’ve seen the cards before. They are not new. They were introduced by SanDisk last year and can hold 1,000 songs from various artists on the Billboard charts.

First you’ll need to download and install an application on your BlackBery that will let you connect to Verizon’s V CAST Music service, for it to work. Each of the cards will retail for $50 if you like the skip button enough to get one.
