The Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog
I played a bit of an April Fools Day prank on RIMarkable readers yesterday that I hope no one took offense to. I kind of leaked a fake story about how Verizon was releasing 3 new BlackBerry devices but I left plenty of clues that with in the story that it was a gag.
Although it became clear in the comments almost immediately that this story was not true, the fact that readers wanted it to be was just as clear.

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is still providing bi-weekly status updates on its options backdating issuse that it and, what seems like, every other software company seem to have.
You can read the full press relese here, however, to make a long story short it pretty much just says, “Our books are still messed up but we are working on it. Talk to you again in two weeks.”
I take every negative thing that I have ever said about Verizon’s BlackBerry release schedule back. As a matter of fact, I feel kind of foolish for being so negative seeing how the nations second largest carrier has just announced 3 new BlackBerry devices coming out over the next few weeks.
Two of the devices, the BlackBerry Pearl, and the BlackBerry 8830e, our already out on the GSM carriers, however, Verizon will be the first carrier to offer a BlackBerry 8300 device. The 8330e will have a digital camera and GPS, however, will not have Wi-Fi. It will also be the first BlackBerry able to record video.
Thanks to RIMarkable reader Sidd Finch for leaking us this information…
Do you love your BlackBerry enough to rewrite a song about it?
