We knew that the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9700 was going to be released today, however, we didn’t know that AT&T was going to make the BlackBerry Bold 9700 available to business customers as well. The device is now available on the AT&T Premier site.
If you aren’t an AT&T business customer you only have to wait about a week as the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be generally available on AT&T November 22nd.

One of the first and most popular BlackBerry Twitter clients that seems like it has been around forever is TwitterBerry. With the release of the latest version, Orangatame Software, the company behind TwitterBerry, has changed the name of the application. Forevermore, TwitterBerry will known as OpenBeak.
Personally, I like the name TwitterBerry since it pretty much tells you exactly what the applications is and does. My guess, however, is that the name change comes because of trademarked name infringments. Research in Motion doesn’t allow any applications with the word “Berry” in their name on BlackBerry Appworld.
OpenBeak features include:
OpenBeak is a free BlackBerry application and you can pick it up OTA by pointing your devices BlackBerry browser to http://m.openbeak.com…

As many of you may already know, memory has been a point of contention for BlackBerry users for quite some time. To get straight to the point, there simply isn’t enough of it. Sure, the newest devices have 16 gig media cards and 2 gigs of internal memory, but, you really only have 256 MB of application space. Once you factor in the OS you are probably only talking about a 100 MB or so from which to install and run applications and if you don’t have a BlackBerry Storm2 or better, the problem is dramatically worse.
The big hit at the BlackBerry Developer’s Conference this week was OpenGL ES which brings 3D graphics support to BlackBerry applications. Starting with the BlackBerry Storm2 and the BlackBerry Curve 8530, developers are going to deliver applications and games that rival what you see on the the iPhone. The problem for RIM, however, is that 3D graphics take up space. They take up a lot of space and the BlackBerrys antiquated way of handling memory is going to be a huge bottleneck.
BlackBerry App World’s ability to archive rarely used applications and store them on your media card allowing you to reclaim that precious application memory is great feature, but, it gets really old really quick when you have do it with apps you use regularly simply because you are out of memory.
RIM needs to fix this…

We don’t expect that it will be too long before the Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8530 gets officially announced seeing how accessories for the device are already starting to appear in Verizon stores.

The hottest device coming out of Research in Motion right now is the BlackBerry Bold 9700. The hottest news coming out of Research in Motion is OpenGL (3D graphics) support. The BlackBerry Bold 970o, unfortunately, doesn’t support OpenGL.
The question to you is does the Bold 9700 still sound just as hot?

Adam Nash, Vice President, Search & Platform Products at LinkedIn, announced yesterday at the BlackBerry Developer’s Conference that LinkedIn for BlackBerry is coming soon.
Why it has taken the popular business social media and networking site so long to come out with a LinkedIn for BlackBerry mobile app is beyond me, however, better late than never definitely applies to what I think is going to a hugely popular BlackBerry application.
We’ve worked hard to develop an application that takes advantage of the unique capabilities of the BlackBerry platform. LinkedIn for BlackBerry will also include deep integration with the native Messages, Contacts & Calendar applications on the BlackBerry platform.
An exact release date for LinkedIn for BlackBerry is still not clear but it is expected that it will be released before the end of the year. I personally can’t wait for this one.
