Rumor: AT&T May Skip Past The BlackBerry Bold 9780 And Go Straight To The BlackBerry Dakota

by 4 Comments

Many AT&T BlackBerry users have been wondering what the delay on the AT&T branded version of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is seeing how the device has been available on T-Mobile since mid November of last year.  Rumor has it, however, that AT&T may skip over the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and go straight to the, yet to be officially announced, BlackBerry Dakota…

Fudzilla is reporting that its sources are stating that AT&T is move the last of it’s BlackBerry Bold 9700 inventory and that it has no intention on ordering more.

The new Bold, or Dakota if you will, is a bit closer than we were first led to believe. Apparently from the whispers we hear, AT&T could have the new member of the Bold family on the shelf for sale as soon as early or mid-spring, but significant quantity is likely not expected at the store and authorized reseller level till very early summer.

If the release scale for the BlackBerry Dakota, the first QWERTY BlackBerry with a fixed touchscreen, is accurate the rumor that AT&T may forgo the BlackBerry 9780 seems very plausible.  This seems to be the route that Verizon took with the BlackBerry Storm 9750, deciding to hold off on  the device possibly for the rumored BlackBerry Monaco.

by 5 Comments

Wow, can you believe just how much more responsive a leaked version of BlackBerry 6 running on the Bold 9700 is than BlackBerry 6 running on the BlackBerry Torch.  Someone just asked me the other day if I regret returning my BlackBerry Torch…  No, not at all…

Video: Boot Time On The BlackBerry Torch Running BB6 Is Greatly Improved

by 1 Comment

Adam over at CrackBerry.com did a comparison video of boot times between the BlackBerry Bold 9700, BlackBerry Bold 9650, and the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 running BlackBerry 6. I am not really stunned by how fast the Torch boots compared to the latest BlackBerry Bold model. It seems on par with (maybe a little slower than) the iPhone and Android devices. I am truly amazed, however, at just how long the other devices take to boot up. It’s kind of sad actually

BlackBerry Bold 9870 Running BlackBerry 6 Images

by 4 Comments

Salomondrin has posted what we believe to be the first images of the BlackBerry Bold 9870 to the web.  This Bold 9780 is almost identical to the Bold 9700 except for its darker bezel and 512 Mb or Ram compared to just 256 Mb.  It is a bit hard to make out from this picture, however, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is running BlackBerry 6.

I am definitely looking forward to a video of BlackBerry 6 running on a device that doesn’t have a touch screen.
