BlackBerry Bold
A post about Kevin Spacey showing Dave Letterman how to update Twitter from his BlackBerry is the kind of thing that should probably go on Celebrity BlackBerry Sightings, however, it is a slow day, so, enjoy the video…

We heard a rumor a week and a half ago that AT&T was going to cut the price of the BlackBerry Bold. It would appear, however, that AT&T not only cut the price of the Bold down to $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate. The price of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has also been reduced, now only $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.
This probably won’t make all those folks who bought a Curve 8900 over the passed two weeks all that happy…

If you really want to get a good deal on a BlackBerry Curve 8900, bot Amazon and Newegg are offering them for $49.99…

Just wait until Case-Mate has come up with a belt clip for the BlackBerry Bold that doubles as a rechargeable battery pack. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 Fuel effectively adds 50% to the life of your BlackBerry Bold battery life…
Extended Battery Life Features
- Talk time: up to 7 additional hours beyond standard BlackBerry Bold battery life
- Stand by time: up to 20 additional days beyond standard BlackBerry Bold battery life
Additional Features
- Power on/off button makes more efficient usage of the fuel by only engaging when you decide to
- Fully ratcheting 180-degree belt clip
- Easy slide in/out access to your BlackBerry Bold
I am not really a belt clip kind of BlackBerry user, but, if I were this might be a cool way to get more use out of your Bold while out and about.

For those of you that regularly listen to Howard Stern you may have known that he has been auditioning new phones since last Tuesday. Stern has been a loyal Palm user for years but says that he is embarrassed to hold up his phone because it is “so old school”.
In a move (that is backfiring) to potentially capture celebrity buzz around the Pre, Palm sent a Pre to Stern to test out.
They’re going to show me the Pre and then take it away. They’re trying to build excitement for this thing. If people don’t buy this I don’t see how Palm keeps going.
From the title of this post you can probably guess what Stern decided to go with. He said that the lack of Lotus Notes support on the Pre was a deal breaker. I bet that a super popular long time Palm user publicly switching over to the BlackBerry Bold and talking about how great the Bold is on one of the most popular satellite radio shows right after saying that if the Pre doesn’t sell he doesn’t see how Palm keeps going, is the type of buzz Palm was going for.

A BGR tipster sent in a screen shot of the home screen of an AT&T BlackBerry Bold running OS 4.6.0.219 and there is an icon for BlackBerry Visual Voice Mail. Now, the icon doesn’t work yet, however, we imagine that it is only a matter of time before AT&T offers a visual voicemail system on the BlackBerry Bold probably similar to what Verizon offers on the BlackBerry Storm.
My guess is that when BlackBerry Visual Voice Mail comes out for the Bold there will be a charge for it just like their is on the Storm. If you want to try out a free visual voicemail client for the BlackBerry you should check out VyMail.
