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

January 24, 2011 by Robb Dunewood 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.

BlackBerry Monaco a.k.a. BlackBerry Storm3 Headed Into Production

January 14, 2011 by Robb Dunewood 8 Comments

Word on the street is that a new BlackBerry Storm like device code named BlackBerry Monaco is headed in to production and could very well be the BlackBerry Storm3.  The BlackBerry Manaco will sport a 1Ghz processor, a 3.7 inch touchscreen (no surepress), 512 Mb of ram, and run BlackBerry 6.  The rumor also says that the BlackBerry Manaco could hit CDMA networks (namely Verizon) sooner rather than later.

Seeing how we have been hearing rumors of BlackBerry Storm3 for some time, there could be a lot of truth behind this one.  Let’s hope…

The Monaco is supposed to sport a 3.7-in touchscreen

, trackpad, 512MB RAM, OS 6, and possibly a 1GHz processor.

Will Research In Motion Make Any Significant Announcements At CES?

January 4, 2011 by Robb Dunewood 13 Comments

For those of you not aware, CES, the biggest consumer electronics show of the year, starts Thursday with a bunch of announcements likely coming tomorrow, and, the big question for me is ” What will Research in Motion have to say?”  We know that the BlackBerry PlayBook is coming and that QNX will eventually power a BlackBerry device, however, I’d like to know what else Research in Motion has coming down the pipe, namely in the way of BlackBerry devices.

It’s been 6 months since RIM has released a high-end CMDA BlackBerry and Verizon BlackBerry Storm and Storm2 users especially, with no BlackBerry Storm3 or other Touchscreen device in sight, have seemingly been left out in the cold.  This could be the perfect opportunity for RIM to announce a new CDMA BlackBerry with a touch screen, even if it only runs BlackBerry 6.

There are rumors that Apple may officially announce the Verizon iPhone this week,and, if there is no good news on the BlackBerry front coming out RIM, the BlackBerry platform may see many more BlackBerry users switching platforms compared to those that a going to switch regardless of what RIM has to say…

Let’s hope that RIM has good new for us this week

BlackBerry Storm3 9570 Still Found In Best Buy POS

December 7, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

The last tidbit that we heard about the BlackBerry Storm3 9570 was that it was cancelled by Research in Motion because it was just too close in in form and function to the BlackBerry Storm2 9550.  Seeing how the Storm 9570 is still found in Best Buy’s order system months later, one has to wonder if the cancellation rumor is false, or, if Best Buy is just extremely slow at cleaning up their internal systems.

Rumor: BlackBerry Storm3 Coming Late Novemeber

October 14, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 25 Comments

According to note from analysis firm Jefferies & Co., the BlackBerry Storm3, not the BlackBerry Storm2 9570 refresh that was cancelled, but the real Blackberry Storm3,  should hit a wireless carrier near you by the end of Novemeber.  The note states that the BlackBerry Storm3 will run BlackBerry 6 and will not have the “clickity click” haptic touch screen.  (It will be like the screen on the iPhone and the BlackBerry Torch)

Has Verizon Cancelled The BlackBerry Storm 3 9570?

October 1, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 26 Comments

There is an interesting report coming from Endgadget stating that the BlackBerry Storm3 9570 has been cancelled.

It could still launch somewhere, but it won’t be on Verizon, apparently — and considering that it was shaping up to be an ever-so-slightly-retuned Storm2, we can’t say we blame them.

There has been a lot of speculation that the BlackBerry Storm 9570 wasn’t going to be called the Storm3, but, be a refreshed version of the BlackBerry Storm2. Whatever the name, it looks like the device has been cancelled…

This will be an issue for more Verizon BlackBerry users than you think…

Screen Shot of BlackBerry 9570 (BlackBerry Storm2 Refresh?) Leaked

September 22, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

BBLeaks just leaked a screenshot of the BlackBerry 9570, an addition to the BlackBerry Storm lineup and the device we believe to be the BlackBerry Storm2 Refresh.  This is not to be confused with the BlackBerry Storm3 which we posted a picture of the other day.

The BlackBerry Storm 9570 will be the CDMA answer for a touchscreen device with OS 6, at least till the end of 2010. The 9570 has 512mb RAM, a 5MP camera, OS 6, and most likely a 624Mhzprocessor. The 9570 will keep the current Storm2 9520/9550 form factor and continue to use the SurePress, Piezo touchscreen technology. It is also rumored to be releasing in October.

First Picture Of The BlackBerry Storm3?

September 20, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 7 Comments

Is this the first image of the BlackBerry Storm3 to hit the web?  An anonymous tipster sent this in to BerryReview.com.  I’ve got to say that I kind of like how this looks.  The Storm3 is rumored to to be WiFi hotspot capable and have 8GB of internal memory as well as a 3.7 inch screen.

Let’s hope that at least a a gigabyte or more of that internal memory can be used to run applications and that apps can be stored outside of RAM in internal memory if not on a removable media card.

Verizon BlackBerry Storm2 9550 And Curve 8530 Get End Of Life Dates

August 27, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 2 Comments

An internal document detailing upcoming end of life dates for various Verizon mobile devices has leaked its way onto the web.  Of particular interest to RIMarkable readers might be the EOL of the BlackBerry Curve 9530 on September 16th, followed by the EOL of the BlackBerry Storm2 9550 on October 10th.  This gives Verizon subscribers looking to upgrade their current BlackBerry device a good indication of when the BlackBerry Curve 9330 and the rumored BlackBerry Storm3 might become available…

Verizon Rumored To Have Stopped Testing Of BlackBerry 6 On The Storm2

July 22, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

GizmoFusion is reporting that a “reliable informant” has let them know that Verizon has stopped testing the new BlackBerry 6 operating system on the BlackBerry Storm2 9550 and probably won’t resume until either the BlackBerry Storm2 Reboot or the Storm3 have been revealed.

Let’s hope that this is more of a delay rather than an indication that the Storm2’s 256 Mb of RAM just isn’t enough to run BlackBerry 6.
