BlackBerry Torch 9850

OS 7.1 for the Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9930 and Torch 9850 starts rolling out Jan. 10th

January 9, 2012 by Robb Dunewood 2 Comments

Word on the street is that BlackBerry OS 7.1 for the Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 will start rolling out tomorrow, Jan. 10th.

The big to do in the RIM’s latest version of the BlackBerry 7 operating system is Mobile HotSpot which will allow up to 5 devices to share your device’s mobile broadband connection to gain internet access.

Guest Post: Finally, Real Upgrades to the BlackBerry

September 19, 2011 by Robb Dunewood 4 Comments

A year ago it wasn’t easy to remain optimistic about RIM. You know this if you were reading RIMarkable and BBGeeks at the time. As both Robb and I lamented, the 2010 line of BlackBerry devices offered little to no tangible upgrade over the 2008 and 2009 models, which in themselves were behind their times. It left in the air RIM’s future as a smartphone competitor. We heard plenty about the QNX operating system and how it would change everything, but that was still a ways off. RIM needed something inspiring to bridge the gap.

Earlier in the year we caught wind of RIM’s plans for 2011. From a physical standpoint it looked like more of the same. The new line would include an updated flagship device, a full touchscreen device, a new Curve, and an update to the Torch. Nothing new, nothing revolutionary. Yet RIM made a few subtle changes to each model. The full touchscreen device ditched SurePress, which doomed the Storm from the start. The flagship device got a small touchscreen in addition to the full QWERTY keyboard. The Curve got a graphics update. But, most importantly, they all got faster processors: 1.2 GHz to be exact, which are among the fastest on the market.

While the software didn’t figure to change much — they called it BlackBerry 7, but it was really more like 6.1 or 6.5 — the processor might have made the difference. After all, my biggest complaints about the OS 6 models centered on lag. Everything just ran slow, as though the processor just wasn’t powerful enough to handle the tasks assigned to it. As it turns out, that is exactly the case. The result is a line of BlackBerry models that should make RIM proud. They’ve delivered practical, usable devices that, as has been their calling card for more than a decade, help users get organized and stay in touch.

It looks like the Sprint BlackBerry Torch 9850, which, for a brief time was available for pre-order at Walmart for $99.99 on a new two year service plan ($141.99 on a 2-year extension), is quite popular.  The full touch screen BlackBerry 7 device is backordered after just one day.

August 11, 2011 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

When Sprint officially announced that they would be carry both the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and the BlackBerry Torch 9850 starting this fall we thought they actually meant they would launch in the fall.  It looks like they meant “like in a couple of weeks”.

Where is the BlackBerry 7 smartphone marketing campaign?

August 10, 2011 by Robb Dunewood 8 Comments

Do you remember the massive amount of marketing that Verizon did with it’s Droid Does campaign and the original Motorola Droid?  It’s been almost two years, but, I remember that Stealth Droid commercial like it was yesterday.  That campaign pretty much marked the start of Android’s full frontal assault on the smartphone industry.

I believe that Research in Motion needs to launch that type of campaign for BlackBerry 7 and the new BlackBerry 7 smartphones for these devices to have any appeal to consumers that don’t already want a new BlackBerry, but, I haven’t seen a single television spot from RIM in recent memory that wasn’t about the BlackBerry PlayBook.
