AT&T Tweets BlackBerry Bold 9900 coming soon!

AT&T tweeted earlier today that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is coming soon.  AT&T hasn’t stated why it has taken so long for the nation’s largest GSM network to get the Bold 9900, however, we believe AT&T held back the 9900 in an effort to sell as many BlackBerry Torch 9810 devices, which are exclusive to AT&T, as possible.

HTML 5 Twitter page

It looks like Twitter has recently updated their HTML 5 website so that it will work on the BlackBerry PlayBook, and, I have got to admit that it looks and functions pretty well.  I would still like to see a dedicated Twitter App (read TweetDeck for BlackBerry PlayBook) with multiple account support, but, the HTML 5 Twitter page gets the job done if you are just looking to view your stream and post quick Tweets…

No New BlackBerry 7 Announcements

RIM put out a Tweet the other day that insinuated that the new BlackBerry 7 devices were going to be announced yesterday, July 26th.    The exact verbage…

You got it! New #BlackBerry devices are coming w/ our new OS, BlackBerry 7! Check back tmrw 4 deets on #BB7FanNight. ^CH

Most people, myself included, took this to mean that RIM was going to release details on new BlackBerry 7 devices that are coming.  What RIM actually meant was that they were releasing details on #BB7FanNight…  That is a load of BS and RIM knows it…

@BlackBerry replies to @BGR via Twitter

BGR was the first big time blog to post on RBC Capital Markets Managing Director Mike Abramsky’s reiteration of an an OTR Global report stating that Research in Motion may be planning to discontinue the Wi-Fi only version of the BlackBerry PlayBook.  From the official @BlackBerry Twitter account, RIM replied to BGR’s Tweet announcing said post.

@BlackBerry -> @BGR Pure fiction. No plan to discontinue. In fact, WiFi PlayBook is launching in new countries practically every week.

I wonder what RIM tweet to the analysts?
