RIM gets scared by oncoming 3G iPhone, potentially delays 3G BlackBerry 8900
BlackBerry…delaying the launch of their 3G 8900 handset…because of the imminent arrival of the 3G HSDPA iPhone? Sounds strange, but that’s what the ‘sources’ have told Fortune magazine.
Of course, the official reason behind the possible delay is due to ‘call quality concerns’, but it does seem fairly obvious that pushing the launch back from June to August will help RIM determine how much of a threat the 3G iPhone will be, and also avoid having the same launch date as the Apple handset. After all, no-one likes discovering at a party they’re wearing the same outfit as their worst enemy….
First photos of the BlackBerry 9000 smartphone with HSDPA and Wi-Fi debut on the internet
The news has been doing the rounds for a while, so it’s reassuring to see Engadget Mobile has secured actual photos of the new BlackBerry 9000, the first to feature HSDPA and Wi-Fi.
Seen above on the far right, its sleek lines and curves coupled with the silver edging secures the BlackBerry’s status for at least another 12 month contract length. Engadget raved about their hands-on moment…
RIM patent for vaguely different slider phone, new BlackBerries coming?
I get a bit cheesed off with the number of technology patents being filed, with seemingly small variations on a similar theme.
Take the latest from Research In Motion, makers of the BlackBerry, which details a “Hybrid Portrait-Landscape Handheld Device With Trackball Navigation and Qwerty Hideaway Keyboard”.
Yes, indeed, we’ve all seen devices with keyboards that slide out from under the phone, but apparently this one is different because it’s got a trackball on it.
Woop!

RIM BlackBerry sues Motorola over patent infringement, Motorola countersues over…patent infringement
RIM’s throwing the courtcase Motorola’s way now, after exhausting the legal battle with LG over the similarity of their model names to its own ‘BlackBerry’ branding.
But, it turns out that Motorola has turned the tables on RIM and is counter-suing them. Ouch. RIM claims Motorola is copying their…
Palm throws stones at RIM for BlackBerry outage, forgets it lives in glasshouse
Palm has displayed its sense of humour and willingness to poke fun at RIM for Monday’s BlackBerry downtime, by running full-page adverts in several national US newspapers, promising ‘no nationwide blackouts’.

Top five crap Valentine’s Day colourways/products to get your loved loathed one tomorrow
This happens but once a year, where companies feel compelled to spray-paint their products an embarrassing shade of red or pink in the hopes some daft fool will be forced to buy it at 5.42pm on the 14th of February, because Godiva and Charbonnel et Walker have run out of chocolates.
Here’s my top five pick of what not to buy someone for Valentine’s Day tomorrow. Not a single one. No-one. Just don’t do it. Get them some tins of Green Giant niblets instead.
1.) Sony VAIO CR notebook – an expensive present for your loved one, this red-painted laptop will set you back $1,000, however you can be safe in the knowledge your partner will slap you for insulting him/her with a red matching cover and heart-shaped key chain. What? You think they actually like Sony VAIOs?!….
MWC 2008: BlackBerry introduces new colours for their Pearl handset
BlackBerry wishes to remind everyone of their Pearl colourways whilst the Mobile World Congress is a-happening, because having a choice of pink, titanium, blue, sunset red, amethyst and black phones is just as important as Nokia’s N96. Maybe.
We’ve seen some of the colours before, but here’s…
