Best Buy to Get Stocked With BB Pearl Flips and the G1

geeksugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:00:14 -0700

There's not only one new handset rumored to be making its way to Best Buy on October 26, but two! The festive red BlackBerry 8200 Pearl Flip will be available to purchase on the 26, and the sold out HTC G1 will be arriving in Best Buy stores on the 26, but will make its big retail debut on November 16.

It is also rumored that you'll be able to pick up an unlocked Palm Treo Pro on October 26 as well.

If all these rumors are true, talk about a big day for Best Buy. Since Best Buy is now selling the
iPhone 3G, there really isn't a handset that would shock me if they got it in stock.

Some pictures of Vodafone's BlackBerry Storm have been released, and with the full- screen clock and the landscape mode virtual keyboard you can't help but think it's sexy. — RIMarkable
You know those crazy gadgets that you only see in cartoons like the suction cups that let you scale a wall? Well some of them have actually been brought to life by inventors. — Cracked
T-Mobile's G1 user guide is now available to download so you can learn all about the phone's features and functions. Forewarning, it's 48 painful pages long. — Gizmodo
Wanting to plan a geek-tastic getaway? Did you know that there's actually cruises specifically for geeks? I think I'll be saving up for the Carnival Video Game Cruise myself. — Trendhunter
I always get a kick out of vintage ads about technology. The pictures are always so perfect, and the text is usually downright disturbing, which you can't help but laugh at. — Unplggd

Google Rolls Out a Mobile App for the BlackBerry

I've been using Google Mobile on my BlackBerry Curve for a while now and I absolutely love it; let's just say that the built-in web browser and map on the BlackBerry is . . . ugh. Well Google is kicking it up a notch by introducing a Google Mobile App download for the BlackBerry, which offers all the same features you've grown to love with Google Mobile (like Gmail, Maps, News, and you Reader), but it also comes with a faster Google search, Google suggest, Search history and other useful goodies. To download just go to m.google.com on your BlackBerry device.

MySpace For BlackBerry Smartphones to Debut

geeksugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:02:23 -0700

Wait a minute, last time I checked it was all about Apple this week. But now after hearing that a mobile MySpace experience is launching on the BlackBerry, and finding out yesterday that TiVo is coming to the BlackBerry as well, I'm going to start calling it BlackBerry week as well! A date hasn't been set yet for the MySpace launch, but you can be notified as soon as it does by entering in your name and email addy here.

BlackBerrys to Get TiVo — Score!

This year at at CES, Slingmedia was supposed to be unveiling their software running on BlackBerry Pearls. That didn't exactly happen, and I haven't heard boo about it since, so I'm a tad skeptical if this new partnership between TiVo and RIM will come to fruition or fizzle like the rest of the "TV on BlackBerry" initiatives.

Supposedly, although details are limited, BlackBerry Smartphones will get customized TiVo services on them. This will enable cell phone users to watch their scheduled television recordings on the go. Now let's just keep our fingers crossed for this one!

Guess which world traveler needs a World Edition smartphone from BlackBerry to meet her hectic lifestyle needs? I can't imagine this celeb being a big texter, but maybe she likes the fact that this phone offers email, an organizer, web browsing, and a media player?! Best of all, it's the first CDMA smartphone from BlackBerry so she can travel the world and use her phone on GSM/GPRS networks. Any idea who it is? Scroll down to leave your answer!

The BB Curve and Pearl Get Decked Out With New Colors

geeksugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 04:01:20 -0700

I was practically speechless when I found out that Rogers (in Canada) got the BlackBerry Curve in pink before anyone else. But thankfully our time has come, and the pink Curve will be coming to the Verizon network! It is said to be going on sale this Friday, and will cost around $100 after rebate and with a two-year contract.

And not only that, but product pics of T-Mobile's freshly painted BlackBerry Pearl in tahitian green, indigo, and light blue have been leaked! I love a good color coating every now and then.

Too bad they're not bluetooth enabled! These tiny Blackberry Earrings ($19) might be a good idea for the BlackBerry lover, but you know what's not a good idea? Putting your phone up to your ear while you're wearing these!Those hook backings are going to scratch something, whether it's your tender skin behind your ear or your tender BlackBerry screen.
