BlackBerry PlayBook Hands-On

Thanks to the good folks over at Engadget we get a hands on look at the new BB PlayBook...and I'm a little excited now. Hopefully BB let us down with the new OS because they were working so hard on the PlayBook.

BlackBerry Style 9760

WTF is Blackberry doing? These new phones keep getting worse and worse. Form factor BB!!!! Form Factor.

Blackberry Bold slider launching in June at AT&T

Blackberry OS 6 its finally nearing but going up against the next generation iPhone in June...not a good move BB. We all love our BB's but a new OS that hasn't been tested in the form of a slider against the best selling phone in history, I guess they call this competition, ill advised or not. Hopefully the OS can hold up so I can finally put down my iPhone and go back to my true love the BB. Reports say it will be a June release so we'll see.

While June has usually been strictly roped off as “iPhone month” for AT&T, this year looks like it will be different. A couple of our RIM sources have informed us that the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider will be making its public debut in June on AT&T. Those dates can slip a bit, but middle to end of June does seem to be what we are hearing. Also, we have confirmed that AT&T has placed an incredibly big order of the new handset, easily exceeding 1,000,000 units. AT&T will have an exclusive on the device (we have not confirmed the length — 3 months, 6 months, etc.) and it will obviously launch with the BlackBerry 6 operating system. If you are a CDMA lover, look for Sprint to get the device in Q4 of this year.
