BlackBerry Users Get XM Radio, Excuse to Take Phones Into Bathrooms For $7.99 a Month

I used to sleep through class by tuning my cellphone's FM radio to a classical station, sitting in the back, and putting a jacket over my face, so this XM Radio on BlackBerry is pretty spectacular news. All you need is a BlackBerry 8800, 8700, Pearl or Curve and $7.99 a month. You'll get 20 "exclusive" XM channels (list after the jump), and you can download the app here or text "XM" to 47201. Time for a nap. Since this uses the phone's regular data connection, you hopefully won't be forced to wear giant ridiculous looking headphones in order to get reception. More »

WildCharge Releases iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry Pearl/8800 Wireless Charging Adapters

Wildcharge, the device that lets you wirelessly charge your RAZR, has just released new adapters for the iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry 8800 and 2nd Gen iPod Nano. It still works the same: put the adapter on the back of your phone, place your phone onto the charging pad and wait for the juice to flow. No pricing information on this quite yet, but the old RAZR chargers were $34 (or $89 for the pad and the charger together). [WildCharge]

New NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 Has 2 Processors, 1GB Memory, Eats PS3 for Breakfast

The Skinny: NVIDIA's GeForce 9800, launching in late Feb / early March, will be successor to the 8800 Ultra. With an estimated 30% performance increase over the aforementioned top end GPU, and apparent support for "Quad SLI," it is certainly no slacker. More »

BlackBerry Curve, Pearl and 8800 Get the Colorware Treatment

Colorware, the company that spruces up iPods, iMacs, iPhones, Zunes and Xbox 360s are coming back with a series of new items starting with BlackBerries on New Year's Eve. If you don't already have a BlackBerry Curve, Pearl or 8800 series, you can pick one up pre-colored directly from them. If you already do have one, you can send your current phone in for colorization. Then again, if you do have a BB, you're probably some kind of corporate "business dude" that might not want their phones accessorized in this way. You be the judge.

Nvidia to Launch GeForce 9 in February?

According to DigiTimes sources, Nvidia is planning on rolling out GeForce 9 this February. They also noted that the first chip in the family will be the 65nm D9E —complete with support for DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1. As with all rumors, this should be taken with a grain of salt, so I wouldn't put your holiday plans for the 8800GTs on the backburner just yet. [DigiTimes via RegHardware via Gearfuse]

Testing BlackBerry 8830 World Edition Abroad (Verdict: Works Flawlessly, Except for 3G)

I've been using Verizon Wireless' BlackBerry 8830 outside the US for a couple of weeks now. I got it brand new and without any previous configuration so, given the problems I have had with US phones in the Old Continent in the past, my first thought was that I wasn't even going to be able to get it into the network.

Cingular BlackBerry 8800 in Stores

If the Boy Genius is right, it looks like RIM's newly minted BlackBerry 8800 will be in Cingular stores across the country any second now. BG has a full unboxing up at his site along with a few notes on the device's performance. I gotta say, I never considered myself a BlackBerry kinda guy, buy having played with one at 3GSM I'll admit to wanting to take one home. I didn't find it to be that much of a fingerprint magnet as others have reported, but the keyboard, interface, and trackball were spot on. Any of you guys spotted one in stores yet? – Louis Ramirez More »

Please make the Nokia 8800 madness stop! This is the latest version of the Nokia 8800 shiny slider phone. This time it comes in special edition Lamborghini style. The specs for this limited edition 8800 are the same as all of the past models.
