Blackberry OS 4.5 Not Officially Arriving Until September

The Blackberry Internet Services 2.5 upgrade (and subsequent downtime) is still go for a June 29 launch, but there's a catch. According to the Boy Genius Report, some of the "sexiest" 2.5 features won't be available until Blackberry OS 4.5 arrives—in September. From the looks of the BIS 2.5 presentation they got their boy-sized mitts on, at least one of those features is push AOL email and Hotmail/MSN accounts. Of course, if you have a newer Blackberry handset, or plan on buying one before September, it will come with 4.5 OS already installed. [Boy Genius Report]

RIM's BlackBerry BIS v.2.5 Due On June 28, Will Include HTML Email Support

RIM is upgrading its BlackBerry Internet Service in anticipation for the next-gen of BlackBerry devices, and chief amongst the host of upgrades is the inclusion of native HTML email support – something users have been asking for since the dawn of the crackberry age. Finally, I will be able to expect the same psuedo-inspirational, gif-laden emails my parents already forward to me from all of my BlackBerry addict friends. I'm psyched. Version 2.5 of the BIS will also include OTA upgrades, calender improvements and several other as yet unnamed features. [Boy Genius Report]

Latest by hisham: BB OS has a C=64 feel to it. Very basic, even the fonts are basic, and seems to run of a 16k rom chip. It has that eighties-cool feel to it. The case design caters to that as well, though more »

BlackBerry Bold (aka 9000) Officially Official

They said RIM's BlackBerry 9000 would be formally announced on the 12th. They said it would be called the Bold. Photos suggested that it would be the sexiest thing to come out of Canada since Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. And they wuz right. Boy Genius says it'll be available this summer on AT&T 3G, with a T-Mobile 3G edition in the wings—the handset can handle 850/1900/2100Mhz for HSDPA/UMTS, plus T-Mo's 1700MHz band. Sascha at PC Mag is reporting a CDMA/EV-DO version as well. Jump for more details like that 480 x 320 screen—and giddy tittering—from sources all around the web, plus the official press release.

AT&T Releasing the BlackBerry Curve Tomorrow

We broke the news, gathered the reviews, and now thanks to the folks at RIM and AT&T, we can confirm for you that the BlackBerry Curve will come out tomorrow for $199 (with a 2-year contract and mail-in rebate). Not bad price-wise, and the Curve is tempting enough to make me wanna jump ship from Verizon Wireless. – Louis Ramirez More »
