Angry Birds for BlackBerry

Sorry, RIM, you know I love you, but I couldn’t resist. Let’s just say the BlackBerry was not designed for gaming. But, hey, at least you’re still the best at mobile email. You’ve got to look on the bright side of things sometimes, no matter how dark things might seem. Sorry, BlackBerry fans, either you have the classic BB or the Blackberry Curve and Bold, there is no Angry Birds coming to your device, not even a text-based version. Though... Continue reading

Five-Foot Tall Blackberry Tour Made Entirely Out of LEGOs and a Flatscreen TV

Iconic LEGO sculpture Nathan Sawaya is at it again, and boy does he know his audience. We’ve discussed how Sawaya proved to us the fine line between LEGO art and LEGO play, but he’s just taken it a step further with his newest creation – a five-foot tall LEGO model of the Blackberry Tour 9360. But don’t worry, Sawaya didn’t cheap-out on the display. In fact, he integrated a large flatscreen TV into the model to simulate the screen of... Continue reading

Blackberry Tour Hits Verizon Next Month

Verizon users are grinning. There’s finally a new phone in the pipes that people will actually want to buy. It’s the Blackberry Tour and it costs as much as an iPhone 3GS and drops July 12th. What’s that magic $199 price tag net you? The Tour of course can do 3G but it also has a nice 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus, a 480×360 display, Bluetooth and GPS. While the lack of WiFi is disappointing, it’s hardly surprising for a Verizon... Continue reading

Fallout Invades Your Blackberry

If you have a Blackberry and fancy yourself a Fallout 3 fan, then you’re in luck. Some modder created a working Pip-Boy theme for the Blackberry that works quite well. It comes in green and blue. It works on the Blackberry Curve so people with other models will have to do a little tweaking or just make their own. Link [via]

Rumor: Blackberry Storm 2 Due In September

Take this one with a grain of salt considering how away September is, but according to SlashGear, RIM is working on a new version of the Storm for Verizon. The touchscreen device will finally get WiFi in addition to fixes that will fix issues that plagued the original Storm. Obviously, Blackberry App World will be included but that’s about the extent of the details right now. I’m going to assume that RIM will take the opinions of first-time Storm consumers...

RIM Ditching Smartphones; Introduces BlackBerry Yogurt

In a sudden and shocking move by one of the leading mobility companies in the world, RIM has announced that they will be discontinuing all of their interests in the smartphone sector and will be focusing all of their efforts on their newest product, BlackBerry Yogurt. “The recession has put a considerable strain on the fledgling mobile industry, and competing with the iPhone has just become too much for us,” an unnamed RIM executive said in a confidential statement. RIM... Continue reading

RIM Launches Blackberry App World

This is no April Fool’s prank, my friends. In the wee hours of this morning, RIM switched on its competitor to Apple’s App Store, the Blackberry App World (how creative). You’ll be able to browse top apps, find new ones and hope someone was able to make a half-decent program in such little time. RIM is saying that by the end of the week, about 1000 apps will be available. Much better than the Google G1′s Android Marketplace launch, but... Continue reading

Skype Coming to iPhone

iPhone? We don’t need no stinkin’ iPhone! eBay has announced that its ultra-popular VoIP software, Skype, will be available for download sometime on Tuesday. The application will change the way people use their iPhones and could even put a dent in sales of the Apple device as more people choose the unrestricted iPod Touch over the iPhone. All your standard features are available, save for video chat. Blackberries will also be getting a Skype application on Tuesday, paving the way... Continue reading
