Blackberry Storm Pricing Leaked

Over on Howard Forums, a cellphone forum I stopped going to years ago, some kind stranger was nice enough to leak a screenshot of some placeholder pages on Verizon Wireless‘ website. The Blackberry 9530 Storm is going to cost $219 with a two-year contract and a killer $519 if you decide to pay month-to-month. A one-year contract upgrade will net you the Storm for $289. If you want the Storm, I’d say this is your best bet.

Don’t get me wrong. These screens could very well be doctored or ’shopped, but for now, it’s nice to have a little more information on Verizon’s upcoming iPhone killer.

Rim Clock

Filed under: Design, Household

Maybe I have issues but I get really excited over beautifully-designed clocks. Maybe it’s the fact that time is so precious, it must be treated with great artistic respect. Maybe I just took too much X in my teens. Who knows. One thing is for sure: The Rim Clock from Jansen Lye will look beautiful in any room. The pointed hand indicates the minutes while the stubby hand indicates the hour. Easy enough, no?

RIM Debuts Flipberry

Filed under: Cellphones, Design

Cellphone power users love their Blackberry. I miss mine but alas, it took a spill a few years ago and never recovered. Maybe I should upgrade and get the just-released Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 smartphone. Is it just a Blackberry Pearl that folds in half? Ehhh, you could say that - if you’re a communist.

For the fashionista who just doesn’t have time to get jammed full of cock, here’s a pair of Blackberry earrings for you. Classier than a pair of zippers, these will symbolize your commitment to your device and undying love for it. The next time you’re popping a squat on the toilet with these on and your Blackberry device in your hand, I want you to remember that you’re a total RIM job.

Zing!

The Grand Canyon SkyWalk has finally received its first visitors. The SkyWalk, which will open to the public on March 28th, 2007, extends 70 ft out from the canyon’s rim and can sustain winds of up to 100 mph. Viewers on the SkyWalk will get a grand scale view at a height of 4,000 feet, more than twice the height from the top of Taipei, the world’s tallest building.

The SkyWalk can hold a maximum of 120 people at any given time and will cost thrill seekers $25 in addition to the admission fee to the national site. Images from the SkyWalk are breathtaking. Actually being there must be a life changing experience of beauty.

New BlackBerry 8800 is full-sized Pearl

blackberry 8800 front

The BlackBerry Pearl sure was pretty, wasn’t it? Now the newly revealed BlackBerry 8800 from RIM takes that special design centerpiece (the scrolling ball) and puts it into a full size BlackBerry.

The 8800 has a full keyboard with one button per letter, which is the way it should be. Sorry, no camera. RIM is probably sick of the random drunk snapshots you keep sending them. Another sad spot is that there isn’t any Wi-Fi integrated into this design, but to make up for it, EDGE is standard and its quad-band. We also have Bluetooth 2.0 and a GPS receiver built in. The BlackBerry 8800 is launching on Cingular this month for $299 in addition to a 2-year contract with the devil.  (more…)
