Here we go again; another Research In Motion (RIM) prototype device exposed on the Internet loooong before the BlackBerry-maker intended. This time around it’s the upcoming BlackBerry Pearl 9100, or, as it was codenamed, the BlackBerry Striker/Stratus.

We’ve known for a little while now that Canada’s ‘Big 3′ (Bell, Rogers and TELUS) have confirmed the Torch will be available on their respective networks. So far, we’ve had no launch date or pricing info to release… but of course, as time passes the rumors are bound to flow in.
RIM BlackBerry Bold 9650: Nothing Revolutionary, but a Good Business Device

Sprint customers disappointed by the lack of Wi-Fi on last summer’s BlackBerry Tour 9630 ($200 with a two-year contract from Sprint) will be pleased with the latest BlackBerry coming to the network. The BlackBerry Bold 9650 offers Wi-Fi and twice as much memory as the Tour. It also sports a superb keyboard and excellent messaging features. On the other hand, the BlackBerry OS lacks innovation and the browser isn’t on par with what you’d find on an Android phone or the iPhone.

BlackBerry Tour 9630 Review (Verdict: Get a Bold)

BlackBerry lovers using CDMA networks have been jumping for joy since the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Tour first peeped its head into the blogosphere as a concept sketch bearing the codename Niagara. Its development alongside the Bold lead to high hopes for a simultaneous release, but as is usually the case for CDMA BlackBerrys, many had to wait upwards of eight months after the belated AT&T (NYSE: T) Bold launch before the BlackBerry 9630 Tour came to market in the U.S. The Tour clearly borrows a lot from the Bold and Curve 8900, but introduces a few changes here and there to mix it up, like a one-sided external speaker and new battery door style, but overall it will be a familiar experience for those who have used a traditional BlackBerry.
