Vodafone UK, which was set to release the BlackBerry Torch 9800 on September 27th has now updated their website to show that...

After a fairly long break from development, BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife) has been updated to version 1.8. The update brings with it some fixes as well as a few new features. If you aren't familiar with BBSAK, it is a desktop utility that allows you to do a ton of stuff for your BlackBerry like wipe, load a new OS, install CODs from your desktop, take screenshots and much more.

The latest commercial comes from Vodafone in India and features a great tune that is sure to be stuck in your head for hours. Overall I like the premise of the ad that BlackBerry isn't just for the working man...

Posted by Bla1ze on 22 Sep 2010 3:46 pm
Last night the next Storm finally appeared touting its numerical designation, 9570. Today, we now get a better look at what, exactly the BlackBerry 9570 is. As noted, the overall look of the device is just that of a BlackBerry Storm2. No physical design changes will be found here and it's certainly not thinner in any way. All changes come internally with the memory upgrade and processor being...
