Major telecommunication providers in the country are launching 3G networks soon, with Bharti Airtel aiming to upgrade to the wonders of HSPA before the end of this year.

Rumors suggest TELUS will launch on Sept 16th but, we now have the above information which suggests a Rogers release one day earlier on the 15th. We're...

Posted by Bla1ze on 27 Aug 2010 12:49 pm
The forums are filling up. The CrackBerry support email is getting lots of folks stating issues and we're led to believe we may have an outage on our hands. Some folks are reporting slow web browsing, email delays and general connectivity issues. Thus far, seems limited to North America but, if you're in another area and experiencing issues then please, let us know in the comments. I'm on...

While folks in the US have had the BlackBerry Torch 9800 available to them since August 14th, folks in Canada are still on the waiting list. Just about every Canadian carrier has stepped to the plate in letting us know they will be carrying the device but alas, none have given customers a date or even pricing. Bell is the latest to get a little bit closer to launch. Today, the sign up page has...

Posted by Bla1ze on 1 Apr 2010 9:00 am
Granted, KooDoo is just a branch off of its parent company TELUS but it does month to month services rather than requiring a contract. According to MobileSyrup and HoFo and well, the BlackBerry website that is already in place, it seems BlackBerry services will be arriving shortly for KooDoo customers. While their commercials are insanely annoying, KooDoo offers up a "TAB" system which...

Skype Mobile Now Available for Verizon Users ... But What About Other Carriers?

Posted by Bla1ze on 25 Mar 2010 9:00 am
As we already know, Skype Mobile has been rolled out to Verizon Wireless users at this point. The application is being pushed out to devices this morning to make for easy downloading. But now that it is here, we kind of have to wonder what exactly this means for Skype on BlackBerry as a whole. Its been quite a while since Skype made the initial announcement of their intentions to arrive on the...

Verizon Customers Forced To Update Data Plans (from BIS to BES) For BESX Usage

Posted by Bla1ze on 15 Mar 2010 12:49 pm
One of the most compelling features of BESX has been kicked to the curb for Verizon users. When Research In Motion released BESX, they clearly made note of the fact BES data plans would not be needed. I'm guessing Verizon skipped over that memo as it's now been confirmed that Verizon is going after the cash grab and forcing users to upgrade their BIS plans to a BES plan in order to use BESX....
