They may be a week behind some of the other UK networks, but Vodafone UK now have the BlackBerry Curve 9320 available. From £112 on PAYG + V.A.T (£135), the Curve 9320 -- as we have already detailed -- is a real BlackBerry Bargain. With the latest version of software, 7.1, and its glorious traditional hardware keyboard the Curve 9320 is the perfect device for those of you who put social networking and communication at the forefront. Keep reading for the full press release.
When you're not on an unlimited data or calling plan and you like to keep an eye on your usage to make sure you don't go over your allowance, there isn't always a simple way to do. Not with some UK networks anyway. I don't really want to have to call a number to check my balance or data allowance or have to login on the website from my phone. I would prefer be able to check it from my BlackBerry via an app. Today Vodafone released their My Vodafone app which is available for UK customers. The app allows you to:
- See how much inclusive allowance you've used if you're a pay monthly customer
- See how much credit you have remaining if you're a pay as you go customer
- See your price plan information
- Get answers to the most frequently asked questions
- Locate BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots
- See how many megabytes or messages you've used in the current period
A few things to note though. It is not available to business customers as of yet and new customers will need to wait until after their first bill to see account information. Also, the allowance shown is not given in real time. As with most networks it is normally the allowance from the last 48 hours -- make sure you keep this in mind.
The My Vodafone app is available for BlackBerry devices with OS 4.0 and above.
Vodafone UK customers ... the wait is over! The BlackBerry Bold 9790 is now available on the network. The smaller of the Bold devices, dubbed as the little brother/sister to the BlackBerry Bold 9900, sports a 1GHz processor and a 2.45 in touchscreen display. It is available for free from £30 a month on 24-month contract, this gives you 600 mins, unlimited texts and 500MB of data. It is available on lower tariffs for a one-off payment.
In releasing the BlackBerry Bold 9790, Vodafone becomes the second UK network to do so (with O2 UK being the first). That just leaves three more networks to release it, as well as our favourite mobile phone stores Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4 U. Hopefully it won't be too long now until other networks have this awesome device available.

Do you find BlackBerry smartphones sexy in white? Becoming available just in time for the Christmas season, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is now available from Phones 4 U and Vodafone UK in white.

So, if you've held out to get the Bold 9900 in white now is the time to get yourself one. Phones 4 U has the device available in white for all networks except Vodafone, where you can get it direct from them.

The long awaited White BlackBerry Bold 9900 has finally hit the streets. Vodafone UK is offering up the device today and customers can grab it for as little as £39 for 24 months, which includes 1000mins, unlimited text and 750MB of data and BIS. Other plans are available as well, so check for the option that best fits you.
So what say you? Do you prefer the black or white Bold 9900? Let us know in the comments!
Everyone loves white devices, perhaps no one more than Kevin. While we've all been super happy with our BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930's in black, there is just something about the white version that makes it look oh so awesome. We've seen a few images of the device here and there, but until now no solid info was known as to where or when the device would actually surface. Vodafone has helped us out in posting a sneak peek video of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 in white. The device in the video is still unbranded, but it's a great sign to see that it will indeed be hitting carriers at some point. Check out the video above for more and be ready to get your white on.
Another BlackBerry 7 has been made available by three UK networks. This time it is the BlackBerry Torch 9810. If you're waiting to get your mitts on this BlackBerry smartphone then Vodafone, O2 and Three all have it available on contract.
On Vodafone, you can get the Torch 9810 for free from £31 a month, O2 offers it free from £37 per month and Three only offers one price plan for £37 a month. O2 and Three also offer the Torch 9810 on pay as you go for £429.99 and £449.99 respectively. The BlackBerry Buyer's Guide UK Edition has been updated to reflect these updates.
So far we've only been seeing three UK networks releasing BlackBerry 7 devices. We've yet to see T-Mobile and Orange release any. Let's hope they do soon for the sake of our CrackBerry readers on those networks.

A week ago we had a look at the BlackBerry smartphones available on each of the top 5 UK networks. This list consisted of devices available on contract. With Pay and Go very popular in the UK, it was only right to roundup a list of all BlackBerry devices available for users who prefer Pay and Go.
You may want to bookmark this post as it will be updated accordingly, when new devices get added. Namely, the BlackBerry 7 devices we are all eagerly waiting for.
We knew the BlackBerry Bold 9900 would be a hit and it looks like that's definitely the case for Vodafone UK customers. The Bold 9900 has been available for a little more than a month on the UK carrier, but already the device is listed as sold out on their website. According to the site the device won't be available again for another 3-4 weeks, so if you were looking to pick up one on Vodafone you'll unfortunately have to hang tight for quite a while. There have been some rumors in the forums that Rogers is sold out as well, but we haven't been able to confirm anything just yet.
If you're anxiously waiting for the BlackBerry Torch 9810 to arrive on Vodafone UK, we may have some good news for you. A watchful CrackBerry member sent in a tip that this device is showing on the Vodafone UK website now, and sure enough it is.
Though technically not supposed to be available until early October, and not available through searching the site, you can see it by clicking the link below. According to the information on the Torch 9810 page, you can pick this BlackBerry 7 device up for as little as FREE on a £41/month contract. Let us know if you successfully order one from Vodafone UK, and thanks to Rob for the tip!
Here in the UK we have the top 5 networks for buying your mobile phone on - O2 UK, Vodafone UK, T-Mobile UK, Orange and Three. Although T-Mobile and Orange trade under an individual name they merged back in July 2010, so a lot of their tariffs end up being very similar if not the same. With a handful of networks it is sometimes hard to know what networks sells which BlackBerry and where the best deal lies. Of course you have Phones 4 U and Carphone Warehouse that deal with all the networks but first off we shall look at BlackBerry devices and tariffs available directly from the networks. The costs shown are for a 24-month contract. For an 18-month contract add £5 to the monthly cost, unless otherwise stated.
With the devices now uncovered, Vodafone UK has also taken the wraps off their sneak peek videos much like we've seen in the past with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Torch 9860. The above video gives a pretty cool, albeit basic walkthrough of the device and shows off some of the features of course. Any Curve fans going to be keeping tradition and picking one fo these up?
After a lot of speculation to the exact release date of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 in the UK, one network has finally made the device available to purchase today. Vodafone UK confirmed via their Twitter account that the Bold 9900 is available now. Forum users on the Vodafone network have confirmed they are receiving their device after they had pre-ordered theirs.
So what are you waiting for? Go get yourself a BlackBerry Bold 9900 today.
It should come as no surprise that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is a highly anticipated device, and many of us are waiting anxiously to get our hands on it as soon as we can. Vodafone UK customers can now begin to pre-order the device via the Vodafone site, and they are aiming for delivery of the pre-orders prior to August 16, just a week away. The device is listed on the site for free with price plans of £41 and above, or you can pay £399 upfront and then have a lower monthly plan. Carphone Warehouse is offering the device for free with a plan of £31 a month, or £500 off contract. Excited much? Head over, place your pre-order, and be sure to give us a shout when your brand new, shiny Bold 9900 arrives!
