The lack of info coming from Verizon these days surrounding their launch of the new BlackBerry 7 devices is a little bit disturbing but there is no doubt they plan on launching them. The question remains - when? Sprint is rolling out on Auugst 21, and surely before or shortly after that Verizon will jump in an effort to grab some Sprint customers but that remains to be seen. We've seen the video, VZW is training and now -- we see a comparison chart for different carrier BlackBerry devices up against the BlackBerry Bold 9930. Alas, we wait -- hopefully for not too much longer now. Also, someone should inform Verizon of Sprints release dates. The Bold 9650 comparison will soon be pointless.

I switched from BlackBerry 10 to BlackBerry 7 and survived!
As I'm sure most of you already know, last weekend Kevin, James and I headed to Montreal to check out the Canadian Grand Prix — and we had an amazing time. I drove up from New Jersey with a friend of mine, but it wasn't until the day before that it dawned on me that I wouldn't have any phone service once hitting the Canadian border. Since I rarely leave the country I don't carry an...
