Blackberry Tour 9630

I love my Blackberry Bold, but I can see myself trading it in for this beast...However...I'm still toying with the idea of maybe getting an iPhone 3Gs, since they've recently sorted out the whole copy & paste issue, plus the web browsing is dope.

Although I'm highly addicted to Blackberry Messenger! (that sealed the deal for me when I first got one back in '07).

One of the main additions of the Blackberry Tour is the display, which at a 480 x 360 resolution at 245 ppi delivers the highest resolution available on any BlackBerry.

Other key features include:

* 3.2 MP camera with flash, variable zoom, image stabilization, autofocus and video recording(i)
* Full HTML web browser, including support for streaming audio and video (RTSP)
* Advanced media player for videos, pictures and music, a 3.5 mm stereo headset jack and support for the Bluetooth(R) Stereo Audio Profile (A2DP/AVCRP)
* 256MB Flash memory
* Expandable memory via hot swappable microSD/SDHC memory card slot, supporting cards of up to 16 GB today and expected to support next generation 32GB cards when available
* Built-in GPS with support for geotagging, BlackBerry(R) Maps and other location based applications and services
* BlackBerry(R) Media Sync allows customers to quickly and easily synch music from iTunes(R) and Windows Media Player with the smartphone(ii)
* Premium phone features including voice activated dialing, enhanced background noise cancellation, a low-distortion speakerphone, and Bluetooth (2.0) support for hands-free use with headsets, car kits, stereo headsets and other Bluetooth peripherals
* Preloaded DataViz(R) Documents to Go(R), allowing users to edit Microsoft(R) Word, Excel and PowerPoint files directly on the handset
* Easy mobile access to Facebook(R), MySpace and Flickr(R), as well as popular instant messaging services including BlackBerry(R) Messenger, Yahoo!(R) IM, AIM(R), Google Talk and Windows Live Messenger(TM)
* Support for BlackBerry App World(TM), featuring a broad and growing catalog of third-party mobile applications developed specifically for BlackBerry smartphones. Categories include travel, productivity, entertainment, games, social networking & sharing, news & weather, and more
* BlackBerry(R) Internet Service allows access to up to 10 supported personal and corporate email accounts, including most popular ISP email accounts
* BlackBerry(R) Enterprise Server provides advanced security and IT administration features within IBM(R) Lotus(R) Domino(R), Microsoft(R) Exchange and Novell(R) GroupWise(R) environments
* Removable and rechargeable 1400 mAhr battery for 5 hours of talk time and 14 days of standby time

Available from this summer in the US, with further releases worldwide.

Show Me The Blackberry! (Video)

"If you ain't got a pin it's a Facebook ting!" FLOL!

For a pisstake, this is actually pretty catchy. Although I'm sure it won't be long before someone swagger jacks this and we get another remedial dance such as the "Blackberry Skank", or something similar...

On a side note, Miss London aka "the princess of comedy" doesn't look too bad...I think it's the spandex...erm, yeah...

BONUS! Maxwell D & LIl Silva "Blackberry Hype"



Sadly, this isn't a pisstake. The only good thing about this is the Lil Silva beat.

Blackberry Bold (aka Blackberry 9000)

'Oh boy!' as Dr. Sam Beckett would say....

The latest Blackberry has been unveiled, and it's definitely been worth the wait!

It seems that the operating software has seen some new developments, as well as a whole bunch of improvements, including WiFi, HSPDA, GPS, Bluetooth, and the memory. The Bold/9000 now comes with 1GB internal memory(!!!!!!!!!) for storage, and has 128MB Flash memory for applications - All upgradable. Like the Blackberry Curve, the Bold also has a built-in 2 mega pixel camera, with 5x digital zoom and flash.

What's really exciting is the improvements to the media player. This time, video support includes DivX 4, whilst Div X 5 & 6 are partially supported. XviD is partially supported. As for the audio - .3gp, MP3, WMA9 (.wma/.asf), WMA9 Pro/WMA 10, MIDI, AMR-NB, Professional AAC/AAC+/eAAC+ is supported. Even better, BlackBerry Media Sync allows you to transfer your desktop iTunes music to your BlackBerry!

Anyone who has a Blackberry swears by them (myself included) - the whole operating system is simple to use, and it's reliable. Yeh, the iPhone is nice to play with, and looks dope, but do they really think they can get the business phone market on lock?

I'm due for an upgrade this summer, and am hoping that T-Mobile will get this in time.
