Blackberry Curve 3G Unboxing Video: What’s Inside the Box?

Above is the Blackberry Curve 3G unboxing video for you to enjoy. The video will show you what’s inside the Blackberry Curve 3G box. The Blackberry Curve 3G is not actually a high-end smartphone; but it might be an interesting deal for people who are looking for an affordable Blackberry.

The Blackberry Curve 3G specs and features includes 624MHz processor, 2 megapixel camera, 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, expandable memory up to 32GB etc. Overall there’s nothing eye-opening in the Blackberry Curve 3G specs and features, but still it is a Blackberry, the smartphone that everyone love.

Official AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, Google Talk & ICQ BlackBerry IM Clients Updated To Version 2.5.63

64ffa blackberry im clients 300x217  Official AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, Google Talk & ICQ BlackBerry IM Clients Updated To Version 2.5.63

RIM recently updated all the official BlackBerry instant messaging clients to version 2.5.63. If you’re a member of the BlackBerry Beta Zone you’ll notice that these apps are no longer listed since they’ve been updated. I’m personally not a big fan of these apps as I use IM+ Pro (which has a free version), but I know many who still do especially now that BlackBerry 6 integrates them in the Social Feeds app.

For more info or to download the instant messaging apps go to one of the following links from your BlackBerry browser:

You can also find the new versions in the BlackBerry App World. If you spot any changes be sure to mention them in the comments!

6652a blackberry traffic app 2  BlackBerry Traffic Updated To Beta Version 1.2.0.869 – Now Includes Support For The Torch 9800

Quite a few readers let me know that RIM updated the BlackBerry Traffic application to beta version 1.2.0.869. This new version “adds BlackBerry Torch support and important safety warning language” as well as a “few minor tweaks to the user interface (improved banner design and revised icons)”. No new functionality has been added in this version but there are plans to add some in upcoming versions.

If you’re interested in the new version of BlackBerry Traffic you can download it from the Test Center in the BlackBerry App World or sign in to the Beta Zone for more info.

RIM To Announce Second Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results On September 16

930c3 rim logo black 287x124  RIM To Announce Second Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results On September 16

Just a quick note for anyone who’s interested in RIM’s financial well-being. A conference call will be held at 5PM ET on September 16th where they will be reporting results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The details:

Waterloo, ON – Research In Motion Limited (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) will be reporting results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 on September 16, 2010 after the close of the market.  A conference call and live webcast will be held beginning at 5 pm ET, which can be accessed by dialing 800-814-4859 or by logging on at www.rim.com/investors/events/index.shtml. A replay of the conference call will also be available at approximately 7 pm by dialing 416-640-1917 and entering passcode 4310309#. This replay will be available until midnight ET September 30, 2010.

RIM usually posts a replay of the webcast after it ends so if you can’t make it to the live conference call, I’ll most likely be posting the replay and a transcript (if I can find one) afterwards.

Verizon Wireless Offers New Prepaid Data Package On 3G Smartphones And Multimedia Phones

534ae verizon logo  Verizon Wireless Offers New Prepaid Data Package On 3G Smartphones And Multimedia Phones

Verizon yesterday announced new prepaid offerings for 3G smartphones and multimedia phones on the Verizon Wireless network. The plans for BlackBerry users are available for $30 a month for unlimited data. Right now customers can add these plans to their accounts in stores but they won’t be available on the Verizon website until September 28th.

“These new data offerings will help our prepaid customers experience the full breadth of Verizon Wireless’ robust device portfolio and the many engaging, informative and helpful applications that depend on a data plan,” said Jim Sullivan, director of marketing for Verizon Wireless. “Our prepaid customers will now have the freedom to enjoy all of the capabilities that these phones have to offer, while controlling costs and without being tied to a contract.”

Here are the BlackBerry smartphones that have access to these plans:

  • BlackBerry® Curve™ 8330
  • BlackBerry® Curve™ 8530
  • BlackBerry® Storm™ 9530
  • BlackBerry® Storm2™ 9550
  • BlackBerry® Tour™ 9630
  • BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650

It’s interesting to see Verizon offering prepaid data plans for the BlackBerry smartphones mentioned above even though most of them are supposedly getting axed very soon. Of course there are those of us that will have these devices for some time before upgrading to a new one, so I guess it makes sense. For more info on the Verizon Wireless prepaid plans go to verizonwireless.com/prepaid.

DataViz, Makers of Documents To Go, apparently acquired and now owned by Research In Motion

5f7ef rimdataviz  DataViz, Makers of Documents To Go, apparently acquired and now owned by Research In Motion

DataViz, makers of the popular Documents To Go application, announced sad news today for Palm fans. Though the company started out developing for Palm, they are not going to proceed in developing the Documents To Go solution for Palm WebOS. You can read all about that here.

More interesting than this news from DataViz though is the news they didn’t announce….. they were bought by RIM!! Though neither company has publicly announced it (yet), multiple sources have confirmed to us that RIM recently acquired DataViz for a reported $50 million cash (not material to RIM, so they didn’t have to disclose it publicly as they have done with other acquisitions like the QNX one). Jump on to LinkedIn and you can also quickly find that lots of former DataViz employees have recently switched up their profiles to Research In Motion as their current employer.

Yet another interesting acquisition by RIM. My guess is this is a bit of an enterprise play – put a BES in your business and every device gets the full version of Documents To Go for free. It would be sweet if that was the case for consumers too!! Add this bit of news to the mix and it’s no surprise then that DataViz isn’t persuing development for Palm… I’m guessing with time they may start to reduce or phase out work for other non-BlackBerry OEMs too (that one is just a hunch though).

I’d say it’s a smart buy for RIM. What do you think?!

How to Nominate your Favorite Apps and Developers

To nominate your favorite apps and developers to win a 2010 Crackie award, simply leave a comment to this blog post with the category name followed by the app or developer name. Just check the first comment – I’ll leave an example there.

The Crack Team already has a pretty good idea of some of the many apps that deserve to be in each category, but we want to make sure we don’t miss any so this is your chance to have your voice heard as to who should be nominated as category finalist. Nominations will close this coming Tuesday at Midnight PST. From there the CrackBerry Academy will work through the nominations and argue back and forth to determine the top five finalists in every category, who will then compete in the community vote which will happen here on the blogs later next week.
