If you had any doubts about RIM’s handling of the Middle East/security situation that has been ongoing the last few months, a recent interview between RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis and BBC isn’t going to do much to stem your worries. While the interview itself is much longer than the short ~ minute long clip, it does give us a good look at a legitimate, ongoing issue despite claims from Lazaridis and RIM stating otherwise. During the clip, the BBC journalist...
BlackBerry fanatics, today is quite a special day. OS 5.0 may have been somewhat of a letdown, lacking in new features that the “5.0″ moniker would otherwise seem to suggest. But 6.0 has been promised to take the BlackBerry OS deeper into the mainstream consumer markets. Of course, it’s all talk until RIM actually steps up and produces.

We may have touched on the BlackBerry Slider earlier, but the picture at that time while fairly revealing, was simply lacking that crystal clear definition that we all so desperately seek. BBLeaks has struck back however with clearer shots of this hotly debated device from RIM. For a quick recap, WiFI g/n, touchscreen, OS 6.0 (why not skip straight to 10…?), and several other unannounced goodies lie in wait, hidden beneath the plastic carcass that you see before...

Up a particular creek without a paddle according to some — not somewhere you want to be. If RIM’s traditional style BlackBerries and new venture into the touchscreen world just isn’t doing it for you, boy do we have some good news for you! RIM’s...
The BlackBerry Tour is by far the best CDMA BlackBerry yet. It has style, power, and sophistication. But one glaring omission — WiFi — fails to earn it a “buy” rating in my book. Remember, no matter how good your carrier, there will always be dead spots. The Tour 2/Essex/9650 is no secret. It’s been rumored about and talked about for many months. In fact, shortly after (as in days) after the original Tour, talk of an updated model with...
