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. On that note, judging by the 6.0 screenshots BGR scored from one of his sources, I'd say that at least considering the UI department, RIM is finally starting...

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 you. For now, it's late. Al...

Good 'ol fashion QWERTY key peckin' just isn't what it used to be. Touchscreen only input is too finicky not all that it's cracked up to be. So where does that leave you exactly? 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 much rumored BlackBerry Slider has been spied. And if sources are co...

BlackBerry users: Wishing you had some real mobile productivity on the cheap compliments of RIM? Do you have a library full of WMA music that you can't get rid of for any rhyme or reason? Good news...maybe. A new rumor has cropped up that pegs BIS 3.0 as providing Open Office and WMA file support among other things. For the mobile road warrior in a suit, having Open Office on your Berry is a blessing of epic proportions. Likewise, not having to transcode (by the way...don't ever, ever trans...
Tour with trackpad and WiFi (Essex/9650) seen in Sprint garb

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 WiFi and a trackpad were heard.
Now that actual p...
