Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

9900 bold blackberry

RIM Blackberry has announced the launch of two models: the 9900 and 9930 Bold. No exact launch date has been given, although reports on various websites have the Bold models coming late summer.

The 9900 Bold is being launched on in the United States on the AT&T Wireless Network and the 9930 on the http://unlockology.com/index.php?main_page=product_free_shipping_info&cPath=1195&products_id=179 Network (USA). In the United Kingdom reports are that the 9900 will be available on Vodafone, Orange and Three Network.

Specs for both new models are yet to be posted on the Blackberry website. However we know that the look is similar to the 9000 Bold model. It will have a higher definition screen and a full QWERTY keyboard on the front and won’t have a slideout keyboard like the Torch http://unlockology.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1181&products_id=912 model.

Blackberry does state on its website that the 9900 and 9930 will be easier to use and faster. They will both come loaded with the new Blackberry 7 OS (operating system) which should result in faster browsing and search times. It will come with a 1.2 GHz processor, 8GB of memory and a 720p HD video recorder. Other applications will include Wi-Fi, a compass, and NFC technology.

RIM running Blackberry on Android? Is it a smart move?

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

Over the past few years, RIM’s dominance in the smartphone market has been slowly eroded with the introduction of both the Apple’s iPhone and a slew of other devices running on the Android platform.

Blackberry’s currently operate on RIM’s proprietary OS 6 firmware, and through its Apps World store, it sell thousands of different applications that have been specifically designed for the OS platform. However, RIM’s App World is heavy on business tool applications and short on gaming and other categories. Although many successful game applications already exist in the market, they have been written for either the Apple or Android platforms.

In addition to its mobile phones, RIM has now entered the tablet computing market with the introduction of the PlayBook tablet computer. The average PlayBook tablet user is less business oriented than the traditional Blackberry Smartphone user, so the demand for more casual or specialized applications is growing, but the introduction of new applications on the App World store is not keeping up with demand.

Will this supply and demand disparity force RIM into adopting the Android operating platform as an optional operating system on both its Blackberry phones and PlayBook tablet? With more than 120,000 apps available for Android devices, will the positives outweigh the negatives? With Apple’s every increasing dominance in both the Smartphone and Tablet arenas, I don’t see how RIM can avoid making this decision. This might be a decision that may help RIM gain back some of its lost market share and would probably attract a whole segment of new non-business customers to the RIM devices. To date RIM has kept this decision private and have declined to comment.

New Blackberry Bold 9780 hits South African Networks

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Research in Motion (RIM) has announced the launch of their new Blackberry Bold 9780 smartphone. A mobile phone with lots of improvements over it’s 9700 and 9000 series counterparts.

The Bold 9780 will not be a slide-out handset like the Blackberry Torch 9800. It will have a traditional configuration with a front facing screen and QWERTY keyboard. One of the best improvements on the 9780 is the new 5 megapixel camera and flash. It will also come with the newest version of the Blackberry operating system (OS 6) installed.

Cell C has revealed plans to launch the new 9780 Bold in South Africa in March. It is supposed to retail in the R4999 to R5299 range. Cell C is South Africa’s third cellular network operator behind Vodacom and MTN.

Vodacom has also confirmed that they will be launching the Blackberry 9780 Bold on their network, but they are yet to provide a date. It is not known if the MTN network will also be carrying the 9780 Bold.

Blackberry faces accessibility hurdles in India

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

In a similar move to what the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government did, Indian senior government officials have placed hurdles in relation to the requirements needed for encrypted enterprise information transfer.

RIM the maker of Blackberry’s has been assured, by the Indian government, that lawful access requirement for communication services will be applicable nationwide and will also affect other mobile handset makes such as Nokia, Samsung, Apple, HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson and Google Android, that also sell their products in the Indian marketplace.

Blackberry uses BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server), BIS (Blackberry Internet Service), and BBM (Blackberry Messenger) software to deliver information between networks and across different worldwide platforms. This information flow is encrypted and proprietary to RIM. The Indian government wants the ability to intercept and decipher these communications, but RIM which is based in Canada claims that it is not possible to grant full access.

India gave RIM until Jan 31st, 2011 to meet the new government standard of providing lawful interception of these highly encrypted consumer services. RIM in a company statement has said that it has provided the Indian government with a solution that can intercept and decipher BBM and BIS messages. It has yet to provide a solution for BES.

Spotted – The new Blackberry Storm 3

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

The long awaited release of the Blackberry Storm 3 might soon be over. The buzz on the street is that it will be released sometime in the fall of 2011. There have already been sightings of demo models.

The Storm 3 is Blackberry’s head on competitor to the iphone, because of its keyboard-free design. With Apple getting ready to release the iphone 5, the pressure on RIM to deliver a game changing Blackberry Storm 3 has never been higher.

The new Storm 3 is supposed to come with a track pad and a 3.7inch 480×800 display. It will be compatible on CDMA and EVDO 3G networks as it is destined to be released on the USA Verizon wireless network. The biggest noticeable change will be the touchscreen. It will no longer be the SurePress click-down screen. It will be loaded with the latest Blackberry 6.1 firmware.

NFC technology is also scheduled to be included. This is beginning to be standard in most high-end smartphones as the trend to use cellphones instead of credit cards to make wireless payments grows.

All in all, this is a long anticipated release and a very important one for RIM Blackberry if it to keep pace with the invasion of the iPhone and other Android cellular phones that have invaded the marketplace and eroded RIM’s overall market share.

Here at Unlockology.com we will keep you posted of any new developments.

What’s new from Blackberry? It wouldn’t be called a Touch?

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

The buzz on the street is that RIM, the parent company of the Blackberry smartphone series, is about to launch a new device. A touchscreen device similar to a Blackberry Storm but with a full QWERTY keyboard like those on the Blackberry Bold. But different to the Blackberry Torch which has a slide out keyboard. By some it has been dubbed the Blackberry Touch, a name I very much doubt they will adopt given the fact that HTC, one RIM’s biggest competitors already markets the Touch series of mobile phones.

What will it look like and what will set it apart from the competition? Some are saying it will be more candy bar shaped. According to some the project is codenamed “Dakota.” It is supposed to have a 5-megapixel camera that can also be used to take HD video.

There is talk of an NFC chip (more…)

The PRD number on a Blackberry – Can it help unlock your phone?

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

The PRD number on a blackberry (9800, 9700, 9000, 8900, 8520, etc) can help get a 100% correct unlock code according to Unlockology.com. With only 10 attempts to enter a correct unlock code before hard-locking your mobile forever, you do not want to guess. The PRD number format has eight numbers and can look something like this: PRD-27486-021. You can find the PRD number by taking the battery off your blackberry and looking on the UPC label on the phone. The numbers are small so make sure you provide not only a correct PRD number, but a correct 15 digit IMEI number off your phone. Unlock codes can vary by country, service provider and phone model, so it is important that the information you provide is correct.

< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Research In Motion (RIM) and its Blackberry brand have a lot riding on the launch of the new Blackberry 9800 Torch. With the battle for Smartphone supremacy in full heat, and Apple’s iPhone sales showing no signs of a slow down, Blackberry has its work cut out for it. Google and it’s Android operating software is also a hot contender.

The new Blackberry 9800 Torch is a touchscreen slider. In other words, the phone looks like a full screen smartphone, like an iPhone. However, it has a bottom part that slides down and reveals and full QWERT keyboard and an optical trackpad.
The touchscreen on the 9800 Torch is a lot more responsive than its predecessor, the blackberry storm.  There are two options for typing. It can be done on the on-screen keyboard or on the slide out keyboard. The slide out keyboard is probably the best blackberry has made to date. The keys are wide enough to provide enough room to type comfortably. Have the combination of a touchscreen and a full sized slide out keyboard is what makes the 9800 Torch stand out from the competition.

The Blackberry 9800 Torch also comes loaded with RIM’s new OS 6.0 operating system. The layout is somewhat different to what Blackberry users are used to, but there are plenty of new additions and it is quite easy to get used to. Similar to an iPhone, you can finger swipe through (more…)
