Just like the last one, this is another press release that RIM has posted on their site ahead of Mobile World Congress.  Unfortunately, the title is the only part of this release that is currently visible (Updated: the full release is up.  You can read it below.).  Perhaps this was posted in error and the [...]

Looks like Verizon Wireless will also be carrying the PlayBook.  SkatterTech got a tip about PlayBookWithoutLimits.com, which had a registration page for enterprise customers to sign up for a beta program.  The registration is now closed, but the site is still up.  There is a page that lists the PlayBook’s specs, but makes no mention of [...]

Today, BGR got their handson a memo from Verizon Wireless talking about how they are making some changes to their network to better accommodate the number of data users they have, and for the expected flood of new data-hogging iPhone users.  The biggest change that they’re making is that they are going to start throttling [...]

It has finally happened!  After months of speculating on when it would happen, Verizon has officially released BlackBerry 6 for the Bold 9650 and the Curve 3G 9330.  If you haven’t been upgrading because you were afraid of running such a new version without official support (my girlfriend is included in that bunch), then you [...]

Sad news leaked out of Big Red this week.  The first is that customers on 2-year contracts (most customers), you will have to wait 20 months to purchase a new phone at the upgrade price, as opposed to the previous system of being able to upgrade after 13 months as long as you extend your [...]

It’s of little consolation to those of us with Storms and will not be getting any updates, but for the rest of you, this should be welcome news.  A sharp-eyed CrackBerry reader, spotted this BlackBerry 6 upgrade guide in a Verizon store.  Inside the guide (screenshots below) are instructions on how eligible phones will be [...]

It’s no BlackBerry 6, but Verizon has come out with a consolation prize for 9550 owners in the form of 5.0.0.1015.  This leaked out a few weeks ago, but if you’ve been waiting to get it, I can tell you that it is worth the upgrade. After you’ve upgraded, don’t forget to update your profile [...]

As I mentioned last week, Verizon was rumored to release their new tiered data plans.  As of today, their new plans are live, and it is exactly what was reported.  In addition to the $30 unlimited data plan, which is unchanged, there is a new option where you can get 150MB of data for only [...]

Rumor has it that Verizon Wireless will be announcing their new tiered data plans next week, and they’re actually not that bad.  Here’s how they will allegedly break down: Smartphones $15 for 150MB ($0.10 for every MB over) $30 for unlimited Tablets $20 for 1GB ($0.10 for every GB over) $35 for 3GB ($0.10 for [...]

About a year ago, I left my brand new 9550 in a New York City cab, and I never saw it again.  I spent the next few days calling various people trying to see if it had been found, while watching the location on Google Latitude until the battery died.  I can say form experience [...]
