Head on over to BlackBerry’s official site to grab this shinny new software. Trackback | | Trackback | Tags: BlackBerry 6, Curve, Desktop Manager, Software, Torch | Category: BlackBerry Torch, Software This last week has been filled to brim with great news flooding the front pages of the BlackBerry blogosphere. The top headlines this week of course centering around the official release of the new BlackBerry 9800 Torch and it’s new operating system, BlackBerry 6. With plenty of tidbits of information regarding BlackBerry 6 circulating the net over the last several months, we BB junkies have had ample time to speculate over which (if any) of RIM’s current devices would be eligible to run this new operating system. Today I’m happy to report that there is finally a definitive answer to this debate and it comes straight from the man himself, Mike Lazaridis. In his most recent post over at Inside BlackBerry, (announcing the Torch 9800) Mr. Lazaridis took the time to comment on the status of some of the current BlackBerry devices already in use. “…I know many of you are also wondering about support for existing BlackBerry smartphones. I am happy to report that BlackBerry 6 will be available in the months ahead (pending carrier certifications) on some of our leading smartphones, including the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100, BlackBerry Bold 9650 and BlackBerry Bold 9700.” This is certainly good news for many of us out there and perhaps a little disappointing to others, however the fact that we will indeed see BlackBerry 6 on some of these current devices is a promising sign that there could be more devices joining this list in the future. We’ll keep you posted. Tags: | | Trackback | Tags: 9650, 9700, BlackBerry 6, Bold, Pearl 3G | Category: BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry Pearl, News & Rumors

Today is the day that many of us have been eagerly awaiting as Research In Motion (RIM) and AT&T held a launch event in New York city officially introducing the world to BlackBerry 6 and more importantly the first device that will run this latest software. Of course I speak of none other than the highly anticipated BlackBerry Torch 9800, the first BlackBerry smartphone that will offer users a true touchscreen experience while concealing a more traditional qwerty keyboard that reveals itself with a vertical ‘sliding’ action of the upper touchscreen. The BlackBerry 9800 Torch is now live on BlackBerry’s official website as well as AT&T’s site and will be available starting August 12 to AT&T customers for $199.99 USD with a qualifying 2-year service agreement. This is a great leap forward for RIM in the ever expanding market of touchscreen devices and in my opinion looks to be the best BlackBerry smartphone to date. Find more pics of the new 9800 as well as the full press release after the jump and as always feel free to share your thoughts on this exciting new device.

Can you believe August has arrived so quickly? It feels like 2010 is in some type of perilous race speeding ever onward to an inevitable crashing end. And while we’re on the subject of things racing by at break-neck speeds, anyone remember the movie TRON? The 1982 sci-fi classic staring Jeff Bridges. It had some sort of high speed race in it as I recall and I believe also ended in a crash. Now thanks to Hollywood’s current trend of rehashing everything from the 80′s (The A-Team, Karate Kid, Transformers, Red Dawn, ect, ect…) this December we’ll get a fresh new look at the world of TRON as Disney reinvents this familiar adventure with far better graphics and brings the world a sequel more than twenty-eight years in the making with the release of TRON Legacy. Now to our Theme of the Month. If you have visited us here at BlackBerryVoodoo.com before you’ll likely know that many of us around here love to keep our BlackBerry’s consistently immersed in new themes and many of our favorite themes draw inspiration from the world of pop culture. With these thoughts in mind it seemed a logical choice for the August Theme of the Month honors to go to a new theme developer joining our community, Tony Terry. Tony has kindly shared with our community several great new themes and his latest design aptly titled ‘TRON Legacy’ celebrates the upcoming Disney film of the same name. This theme is not only beautifully designed with an outstanding layout, great images, fonts and colors but is also an excellent example of how theme developers can help keep our favorite smartphones looking fresh by sporting the latest in trends, fashions and entertainment. Pop on over to Tony’s Tron Legacy theme post to find downloads and make sure to leave a comment or just a simple thanks for sharing his time and creativity with all of us theme lovers and sci-fi geeks.
