We apologize for the lateness of this posting, there was a number of host issues last night and various technical difficulties that could continue at sporatic points during the day. Please bear with us as we work through this problem.
So up to now, we have pretty much given you every single bit of known information regarding the upcoming release of the Blackberry 8900. However, the one thing that has continuously been the subject of much speculation was the pricing. With the corporate release date of the phone drawing near, it was only a matter of time before we could get our hands on some prices. Well without further ado, the pricing rundown is as follows:
- 2-Year contract: $199 ($300 instant rebate)
- 1-Year contract: $249 ($250 instant rebate)
Update: Rumor has it that these prices are for business customers pre-release. History has taught us however, that we can expect that pricing will likely be the same for the public. The sole exception being the 1-year contract and whether or not it is going to be an available option for the consumer side. I have heard many of you convey that an acceptable price would be $199, so this should come as good news to a lot of you guy! Now all we have left to do is await the official release!

Update number 2: It looks like the Blackberry Curve 8900 has now shown up over on the T-Mobile web site!

Having already previewed the Dash 2.0 there isn’t really much to report for us on the cosmetic refresh that is the follow up to the popular Dash “1.0″ However, for those who might have missed last weeks report yet caught Boy Genius yesterday, the device is beginning to show up in retail stores. Like ourselves, Boy Genius was at first hopeful for a real device upgrade rather than a pretty color update, WM 6.1 and other small bug fixes. Nothing really exciting to speak of, so move along.
The picture pretty much speaks for itself, but as you can see the base color is a sexy looking black with a “TmoNews blue” accented keyboard. (Trademark pending so watch out!) As for everything on the inside, don’t expect a whole lot more than what the original Dash had to offer.
More pictures after the jump…

So what has Google been doing all this time since releasing Android?? Why making cupcakes of course! As seen on the Android Roadmap website, Google has come out of hiding and is offering up more information regarding the upcoming update to the Android OS. Curiously dubbed “cupcake,” there are some notable entries sure to make everyone take notice. Look for copy and paste within an updated browser, saving files sent via MMS, a HUGE e-mail overhaul that will allow it to actually be functional (fingers crossed on this one), video recording capabilities, and A2DP Bluetooth support. That’s right! It’s time to dust off that old set of Bluetooth headphones!
It is important to note that the updates are only in the development stage right now and will be unloaded on the awaiting public when the oven timer goes off. If all goes well, expect to have this update drop sometime in January although the developers have noted a possible slowdown due to the United States holiday season.
However, Android users are still awaiting more information as to the frosting of this cupcake, as no new information has surfaced regarding the future of Flash support or the ability to save applications to the memory card, which seem to be what most of the public’s mouth is watering for. But for the time being, it is nice to see Google putting in the muscle and bringing new features sooner rather than later. You hear that Apple, copy and paste…
For more information regarding the exact specifications of this development project head on over to the Android Roadmap site here.
Discuss here.
