BlackBerry 9650 Unboxing and Impressions

The BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold 9650 that was launched on Sprint two weeks ago just came through my door this morning, and I’ve had the day to play around with it. It feels a bit beefier than I remember its predecessor, the Tour 9630 being, but that’s by no means a bad thing. I’m used to the 9000, and the 9650 feels like an excellent upgrade. It has some heft, and a nice ridged battery door for extra grip, but otherwise looks like the original Tour. The trackpad replacing the trackball is the obvious exception, and the inclusion of Wi-Fi makes me think this was the all-in-one device that the first Tour should have been. The single thing that sticks out right now is the 512 MB of app memory – a first for any BlackBerry, and a pretty big deal considering how quickly 256 MB can fill up.

Sprint (NYSE: S) has been promising this one for a long time, but between the Bold 9650, Curve 8530, and Storm2 9550, it seems like most of Sprint’s bases are now covered. I’d like to see the new Pearl on a CDMA carrier, but that usually takes upwards of 6-8 months.

For folks looking for a CDMA version of the Bold 9700, the 9650 fits the bill, but I wouldn’t expect any pleasant (or unplesant) surprises. It’s got the same 3.2 megapixel camera, HVGA display, mediocre browser, and top-notch e-mail handling. Although you can nab it now from Sprint for $200 on contract, Verizon (NYSE: VZ)’s on the verge of releasing their own. Up here in Canada, I would be surprised to see Bell or Telus (NYSE: TU) offer it, since they’re both packing the GSM Bold 9700 already.

If you’d like to hear more about the 9650, stick around – a full review will be coming next week. In the meantime, here are some pictures and video. Show of hands, who’s thinking of picking one up?

BlackBerry Partners Fund Expands with $100 Million Affiliate Fund in China

The BlackBerry Partners Fund has announced the expansion of its investment activities with the launch of a US$100 million affiliate fund focused on mobile investment opportunities in China. BlackBerry Partners Fund China is a new joint venture between venture capital group, China Broadband Capital Partners and the BlackBerry Partners Fund. The new Fund will invest exclusively in opportunities supporting the emerging mobile ecosystem in China, tand is expected to close on August 31, 2010.

"The BlackBerry platform offers tremendous opportunities for startups and other technology innovators to develop new value-added products and services for the mobile market," said Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO of Research In Motion. "We are very excited by the announcement of this new fund and we believe it will help fuel substantial innovation and commercial success within the mobile ecosystem in China."

"The launch of BlackBerry Partners Fund China will further extend the benefits of our partnership with Research In Motion and position us to take better advantage of attractive investments in one of the fastest growing mobile computing markets in the world," said Kevin Talbot co-managing partner of BlackBerry Partners Fund.

"China Broadband Capital Partners is pleased to work with BlackBerry Partners Fund to explore investment opportunities and promote the development of mobile technologies and applications in China," said Edward Tian, Chairman of China Broadband Capital Partners. "BlackBerry Partners Fund China represents an incredible opportunity to support technology entrepreneurs in China who are shaping the future of mobile computing, and we look forward to making the Fund the leading investment vehicle for mobile in China."

"Edward Tian is a thought leader not only in China's venture capital market but also on the global stage," said John Albright, co-managing partner of BlackBerry Partners Fund. "He and his team of highly experienced investors bring invaluable local experience to our global fund."

BlackBerry Bold 9700 from T-Mobile

Good news for the owners of a BlackBerry Bold 9700 from T-Mobile, because a new version of its operative system has been released and is now set at OS 5.0.0.586.

There aren’t many new features but there is a good number of improvements and one fixed issue, more specifically:

* 3G issues are now resolved;

* SMS interface and OS stability have been improved;

* trackpad performance and visual voicemail got an improvement as well;

* a new mobile backup support.

Twitter for Blackberry Gets Updated

RIM announced that a new update for its Twitter application has been rolled out. The application is still in beta and introduces a slew of new and user-requested features. Here is the complete changelog:

Quote Tweets
- The new version of Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones allows users to quote a tweet by selecting the “Quote Tweet” from the menu options. Using the new feature adds quotation marks around the original tweet, and users can then add or edit the content of the original tweet.

Username Auto Complete
- While tweeting, when you type an “@” followed by characters, the auto complete feature pops up a list of users as you type. This is a handy tool for quickly adding a long username or if you can’t quite remember how to spell a friend’s handle.

Go to User
- Users can now access Twitter profiles from anywhere within Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones using the auto complete feature mentioned above. Simply select “Go To User” in the Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones menu.

Personal Information Guard

Designed to help keep your personal information safe! A warning appears in Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones when certain personal information (e.g. email address, PIN, phone number) is about to be shared.

Additional Photo viewing support
In addition to Twitpic support, users now have the ability to view tweeted photos from YFrog and TweetPhoto!

View Geotagged Tweets

Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones does not yet allow users to add geolocation to their tweets. In the new version, however, the locations of geotagged tweets can be viewed using BlackBerry® Maps.

New Navigation Hotkeys
A bunch of new hotkeys have been added for speedy navigation. Familiarize yourself with the list below as they are quite helpful:

* R (reply)
* L (reply all)
* Space (page down)
* F (retweet)
* C (compose)
* D (refresh)
* Alt+0 (home)
* Alt+1 (mentions)
* Alt+2 (lists)
* Alt+3 (profile)
* Alt+4 (inbox)
* Alt+5 (find people)
* Alt+6 (search)
* Alt+7 (popular topics)

Fuchsia BlackBerry Curve 8520, White Bold 9700 now on T-Mobile

As expected, T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) has released the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Curve 8520 in fuchsia and the Bold 9700 in white. While the white Bold has made the rounds, the fuchsia 8520 looks like it’s an exclusive offer. The two BlackBerrys are really pitted at opposite ends of the value spectrum; the 9700 is RIM’s top-of-the-line smartphone, featuring a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, HVGA display9700, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 256 MB of application memory. On the flip side, the Curve 8520 has a 2 megapixel camera with no flash, Wi-Fi (no GPS), and a QVGA display. Of course, that disparity is justified with dramatically different price points: $49.99 on a two-year contract for the Curve, or $129.99 on a two-year contract for the Bold. Both offer calling over Wi-Fi through T-Mobile’s UMA service.

We’re still not sure if T-Mobile will pick up the new Pearl 9100, so if you’re on the verge of getting a BlackBerry, you’re probably safe to nab either the 8520 or 9700 in the new colours without too much regret down the line. Besides, the only thing the new Pearl has over the Bold is Wi-Fi 802.11 n.

Twitter for BlackBerry Updating Tonight With Quoting, Shortcuts

Those of you who have been enjoying the official Twitter for BlackBerry app will be happy to hear that there are a few new features on the way tonight. Quoting (i.e. editable retweets), viewing geotagged tweets, picture preview support for Yfrog and TweetPhoto, and navigation shortcuts are all here. A few smaller usability features are also included, like new navigation shortcuts for tabs, privacy warnings in case you’re accidentally tweeting e-mails or phone numbers, and auto-complete suggestions when making an @ mention.

There’s still a few things missing, like geotagging your tweets, multiple account support, and address book integration, but I’m sure they’ll come all in good time.

The update should be pushed out tonight for those who already have the app, and if you don’t, you can nab it at the App World link below.

Qatar Telecom (Qtel) today launched the BlackBerry® Storm2™ smartphone for customers in Qatar at all their retail shops.

This innovative and award-winning touch-screen smartphone, the BlackBerry® Storm2™ significantly improves the BlackBerry® touch-screen platform with new technology and new features to let customers stay easily connected to the people, places and things that matter most.

The new BlackBerry Storm2 is now available from Qtel shops across the country.

Among the key features of the model is new SurePress Technology, which responds equally to gentle pressure applied anywhere on the surface of the screen, making clicking the display almost effortless. The new SurePress technology also allows the user to type a letter with one thumb even while their other thumb may still be touching or resting on another letter, enabling faster typing and multi-key actions.

The phone also provides a large, dazzling, high resolution display; a 3.2 MP camera with variable zoom, autofocus, flash and video recording; 256 MB of Flash memory; and 2 GB of onboard memory storage.

Qtel offers both Hala BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) and Shahry BlackBerry Internet Service, providing the widest possible range of choice and value for customers. It also offers a BlackBerry® Enterprise Service, with a host of support services for businesses.
