Eager to pick up a new BlackBerry device? Well, the folks over at BoyGenius have come up with some possible release dates for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 and Curve 8520. It seems that the Curve should be available on T-Mobile sometime in Q4, while the 9630 Tour should be available on Verizon on July 13th. These aren’t official dates, but hopefully they’re accurate and will give us a guideline as to when the devices will be available.

Alltel subscribers who are looking to pick up the BlackBerry Pearl Flip will be happy to hear that the BlackBerry 8230 will be available on Alltel for just $99.99 after a $70 mail-in rebate, bundled with the customary 2-year contract of course. That certainly doesn’t sound like too bad a deal, especially if you’re a BlackBerry fan.

Folks living in the UK looking for a firmware update for their BlackBerry Storm 9500 can pick up the latest official 4.7.0.141 firmware from Vodafone UK. The good news is that since it’s an official firmware, you won’t have to worry as much about voiding your warranty as such. That being said, it’s still a good idea to exercise caution and always backup your data before you perform a firmware update, regardless of whether it’s official or not.

Most of us are still drooling over the pictures of the BlackBerry 8520, especially the cool optical trackball that it features. The question that everybody is obviously asking is “when can I get it?” Well, latest reports indicate that the device will be available on T-Mobile USA in Q4 this year, so there are still a few more months to go before you’ll be able to pick one up. We’re fairly sure that more leaks and pictures will keep surfacing until then, so stay tuned!

Folks who provide remote support will certainly have come across LogMeIn before, which is sometimes a useful alternative to VNC. Now folks who own a BlackBerry Storm will be able to use LogMeIn Ignition on their phones to access their Windows or Mac computers that are connected to the Internet. With LogMeIn Ignition and your BlackBerry Storm, it looks like you’ll never get an excuse to not fix a computer in the future.

Folks who own a BlackBerry 8900 will certainly want to sit up and take note that a leaked version of OS 4.6.1.231 has surfaced online. If you’re looking for something new for your BlackBerry 8900, this will certainly be something to keep you entertained. Of course, do remember that this is a leaked and unofficial version of the firmware, so always remember to proceed with caution, and also back up your important data and settings before trying it out.

It looks like we will be seeing a successor the RIM’s BlackBerry Storm sometime in the near future. According to reports, Jim Balsillie was quoted as saying “we have next-generation devices with [touch] and the whole roadmap.” With that in mind, it certainly looks like a new touchscreen BlackBerry device is on the cards. There isn’t any mention of when this new BlackBerry Storm will be released, but there are sources that indicate a period around September 2009, so keep an eye out for it.

It looks like AT&T subscribers won’t have to drool at their friends who are on T-Mobile using the BlackBerry Curve 8900, as the AT&T too will be offering the device. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is a popular device for obvious reasons, especially since it’s smaller, lighter and even has a slightly better camera than the BlackBerry Bold. The AT&T version is largely similar to the one that T-Mobile is offering, albeit lacking the UMA (unlicensed mobile access) feature that it available to T-Mobile subscribers.

The rumor of a BlackBerry without its famous trackball has been going around for a while now, but live pictures of the device have finally surfaced. Based on the picture, it can be seen that the trackball has been replaced by a more elegant looking trackpad, which might be controversial in the future. After all, the trackball is a classic feature. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 will feature a 2-megapixel camera, EDGE, Wi-Fi and a possible 480 x 360 resolution display. There isn’t any official word on this just yet, but there is a possibility of the device being announced at RIM’s upcoming Wireless Enterprise Symposium.

It’s not an official picture of the device, but it’s a leaked picture of the Telus inventory system supposedly showing a BlackBerry 9630, dubbed the Niagara, and then the BlackBerry Tour. Specifically, it’s not the device, but rather an accessory SKU for the BlackBerry 9630 that was pictured. When the accessories start coming out, you can be fairly sure that he real device isn’t too far behind.

Looking forward to a new BlackBerry, aside from the upcoming BlackBerry Tour (Niagara)? Well, word is now going around that there will be a new BlackBerry, dubbed the BlackBerry Apex. There aren’t too many details regarding this device just yet, but it seems the device might be a 3G clamshell device, similar to the Pearl Flip which is already available on T-Mobile. The device will most likely be a CDMA version of the Pearl Flip 8230 with EV-DO.

Telus subscribers can rejoice at the fact that the carrier has finally released the 4.7.0.122 build for the Blackberry 9530. This release, which comes after Bell had released a similar build, puts Verizon way down the list of carriers who are releasing up to date builds, as there still isn’t any such update from the carrier yet. Verizon really should get its act together in terms of keeping its devices updated, don’t you think?
