BlackBerry Bold 9780

RIM’s highly-anticipated refresh to the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has finally made its way to our stores. The Bold 9780 will be available from T-Mobile stores nationwide starting from today. This updated phone isn’t too different from the previous Bold. It features a better 5 megapixel camera, twice the amount of RAM at 512MB, and most importantly- BlackBerry OS 6 out of the box. OS 6 brings a whole new experience to the BlackBerry, with the inclusion of a universal search, an updated UI, and the WebKit browser that brings the desktop internet experience onto the mobile phone. So if you’re looking for a BlackBerry, but the Torch is much too fancy, you can’t go wrong with the classic BlackBerry design on the Bold- In fact, the 9780 is almost identical to the 9700. The BlackBerry Bold 9780 comes in Black or White, and will be sold for $129.99 with a 2-year contract and $499.99 off-contract. If you’re interested in getting one, you can head to the official T-Mobile online store to get your hands on one. Are you interested in getting the Bold 9780, or will you be getting a smartphone running another operating system instead?

Karalux Extends Midas Touch To BlackBerry Priv

karalux-priv-1Back in the day, it was anathema to think that Apple computers would run on Intel processors, and Apple machines would have Microsoft Office running on them. Well, those days have long since arrived and gone, and it looks like to hear of a BlackBerry device running on Android? Now that’s what is going to happen with the BlackBerry Priv, where the folks over at Vietnam-based Karalux have something special up their sleeves for this handset, that is, by offering a gold-plating service.

It is going to be more challenging than usual though, as Karalux shared, “Unlike the previous generations, it is a little bit more difficult to disassemble BlackBerry Priv. Karalux engineers took nearly 2 hours to ‘operate’ its details, and spent 4 more hours with more than 10 different procedures to complete the first gold-plated BlackBerry Priv in Vietnam.”

The handset and gold-plating will cost $1,111 thereabouts, whereas international customers will have to fork out more at approximately $1,350 to bring one of these puppies back home. [Press Release]

blackberry-10-logo-602x316It looks like BlackBerry has not decided to call it quits just yet where the smartphone market is concerned, and this time around, their unannounced smartphone has been given the codename BlackBerry Venice. What makes the BlackBerry Venice special is the fact that this could very well be one of BlackBerry’s very first devices that will run on the Android mobile operating system.

In recent times, we have heard that the BlackBerry Venice ought to be made available some time down the road over at AT&T. Apparently, @evleaks claims that this new handset, too, will be sold by T-Mobile, although there is no exact word on availability.

Whispers on the street point to the BlackBerry Venice arriving later this November. I guess all that we can do now is to sit tight and wait.
