RIM apparently didn’t think the BlackBerry KickStart moniker was going to vibe too well with the general public, and has decided to rebrand their first foray in to clamshell designs. The first BlackBerry flip-phone, the BlackBerry KickStart, as it has been known, will hence forth be referred to as the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8220. The [...]

While many potential AT&T customers are eagerly awaiting Apple's July 11 launch date for the iPhone 3G, it's easy to forget that the No. 1 US wireless carrier is set to bring other tempting handset offers to market. Enter the BlackBerry Bold 9000. AT&T has just gone live with an official webpage to help whet the [...]

Well, it’s a week late by our rumor-watch , but AT&T has launched their GPS-equipped BlackBerry 8130 Curve to pull enterprise- and consumer-duty on the national carrier’s EDGE network. Unlike AT&T’s previously released GPS-equipped BlackBerry 8800 and BlackBerry 8820 with both WiFi and GPS, the BlackBerry 8130 Curve brings GPS functionality to the masses in a lower-cost phone. Complementing the GPS receiver that it has in tow, the BlackBerry 8130 Curve packs in a 2 megapixel camera, media player, microSD card slot, and Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP). And, paired with the TeleNav navigation service from AT&T, the BlackBerry 8130 Curve gives you turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Now, we said that AT&T is bringing this BlackBerry Curve to the masses as a lower -cost phone, not a low -cost phone. So, it’s still going to cost you a pretty penny - $199.99 (after 2 year contract and rebates) to be exact. But, if the prospect of getting your GPS fix (excuse the pun) for a relatively cheap price tickles your fancy, head on over to AT&T and pick from your choice of Red or Titanium Silver.

It looks like Research In Motion’s GPS and WiFi-toting BlackBerry 8820 is finally making it’s debut on AT&T’s nationwide network (well, Amazon’s offering notwithstanding ) - a bit behind our expected schedule. With a $299 price-tag, AT&T will begin offering users the chance to get in on the GPS and WiFi goodness that is RIM’s BlackBery 8820. Sorry, BlackBerry 8800 owners, but with today’s announcement, your RIM handheld is now something us industry-folk like to call “obsolete.” It’s a shame, we know - but that’s how it goes with mobile phones. One day you’re on top of the world, the next your last week’s news. The BlackBerry 8820 will be rocking the 8800’s business-centric camera-less exterior, EDGE, PTT (push-to-talk) functionality, microSD card slot, WiFi a/b/g, and of course the integrated GPS module. The question remains, will AT&T be crippling the GPS functionality on the 8820?
