Late last night a new OS update came for the BlackBerry Curve 8520.  It’s a leaked OS so if you do decide to install, make sure you do so at your own risk.  Also, when installing making sure to delete the “vendor” file after installing the OS on your PC, but BEFORE you open BlackBerry Desktop Manager to install on your device.

We came across an article from RIMarkable showing a BlackBerry Storm 2 with a paper reading “GSM = AT&T.”  We don’t have any final words on official branding but had to share this interesting image which exemplifies some confidence that it will come out for AT&T Wireless. We all know the general specifics on the device.  It will be hooked up with WiFi as promised along with all the new technologies such as enhanced typing on the screen, increased speed, and more memory.  So when’s the due date?  No one knows yet.  Stay tuned for more info.

We told you months ago about the BlackBerry Tour 9630 coming to the US carriers without a camera.  It looks like Sprint is pushing it on their site as an available item, which we didn’t even realize before.  As for the price, it doesn’t make it cheaper even though it has no camera.  The BlackBerry Tour 9630 is available via Sprint for $199.99.  Head over to Sprint.com to check out details.

The BlackBerry Bold 9000 just got an official OS update today.  After seeing the previous 4.6.0.297 get pulled by AT&T, many folks who didn’t catch that wave were quite disappointed.  Just released is OS 4.6.0.301 for carrier AVEA.  If you decide to download this OS, make sure you delete  the “vendor” file from C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader.  After that, enjoy installing your new OS.

The Invisible Shield is the best way to protect your phone from scratches, especially if you hate holsters and cases.  Just as it is displayed in the picture, the Invisible Shield goes right over your BlackBerry in every direction to protect the full surfaces.  Recently launched was the BlackBerry Curve 8520 Invisible Shield which as you can see was engineered perfectly.  Just as a quick recap, the Invisible Shield originates from a clear, thin, and very durable military film that was originally made to protect US military helicopter blades from high speed damage.  In 2005, it started getting supplied for cellular phones.  For only $24.95, you can have the Invisible Shield on your BlackBerry Curve 8520, or any other BlackBerry device you have in mind.  That includes a screen cover and all around protection shield as pictured above.
