Storm 2 Otterbox

About a month ago, we let you know that the BlackBerry Storm 2 OtterBox cases were coming soon.  Today, we announce the availability of all three editions including the Defender, Commuter, and Impact series.  Prices start as low at $19.99.  If you haven’t had an OtterBox yet, then you need to go ahead and make your move!  If you’ve already equipped your Berry in the past with one, then you know it’s well worth it, and definitely need to get one for your BlackBerry Storm 2.

This is clearly just for fun.  There is no point to this application whatsoever.  What will ShaqBerry do for you? It’ll put Shaq’s over-sized head on your BlackBerry background when dialing a number.  This is app is absolutely free, as we couldn’t imagine a reasonable price set for this.  So if you’re looking for some laughs and fun with Shaq, download your copy of ShaqBerry!

It’s been an amazing year for RIM as they released various devices including the BlackBerry Storm 2, Bold 9700 and Tour 9630.  A few months back we told you about the QWERTY device with touch screen that was expected to release some time next year.  It looks like those rumors and details are starting to come up again as we get closer to the end of 2009.  The BlackBerry will supposedly be a QWERTY slider to compete with devices by Nokia and HTC.

Back in September, we were told this BlackBerry 9900 was codenamed “Blackhawk.” According to the rumors, the device is currently in a prototype stage at the moment, with best hopes of a release at some point in 2010.  Given that it is a prototype, I won’t hold my breath as it probably will launch right before the end of 2010.

bb bold 9700 att

There’s just too many great things about this device.  Its incredible features outweigh any flaws the device has all across the board.  Usually when purchasing a BlackBerry, there is always a missing link, whether it be no WiFi, no GPS, or no 3G.  Perhaps you have an older device that runs very sluggish due to the lack of memory available.  The BlackBerry Bold 9700 has been designed uniquely to cater to the consumer in every way you can imagine.  It rocks the best of both worlds: WiFi, GPS, 3G, Hi-Def screen, incredible battery life, sleek and solid design, great camera, and much more.  If you’re currently with T-Mobile, you can feel free to pick up your device now at any store.  AT&T customers will have to wait til November 22nd, unless you are a business premier customer.

blackberry_9550

The BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 has made its way to Telus.  To take all the confusion away, this device is a CDMA, and not GSM like the BlackBerry Bold 9700 being offered.  As for pricing, you can grab one with no contract for $599.99.  For a one year you’ll save 50 bucks getting it at $549.99, $499.99 with a two year, and a nice $199.99 with a three year contract.  Which will you commit to signing up with to get the Storm 2?
