The wait is over, and you can now officially pick up your white BlackBerry Bold 9700 at any T-Mobile retail store or even order online through their website.  The price is $99.99 with a two-year contract (after the rebate), making it affordable and feasible for many customers to purchase.  Supplies are limited in retail stores, and we already received the heads up that select locations are running out of them quite quick.  According to statistics in New Jersey, there’s about 30-35% of customers buying the white Bold 9700 today without a contract, paying full price for the device.  So who’s next in line for a white BlackBerry Bold 9700? Could AT&T pick this up?

We just got the world from mblware that they are looking for some application testers! So our first pit stop is to our readers as you all have tested out many beta apps we put out here.  We’re not told what the application is exactly, and all beta testers are expected to keep the info confidential until it is officially publicly released.  For all those interested in trying out this new application, head over to beta.mblware.com and you will be contacted by the end of the month according to them.

So the rumor we received was on point and the BlackBerry Bold 9650 OS 5.0.0.699 has officially launched today from Sprint.  We actually didn’t follow up with the rumor as we were too overwhelmed with the Kepler 9300 leaked OS today.  In reality this Bold 9650 OS has been available for a few hours now.  Hit the link below to grab it today from Sprint.

Kepler? This seems to be the new codename for this device, and we’re hoping it’s not the final.  Our buddies over at BBLeaks gave us the heads up about the BlackBerry Kepler 9300 OS 5.0.0.705 being spotted online for download.  We really don’t know what this device looks like, some are guessing that this could be the 3G version of the 8520 that T-Mobile has been talking about, while others feel it’s going to have a whole new look to it.  So what did we learn about the 9300 so far? It will be rockin’ 3G along with WiFi, and is said to be for GSM carriers who already have the 8520 at the moment which lacks 3G.  We saw the UAFProf document showing 9300 in the coding along with other specs in there.  This is the first time we do see the name Kepler, and again we’re hoping it’s temporary.  So if you are one of the lucky holders of this device that hasn’t released yet, use the link below to download 5.0.0.705

So you can view your photos as thumbnails on your BlackBerry, but not videos? That’s not right! Here’s an attribute I never thought of myself, and didn’t realize up until now how handy it would be.  Good Video Browser is a straight forward application that allows you to view all your videos as thumbnails and play them at the press of a button.  What more do you want?

From my own experience, I found that it was a bit laggy as I have one too many videos.  After the first load, the thumbnails would load faster.

Features:

• Intuitive, convenient browsing of all your videos
• Videos are automatically found and added to the gallery
• Share videos via email
• Delete unwanted videos

Good Video Browser is $4.95 at the PocketBerry Store.  Use the link below to check it out today.

Could it be? It’s still a possibility that only T-Mobile in Europe will have the BlackBerry Pearl 3G, and the US to remain without it.  We all know that the BlackBerry Storm 2 did release for T-Mobile UK and not for the US.  At WES, we did hear the rumor from the T-Mobile guys about the Pearl 3G has been rejected by them and they will not be carrying it.  Instead, a 3G version of the 8520 is expected to release, according to the rumor.  In my mind, I still see a possibility for T-Mobile in the US to get it, but I don’t want to soup anyone up who happens to be waiting for it to launch at the moment.  It’s really disappointing to see May end with no US launch for any carrier yet.  Quite discouraging if you ask me.  So T-Mobile Europe has OS 5.0.0.689 for the BlackBerry Pearl 9105 3G listed.  You must have an active account with user name and password to download it today.

Ehab let me know that a new video for the Bold 9800 was floating around the web and I had to check it out.This is the first clear video we see of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider so far.  Oh yes, we forgot to mention that it is AT&T branded as well.  Many folks have been doubting an AT&T launch but it is coming, and it looks like sooner than many think.  Should we still count on a June launch?

At a glance of OS 6.0 live in action, I’m not so impressed.  For one thing, it’s not as snappy as we saw it at the WES 2010 demonstration, which we weren’t expecting to begin with. RIM’s continuous conflict seems to be portrait to landscape mode lagging.  What do you guys make of the BlackBerry Bold 9800? Worth switching to or waiting for the next innovative product?
