It seems like a bad time for carriers to start picking up BlackBerry devices since RIM is going to be launching new devices soon.  I guess you can’t really go wrong with devices like the BlackBerry Curve 3G which is a basic (starter edition in my opinion) device at an affordable low price.  MTS has announced they are launching the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 on March 31st, and yes it will have BlackBerry 6 preloaded out of the box.

Earlier today, we let you know about Virgin Mobile launching OS 6.0.0.448 for the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300, and now comes a leak.  This is the same version the Bold 9780 leak we posted up before – 6.0.0.461.  Again, it’s a leak so download and install at your own risk.  If you decide to download it, let us know about any changes you find.

Not a big deal to us anymore since carriers all over have put out official OS 6.0 updates for both the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300, but there’s still a whole crowd who waits for the official to update.  Jon got the word from a T-Mobile BlackBerry representative which claimed that T-Mobile is working on bringing an official 6.0 release for both devices within the next 30 days.  All I have to say is that it’s about time.  Let’s hope they stick to it, and do launch it in that timely fashion.

We already saw this version go official with Three UK, but figured we’d let you know about Wind Mobile putting it out for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300.  The update is available in Desktop Manager for those on Wind currently and want to update.

Here’s a double from Vodafone today.  The previous official builds of BlackBerry 6 OS weren’t all that and some users were complaining about bugs, but it looks like Vodafone has stepped up and put out 6.0.0.448 for both the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300.  Click the links below to download them!

For those of you who haven’t received the push wireless update on your Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9650 or Curve 3G 9330, then you can go ahead and manually download it from Verizon.  This is also great for those running leaked OS versions and cannot upgrade wirelessly any way.  Click the link below to get redirected to Verizon’s OS download page

So it’s official! We got the word from RIM that Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9650 and BlackBerry Curve 3G 9330 users will be getting BlackBerry 6 OS updates tonight at 8PM!  Some users have reported that the updates are starting to appear as wireless updates already but not everyone has it.  To continue checking for a wireless update, head over to Options, Advanced Options, then select Wireless Update.  Bold 9650 users can click here for desktop support and Curve 3G users here.  Best of luck to everyone and let us know how you like BlackBerry 6 OS!

It’s been a while since we let you know about any PocketBerry Phone Store promotions, but it looks like the Curve 3G gets some spotlight today.  If you were looking into this device over at T-Mobile, you should check it out here since it’s free for both new line activations and upgrades.  The BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 for T-Mobile comes in two colors – graphite gray and violet.  If you’re not so into the Curve 3G, check out other promotions we have including the BlackBerry Bold 9780 for only $99 and only $49.99 for upgrades.
