Don’t forget that BlackBerry smartphones are great for corporates.  The original BlackBerry didn’t have a camera as it was targeted towards business users who favored email.  Also some corporate environments do not permit phones with cameras inside conferences rooms for security purposes.  Any way, Sprint is launching the BlackBerry Bold 9930 with no camera on September 9th.  It is being priced at $249.99.

The PocketBerry Phone Store is offering the BlackBerry Torch 9850 from Sprint for only $99 on a two year contract.  If you’re upgrading, it’s only $119.99, so either way your saving some money.  The BlackBerry Torch 9850 is an all touchscreen device which RIM refers to as a “multimedia powerhouse” with its high resolution display and let alone the large screen it has.  It has pretty much replaced the Storm series which didn’t do so well in the past with two generations worth.  Here’s the stock specs from the store:

• Sprint’s First Full Touch Screen BlackBerry Smartphone
• Powerful New BlackBerry Operating System- BlackBerry 7 OS
• Documents To Go Lets You Create and Edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Documents

Sprint is the first to come out in announcing the new BlackBerry Curve 9350 which was announced late last night officially from RIM.  The BlackBerry Curve 9350 will be $79.99 at launch on a 2 year contract, making it an affordable OS 7 device.  Some may hate that it’s not touchscreen, but you do get built in NFC, a feature vacant in other OS 7 devices besides the Bold 9900 series.  Check out the full press release.

Sprint has come out the closet and announced the launch of two new BlackBerry devices coming officially on August 21st – the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and Torch 9850.  Verizon launched the Bold 9930 today officially online, with availability in stores on August 25th.  It looks like Sprint will be launching the devices in stores and online on the same date.  As for pricing, the Bold 9930 gets $249 with a 2 year contract and the Torch 9850 for $149 with a $50 mail-in rebate.  Of course the Bold 9930 is the better device as it’s equipped with NFC while the Torch lacks it.

Along with all the great BlackBerry 7 OS device announcements today, Sprint has joined in with their announcement of two new devices they’ll be taking on.  First is the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and the other is the BlackBerry Torch 9850.  Both devices will be coming this fall with no word on an official date just yet.  We’re hoping the BlackBerry PlayBook 4G will be joining the two devices as well! Full press release after the jump!

Some new release dates have surfaced for a few devices headed over to Sprint this season.  We have the BlackBerry Torch 9850, BlackBerry Bold 9930, and BlackBerry Curve 4 which might be a 9350.  According to this spreadsheet spotted over at BriefMobile, the release dates are as follows:

• BlackBerry Bold 9930 – August 21, 2011
• BlackBerry Bold 9930 (No Camera) – August 21, 2011
• BlackBerry Torch 9850 – August 21, 2011
• BlackBerry Curve 4 (9350) – September 9, 2011

Interesting to see the Bold 9930 and Torch 9850 launching on the same day.  Assuming these launch dates are accurate, which device will you go for?

Originally OS 6.0.0.600 was a leaked OS with no carrier attached, and now it looks like carriers are starting to pick it up.  Sprint isn’t the first, but they’ve got it officially available for the BlackBerry Bold 9650.  As far as the leaked builds of .600 go, it seems to work a lot more stable than other builds. So if you have a 9650 on hand, give it a try.
