It’s been a while since we let you know about new BlackBerry devices hitting our phone store, especially since there hasn’t been much action when it comes to new devices launching in a very long time.  Currently at the PocketBerry Phone Store, we are offering the BlackBerry Bold 9930 for both Verizon and Sprint for $199 on a two year contract.  No need to fill out rebate forms to get anything back – pay the bottom line price from the get go and be worry free.

Whether you’re opening a new contract or upgrading, the price remains the same.  Check out the BlackBerry Bold 9930 using the links below.

Over the weekend, we let you know that Verizon was packing the BlackBerry Bold 9930 for an early launch date of August 15th.  The day has finally come and the carrier has come through with the release date.  The Bold 9930 is offered from Verizon now officially for only $249.99 on a 2 year contract and $509.99 with no strings attached.  You know all about the device by now and this is the first US carrier to launch it surprisingly.  Remember, it’s only available online until the 25th where it’s hitting all stores.

Things have been a bit flakey with Verizon Wireless as no OS 7 devices were officially announced.  Now a screenshot of an inventory system from Verizon has appeared featuring the BlackBerry Bold 9930.  There is no details here but a value of “445.00” next to it.  Launch date is up in the air as well but seeing it in the inventory and CelleBrite system.

A few days ago the BlackBerry Bold 9930 came up with a Verizon splash screen.  Now we see the BlackBerry Torch 9850 come up with Verizon branding on the back of it.  We already knew it was going to arrive in CDMA flavor, but RIM is lacking an official announcement for it.  There’s not much here other than a comparison between the BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860.  It looks like the 9850 will have physical buttons that pop up as we’ve seen in previously leaked images while the 9860 gets capacitive ones like the BlackBerry Storm 2. More images after the jump!

Once upon a time, most leaked photos appeared just like this one.  Luckily we’re already familiar with the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 by now seeing it hands on and numerous video reviews.  The excitement starts when we see the device with carrier branding.  This isn’t the first time we see Verizon pop up.  Last month we saw an online ad showing that a Bold 9930 was in place from Verizon. At BlackBerry World 2011, we saw it with T-Mobile branding after the official announcement.  Now we see it with a Verizon splash screen indicating that yes, it’s coming to big red after all.

The BlackBerry PlayBook should of honestly launched right out of the box with native email, calendar, and contacts support.  With all the negative buzz about that, RIM decided to put that in their roadmap for a future release as the Verizon BlackBerry PlayBook webinar FAQ sheet confirms it.  It says it word for word:

In a future software update for the BlackBerry PlayBook, we will also provide native e-mail, calendar, and contact apps for those customers who prefer to have these apps directly on the tablet.
