“Microsoft and Research in Motion announced Monday that consumer e-mail and instant messaging services from Microsoft would be available on BlackBerry mobile devices later this summer. The move demonstrates both that BlackBerrys aren’t just for business messaging anymore and that Microsoft isn’t depending only on Windows Mobile for its mobile strategy.” Read the article as reported on Information Week.
Sounds like a win-win for both Microsoft and Blackberry…

Not sure if this is fact of fiction. Given that it’s written on a whole bunch of blogs, I would say it’s probably about 75% true. Regardless, the rumor is that Blackberry is finally coming out with a touchscreen phone!
As reported here, the Blackberry 9500, also known as the Blackberry Thunder, is going to be exclusive on Verizon (in the US at least) for once! I guess it’s only fair. Blackberry did announce yesterday that they are releasing the Blackberry 9000, or Blackberry Bold, on the AT&T network.
Verizon Thunder? That sounds like a pretty good Verizon phone name. Kind of fit in with the Verizon Voyager or the Verizon Chocolate. Whether or not this can truly fight with the iPhone remains to be seen, but I do know that Blackberry makes some nice phones. My Verizon friends, your dream might soon become a reality!

Blackberry announced today that they are coming out with a new model that will be comparable to the Apple iPhone. The new model, known as the Blackberry Bold, has the same resolution as the iPhone and twice the screen resolution as the Blackberry Curve. It will also have more internal memory, WiFi capability, and a bunch of other stuff too. Read the article on CNN.
It sure sounds cool. I personally like the qwerty keyboards a lot more anyway. Not sure how much this is going to be though.
