Rogers to launch the BlackBerry Torch 9800 on September 24th

Now, we at TCG don’t take rumours lightly. We always weigh the value of posting one, and the potential repercussions at posting a bunk one. That being said, one of our anonymous tipsters has sent us pretty convincing proof that Rogers will be getting the BlackBerry Bold 9780 towards the end of this year, namely [...]

Many BlackBerry users in the UK have been wondering what it is going to cost them to buy a Torch 9800 from Vodafone. Well now, with the price sheet above, consumers can get their wallets ready to grab one come mid-September. The plans, which are comparitively a bit high, are available for 18 months and [...]

The Tether team is giving away tons of prizes like t-shirts, polos, hats, stickers and one lucky winner will receive a brand new BlackBerry smartphone! All you have to do is write how much you love Tether on their Facebook wall or shoot them a tweet of the same sort for your chance to win. [...]

Better late than never, right? Just over a month after getting my receptional-y challenged  iPhone 4 (having placed the order like many other Canadians for the free bumper), the glorious email has finally arrived on my device confirming that the bumper is on its way.

For one of the ugliest devices to ever leave the doors of  Waterloo, this device has surely received a lot of attention. From the day is was first leaked (some 3 months ago) it has been at the butt- end of many a joke. At first it was code-named “Oxford”, than many thought it would [...]

And the announcement has come, albeit over twitter. Virgin Mobile (a Bell subsidiary) will release their BlackBerry Torch 9800 on September 24th,  right in line with everyone else.

Just days after being spotted in the upcoming device catalog, the AWS version of the Pearl 9100 3G is finally available for sale in Canada through WIND Mobile. It is very reasonably priced at $320 outright with a $20 rebate, bringing it down to $300. For those of you who love the BlackBerry Bold 9700, but [...]

Even though smartphone and BlackBerry oriented blogs have been providing readers with a wealth of information for the longest time, it still makes sense that RIM does the same. It’s surprising that RIM has not sent out mass emails to make [...]
