This Week In BlackBerry 4/11-4/17
Jul 18th
BlackBerry leaks have been very light this week, but RIM has really picked up the slack with their official presence. The new BlackBerry 6 teaser video, BBM commercials and RIM’s Annual General Meeting definitely kept us entertained throughout the week.
Just when everything was calm again, Steve Jobs brought BlackBerry news back to life by attempting to pull RIM into Apple’s faulty antenna situation. Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie usually aren’t the type to respond to other Smartphone companies, but in this case, they felt it was necessary to put Steve Jobs in his place. Antennagate is so newsworthy, even people who normally don’t follow Smartphone news were talking about it and passing phones around, attempting to ‘death grip’. Hit the jump to see what you may have missed this week in BlackBerry.

Bolt Browser updated to v2.11 fix a major bug!
Jul 15th
Bolt has been updated from v2.1 to v2.11. There are no new features in this release but Bitstream has fixed a bug that was annoying the heck out of me. thankfully, Bolt is now consistently fast again. I’m not sure what the Twitter bug was, being that I use apps for Twitter, as I’m assuming most people do. Anyway, see Bitstream’s statement below.
Today Bitstream is releasing a new update of the BOLT mobile browser: version 2.11. The 2.11 release includes important updates that address server response times which eliminates the problem on some websites that has caused BOLT to hang at 20 percent on the progress bar, as well as improves Twitter use. Although there are no new features in this release, Bitstream strongly recommends all users update to this new version for an improved mobile browsing experience.
If you are currently using Bolt, you should be prompted to upgrade upon opening the app. Otherwise you can pick up Bolt OTA here.
