AT&T stores begin receiving Torch 9800 T-shirts
We all know the official launch of the 9800 Torch is just around the corner, but what’s a proper launch without a cheesy t-shirt to go with it? A tipster just sent us this shot of the t-shirt that is starting to circulate around AT&T retail stores, telling us that all reps are expected to [...]
Motorola Flipout Now Available From Rogers for $29.99
The strange-looking but incredibly neat Motorola Flipout has arrived at Rogers for $29.99 on a 3-year term. Nothing to say other than that obvious: if you need a keyboard and a compact Android device, this should be a killer phone. While it doesn’t boast the high specs of the latest Android phones to hit the [...]
Same exploit that gave you JailbreakMe lets hackers inject your iPhone with whatever they want
A flaw in the way that Safari processes .PDF files was the reason that Comex was able to release a browser-based Jailbreak. However, the same exploit that allows automatic downloading and running of a PDF file is how hackers may be able to run code on your device without your consent. Masking a malicious PDF [...]
Rogers quietly launches the Blackberry Curve 9300
Barely 24 hours has passed since excited Canadians found out that Rogers will carry the Blackberry Torch 9800, but that didn’t stop Rogers from quietly launching the Curve 3G earlier this morning ahead of schedule. I am interested in the strategy behind this quick launch, because it was only week or so ago that a [...]
Bell Samsung Vibrant launching August 6 for $149.95
This wasn’t unexpected, but the news is here, and it’s officially official. The Samsung Galaxy S variant that we’ve seen floating around the US in T-Mobile bands is now in Canada, and will be priced at a fairly expensive $149.95 on a 3-year term, $499.95 without one. While cheaper than the 16GB iPhone 4 by [...]

Community Forums have just launched with the aim of helping with tech support issues or your wireless device, home phone and internet, as well as cable services.

AT&T BlackBerry Torch Commercial
[link for mobile viewing] RIM is pushing the Torch harder than they have pushed any device in the past. CrackBerry was able to get their hands on a new AT&T Torch commercial which has yet to hit TV screens. Personally, I didn’t find the commercial very enticing. In my opinion, there’s too much focus on [...]
Will the Torch burn out?
Remember those monolinths that AT&T received but were not to be opened? If you had guessed the BB Torch 9800 was inside, you are correct. RIM has been losing market share to Google and Apple recently and they’re banking on the Torch to stop the bleeding. Even though BB6 should bring back the crack, have too many of RIM’s [...]
Froyo Hitting More Devices. Onto the next one!

Now all that’s left is the Droid X and the triumvirate of killer Android smartphones will have the latest and greatest of both [...]
