RIM officially announced the BlackBerry Bold 9700 today and word is that the device will be available on AT&T and T-Mobile USA for $199 after $100 mail-in rebate. If you’re keeping track, this means that the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be cheaper than its predecessor at launch date.

Screw the white BlackBerry Bold, Engadget is reporting that the update to the Bold, the BlackBerry Bold 2 (9700), will be coming out for AT&T and T-Mobile on October 21st.
I now have 3 choices:
I see pros and cons for all three choices and to narrow things down, I am keeping it simple.

It’s here! It’s here! The update to the BlackBerry Curve, previously codenamed “Javelin” and now officially named the Curve 8900, will be on sale starting early February (some say as early as February 11th or 18th). For those who don’t know, the quickest description of this smartphone is that it is basically a BlackBerry Bold in smaller dimensions and without 3G. However, I’ve read that the EDGE connection on the Curve 8900 will actually be a bit faster than standard EDGE on other networks, so if you’re worried about speed, you should be alright for now.
Whee! I know a bunch of people who are waiting for this, so I’ll be excited for them to get it too!

A couple of months ago, I posted a photo of the sign that was hidden behind the old Ranch 1 restaurant at the corner of 28th Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan. It was a beautiful aged sign for a place called the Hickory House Coffee Shop. The signage was intact and exposed after Ranch 1 moved out of the location, leaving the corner lot empty for several months.
Just recently, a T-Mobile store has opened up in that location and the new T-Mobile sign is less than aesthetically pleasing. I mean, I guess it really doesn’t matter much since nothing on this block matches anything else. But compared to the old Hickory House signage, this T-Mobile sign just seems so…bland. There you have it though, proof that the neighborhood is moving on up.
