BlackBerry Tour hands-on, wild sibling confrontation with Curve and Bold
June 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment
While some interesting things may or might not be happening under the hood, the freshly announced BlackBerry Tour for Verizon and Sprint (pictured in Verizon garb on the left) is hardly a departure on the surface. It mostly appears to be a minor modification to the Curve (right), though it does seem inexplicably thicker. The Bold seems positively overwrought in comparison.

You might have read the little disagreement that Vodafone and Telecom New Zealand had over the XT network that was supposed to be launched on Might 13. Well, it looks like Telecom New Zealand has succumbed to the pressure and put off the launch until the end of the month as it resolved “technical issues” that might interfere with Vodafone’s network. If it works out fine, then well and good. Permalink: Telecom New Zealand Relents from Uberphones | Good deals | Hot: BlackBerry Storm Via [uberphones] Share... [Read the full story]

Howard Stern Not Available on Sirius iPhone App
June 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Sorry, iPhone users, but the ‘King of All Media’ won’t be available on Sirius XM’s new iPhone app, released last week. You’ll have to get your fill of fart jokes and conversations with naked women somewhere else (may we suggest the Playboy channel for the latter). According to Daily Finance, the absence of Howard Stern’s show is due to, in his words, a “contract rights issue.” Monday, fans called into Stern’s show demanding an explanation. Stern debunked some claims... [Read the full story]
