The Blackberry Torch 9800 is the first device to get the glorious Blackberry 6 OS, and according to the latest Blackberry Torch review, we have concluded that the Blackberry Torch is indeed the Best Blackberry available today. However, some people around the internet are complaining about how the Blackberry Torch stack up against the competitor (iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC EVO 4G, etc). You can see our Blackberry Torch vs iPhone 4 and Blackberry Torch vs Samsung Galaxy S comparison.

The Blackberry Bold 9700 is currently the next best thing you got after the Blackberry Torch 9800. The Bold 9700 successor (BB 9780) isn’t out yet; and we have to admit that the Blackberry Bold 9700 is quite popular and is still loved by many Blackberry fans.

The latest rumors lurking over at the internet are saying that the Wind Mobile is starting to offers Blackberry Bold 9700 for an estimated price of $320. We still have no confirmation about the Wind Mobile Blackberry Bold 9700 release date yet.

The Blackberry Bold 9700 has several nice features, which include 256 MB flash memory, 3.2 Megapixel camera with flash, autofocus and image stabilization, and GPS and WiFi. The latest information said that RIM is planning to update the Bold 9700 OS to Blackberry 6 OS; which will surely improve the performance. We have an interesting Bold 9700 review for you to read. We have also compiled a Blackberry Torch vs Bold 9700 comparison

In addition to this Blackberry Bold 9700 news, we also heard that Wind Mobile is also planning to release the Blackberry Pearl 3G. But there is still no further information about the Pearl 3G’s release date and price.

So T-Mobile is about to release the Blackberry Curve 3G. That is something we’ve heard for a couple of weeks now. We have also heard about the rumor on the Blackberry Curve 3G; but there was no confirmation either.

But the waiting is soon to be over. T-Mobile has confirmed the Blackberry Curve 3G release date via Facebook today. Not only that, they also revealed the Blackberry Curve 3G price plans. Below is the screenshot from the Facebook page of T-Mobile:

Anyway, as you can see from the picture above, T-Mobile will release the Blackberry Curve 3G to the market starting from September 8; and the Curve 3G price will be $79.99 with a 2 year contract.

According to the latest information, although the Blackberry Curve 3G will be able to support Blackberry 6; the device will come with the previous OS… But wouldn’t it be nice if the Blackberry Curve 3G comes with the Blackberry 6?

There is some leaked picture of the Blackberry Bold 9780 over at the internet, somewhat suggesting that AT&T will release the Blackberry Bold 9780. As you can see from the first picture below, there is an obvious AT&T branding on the Blackberry Bold 9780 screen.
