*Thomas Update: I was in the middle of posting this news when Steve beat me to it haha. You’re getting fast in your old age. As we reported last week, the rumored date for release was Feb. 18th. This confirmed official date is a little more to our liking . Just wanted to put [...]
Ever wonder why you get less bars on your 2G BlackBerry (all except the Bold on AT&T) then you did before?

Okay, so the other side of the Rogers/Fido future lineup presentation is obviously Rogers new jazz. What we have makes us jealous all over again even though we have versions of both phones here in the US. First we have a 3G Storm that will be making its way to the lineup which is awesome. [...]
