Finally we got to see something extraordinary coming our way (Blackberry fans, users, and addicts). The new up-coming Blackberry Browser is a real improvement from what we have now a days and will make a lot of people stop looking around for other devices or even stop them from carrying 2 phones at the same time. We have some screenshots from the browsers on the new iPhone 4 and the HTC Sense (Android) when we put them to the test. Take a look at the the video here and the results from the other 2 phones and let the fight begin!

Here we have the video of the Browser on the new Blackberry 9800 (Slider) in action:

Now compare that to these screenshots from the iPhone4 (iOS4):

And the HTC Droid Incredible (Android 2.1):

If you want to test it out on your phone here are the links to the 3 tests we performed:

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Hey guys, I know everyone looking forward to seeing some more action of the new Webkit browser and my buddy is working on it, so stay tuned! But I do have a little bit of new information, not long ago RIM filed a new patent application, which you can find here. Now I don’t understand all of this so I had a buddy help break it down for me and this is how he explained it. When browsing a website with javascript or css (style sheets) it wont be displayed until these are loaded completely. RIM’s patent basically looks to make those files load earlier so the site can be displayed quicker.

Here’s a quote from their patent application:

“Therefore, there is a need for a method and system whereby a first device (e.g. a wireless handheld device or mobile station) may send a request to a second device (e.g. a wireless gateway server or other server) for response data having a higher priority than response data for an earlier request which is still transferring to the first device from the second device.”

Now heres some website logs I was sent, my friend removed a couple things as to not give anything away.

206.xx.xxx.xxx – - “GET / HTTP/1.0″ 200 8944 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (BlackBerry; U; BlackBerry 9800; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.0.91 Mobile Safari/534.1+”
68.xx.xxx.xxx – - “GET /xxx.css HTTP/1.0″ 200 6851 “http://www.xxx.com/” “Mozilla/5.0 (BlackBerry; U; BlackBerry 9800; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.0.91 Mobile Safari/534.1+”
68.xx.xxx.xxx – - “GET /xxx.css HTTP/1.0″ 200 2643 “http://www.xxx.com/” “Mozilla/5.0 (BlackBerry; U; BlackBerry 9800; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.0.91 Mobile Safari/534.1+”
68.xx.xxx.xxx – - “GET /xxx.js HTTP/1.0″ 200 10721 “http://www.xxx.com/” “Mozilla/5.0 (BlackBerry; U; BlackBerry 9800; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.0.91 Mobile Safari/534.1+”
206.xx.xxx.xxx – - “GET /xxx.jpg HTTP/1.0″ 200 2059 “http://www.xxx.com/” “Mozilla/5.0 (BlackBerry; U; BlackBerry 9800; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.0.91 Mobile Safari/534.1+”
206.xx.xxx.xxx – - “GET /xxx.jpg HTTP/1.0″ 200 678 “http://www.xxx.com/” “Mozilla/5.0 (BlackBerry; U; BlackBerry 9800; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.0.91 Mobile Safari/534.1+”

So we see a couple interesting things here, first the browser identifies itself as “AppleWebKit”, I’m sure RIM will change that, and we also see that javascript and CSS files are being loaded from a different server. Both IP addresses are blackberry.net. Remember that “second device” RIM says in their patent application, well it looks like its already been implemented in their new browser. So what does all this mean to us? Well, from what I’m told more complex websites will load faster than the competition.

So that’s what I have for you for now, but we also have some very cool stuff coming up that will make Android and iPhone users jealous about our new/upcoming Blackberry Browser! Stay tuned for that one too. Before I go I want to thank my friend who sent me this and my 9800 source, “Terrible Bean”, for all the cool info he’s been sending over our way!

Please do me a huge favor and stay cool for me

As I promised you guys today we are gonna have 3 phone leaks, and I have to start by numbers (from lower to higher), which means the first one to appear today on the website is the newly redesigned Blackberry 9300 also known as Blackberry Curve.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it for you guys, I also picked the 9300 to be the first leak of the day simply because its the “least” interesting one for all of you, even though I must admit that I do really appreciate the simplicity and how easy it is to use a Curve as your every day phone. From the pictures below the first thing you’ll notice is the new “metallic purple” color around the phone, which is very vibrant, and also that its already T-Mobile branded. The newly redesigned Blackberry 9300 isn’t running on OS v6.0, but it does have a 6.0 platform. Along with the new design we were not given more flash memory on this badboy, which is still at 256MB here for your OS and apps and you can also ad an SD card for all of your music, photo, and video needs. The phone has also been spotted in many different colors/flavors for those who are all business on the front and party on the back.

The person who was nice enough to send me these pictures will also have a nice video done for all of you guys (salomondrin quality), but I will post that tomorrow. I’m gonna leave you with 4 pics of the new Blackberry Curve with the promise of its video tomorrow, and knowing that today we will have 2 other videos coming up on the site of 2 other devices, so stay tuned and sexy for me, ok?

Here we go again, getting excited about a phone that probably won’t come out until next year. Yes, I’m talking about the Storm 3. A couple of my sources have been talking to me lately about the new Storm 3, and I gotta tell you guys it sounds FREAKING AWESOME!! Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of the Storm 2, but from what I’ve heard so far about the third version of the Storm… I think I’m in love already.

Here are some Storm 3 specs and info that I’ve heard so far repeatedly from my sources:

1. Its being tested by a very limited team (preventing leaks).
2. The phone’s shell is still the Storm 2′s shell with different guts though (To make it hard to identify if the phone is lost or photographed).
3. It does have a 1ghz processor.
4. 8 GB internal memory.
5. 512MB flash memory was what they saw first, but apparently they are now playing with these test phones and have over 1GB of flash memory.
6. It won’t run on OS 6.0. Its gonna be running on an OS of its own. <– Really exciting
7. The phone does have the ability to run widgets and you can personalize it A LOT.
8. 5 MP camera still on it as off now, but like we saw on the 9670, this can change.
9. The screen will be something new we haven’t seen yet (new input mechanism) ,but it won’t work like the Storm 2. Yes, it will have SURE-PRESS, but I’m not sure how they are archiving it this time.
10. Its gonna be Verizon’s 1st or 2nd LTE phone. They aren’t sure if the Android phone will be first or the Storm at this point.

The reason why RIM doesn’t want this phone to leak, or are being more careful about it, is because it would confirm that Verizon will be launching their LTE network (which by the way is already set, but just running tests on as off these days) and its somehow a liability for them.

Again, and as you know, some things could/will change but those are the specs as off today.

And as I promised guys, we have a winner!!!! I am so very sorry for the delay though, I had to fly down to Mexico on Monday and then when I got back I got food poisoning from something I ate in Mexico, so you could only imagine. LOL
