BlackBerry Torch 9800 & Curve 3G ~ Available

when BlackBerry new revolutionary OS 6 was announced, my current Storm 2 device couldn't or will not be getting the update... zzzz... reason behind it was that my device memory was too low to have it running... the new OS 6 required at least 512MB of RAM to run while mine only sport a mere 256MB... to add things worst is that Storm 2 device is barely 1 year old since it was announced by RIM... so somehow this device become obsolete in less than a year...

in come a new touch screen device with a slide down keyboard by RIM to couple it with the new OS 6... codename BlackBerry Torch 9800 and it's exclusively with AT&T at the moment... last week when i was visiting Maxis website, i saw the advert that they are bringing in the BlackBerry Torch and i was a bit surprised as i was thinking that Celcom will be the first to bring it in since their relationship with RIM is stronger when it comes to BlackBerry marketing in Malaysia...


then yesterday when i was visiting Celcom website, i saw it finally... BlackBerry Torch 9800 will be here in Malaysia first with Celcom hahaha... that's what advertised on their website... hahahaha... and then when i navigate over to Maxis site, there isn't any trace of the BlackBerry Torch 9800 advert anymore hahahaha... does this really means that Celcom have won the exclusive deal over Maxis???... i do think so hahahaha...


along with the Torch 9800, there is also another device announced by RIM along with the OS 6 which is the new Curve 3G which is OS 6 ready device sigh*** and it's already available on Celcom and Maxis... why is it OS 6 ready???... coz they released it with OS 5 and then later will released the upgrade ROM for OS 6... but my sad Storm 2 will/may not ever kiss the OS 6...

BlackBerry 6 Announced ~ Not Coming to Storm II :(

after so much hyped that RIM has brought to the world of BlackBerry users, finally on Aug 3rd they have officially announced the BlackBerry 6 availability and a new device which sport it... the BlackBerry Torch, a device which is very similar to Storm family but with a slide down keyboard...


that's a good news indeed but then i guess RIM has backfired themselves when they left out Storm users from the BlackBerry 6 upgrade path... and this indeed is a very bad move... i'm actually very sad when it comes to reality that my beloved Storm II will not get the new refreshed BlackBerry 6 OS... sigh***

i guess Android is knocking hard on my door and Samsung Galaxy S maybe my first Android phone... hahahaha... shame on you RIM!... :( below is the direct qoute from Mike...
BlackBerry 6 will debut on the new BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone (announced today) available from AT&T on August 12 and it is also designed to run on select BlackBerry smartphones already in market. Subject to carrier certifications in the months ahead, the new OS is expected to be available for the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650 and BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G, as well as future BlackBerry smartphones.

Antenna Meter for BlackBerry ~ Xtreme Labs


i found this apps posted to Crackberry.com website and it's created by Xtreme Labs as a result from the iPhone 4 Antennagate debacle... so i downloaded the app and tried to choke my Storm 2 but then the signal doesn't want to move... even if it does move, it will climb up back after 1-2 seconds... hahaha...
