ColorWare presents a choice of several new colors for RIM Blackberry Curve , Pearl , and 8800 handsets that will be available starting December 31, 2007.

The company used X2 Coating technology, which is basically a scratch resistant liquid plastic covering.

It protects the phone from scratches and ultra-violet rays, which can damage the color.

Here's a new RIM Blackberry concept, a phone with an angular keypad, which, according to the company, should make things easier for users.

The same design will also be used for touch-sensitive keypads of future Blackberry models. Apart from that, Blackberrys will also come with LG Shine-like scrollers.

RIM plans to launch soon the new BlackBerry 9000, a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset featuring a 480 x 320 resolution screen, QWERTY keyboard, 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi connectivity, and an updated OS.

It should be released sometime between January and April 2008.

Stay tuned for more details.

It looks like T-Mobile is planning to release the successor to the recently launched Blackberry Pearl 8100.

The upcoming device is called 8120, and will probably be launched on February 18.

Maybe this way T-Mobile decided to get rid of the superfluous supply of 8100 devices before the release of a more advanced model.

RIM is ready to release its Blackberry 8700 in China by the end of this month.

China Mobile has already ordered 10,000 handsets from TCL Communications, the Chinese Blackberry manufacturer.

The carrier will offer the device with two available plans: for RMB 398 ($54), and for RMB 598 ($81).

RIM announced that its BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smartphone will be available in Singapore this month.

Just to remind you the features, the device comes with a microSD/SDHC memory card slot, built-in Wi-Fi, and a 2Mpix digicam with 5x digital zoom and video capture capability (240x180 or 176x144 screen resolutions).

BlackBery has been finally launched in Russia, and will be available in Q1 2008 from MTS and Vimpelcom.

It has recently been approved by the FSB (former KGB) for a one year term. However, the process of approval was ongoing and took several years. FSB required RIM to provide the codes used to encrypt traffic and did not allow launching the BlackBerry in Russia until both sides have found a compromise.

RIM's upcoming BlackBerry 8110 Pearl is the latest device in this line-up.

Like the 8130 model it will come with an integrated GPS receiver, and will probably support 3G networks. It should be available in early 2008, which means after Christmas, unfortunately. We know almost nothing about the device right now, but we'll keep you informed of any developments.

Alltel announced it will soon release the BlackBerry 8130.

The smartphone should be available just in time for the holiday season. Its features include an integrated GPS receiver, a 2Mpix camera, media player, Bluetooth connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone jack, voice recognition, trackball navigation, SureType keyboard and an external SDHC card slot.

FCC has unveiled some info about the new BlackBerry 8120.

The device is a GSM/EDGE version of the 8130 model, and has almost the same features as the previous including GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, stereo Bluetooth, external microSD slot, and updated mail client.

In addition, the 8120 also comes with 802.
