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.

RIM and O2 have released the new BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smartphone in the UK.

The device has the same sleek and stylish design as the previous versions and is available in a new Blue finish. Some of its main features include:

• New enhanced UI;
• 2Mpix photo/video camera with 5x zoom, capable of recording videos at 240x180 or 176x144 pixel resolutions;
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.

Verizon Wireless started offering the CDMA version of the Blackberry Pearl smartphone, which is the company's first ever CDMA handset.

Features of the Pearl include support for dual-band EVDO (800/1900 MHz) network, integration with up to 10 e-mail accounts, a 2Mpix camera, and a 240x260 resolution screen.

AT&T started offering the new BlackBerry Curve 8310, an upgraded version of the previous 8300 Curve.

The main difference between them is that the new model comes with GPS receiver and navigation applications. Other features are similar to the 8300 and include stereo Bluetooth, a 3.

Here is a spy photo of the BlackBerry 8310 in two new colors, Crimson and Titanium.

Both devices will be available later this week from AT&T.

Apart from that, there's no more information available.

Alltel subscribers will soon be able to get their hands on several new handsets in the nearest future.

And now by order: the first is Palm Treo 755p smartphone, not the best option to choose; next is the Blackberry Pearl 8130, which will launch along with the 755p; and the last smartphone is the one named UTStarcom 6850, probably a re-branded version of the HTC Mogul.

RIM has just launched its BlackBerry 8120 in Spain.

The smartphone is now available from Telefonica and comes with the following features: Wi-Fi connectivity, 2Mpix photo/video camera, microSD slot, renewed user interface, media player, 3.5mm headset jack, and more.

You can purchase the 8120 in any Telefonica retail store.
