It is almost easier to list what device OS has not been updated over the weekend. I am not sure if all these pre-OS 5.0 updates are a good sign for 5.0 coming soon but hopefully they are just clearing out the pipeline.
BlackBerry 8900 Curve OS 4.6.1.310 for the 8900 from AVEA
BlackBerry 8100, 8120, 8320, [...]
The 8230 is right on schedule. David let me know that it is now available on Verizon’s website. The price is $79.99 after a $70 online discount. I cannot see the Buy One Get One promotion anymore so I guess that is gone… Sad.
Check it out at this link and let me know if [...]
I just heard from one of our reliable secret agents that U.S. Cellular is getting the 8230 Pearl Flip on Sunday. This is coming right before Verizon’s release on Friday June 19th. These will be the next two carriers in the US to carry the device since Alltel got it but Alltel is slowly fading [...]
RIM let me know that Verizon has announced the upcoming release of the 8230 Pearl Flip. This was a long time coming and I am glad to see that it will finally be coming out June 19th. The sad part is that the price will be $129.99 after a $70 mail in rebate which [...]
I just woke up bleary eyed to another email from Secret Agent 711 who just put up OS 4.6.0.278 for the 8220 Pearl Flip. The 8220 does not see that many OS leaks so this may be worth a go if you have one.

I had seen the iVista theme around and quite fancied its interesting design but I knew The Z Man (aka Zach) was making some interesting updates to it, so I was happy when he had it ready for me to do a review. Enter iVista2…available for a variety of devices such as the; 81xx, 83xx, [...]
This whole Alltel/Verizon thing has me confused. Verizon had to divest 91 markets that Alltel served when they purchased Alltel. It looks like Alltel is still going strong and showing up Verizon by releasing the 8230 before them. Alltel announced this before but the device is now actually available for purchase on www.shopalltel.com and at [...]
It was me who hit up Peter from BPlay this time wondering what he had been up to in new themes. Seems that they have been busy taking many of their popular existing themes and porting them over for the newer BlackBerry devices. Yet, in the mix, he had time to show us ladies some [...]
Terry let me know that our good friend Kevin spotted OS 4.6.0.259 for the 8220 Pearl Flip floating around the Interweb. Its not often that SureType users get a leaked OS.

Riya over at BlackLightThemes sent me in a few of her more recent themes and this one caught my eye. With a 2009 remake movie of Star Trek soon to be out, I thought ‘Trekkies’ out there (with Pearl Flips) might appreciate this theme. I don’t have the Flip so I’m not able to test [...]
Stefano let me know that CNN.cn has posted a disassembly video for the 8220 Pearl Flip. Not sure how much of a demand there is for this but it is a great resource if you are trying to take yours apart to service it.
Check the video out at this link or below:
DaveH let me know that TELUS is showing off the new 8230 Pearl Flip on their homepage even though they have yet to release it. I guess this means it is coming real soon. On the other hand, why release the pink version right after Valentine’s Day…?
Check it out at www.telusmobility.com. Keep your [...]
Cmangum at Papa Mags BB Themes sent me a theme to check out. This one is definitely for the ladies! If you’ve got the Pearl Flip & you are looking for something colorful & unique, this is for you! I absolutely love the color scheme he has used – purple, green, pink, & black look [...]
It looks like Bell in Canada was the first out the door wit the CDMA 8230 Pearl Flip. I thought Verizon had a chance of putting it out first but I guess they missed the boat. Just to keep in mind the 8230 has GPS integrated instead of Wi-Fi like the 8220.
The Bell 8230 [...]
McKay from BPlay sent this one in to me last week, but I’ve been away so am just getting to it now. I did, however, have a chance to play around with this theme and I can say that Beachfront on my Bold is pretty darn cool. The main screen features this sharp photographic image [...]
I hadn’t seen any new themes from theme designer Brandy (Artistic-Me.Com) in a while so I was delighted when she emailed me about ‘Damask‘. Damask reminds me of fancy French style parlors that you find in those huge, old mansions. The use of wood elements help with the visual quite nicely and the cream colored [...]
It’s late as I write this and I really need to sleep as I am heading out of town first thing (and I mean first thing) in the morning. However, I couldn’t resist giving a test run of Hedone Design’s latest theme. All I can say is: BlackBerry lovers who are Mac fans, UNITE! Hedone [...]
BlackBerryInsider over at CrackBerry Forums posted an image of his new Verizon 8230 Pearl Flip for all to see. Nothing crazy new to see here other than a silver version of the Black/Red 8220 Flip we have seen until now. Not sure if this version will come with Wi-Fi or not, and I am [...]
One of the original theme designers, Steve (from PimpMyBerry.Com) recently sent in a few of his latest theme designs for the Blackberry 8220. The one that caught my eye was ‘Dontcha‘ (as in “Dontcha wish your Berry was hot like this..”) and I kinda wish it was. I mean, I love my Bold, but when [...]
Sarah just sent me in her latest theme design called ‘Be a kid‘ for Blackberry 81xx, 82xx, 83xx & 88xx devices. I think this theme is so adorable, and I’m not sure why but it reminds me of my much younger days when kids would take yellow chalk and write all over their driveway. Anyway, [...]
