YouGetItBack let me know that they have added GPS tracking to the list of new features we mentioned before. This essentially uses the GPS in your GPS enabled BlackBerry to help you track your Berry if you lost it or if you just feel like knowing where it is…

As long as you have OS 4.2+ you should be good to go if you are interested. Not much else new but it looks like you can track the device using Google Maps.

Check it out at www.yougetitback.com. There is a 7 day free trial option if you want to give it a spin.

Shim sent in the knowledgebase article detailing how the 8220 will be able to view video in landscape mode. That means you will be able to turn your Flip to the side and watch widescreen video. Smart move on RIM’s part.

The almost part is that according to RIM you have to transfer the video using Roxio Media Manager to get it to play in landscape mode… If you transfer it any other way it will not work.

Also of note is the new details that Cherrichiodo scored on PinStack of the T-Mobile Pearl 8220 Flip Product & Service Guide. The preloaded games are now:

• Trooper Typing
• Sudoku
• Klondike
• Texas Hold’em

Sadly it looks like Wordmole is not included…

T-Mobile is even describing the device:

The Pearl Flip has very similar features to the Pearl 8120, the main difference is that it’s a flip design instead of a bar.

I came across priceline.mobi on WapReview and thought it was worth mentioning. The mobile version of Priceline is actually quite unimpressive. It does not let you bid for flights or hotels which is the bread and butter for Priceline. All it lets you do is search for available hotels and call them using click to call to reserve. They also have a watered down ZAGAT guide available but nothing special. Check it out at www.priceline.mobi

I usually mention mobile sites to recommend them but I decided to mention this one to point out how useless one can be. I have yet to find a good site that lets you search and book hotels and flights on the go kind of like Orbitz on your BlackBerry. The only ones I have found to date are airline or hotel chain specific.

If you find one let me know…

Josep let me know that Fortte has officially released their line of cases for the BlackBerry Bold. Fortte makes some slick BlackBerry cases out of quality leather so I am glad they are staying on top of newer devices. I just hate the bulky blocky case that came with the Bold. Now if only Seidio would release the holster clip for the Bold…

Fortte now has 7 different customizable cases for the Bold. You can check the whole line out at this link.

WildCharge is really starting to yank my chain. Almost a year ago to this day WildCharge promised a slightly convoluted wireless charging solution for the BlackBerry. It was promised to come soon on October 19th 2007!!! Just to give you an idea their promotional images back then showed the 7130 with a custom battery cover.

Today I just read a press release from them that their wireless charging solution will be released for the Curve and the Pearl on October 6th. Can’t say I believe them but is this really worth the mouth watering it caused a year ago?

They are promising a protective gel case that builds in the WildCharge solution. You then put your Berry on their charging pad and it will charge by contact…

All I can say is what is taking so long!!!

Al did a great writeup of the new features of this beta at this link.

This is really starting to get out of hand. It used to be that we would hear a juicy leaked tidbit a week if we were lucky. For the past few months there have been multiple leaks/rumors in one day. For the sake of brevity I will combine the last 24 hours into one post. Even I am finding it hard to keep track of them all…

BlackBerry Cool managed to dig up some speculative pricing for the T-Mobile BlackBerry 8220 Flip Pearl from two forums.

• New Activation 2 Year Contract $149.99 (after $50 MIR)
• New Activation 1 Year Contract $199.99 (after $50 MIR)
• Full Upgrade 2 Year Contract $167.99 (after $50 MIR)
• Full Upgrade 1 Year Contract $217.99 (after $50 MIR)
• Partial Upgrade: TBD
• Retail Price: $349.99

I wonder what happened to the $49.99 price point we were hearing rumored before… With the way things are going with the Bold expect to see the AT&T 8220 sometime in early 2012. Thomas @ BerryReporter has also managed to catch another screen of the internal Best Buy system showing a ridiculous retail price of $679.99 for the 8220… These are crazy times.

Kevin @ CrackBerry & Michael @ TBGR found a slick video presentation of the BlackBerry Storm on Vodaphone that you can see below. It has some great shots of the media player and GUI. He also managed to score Verizons weekly “Talk Up A Storm” newsletter that shows off the Storm.

Another tip from our secret agents brings us OS 4.6.0.162 for the BlackBerry Bold AKA 9000 device. The 4.6.0.154 release was pretty solid with its smaller memory leak issue but hopefully that will be improved in this version.

Bold OS 4.6.0.162 was found at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/150222946/9000AllLang_PBr4.6.0_rel292_PL4.0.0.155_A4.6.0.162.exe.html

NOTE: Do not install this software if you do not know what you are doing. It may make your BlackBerry FUBAR or just plain angry.
