The Amazingly Resilient BlackBerry Curve 8350i
Every month I look over the download data that BlackBerry provides for my game Pixelated. Looking at this data allows me to follow trends and analyze the current state of the BlackBerry market. One device that always surprised me is the BlackBerry Curve 8350i. The Nextel branded 8350i was first released in 2008 as the…

Free Official BlackBerry Holiday Themes Available in More Countries
For some ridiculous reason RIM decide to restrict the availability of the three free holiday themes they released. At first they were only available to users in the US and Canada but now they have expanded them to more countries. (Thx iBenRowe) The crazy part is that each theme has a different list of countries…

Verizon No Longer Selling BlackBerry Curve 8330?
Steve tipped us off that Verizon is now longer offering the BlackBerry Curve 8330 on their website for sale. This is an odd move since the 83XX Curve is still the most popular smartphone worldwide. The crazy part is that Verizon is still selling the BlackBerry 8703e. Maybe the BlackBerry Curve 8530 truly was meant…
