RIM has not yet even announced the BlackBerry Tour 2, but everyone seems to know it's on the way. We've seen pictures, and dummy units showing up in carrier's inventory system.
BerryScoop now reports that Verizon has a .jad file for visual voicemail on their server, and file is named vvmail_9650.jad. The existence of this file does not mean the BB Tour 2 is coming soon, but it is further evidence that the Tour 2 is probably on the way at some point. We just hope it's sooner rather than lat...read more

Check out this video of a Nokia 5700 smartphone running BlackBerry OS 4.6. Who knows how they got this to run, but they did. If you just look at a still shot it could be fake, but this video seems to indicate that it is in fact, real.
The video shows that some guy ported the BlackBerry Pearl 8220's build of OS 4.6 to this Nokia 5700 and got it to work. Why would anyone want to do this? Your guess is as good as mine....read more

RIM briefly posted news about its upcoming BlackBerry 9650 on Facebook, but then quickly took it down. The problem is, CrackBerry got a screencap before the post came down.
The post read, "The BlackBerry Tour 9650 is coming! Check back soon for official news!"

Before the post was taken down 189 "liked" the pos...read more
