Posted by Joe on June 19, 2009 | 2 comments | Filed under : BlackBerry Podcasts, BlackBerry Reviews

Ok, wait. If you guys are really us, what number are we thinking of? ((episode) 69, dudes!) Okay, sophomoric antics aside, we’ve got some stuff to run down on the show, including the Tour announcement. Plus, there are some other BlackBerry devices in the offing.

So click on over here to hear the BBGeekcast (10 min, 20 sec)

And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you won’t miss future episodes!

You can also subscribe to the BBGeekcast in iTunes.

Highlights include:

The BlackBerry Tour has finally been announced, but we’re still awaiting a release date. Indicators are that it will hit Telus on July 15, but that’s not set in stone. Will it reach the U.S. first? Maybe. It would make sense if it did, but it’s no guarantee. Two things we do know: it will hit both Verizon and Sprint, and it will be $199.99. No big surprises there.

Another new device, the Onyx, has been reviewed and has also gotten an upgrade. First was the software, which identified it as the 9020, therefore in the Bold family. Second is hardware. Yes, they’ve updated it with the optical trackpad. So that’s something to be excited over. It’ll probably hit AT&T, and almost certainly drop before the holidays. This and the Storm 2 will be the next devices on the watch list after the Tour.

Apparently I got luckier than Wokisan: I got 13 seconds of the podcast from iTunes. It took me longer than that to read the description. What’s up?

I’m subscribed to the podcast through the Zune store. The latest podcast is the snippet about the number ’69′ (12 secs long). However the latest full length show is not available. I tried subscribing again via RSS and I have the same issue. Something is up with the subscriptions. Thanks.
