It’s always a pleasant show when we get news on upcoming BlackBerry devices. It’s always doubly pleasant when we get news on two of them. That’s what we’ve go on tap this week, as we’ve heard information about the BlackBerry slider and the BlackBerry Tour2…the new CDMA BlackBerry. Which, by the way, seemingly has a name now.

It’s not every week that we’re expose to a new BlackBerry model. But when we are we tend to yap about it. This time it’s a BlackBerry touchscreen slider, a device we’ve been hearing about for years now. In fact, it was just about two years ago that we saw a patent application for a slider, though this one’s a bit different.

We usually cover news and developments related to new BlackBerry devices in this space, but this week we look at it from a different angle. We didn’t hear much, if anything, new about the 9650 or the 9100 this week, but we did hear about the retirement of old devices. Hey, you can’t support them forever.

I don’t know what happened, but apparently the podcast never posted on Friday. Can’t figure that one out, but when I got back from a trip this weekend I didn’t see it on the site. So here it is, a little late, with a thousand apologies.

Big stories don’t care what the rest of the news is doing. In a week when the BlackBerry news slowed up a bit — or I just missed some of the interesting stories, which is entirely possible — we still got what’s considered a big story. It’s the monthly/quarterly release of the country’s top-selling smartphones. This is always a fun one to dive into.

What would you do-oo-oo for a new BlackBerry OS? Not just an upgrade, like OS 5.0, but a major overhaul that will put RIM’s software in line with other smartphone platforms? Yeah, I’m drooling too. We heard a bit about a mysterious OS 6.0 this week, and while it’s just a name right now that won’t hold back our vivid imaginations.

Wow. 100 episodes. Even crazier: we have had a BBGeekcast every single week, without fail, since starting it up in February 2008. We’ll hit our two-year anniversary in about a month, but until then we’ll have fun celebrating the century mark. And we have some good BlackBerry stuff to discuss, as always.

What happens when we get tidbits about new BlackBerry devices? We break them down on the Geekcast. We’ve got two this week, both milestones. We saw one caught in the wild for the first time, and we saw the other in carriers’ computer systems. Plus, perhaps you can increase the storage on your BlackBerry soon.
