BBGeekcast: July 10, 2009 – Episode 72

Posted by Joe on July 10, 2009

With the BlackBerry Tour set to hit this weekend (during the week in Canada), we’re all out of things to say about it. Fret not, fellow geeks, there are plenty of devices coming up. We take a look at the next few that will drop.

So click on over here to hear the BBGeekcast (10 min, 39 sec)

Highlights include:

We’re talking new BlackBerry models, and that means the upcoming Onyx, Gemini (8520), Pearl 3G, Magnum, and Storm 2. The latter two promise to be edgy devices, complete with touchscreens. In fact, it sounds like the Storm 2 might be closer to the iPhone than the original, and the Magnum sound kind of like the Palm Treo. it will be interesting to see what kind of spin RIM puts on them.

Plus, BlackBerry App World is expanding. That’s great, of course. You always want a better selection. But it still has plenty of bugs, including some pretty horrible initial load time. That will all hopefully improve with time.
