BBGeekcast: July 3, 2008 – Episode 19

Posted by Joe on July 3, 2008

We’re heading into a holiday weekend, so happy 4th of July to everyone in America, and a happy belated Canada Day to those north of the border. We keep it brief again this week, though there’s plenty to talk about. A new BlackBerry Bold rumor, a Javelin rumor, and talks of another iDEN model.

So click on over here to hear the BBGeekcast (6 min, 37 sec)

Highlights include:

July 25 looks like the date the Bold will hit Rogers. It’s just a week after the last release party, so everything is seeming to line up. AT&T, where art thou?

Looking for the Bold on T-Mobile after AT&T’s exclusive period expires? Don’t get your hopes up. It looks like the Javelin will hit T-Mo. This, by all appearances, is the EDGE version of the Bold, which would fit with T-Mo, which still doesn’t have a nationwide 3G network.

Another iDEN BlackBerry? We haven’t seen one in a while, but it looks like RIM is working on a new one for Nextel.

A couple of Google updates for BlackBerry: enhanced search results. This looks like a response to Yahoo!’s oneSearch. Also, voice controls for Google Maps. Not bad.
