Bell rolling out new colours for BlackBerry Curve and Pearl

New BlackBerry Curve colors

I’m pretty sure this is the first BlackBerry 8330 we’ve seen in red, and it’s due to hit Bell on August 8th alongside a white and titanium BlackBerry 8130. Fresh paint jobs seem like sloppy seconds when compared to the BlackBerry Bold and eventually the BlackBerry Kickstart coming out on GSM carriers in the near future, but if Bell actually makes the GSM switch, maybe they won’t have to settle for less. Still, new paint jobs are always cool, and it’s hard to argue with that colour on the Curve. Keep an eye on the Bell online store for the fresh offers… Right now the Pearl is going for free on a three year contract, and the Curve is $149.95.

The Nokia E71 makes its New York debut

The Nokia E71 hands on

The Nokia E71 is a great balance between good media device and ultimate efficiency

The Nokia E71 made its debut at Nokia’s flagship store in New York. Why are we happy? Because the E71 is rocking some solid media features: a 3.2 megapixel camera with good video capabilities, up to 8gb MicroSD and a front camera for video calling.

Also, we’re happy because it makes some for some good efficiency with Easy-to-configure email, including support for both email including Mail for Exchange and Intellisync as well as the most popular consumer email services like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail, combined with real-time access to calendar information, contacts and to-do lists.

Oh yeah and it’s $500 unsubsidized. Not too bad.

The most expensive looking phone in the world

Lights Style Jewels

And by “expensive” I mean “retarded.”

Getting a ton of bling on your phone is fun and all but it’s expensive. So instead, make your mobile look like it was pimped out by Peter Aloisson with Lights Style Jewels. I’m assuming there aren’t many 10 year old girls who read QuicklyBored but some of you may have illegitimate daughters that this would make a perfect gift for. Personally, I think it’s a great way to ruin a phone.

Copy & Paste comes to the iPhone and it’s near useless


First Look - MagicPad from Apple iPhone Apps on Vimeo.

Copy and Paste solely in a text editor isn’t going to cut it guys.

Oooh, MagicPad has found a way to copy and paste in a text editor. Thank you MagicPad! Now I can…Well…Um…Copy and paste a “to do” list so I have twice as much work. Great. I’m almost mad at this company for creating such a buzz around the internet because they know we all want copy and paste for the iPhone and as soon as the headlines came we totally freaked. And then came the giant, epic and disastrous letdown. I can’t imagine needing copy and paste solely in a text editor. This day is officially ruined and a write-off.

BlackBerry Bold browser in action (video)

One of the bigger upgrades with the BlackBerry Bold is the browsing experience, which you can see clearly in this video from Boy Genius. You get a look at the general rendering capability of OS 4.6, as well as speed differences between EDGE and Wi-Fi. I’d be curious to see how 3G compares… On the whole this is a much needed update - the poor BlackBerry browser has been a point of contention for plenty of users for a good long time. You guys happy to see the problem fixed? What’s the next biggest issue RIM needs to tackle?
