CrackBerry A nickname for the Blackberry that was coined because of the device's "addictive" nature.

The BlackBerry Storm / Thunder whatever, is due to arrive in Verizon stores in November for $199, the touchscreen-y smartphone has some new (and to some underwhelming) features. An accelerometer, a screen that functions as a button, and an on-screen keyboard. 
I was excited when I first heard about this, but early reviews have me concerned. An iPhone killer? Perhaps not.
The RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip (aka the Kickstart). is like a candybar Pearl.. that flips, with an an external display for previewing incoming texts, emails and phone calls. Watch for it at T-Mobile soon.
A good replacement for my sisters Pearl? I think… Maybe.
News was that the AT&T BB Bold had a launch date around September 1, But I have yet to hear or see it. But according to The BGR, it has a great new look, an updated GUI (virtually the same OS), a crisp new keyboard and better sound and call quality. The Bberry loyalists will flock to this me thinks. Especially those tired of their older models.
I’ll stick with my Curve 8830 for a while, but this may be next.
Along with the hot new phones are some hot new future apps:

- Slacker Internet Radio
- TIVO for Blackberry
- AOL Mail, AIM & ICQ
With fall cell phone competition heating up (see the LG Lotus, the HTC Touch, etc.), it looks like RIM is staying well into the thick of things.
