Hey Guys! I know I have not posted a review in a while, but I felt that the products I am about to review deserved some mention! Our friends at OtterBox were ever so kind enough to pass along my way both the OtterBox Commuter and Defender series cases for the BlackBerry Pearl 9100. The BlackBerry Pearl 9100, having recently launched in the USA, has not had much exposure in the US. Being in Canada though, we have had the device for a while and as a result, OtterBox and myself thought that it would be beneficial if I could review the cases until the device became more mainstream in the US.
Let me begin with the OtterBox Commuter. The device comes in 2 colors, Black and Pink. OtterBox has recently released many of their cases in what they are calling “Strength”. When purchasing the pink Strength cases, 10% of your purchase will be donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. This organization donates money to all sources to allow access to patient care for those who may not be able to afford it! For those looking to make their contribution to society during the upcoming holiday season, the Strength series of cases is a great way to not only get a really cool looking case, but also a great way to make a donation to a very important cause.
Like all other Commuter cases, this one contains the traditional two layers of protection. The first layer, the under most layer, is the extremely durable Silicone skin. Unlike the silicone cases that you may find in your local China-town shop or on eBay for a penny, OtterBox puts a lot of research into their silicone to ensure that it will live up to life…that is, that allows you to use the case naturally, every day, without having to worry about whether or not it will continue to protect your phone. I am pleased to say that OtterBox has greatly improved on the quality of their silicone to help ensure that dust and other materials will not attach itself to the product as it has in the past. They still have a little bit of work to do as it is not yet perfect, but it is the best I have seen thus far! The second layer is the the polycarbonate outer shell. This shell is a thin piece of “plastic” which basically wraps around the device itself, stiffening up the level of protection and durability that the silicone already offers the device. These two layers, combined with the included screen protector that adheres to the screen, offers a very high level of protection for the regular daily user that is looking for a fashionable add-on to their device, while still allowing full ease of use!
With all of the hype throughout the last few days surrounding the Torch 9800 and BlackBerry 6, details were also released that will satisfy the curiosity of many of our readers using existing models. We’re happy to report that RIM have confirmed that the Pearl 9100, Bold 9650, and Bold 9700 will be getting the update to RIM’s new OS – BlackBerry 6.
Confirmation was provided from InsideBlackBerry, the official BlackBerry blog, that these devices will see the update, pending carrier approval. With the Torch hitting shelves on August 12th, we expect carriers to begin the certification process for the new OS sometime around then, if they haven’t already, so we should see the update fairly soon.
Do you use one of the models confirmed to be getting the new OS? Let us know in the comments!

The device has 256MB flash memory and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Have Cincinnati Bell? Have or want an upgrade? Then hit the link and pick this up.
Ever since BlackBerry OS 6 was announced at WES 2010, one of the biggest questions is what current BlackBerry devices will be getting it. Well the folks over at BerryReview have made a prediction of which devices will be getting this new OS. Now with any rumor don’t take it too seriously specially in the BlackBerry world. However this could be a nice glimpse in what devices will get the new OS 6.
With the official release of the Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9650 today,
we thought it would only be suitable for any new owners to be able to get their hands on OS 5.0.0.732!
This is a Verizon package. Therefore, any Sprint users must delete the vendor.xml file.
We aren’t sure what has changed with this build, but it is certainly a fair step up from .699!
