Rhythm in Motion has finally made the announcement that many BlackBerry fans have been expecting. The official announcement of the highly anticipated device confirmed the rumors that have surrounded

RIM markets the Bold as a top of the line BlackBerry smartphone that features premium design and unprecedented performance. It is said to be perfect for business professionals and power users. Sounds impressive but I'll withhold my judgment until I can test the device.

The official images of the BlackBerry 9000 indicate that it has the most vivid and bold display offered by any BlackBerry smartphone. The device sports a VGA color LCD that has been fused to the undersurface of the lens. This fusion makes the images come alive with high clarity and definition. Users will find the pictures vibrant and razor sharp when using the Bold. Videos will also play smoothly and web pages, documents, presentations and messages on this new BlackBerry device offer exceptional quality and contrast.

It may present a stunning appearance but the BlackBerry Bold is more than just it's impressive outer shell. This smart phone is also defined by reliable performance. Downloading email attachments, streaming video or rendering web pages is a synch with the help of the Bold's support for tri-band HSDPA and enterprise-grade Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g) networks and its next-generation 624 MHz mobile processor.

Consumers will also benefit from the 128 MB Flash memory plus 1 GB on-board storage memory, and a microSD/SDHC memory card slot that are included in the device. RIM's 9000 device offers the renowned BlackBerry productivity applications, including phone, email, messaging, organizer and browser.

This high-end mobile phone makes life easier for users because it works with thousands of mobile business and lifestyle applications. With the aid of the preloaded DataViz® Documents to Go® suite, they can even talk on the phone while sending and receiving email or accessing the web, and download Word, Excel or PowerPoint files and edit them directly.

The announcement also informed the industry that the BlackBerry Bold 9000smartphone will be available from wireless carriers around the world beginning this summer. AT&T Mobility is expectes to be the first carrier to launch the Bold. However, a 1700MHz model coming which will support T-Mobile’s 3G data network will also be released.

3G IPhone Bargain Bonanza

I picked up this exciting 3G iPhone rumor while surfing the web. According to this Fortune.cnn.com article, a source revealed that AT&T is making some special plans to enhance the release of Apple's 3G iPhone.

The exclusive U.S. iPhone distributor is rumored to be planning to cut the price of the highly popular handset by as much as $200 when the 3G version is launched this summer. If it's true that AT&T will subsidize $200 of the cost of a new iPhone, then the price will be brought down to $199. This will be available for customers who sign two-year contracts according to the source of this rumor.

Naturally, representatives from both AT&T and Apple declined to comment when confronted with these rumors. If this plan is true, then they are probably keeping it a secret to maximize its impact on the market and to keep other carriers from making a quick response.

If the 3G iPhone will be sold for 200 hundred bucks then a wider consumer market will be able to afford it. AT&T will have an attractive offer that can lure lucrative customers away from rival mobile phone service providers. It would be logical the new iPhone will likely be locked or programmed to prevent buyers from taking the discounted handset to another network.

Plenty of rumors have surfaced about the upcoming 3G iPhone. The highly popular mobile device may be to be released on the one-year anniversary of the original version.

Fortune's source claims that Apple will cease to release the original version once the 3G device is in the market. This move may be seen as an attempt to clear out inventory and stir up demand for the new 3G version.

The source of the rumor also offered other details on the upcoming 3G iPhone. One of these details is the new version will be slimmer by 2.5 mm than the older model. The new iPhone may also offer a GPS chip for navigation and other location-based services.

Well, this is certainly an interesting rumor. If it's true then a lot of people will definitely purchase the 3G iPhone. I know I would. However, these are just rumors and there are tons of rumors on Apple's hit handset these days. Tune in for more updates or confirmations on these rumors.

iPhone Continues to Fuel AT&T's Growth

The huge popularity of the iPhone meant success for the carrier that offers. AT&T is still experience the effects of Apple's device and is still growing strong as indicated by its earnings for this year.

AT&T Mobility reported customer additions that are similar with last years customer increase. The gains in the number of new customers has pushed the carrier’s to increase to more than seventeen percent. Experts believe that the ongoing strong sales of Apple Inc.’s iPhone is the main cause of this growth boost. The continued weakness at Sprint Nextel Corp. is also a significant factor in the strong growth experienced by AT&T.

Let's explore the details of AT&T's iPhone powered growth. The mobile phone carrier reported that 1.295 million net wireless customers were added during the first quarter of this year. This number represented an increase of 8.7% compared with the figures taken on the first quarter of 2007.

With the addition of these new customers, AT&T's customer base now number more than 71.3 million subscribers. However, the nation's no.1 carrier also lost some customers. When the carrier shut down its TDMA network in late February, around 330,000 customers defected to other networks.

AT&T Mobility's average revenue per user also increased pushed the carrier’s service revenues to $10.6 billion for the quarter. The carrier's data services accounted for $2.3 billion, or 21.5%, of total service revenues. An increase in the carrier's equipment revenues during the quarter pushed total revenues up.

All these growth in various areas boosted AT&T’s income during the first quarter of 2008 to $2.9 billion. With the iPhone still going strong, this trend will probably continue. The launch of the anticipated 3G iPhone could also bring more customers and increased income for the carrier. The success brought about by this remarkable handset has encouraged other networks to find a handset that will duplicate the iPhone's powerful appeal.
