My buddy Ronen found out that Seidio is now taking preorders for their Innocase II Surface case for the BlackBerry Curve 8900. If you preorder it now it will ship during the week of February 10, 2009.
The Innocase II Surface case comes in five different colors:
Black
Blue
Grey
Pink
Red
From the description:
Our unique Innocase II Surface is only 1mm thick and provides a strong layer of protection and excellent grip for your Curve
Innocase II Slide-in design offers different styling than our original Innocase
1mm thin case provides scratch protection without adding much bulk
Designed from a hard, yet flexible material
Unique soft-touch “rubberized” texture provides a great feel and better grip
Soft felt lining offers interior protection
Slip it into your pocket or pair it with one of our Innocase holsters or leather cases
Add our Ultimate Screen Guard for total device protection
…
Alongside the Innocase II Surface case is their Innocase Holster, which is designed to be used with Innocases. The Innocase Holster is already available for purchase.

ColorWare is now offering custom paint jobs for the BlackBerry Curve 8900.
I went over to the site to see what they could offer and it came out looking pretty cool. The only thing is, like CrackBerry Kevin mentioned, they don’t paint in between the keys. That’s ok though, my imaginary Curve 8900 looks awesome with just the side and bottom frames painted.

I was going to get a 16GB media card for my new BlackBerry Curve 8900 (when I get it)…but I think I’ll wait for the SDXCs to come out.
Some highlights from the press release:
The next-generation SDXC (eXtended Capacity) memory card specification, announced today at the 2009 International CES, dramatically improves consumers’ digital lifestyles by providing the portable storage and speed needed to store weeks of high-definition video, years of photo collections and months of music to mobile phones, cameras and camcorders, and other consumer electronic devices.
The SDXC specification, developed by the SD Association, leapfrogs memory card interface speeds while retaining the world-leading SD interface.
A 2TB SDXC memory card can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording or 17,000 fine-grade photos.
SDXC is also the first memory card specification to provide 2TB storage without hindering the high-speed performance necessary for high-end photography.

Newegg.com is currently selling Transcend 8GB microSDHC media cards for only $13.99 with free shipping!
If you’ve been waiting to spend some money on a new SD card, now’s your chance. According to Ronen over at BerryReview, this media card’s transfer/write rate is higher than average. Reading the user reviews at the product page will confirm this.
According to one reviewer:
Fast enough for video playback on Sansa Fuze, which I understand has been an issue with some cards. I filled mine with 7Gigs of mp3’s in less than 10 minutes(sync from media player). Works great. I set my player to shuffle playback and may not hear the same song for a month.
Sounds good to me. I don’t have nearly that much music but I’m sure I could find other uses for it. Maybe I’ll put Scarface and some Family Guy videos on there.
