The BlackBerry Partners Fund is still out there, and apparently is soon to be used. According to TheStreet, the target investments range is $2 million to $5 million. That should definitely get those developers cracking .
“In the next few weeks, the fund will announce its first investments in three to four companies that are looking to create applications for the BlackBerry platform,” says Kevin Talbot, RBC vice president and co-manager of the BlackBerry Partners Fund.
With that much being invested in the development of BlackBerry applications, I can’t wait to see the results.

Check out the new Pearl and Curve from Verizon…in pink! Very nice color and great for anyone who likes pink and wants a really good phone. There is little difference with the two, so its really up to the person’s preference about size.
Personally I would go with the Pearl only because typing on the Pearl is a lot easier for me, but you might prefer the full QWERTY keyboard that the Curve offers.
For more info on the pink Pearl and Curve, or to pre-order, visit their website.
