Engadget scored a mock up photo of what the box will look like for the Verizon BlackBerry Storm 9530. This BlackBerry looks awesome! I hope it comes to T-Mobile sooner than later.

Impatient and can’t wait for the Bold to be released by your service provider?

A reader just left a comment about being able to purchase one right now! Keep in mind that since it is without a contract, the price is pretty hefty. I know there are people out there that would like to get their hands on one now though. Here are the prices:

$749.00 CAD
$706.60 USD (about)

RIM has this page up on their site full of BlackBerry applications. Right now it doesn’t seem to be viewable through the BlackBerry browser. Could this be the future BlackBerry App Store?

rgeorge is conducting a poll over at BlackBerry Forums to see how many are interested in ColorPearl for 8100 on OS 4.5. With enough interest, he might create a ColorPearl that will work on OS 4.5. If he does go through with creating this application, it would be FREE!

Who wouldn’t be interested!? I’m joining just to vote on that poll .

I suggest everyone who has an 8100 and wants ColorPearl for OS 4.5 go over and vote right now!

If you don’t know what ColorPearl is, check it out here: www.GeekandProud.net.

ColorPearl

ColorPearl allows you to change the color of the trackball on your BlackBerry Pearl.

Note: The ONLY BlackBerry that this will work on is the Pearl/8100! It is the only device with the colored LEDs behind the trackball. There will not be a version for the 8800, Curve/8300, Pearl 2/8120/8130. Blame RIM, not me!
