BGR found out that the upcoming BlackBerry Storm 2 is going to be the 9550 (CDMA) and that the 9520 version of the Storm 2 does exist.
The Storm 2 (9550) should be out later this year for Verizon and maybe Vodafone, along with the 9520 possibly releasing on AT&T and Rogers “relatively soon.”
Here are some features of the BlackBerry 9550:
CDMA 1xRTT/EVDO Rev. A
Quad-band GSM/EDGE
Single-band UMTS/HSDPA (2100MHz only)
Wi-Fi b,g
3.2 megapixel camera
360×480 resolution capacitive screen
OS 5.0
That’s right! The BlackBerry Storm 2 will come complete with Wi-Fi capabilities, something the first generation Storm failed to ship with.
With the Tour being released, will you wait for the Storm 2 or just get the Tour?

Yes, I know this was already released by CSL Limited, but some BlackBerry users may not like using released versions unless it’s from their own carrier. Here you go Rogers subscribers .

It looks like mobile carriers aren’t pleased with Skype for the iPhone and the upcoming version for BlackBerry, which would allow free skype-to-skype calls.
By David Flynn:
iPhone users are taking up arms against some of the world’s largest telcos in an effort to use Skype over the 3G airwaves. With the support of Apple, mobile carriers in the US, Canada and Germany have blocked Skype from their networks so that the popular VoIP service can be run only over a local Wi-Fi connection.
Since its release last Tuesday, Skype has become the most popular download at Apple’s iPhone software store. But AT&T in the US, Canada’s Rogers and T-Mobile in Germany are all on the front line to defend what they see as their right to determine how their networks are used.
I realize the article concentrates on the Apple iPhone, but since it’s about “mobile carriers,” that means they aren’t happy with Skype altogether. This would most likely affect BlackBerry users just the same once Skype gets released for BlackBerrys.
I know plenty of people have been waiting for a Skype client for BlackBerry. Revolt anyone?

*UPDATE* Here are some photos of Pongr in action on my BlackBerry Curve 8900. I noticed that using the Barcode search results in more desirable prices, probably because it is more precise. Let me know if you try it out!
Just found out about a cool new BlackBerry application called Pongr. This application basically helps you find the best price available for a certain product, like books, movies, music, and video games, etc. This application is currently in public beta and is FREE!
The way it works is you take a photo of the product, email it to ping@pongr.com or send a text to SHOPP (74677), then Pongr will send back a list of the best prices and websites where you can purchase your item right to your BlackBerry. Nice!
