Best Buy lists Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8520 $99/$449



It seems the Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8520 is just around the corner. Today Best Buy Canada “accidentally” listed the BlackBerry Curve 8520 for Rogers on their site. It’s currently listed at $99 with three year contract or $449 without. This comes after launch materials and dummy phones have arrived at some Rogers retail stores across Canada. This might mean we will see an official launch sometime soon. Keep checking in…

Free Pacman Updated for Bold, Tour, & 8900 Curve

Free Pacman Updated for Bold, Tour, & 8900 Curve





WAYYY back in 2007 we told you that Benny Chow released a slick free Pacman game for BlackBerrys.
Sadly over the years it stopped working in full screen on newer devices due to recent OS improvements.
Fast forward to 2009 where cslaten spotted an update by Benny Chow that brings full screen compatibility for the Bold, Tour, & 8900 Curve! Nice work Benny Chow!

I’ve been getting some emails and BBM messages asking where the links where, they are still up, I had to move some of the files around on my server so some of the old links may not be valid, but here are the updated links plus a few more versions that have been floating around for some of the new 5.0 OSs. At first there where alot of bad reports but all versions seem to be working great after RIM switched on all the features. If your worried about losing your contacts, here’s a great tip from one of the commenter’s, not sure if it works but it’s worth the try.
After the installation finishes, don’t select “Reboot Device” Select No or whatever the other option is, back out to your homescreen, the reboot the handheld manually by either a battery pull, or quick pull or some other third party app. *Tip: hold left alt, right shift and del at the same time for a couple of seconds to reboot also.*
This has apparently been a workaround for losing your contacts, let me know in comments below if it works for you.

****THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE, INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK. MAKE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR PHONE FIRST. IF YOU DOWNLOAD ANY OF THESE AND IT DOESN’T WORK, IT WILL PROBABLY REMOVE YOUR BLACKBERRY MESSENGER ALL TOGETHER, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR CONTACTS OR BRICK YOUR PHONE.
