Motorola Patent Not Infringed by BlackBerry
Motorola has been suing BlackBerry maker Research In Motion over a patent relegated to an email gateway; however, a high court judge has ruled that Research In Motion doesn’t infringe Motorola’s patent reports an article over on the Calgary Herald . Apparently the high court judge in London invalidated a Motorola patent saying that even if it had been valid, two RIM communications systems didn’t infringe said patent. From 2003 to 2007 Motorola and Research In Motion had a licence agreement in place and since then have been suing each other over patents when they both failed to reach a new agreement. The most recent action was Motorola asking the US International Trade Commission to halt Research In Motion products importing smartphones which they claim infringes five of their patents but as yet the ITC has not investigated.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Ditched by T-Mobile
If you are a fan of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone from Research In Motion on the T-Mobile network and haven’t yet got one the chances of actually going to T-Mobile and getting one have just been greatly reduced. The reason being, according to an article over on engadget , T-Mobile has now officially confirmed they are discontinuing the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone and will no longer offer it. T-Mobile’s answer as to why the discontinuation is that the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has “reached the end of its life cycle,” and well you can get straighter than that can you. Still, even though T-Mobile has decided to ditch the BlackBerry Curve 8900 there are still a few good alternative BlackBerry smartphones to be had such as the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and BlackBerry Curve 8520.

Upcoming BlackBerry Packing Both Trackpad and SurePress Screen?
We’ve been seeing a lot of an in-the-works device from RIM sporting both a full physical QWERTY keyboard and a clicking touchscreen, code-named the BlackBerry Magnum or Dakota . TD analyst Chris Umiatowski has it on good word that there will be a BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ) that has those features as well as an optical trackpad. At first, I thought having the two input mechanisms would be redundant, but a lot of Android handsets are pulling it off these days. The absence of any kind of directional navigation was the key characteristic of the previously leaked device (above), although it was said that it was a prototype that would never see production

BGR explains why 3G BlackBerry Bands are not Hardware dependent, rather Software.
Yesterday we reported about the possibility of a AWS-capable BlackBerry Pearl 9100 heading to networks like T-Mobile and Wind Mobile. At first it was thought to be a separate model of the Pearl 9100 designed only to work on these networks, but Boy Genius has decided to set everyone straight. Apparently all newer 3G BlackBerry smartphones such as the Bold 9700 and the upcoming Pearl 9100 are one single model, and not designed separately for North American or European markets. This means that the Bold 9700 that lets say AT&T or Rogers carries is the exact same as the one that T-Mobile or Wind Mobile carries

BlackBerry OS 5.2 to launch later this year, followed by OS 6.0 next year
With the launch of Android, WebOS, and of course the iPhone, the current BlackBerry OS is starting to feel a little obsolete. It’s only a matter of time before RIM’s starts working on a refresh, and with any luck at all OS 6.0 will bring that. Boy Genius is reporting about a tip he received saying RIM plans to release OS 6.0 sometime next year, and that RIM is working on OS 5.2 for a release later this year. Considering it took so long to release OS 5.0 I’m not setting any high expectations of seeing this anytime soon. But let’s all hope RIM’s OS 6.0 really kicks ass.

Check Out The Facebook BlackBerry Wallpaper Generator
I don’t know how long the Facebook BlackBerry Wallpaper Generator has been around, but, it appears to be a Facebook app officially created by Research in Motion, and, I have to admit, is kind of cool. The BlackBerry Wallpaper Generator does exactly what its name implies. It allows you quickly and easily create BlackBerry wallpapers. You can use the built-in wallpapers included in the app, or, pull images directly from your facebook gallerys, which, to me, is the beauty of the application. The BlackBerry Wallpaper Generator is a free Facebook Application. You can access it via your PC by visiting http://apps.facebook.com/blackberrywallpaper/ .

BGR Breaks It Down: Why a BlackBerry’s 3G bands are no longer relevant
It seems that every BlackBerry-lover on the Internets is making a big deal over this AWS spectrum-equipped BlackBerry 9100 , and while it’s great to have confirmation that the unit is hitting T-Mobile (and maybe even visiting our Canadian friends at WIND, too), all in all, it doesn’t really mean much.
