That is all well and good but many of us that didn’t plan well enough get stuck with a useless phone.

CellUnlock is simple piece of software that allows you to unlock your BlackBerry without having to consult big brother. Here’s how it works:

Once you run the App, it will read your phone’s 15 Digit IMEI & Model. All you have to do is enter the Country/Provider your Blackberry is from and submit. Your order will be processed by one of our members and the unlock code and instructions will be emailed to you.

The process seems to work like auto-magic but in reality there is someone working behind the scenes checking data and producing codes. If you have any problems along the way, the tech staff will walk you through it.

CellUnlock one third of the price compared with similar services like The Phone Unlockers or GSM Phone Source. We’d all like the download for free but at $9.99 it’s hard to complain.

At the time of this writing Amazon Wireless is offering 101 phones with a service contract from your choice of AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon Wireless. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 tops the list of bestselling phones. With a plan from AT&T it is going for one cent (not sure why they didn’t just make it free). Every phone has quick two-day shipping.

Now that all the big box stores are in the business of pushing Blackberrys and plans too, at first I wondered if Amazon really needs to be in this space. What can they possibly bring to the table that everyone else hasn’t already done first?

Amazon Wireless wins you over by how easy they make it to shop. The filter options at the left side of the site allow you to select everything from carrier, feature, price (penny phones included), colour and brand. Each offering has a growing amount of user reviews that Amazon is famous for so you can get past the marketing hype offered by the manufacturer and get straight to the perspective of people like yourself.

If you haven’t already, stop by Amazon Wireless to view the Blackberry phones they are offering for a penny.

So is this a big enough upgrade to interest current Blackberry Pearl users? Get an overview of the technology here as a few mobileoholics mess around with some of the new features. The hosts start to meander around halfway through the video as this was filmed very casually. Still, it is worth a watch.

It weighs about 130g.the screen has a resolution display of 480X360 and measures about 2.44 inches. It is a non touch screen phone that is graced with a QWERTY keyboard. The hardware of blackberry tour is very solid

Pros and cons

The design itself is so attractive and sturdy that it actually adds a lot of glamour to the phone. The typing on the keyboard is very comfortable and you don’t have to stress upon the keys much. The 65k color led display is very sharp and vibrant. The camera is efficient and has good picture quality. The only demerits of the phone are that it does not support the Wi-Fi connection and also its video recorder is not that effective. High end messaging and a wide range of multi-media features make it technologically unique.

Reviews and comments

Some people find the phone well worthy of investment because it offers them a comfortable keyboard, connectivity, quick processing and sharp screen display. The camera performance is good but the video recording is extremely bad as it can not shoot the fast moving scenes properly. The phone comes with an inbuilt memory of 256 MB along with a 4GBmemory card but the only problem with the phone is that the program that it supports can only be downloaded on the onboard memory card.

BlackBerryTools.Net os curious as to if any Bell Storm owners have installed this yet? If you have please leave a comment about how the OS is working on your BlackBerry.

And RIM has done something different here: this isn’t the resistive touch screen usually found on Windows Mobile devices, nor is it the “simple” capacitive display found on the iPhone and a few other phones. The Storm’s huge touch screen display is capacitive but it’s a screen made of floating layers, and the screen actually moves downward when you press it, giving a tactile click. Thus the whole screen moves just a hair, and clicks like a key on a standard BlackBerry. Funky. RIM calls this “SurePress”. This changes the way, or rather ways we interact with touch screens. The light to moderate touch works with the capacitive layer (it reacts to the electrical resistance in your skin, so a stylus won’t work). You’ll use this to scroll a web page, document or palette of icons. To select a web link, menu item, icon or keyboard key, you must press down until the display moves and clicks. Very funky… but kinda cool. It’s one of those things you’re either going to love or hate.

Indeed the Bold’s 2.6″ 65,000 color display looks absolutely fantastic: it’s sharp, bright, colorful and one of the nicest we’ve seen. It manages to look great outdoors in sunlight too, an easier feat for a non-touchscreen phone but we appreciate it nonetheless. Photos and videos look wonderful and text is sharp and easy to read, even at small font sizes.

This is a fast ‘Berry thanks to its 624MHz CPU, and there’s nearly a gig of storage built in. We rarely encountered slow-downs, and the phone was very stable– impressive given that this is the first release of the 4.6 OS on AT&T.
