BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 Is Coming to Bell On August 12
According to IntoMobile, the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 is coming to Bell on August 12th. Last week, the only information that we obtained was that it was going to Bell, but now we have the launch date. The BlackBerry 9300, or so called Kepler, will be a small upgrade to the 8500 series. Nothing really changes; both devices will have same screen, app memory, camera, operating system, and of course the same 3G connection, although, only now for GSM carriers.
The BlackBerry 9300 and the BlackBerry 8500 is like a twin with a little similarity that hardly shown on the surface. We have no idea what so ever why Bell would pick the the BlackBerry 9300 when they already have the BlackBerry 8500. Meanwhile, Vodafone, T-Mobile, and Verizon seems to interested on the BlackBerry 9300. There are no words on pricing but surely there won’t be a high price for this device.

White iPhone 4 Delay Details Emerge
Okay obviously any iPhone fan holding on for the eventual release of the white iPhone 4 has had disappointment after disappointment as Apple continually delays the release of the white version which they say is due to manufacturing issues.
Well apparently Boy Genius of the BGR of course, has apparently found out some details as to the delay of the white iPhone 4 and the issues Apple is facing in getting that whiter than white device into the public’s hands.
It’s all to do with the paint and getting it thick enough for the front of the device, Apple wants it perfect white without any transparency and without affecting the proximity sensor and its causing a problem. Also there appears to be an issue with the paint itself apparently although the back panels are ok as they have no need to keep clear areas for the LCD display.
Apparently the handset isn’t “perfectly white” due to the binder Apple was using which gave it an off-white tint which Apple doesn’t want. However according to the BGR’s source Apple may have solved the issue and the white iPhone 4 could possible see release in the near future.
So there you have it, apparently it’s all a paint issue and the fact that Apple wants the white iPhone 4 to be pure white with no blemishes. Does that mean Apple will guarantee a free matching pure white bumper case with every white iPhone 4?

Palm Pre Plus price cut to $100 by AT&T
The price of the Palm Pre Plus has been greatly cut by AT&T as they are now offering the Smartphone for an amazing $99.99.
The new lower price includes a minimum data service starting at $15 per month and also a 2 year contract with new activation. As reported earlier in an article by Ionut Arghire over at softpedia.com
Now of course with an offer this good you are probably expecting there to be a catch, and there is a little one. Even if you are lucky enough to meet the criteria getting hold of one may prove a little difficult at the moment as the operators website is showing that the device is temporary out of stock.
This does however seem to be a little on the strange side as almost immediately after the price was lowered for the Palm Pre Plus by AT&T they run out of stock? Especially when you consider that both Sprint and Verizon who also sell the same device are complaining about their overstocks.
