The BlackBerry Style 9670 has hit the Sprint image material database. This is where all the materials are found for marketing purposes. It is said that once new items are found in this database it is only a matter of a few weeks before the device should get officially announced.



It is most likely that we will see the Style 9670 get announced at DevCon 2010. Yesterday we saw that the Style 9670 had passed its FCC certification. It was originally thought that the Style 9670 would be heading to Verizon as an exclusive. It is still unclear whether or not Verizon will get the 9670, but we are certain Sprint should launch it first.

RIM has subsequently confirmed that Sprint will be carrying the upcoming Curve 9330 (CDMA version of 9300) by publishing a knowledge base article outlining a current issue with the 9330.



The problem starts when doing a master factory reset using the ##RTN command. Here is the formal description:

After the ##RTN command is performed on a Sprint BlackBerry Curve 9330 smartphone, BlackBerry App World storefront and all preloaded games other than BrickBreaker and Word Mole are unexpectedly removed without user action."

Apparently, the only way to correct the problem is to re-install App World. However, this will completely remove all games you may have previously had.



*update* the knowledge base article has since been removed.

Our Sprint connect let us know that both the BlackBerry Curve 9330 and the Clamshell 9670 are headed to Sprint. This also goes along with what BGR has suggested for the 9670. The above image is of both devices being tested in Sprint facility, however, the 9670 is not Sprint branded like the 9330.





Perhaps we won't see the Clamshell 9670 towards the end of 2010, beginning of 2011. Nevertheless, this means that the 9670 will not be a Verizon exclusive as we had heard before.



Verizon is still set to get these two devices, or so we think, but nothing other than rumors have pushed this suggestion. Hopefully we still see a Verizon branded 9330 or 9670 soon as well.

Well everyone can breathe a sigh of relief because the Bold 9650 has finally arrived and is now available for purchase on the Sprint carrier website.  The full retail price is $450, but new customers and those eligible for an upgrade can grab it for $199 on contract with the included instant savings.  We haven't heard whether or not it is available at any Sprint store locations, but how many of you are going to go give this bad boy a try?

WES 2010 is only a day away, but participants of the event have already checked in and received some promotional material. Within the WES 2010 promo notebook, our friend Al Sacco from CIO.com snagged the above image of a Sprint ad clearly showing the Bold 9650.



Many have wondered if RIM would present the Bold 9650 at WES. It looks like they may just do so and the rumored May 16th release date could be possible.

According to CrackBerry, this seems to be the case.  The above photo was received on their tip line and shows the BlackBerry Bold 9650 with the date [5/16] beside it, along with some potential price listings for the launch.  Most of the buzz about this device has focused on the Verizon version of the 9650, but it now seems likely that Sprint may beat Verizon to the punch and put this device on the market 1st.  Only time will tell, so we will see what happens in the future.  Just keep your fingers crossed and continue hoping that the 9650 is released more sooner than later.
