RIM will be releasing 5 new BlackBerry smartphones in conjunction with the release of the new Blackberry 7 operating system. The release will consist of two new Bold smartphones and three new Torch smartphones.

From the line up is the Bold 9900 and 9930 are the thinnest phones to ever come from RIM and also sports a new and improved look. The phone boasts a full keyboard and a touch screen display. Also, the Torch 9800 and 9810 models have a larger touchscreen display and a full slide-out keyboard. In addition, the Torch 9850 and 9860 will come without a slide-out keyboard but will boast the largest screen.

With this new OS, it improves the users experience by faster executions and a much better browsing experience. For those who aren’t into the iPhone and miss the feel of a keyboard, these are surely another great option for a smartphone.

iPhone 5 – Coming in September?

With the influx of rumors and speculations circulating throughout the web in the recent months, it has been reported that we might finally have a target month for the release of the highly anticipated iPhone 5.

The Guardian reports that the phone is undergoing final carrier testing which is a process that should take only weeks and that leaves Apple in a prime position to step up its manufacturing to meet a September launch.

Business Insider also states that the next iPhone is possibly a major update rather than just a spec change. They claim that it will boast a larger display and thinner bezel in addition to a dual-core processor. The form factor is said to be similar to the iPhone 4.

What is different is that in addition to a dual-core processor that we have talked about before, our supply chain sources indicate that it will sport a slightly larger display than the current 3.5-inch retina display that is already industry leading. We are picking up that it will retain a similar form factor and size but with thinner bezel. We believe this makes sense to improve the iPhone experience without making it too bulky as we have seen with models from competitors.

Shown below is a picture that is possibly the upcoming iPhone 5 but it most likely is a fake.

Recent developments have emerged as the The Wall Street Journal states that Apple is preparing a new iPhone to launch during the third quarter of this year. An expected 25 million units will be produced through the end of this year.

Apple’s sales estimates of the new iPhone is quite aggressive. It told us to prepare to help the company meet its goal of 25 million units by the end of the year,” said another person at one of Apple’s suppliers. “The initial production volume will be a few million units… we were told to ship the components to assembler Hon Hai in August.

It’s been also rumored that the new iPhone will be almost the same as the current iPhone 4 but more thinner and lighter, although Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn/Hon Hai is having difficulties on the new device due to it being “complicated and difficult to assemble.” Two of the people, however, cautioned that shipments of the new iPhone could be delayed if Hon Hai can’t improve its yield rate as the new iPhone is “complicated and difficult to assemble.

Any lens you own can attach to this mount, providing versatility with a full range of lenses to use with your iPhone. To ensure security, two loopholes on each end of the case let you tie on a camera strap, so you can hang it around your neck just like an actual DSLR.

Priced at $190 USD, both Canon and Nikon mounts are available now through Photojojo.
