Bold Delays and JavaScript Dismays | A bit of a slower week newswise, though still plenty of interesting Bold-related stuff, including upcoming ATT availability, OS 4.6 browser speeds, as well as some fresh pricing info on the BlackBerry 8220 and some more confusion on the BlackBerry 9500's naming scheme. This is Simon's last podcast on BBCool, so you better soak it all in. | 8/29/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

BlackBerry Bold week in Canada | The BlackBerry Bold finally launched in Canada this week, but spotty attendance at Rogers outlets and potential 3G coverage issues could rain on the parade. Best Buy and Future Shop are getting their stock imminently, and it may be up to them to salvage the situation in RIM's home and native land. The BlackBerry 8220 and BlackBerry 8210 that were once known as the Kickstart have begun popping up on a few sites, potentially confirming the mid-September launch date. We go over all these stories and more in this week's BlackBerry Cool Podcast. | 8/22/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Canadian Pricing and Developer Challenges | This week have fun taking it to the Canadian wireless industry not only for overpriced the overpriced BlackBerry Bold on Rogers, but also for the unopposed text message charges by Telus and Bell. A lot of different upcoming devices are touched on, including the flip BlackBerry 8220 (a.k.a the Kickstart), the newly-scoped iDEN BlackBerry 8350, as well as a new feature in the BlackBerry Javelin. There's plenty more where that came from - just subscribe! | 8/15/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Kickstart Madness and the Q3 lineup | The flip BlackBerry now known as the Pearl 8220 is the big story this week, along with plenty of other info regarding Rogers' plans for BlackBerry Bold and the slightly less-appreciated BlackBerry Curve with Wi-Fi. Lots of talk regarding their rebranded UMA service, Talkspot, but we also hit on Verizon and Telus getting the BlackBerry Thunder, and Virgin Mobile's entry into the Canadian BlackBerry scene. | 8/8/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Blackberry Bold launch parties and musical Thunder | As usual, this week's BlackBerry Cool Podcast features a few tidbits about the BlackBerry Thunder, BlackBerry Kickstart and BlackBerry Bold, but we've also got some fresh colours from Bell and T-Mobile on the way. We're also giving you a snippet of Doug's talk with Andy Brown of Strategy Analytics. Andy was at the UK Bold launch and had the opportunity to interview RIM's co-CEO Mike Lazaridis. | 8/1/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Touchscreens and the BlackBerry Bold | The BlackBerry Thunder and iPhone 3G were both huge news items last week. There are lots of numbers on the 'net to refute the iPhone's hype, while the BlackBerry faithful are sticking to their guns and holding out for the BlackBerry Bold. 'ome more pictures of the BlackBerry Thunder have also floated up, showing off the on-screen keypad and media player, as well as a massive false start by Expansys. This week a lot of stuff was ramping up to a BlackBerry Bold launch, primarily in the form of OS 4.6 software. | 7/25/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

BlackBerry Thunder Questions, IM Head-to-Head and The Smartphone Challenge | It certainly wasn't a quiet week at BlackBerry Cool HQ. With barely any time to recover from back-to-back national holidays, we learned that Bell and Telus are trying to charge us for incoming SMS, the BlackBerry Thunder may not be the BlackBerry Thunder, and the BlackBerry Javelin may be here before Christmas. Oh, and let's not forget the release of the sequel to the most hyped mobile device, ever. On the home front, Simon was able to piece together the mother of all BlackBerry IM client reviews while also providing an in-depth guide to everything you'd want to know about The Smartphone Challenge (trust us, this is something you want to know about). | 7/12/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

BlackBerry Cool Podcast: TeleNav Track | TeleNav, most prominently known for their navigation services, have branched into commercial GPS tracking to help enterprises keep tabs on assets, remote workers and vehicles. Their experience with the consumer market has certainly helped them with their latest TeleNav Track product, but have met plenty of new challenges here. We take some time with Sal Dhanani from TeleNav to talk shop about GPS and enterprise. | 7/4/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

BlackBerry Cool Podcast: Vlingo | I talked with Vlingo CEO Dave Grannan prior to their announcement of Vlingo last week, and was pretty pumped for the product - after all, voice activation on your BlackBerry is a pretty awesome idea. Although the launch has encountered a few bumps, and I'm still training Vlingo like a naughty puppy to recognize my authority, our talk still gives you a run-through of what Vlingo is about and what kind of future features we can expect in the future. I for one still hold a lot of hope for the application, even though it's not running perfectly just yet. | 7/4/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

BlackBerry Cool Podcast: Get Connected Fairly Act | I was going to sit on this one until next week's podcast, but it was just too good to hold out on. Member of Parliament David McGuinty is heading up a little something called Bill C-555 (a.k.a the Get Connected Fairly Act), which is aiming to eliminate extraneous wireless costs like data overages and system access fees for Canadian consumers and enterprises in the hopes of increasing adoption and overall quality of life. Best part of all? He wants all Canadian mobiles to be unlocked. A noble cause indeed, and one that BBCool is most certainly behind. If you've got 13 minutes, it's always awesome to hear about the Canadian wireless landscape sucking just a little bit less. Go ahead and Learn more about Bill C-555 and even sign the petition if you're north of the border. | 6/26/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Rogers also got some new data plans which just fall short of unlimited, but also offer the BlackBerry 8820, which will nicely take advantage of their UMA service. To cap it all off, we shift gears away from developer interviews, and chat with two specialists out of California: Brian Boxer Wachler, eye specialist; and Glenn Cohen, hand surgeon. Learn not only the physical effects of your BlackBerry habits, but what the experts have to say on device design. | 6/20/08 | Free | View In iTunes |
