After releasing the BlackBerry 9700 “Curve” RIM (Research in Motion) seemed like they had themselves a sold phone which had BlackBerry users pleased and content, but the competition did not let up. Apple released the iPhone 4, HTC the Sprint EVO, and Samsung the Galaxy S which is slowly taking BlackBerry users in a new direction. These three new full touch screen devices didn’t leave RIM with a good position in the touch screen market. The BlackBerry Storm and Storm 2 didn’t leave a big impression in the touch screen market.
RIM still learning the touch screen market decided to give its users the best of both worlds with the launch of the new BlackBerry Torch a touch screen mobile device with a bottom sliding full QWERTY keyboard giving you the feel of the BlackBerry and a touch screen for users who have made the jump to touch.

It can be hard to find a way to keep in touch with friends and family with so many social networking options out there like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Flickr. You have an account for each of them because your friends are scattered across them all. Having to sign into each account to see your friend’s updates and updating your own status on each account can be real hassle.
T-Mobile released a free Android application named Social Buzz that allows you to update your status for Twitter, Facebook, or Myspace all at once; so everyone can see what you’re doing at that exact moment! You can easily configure your settings for how frequently you want your time-line to update or manually check for updates.

We heard this rumor last week and I stopped by my local T-Mobile store to inquire and the rep told me “We don’t know why yet, but we have to open two hours early on June 19”
Today T-Mobile issued an official press release acknowledging all devices free on June 19 and stores opening early across the country. If you need a phone I would wait until Saturday.
This is available for anyone switching to a family plan or activating a new line. There is no mention on people who qualify for upgrades but I would defiantly go in and plead your case on Saturday as mobile providers really need to offer current customers a thank you every now and then.
