So here’s the deal, I am due for an upgrade on my beloved Blackberry Curve but I’m going to be a very good girl (which is unusual for me) and I’m going to be patient (also unusual for me) and hold out for the Javelin… aka the new Curve. 

 I did think about going for Bold which does have a very nice screen but it’s just too damn big and boyish (not something i say often).  Then there’s the Storm which is sexier but for me personally, the amount of time I spend sending emails, I need a serious keyboard and a touch screen just doesn’t cut it.  And it could never replace my iPhone. Oh no, not ever.

 It seems to me, the new Curve 8900 looks like the perfect solution. Similar size to the current Curve but with the looks, keyboard and sexy screen of the Bold. Details are sketchy at the moment but it should be available in a month or two. As soon as I find out more, you will be the first to know, hopefully out in time for Christmas, yeh!

The new Blackberry Bold aka Blackberry 9000 is very sexy looking, it just seems curvier, more elegant than previous models and it has a really nice looking display.

Fancy changing the colour ? It has replaceable leatherette blackplates that come in blue, red and grey depending on where your mood takes you - allbeit fairly boring colours!  

There are a lot of wireless options too including integrated WiFi, HSDPA support and built in GPS. It also has a  2 megapixel camera and  video recording. You get 1gb of onboard memory, 128mb of flash memory but if you’re still left wanting more there is also an SD expanision slot.

It’s not available as yet but when I get more details you’ll be the first to know, I want one, me me me !

Dimensions

• Height - 4.5″
• Width - 2.6 “

Ok so we all love our Blackberries, it’s sad and geeky I know, but if we could pimp them up a bit how cool would that be. Fancy having it a different colour ? Yep, I’m up for a bit of that which is exactly what colorwarepc.com does.

You can choose from your favourite colours or even pick your own colour combination on the front, back, sides and bottom.

Available in a high gloss, scratch resistant finish you can choose from a solid, pure colour effect or if you like sparkles you can go for the metallic finish. Prices start at $99 for one colour throughout and $15 per addition on the back, sides and bottom.

Phew! all these options but they look really good and you can even get your iPod and laptop done while your at it! Only downside is you would have to part with your beloved blackberry for it to get painted. Boo hoo!

Running out of battery on my phone, iPod or Tom Tom is really annoying whether at home or abroad, but now help is at hand.

With green being the new black the new freeloader portable solar charger means you can power your gadgets without plugging them in so you can tick the box of helping the planet!!

How does it work? well, open up this slim device ,point it at the sun and within around 5-10 hours you have a fully charged device that can power an iPod for up to 18 hours, a PSP for up to 2.5 hours and a mobile phone for up to 44 hours! (neat!)

But I hear you say what with the great British Summer how will I ever charge it. Well don’t worry you can also charge it via a USB cable which will take 3-4 hours.

Once charged the battery will then hold its charge for up to 3 months. Tough, stylish and impact resistant this little thing is also very compact, only 12 cm long, 6 wide 1.5 deep plus it comes with adaptors to charge the following gizmos:

• LG Chocolate series phones,
• 2 adaptors for Nokia mobiles,
• 2 adaptors for Samsung mobiles,
• Sony Ericsson mobiles;
• 4mm straight jack plug for PSP, Tom Tom sat nav, digital cameras etc;
• Mini USB adaptor for Motorola RAZR, Blackberrys etc;
• a USB 2.0 female socket for MP3 players and PDA’s;
• an iPod adaptor;
• an adaptor for Nintendo DS Lite.

If you want in pink then no problem but I think I prefer the grey and it costs around £29.99.
