BlackBerry Curve 3G enroute to Bell this Thursday
Not to be outdone by Rogers' launch late last week , Bell's shown its support for the new and freshly-launched BlackBerry Curve 3G with news of its own launch this Thursday. Sadly the PR, pricing, and all the glorious renders aren't on hand as of right this minute -- but we've seen the official PR , and as with all things in the newly expanded HSPA+ space up in Canada, pricing should be competitive.

LG Ally release pushed back a week for reasons unknown
You remember those Android 2.1 -powered LG Allys that were supposed to go on sale with Big Red earlier this week ? Yeah, well, they didn't, and Verizon's site is still showing them as pre-orders. We're not sure what's going on there, but pre-orders are being extended through the 26th with sales commencing on the 27th; folks that have already pre-ordered the phone are apparently getting emails explaining the situation and letting them know that they'll be "the first to receive the phone upon initial availability on or after May 27th." The "or after" part there seems to be giving them a loophole in case they need another delay -- so this could be a last-minute software issue, supply problems, some sort of wacky marketing stunt, or a stunning heist involving the theft of every Ally that has been imported to the United States thus far

Keepin’ it real fake, part CCXLXI: Xperia X10 + BlackBerry UI + ??? = profit
Meet the Hero C7000, the closest thing you can get to a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 right now. Problem is, that's not very close -- in place of SE's highly customized Android skin, for example, you'll find a positively delightful rip of RIM's UI for the Storm series on a 3-inch display (as opposed to the genuine X10 article's 4 inches).
