First we had The Bold and Beautiful blackberry 9000 and now Blackberry is sweetening up it’s line up with the new Blackberry 9500 code named : Thunder

The BlackBerry Thunder is, of course, a touch based cell phone that is supposedly 4G ready with LTE and GSM HSPA. It will be exclusive for Verizon ….

Blackberry really seems to be getting it claws out when it comes to defending it’s territory against Apple , eh ?

AT&T announced plans to boost the speed of its 3G wireless network (High speed internet for mobile phones) to speeds of 20 megabits per second in 2009, say it ain’t so !

It so is ! and it gets better:

AT&T’s mobility chief, De la Vega, also said that his firm has “a clear and logical path” to 700MHz 4G access by 2010 , which could theoretically allow 100 megabits per second !

100 megabits per second , eh ? So using the following formula:

Laptop (Macbook preferably) + Bluetooth + 4G capable headset = End of Wifi ??

I’m keeping my ear to the grind stone…
