Blackberry Curve 9320 spotted in the Wild,Might be a successor to the Curve 3G

We have seen the BlackBerry Curve 9320 before being handled by BGR.in in India and once again we have some more hands-on pictures, this time from Sohoa in Vietnam

The phone looks similar to the recently announced Curve 9220 but features a matte silver trim around the front edges which gives it a more upmarket look compared to the spartan 9220.

You also get some additional features over the Curve 9220. The camera has been upgraded from 2 megapixel to 3.2 megapixel and now has an LED flash. The 9320 also adds 3G HSPA connectivity that the 9220 lacks. Otherwise the two phones seem identical.
The Curve 9320 should be launched soon in India and other Asian markets such as Vietnam and Indonesia and probably even in the US on T-Mobile's network. For more images, click on the source link below.

Blackberry Enterprise server now supports managing iPhones and Droids too

The solution will allow enterprises manage Android and iOS based devices, allowing users to now carry his Apple or Android phone to office and use office network.

Research In Motion, the maker of Blackberry phones, has launched a mobile device management (MDM) solution for enterprise customers. This solution, called BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, will allow enterprises manage Android and iOS based devices too. Hence, it brings the much needed flexibility for the office goers to take his/her Apple or Android phone to office and use office network.

Earlier, the Blackberry enterprise server used to allow security and management of only BlackBerry phones. Since, security of data is a big issue for enterprises, companies usually prevented employees from using their personal Android and iOS based devices in office network. However, the new BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, which is also based on Blackberry enterprise server, allows enterprises manage both Android and iOS based phones in a secured manner.
This new software provides a single, unified, web-based console for easy management of devices.
Blackberry has been losing market share in the smartphone market even in strong markets like India where it has been the device of choice for businesses. However, enterprises continued to be skeptical of Android and iOS devices due to security concerns.
This meant that often people had to buy BlackBerry phones out of compulsion but with this new solution, enterprises might allow their employees the freedom of choosing a phone of their choice.
Since 90 per cent of the Fortune 500 companies use BlackBerry enterprise server, this will be a great news for people working in these companies.

RIM to offer BB10 prototypes to developers

RIM is preparing a new OS - called BlackBerry 10 - to replace the two current OSes that it uses (BB OS 7 on phones and Tablet OS on the PlayBook). The BB OS 10 will launch late this year, but app developers can look forward to playing with it sooner - 2000 developer prototypes running a version of the OS will be given to the attendees of the BlackBerry Jam conference taking place in early May.




RIM’s VP of developer relations, Alec Saunders, says that the prototypes will have a very different user experience compared to the finalized BlackBerry 10 OS as they are intended to be just tools to help developers port their apps to the new platform.
The BlackBerry PlayBook‘s OS is reportedly similar to what BB 10 will be and that will make porting PlayBook apps to the new OS easy. Saunders says his goal is that “every single PlayBook app works on BB10”.
That‘s good, but what’s with RIM’s reluctance to show what the finalized OS will look like? Saunders says this is intentional as they want to take time and build up interest before launching the OS.
