We missed this one a few days back now but in any event this should cheer some Fido users up if you are not already using an unlocked BlackBerry on the Rogers owned carrier. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is set to arrive sometime in this quarter as mentioned over at Howard Forums.
"Fido will be launching the 8520 in Black. It will be part of the Q1 launch. No word on what date exactly, however the SKU has been loaded into the system."
That about says it all right there really but just to follow it up a little more we've now heard this information from numerous sources, so the chances of this one happening are pretty good. And it's about time really, Fido has been pushing BlackBerry Pearl 8100s ever since they re-launched their BlackBerry offerings back in Feburary of 2009. Shout out to all the people who sent this in.

You might remember a week or two back now we posted that Fido was set to get the BlackBerry Curve 8520, SKUS were loaded into the system yet, no official release date was available. So all...

How to unlock your BlackBerry Z10 from Canadian carriers!
Since the BlackBerry Z10 went on sale yesterday in Canada, the CrackBerry forums and twitter have been a buzz with questions on if and how the Z10 can be unlocked.
