Well, we’re in for a treat from RIM! It seems like a dream come true for any corporate executive with five major product launches in the pipeline to blow your mind away!

The first in line is the 8900 Curve teasing your senses with its suave, sensual design and elegant exterior. Fully loaded, this device is a perfect successor to the 8300 series. The 480 x 360 display is a visual treat while there’s also a microSD with 16GB support, Wi-Fi, integrated GPS and 3.2-megapixel camera with auto focus. If the EDGE speed fails to excite you, then you can always shift your attention to the Bold. But for the moment, the 8900 Curve is all set to rock Germany this month for €4.95.

Yes, you’ve heard it absolutely right! The all new Blackberry Bold (9000) a.k.a Thunder (9500) is touted to house the Blackberry OS 4.6.

Microsoft buying RIM Blackberry is as impossible and baseless as the previous rumors about Microsoft buying Yahoo! Though Microsoft has been mentioned as the possible buyer, especially in the event that Google announced its interest in producing mobile phone operating systems. Google’s new system is sure to ruffle a few Microsoft feathers as it blatantly competes with the Windows Mobile powered devices launched by Microsoft! RIM Blackberry service is now available for Windows Mobile users as they can install it via the Blackberry Connect Software. RIM also has Virtual Blackberry for Windows Mobile in the pipeline which is open to Gmail users too (thanks to the agreement with Google). RIM has the unique edge over Microsoft by its ability to push email from all service providers while the latter is limited severely to Microsoft Exchange Services. For more details, click here!

Taiwan’ popular handset dealer, E-Ten Information Systems and ODM Handset Manufacturer , Arima Communications will sign an agreement to develop the Ericsson Mobile Platform (EMP) powered 3G and 3.5G Smartphones! The very first device made post agreement is X800- a 3.5G Smartphone is all set to hit the market this year end! The X800 is all set to support HSDPA, GPS and Wi-Fi Technologies. There is also a major plan to launch four such devices before the year ends! E-Ten is aiming a total shipping of a whopping 300,000-400,00 units for the year and also outsource the production of 3G and 3.5G models to Arima and still continue outsourcing 2G models to Quanta Computers!

Arima are bound to ship around 400,000 ODM Smartphones this year resulting in 13-15% of the  projected revenues for the company for this fiscal year! A total of 1.78 million handsets were shipped in the last half of the year which was an increment from the 1.66 million shipped during the first half! But when compared to the previous year, the first half shipment of 3.44 million units had fallen down to 61.2% from the earlier year! Arima has shown revenue of NT$6.31 billion (US$ 192 million) in the first half and this indicated a decline of 62.6% from the same period in 2006! Hopefully, the new agreement would improve the shipping woes of Arima!
