Not the 9100, of course. We don&#8217;t have much longer to wait on that one, and it figures to come as expected. But there was a patent filing recently that placed your basic 12-key buttons on a BlackBerry Pearl. I don&#8217;t see the point, and let you know exactly why, in excruciating detail, on the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Also, an issue with the Tour OS 5.0 update. When I hit my lock key the screen goes blank, as if I went into standby mode. No buttons light up the screen except escape. This is only slightly annoying, and will likely save a little battery life. But has anyone else encountered it? If so, how to fix? I&#8217;ve poked around a bit in options and haven&#8217;t seen anything to that effect.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to pay for apps on your cell phone bill, you&#8217;ll be able to soon. You can now, even, if you have a Storm2. Verizon has released its own app store and plans to integrate it on more BlackBerry models in the near future. Will it beat out App World?<\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
