Exclusive October 11, 2010

One of our solid Sprint guys just shot us over this slide on the upcoming BlackBerry Oxford, the device we first showed the world, and the big news? A release date and price! Here is the breakdown: the BlackBerry Oxford (maybe “Style” wasn’t stylish enough?) is indeed a Sprint exclusive, and is set to launch on October 31st in the color Seattle grey. There will be a purple model being released in the near future, or as Sprint likes to put it, it’s “coming soon”. The BlackBerry 6-powered flip device will run you only $99.99 with a two year agreement after $100 mail-in-rebate. Not a bad price for a 5 megapixel-toting, full QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi and GPS capable EV-DO Rev. A device, right? So let’s hear it — yay or nay on the Oxford, guys?

    sweet phone, nice to see bb rocking innovative designs while the mob battles it out for the cheapest-to-make candy-bar iphone form factor.

      Innovative??? Dood it’s 2010. I was using a flip back 10 years ago. Nothing innovative here.

    This little thing in your pocket wirelessly tethered to your Playbook … might not be a bad deal if thats possible.

    Realize this..outside of Business use.. Blackberry was a personal phase. Been through it. Your friends had one, so you had to have one. Everyone on the bus and the train had one, so you had to have one to show off too. IT’S dying down now. I have the EVO now. EVERYONE can’t afford that!

    Only people that work and have a few extra dollars…lol

    does any body know if it will have a slot for a sim card to be used overseas?

    • Booga Booga

      No, the Blackberry Oxford will not work on any GSM wireless network. BTW Mdle, I left a negative click on your post for the Hell of it. Enjoy your -1.

      • Mndle

        how do you know that where did you get the info or what is your theory why would it not have a sim card slot?

      • Booga Booga

        From the same people who leaked the internal Sprint documentation.

  • Booga Booga

    I’m looking forward to RIM working out the glitches and bugs with their touch screen BBs and release one for Sprint.

  • anonypus

    This thing is not bulky at all. Women will love it.

  • White Women lover

    Dude, we all know if Sprint, Verizon, T-moble offer the BB torch and The storm 2 or 3. BLACK BERRY would dominate the market, like it did with the curve.

    BLACK BERRY Guys set the exclusive Rights to 5 to 6 months and lets DOMINATE THE PHONE MARKET
