Happy Federal Territories day, everyone!
Good morning, everyone, and happy Federal Territories day from all of us here at BBTM! For those of you who live in KL, have a happy holiday today! For those of you who don't... well, you get to celebrate the inauguration of the Sultan, kan?
Hot Off The Press! BlackBerry Bold2 9700 out of stock at BlueCube outlets!
Ahha. Take that, Celcom! :D
Wokay, from info that I've been receiving everywhere, I have to tell all of you that some BlueCube outlets in Malaysia are currently out of stock of the new BlackBerry Bold2 9700 smartphone. I doubt very much that this will inconvenience most of you, as you've probably either gotten your Bold2 already, or are getting one from Maxis under Hotlink Prepaid's amazing Chinese New Year deals.
Personally, I prefer my BlackBerry to stand out from the crowd. That's why I bought a Tour 9630, because not many people know about it and that it also has the upper hand on the Bold 9000. Looks like us new Bold2 users will have to invest in something to make us stand out!

Some Odd Stuff: LaTour, LaTour....
Salam 1Malaysia!
I'm sure everyone here who knows a thing-or-two about BlackBerry Smartphones knows about the BlackBerry Tour 9630. For those of you who don't, I'll tell give you the basic background of the Tour 9630.
RIM BlackBerry make smartphones. And that's a known thing. Now, the thing is, the providers here (first-tier or second-tier) only get the global range. In the States, however, things are a little different.
Do you all know the AT&T Sidekick? I'm sure you do. Its been featured in almost every teen-based series ever shown here on Star World. The Sidekick is exclusive to AT&T, and the Tour is similar. The Tour is exclusive to two or three providers there. Which means, no matter how much you plead to Celcom or DiGi or Maxis, they won't import one for you.
This exclusivity clause however, has its limits. RIM can only provide the Tour to these providers. But that doesn't mean some smart Joe can't pick one up off of, lets say, Verizon Mobile and bring it back here.
And thats exactly what happened.
I, myself, am a proud owner of a Tour 9630. Its just as powerful as the Bold 9000, but in a more svelte & esthetically-pleasing form. With its Javelin-Curve 8900-themed design, it was an instant success. EVERYONE in the States who loves BlackBerry Smartphones picked one up, and they loved the Tour and they loved BlackBerry. Even new BlackBerry 'converts' were absolutely thrilled with the Tour.
At one point, Maxis & DiGi supported the Tour. This, however, has been reduced to just DiGi. I am not at liberty to divulge why exactly this is so, but this is a great thing for DiGi, because Malaysians who fell in love with the Tour (like myself) quickly switched to DiGi.
With its beautiful form, killer processor & amazing media capabilities, the Tour is the flagship that the Bold 9000 was not.
If you're already a DiGi customer, you can pick up a brand new Tour from an 'underground importer' for about RM1,500. Then you can use it happily with the DiGi network.
If you're not a DiGi customer, you're not in love with the Tour, but you like a prospect of a BlackBerry, just pick up the OFFICIAL BlackBerry flagship model, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 at a Maxis dealer near you, while the Chinese New Year offers are still valid. Be quick!

Today, on the 25th of January 2009, BlackBerry Teens Malaysia uploads its first post!
Woot!
Now, BlackBerry Teens Malaysia was set up for one primary goal: To bring together the BlackBerry-loving under-20 community of Malaysia. And through the coming months, you will see that BBTM will stay true to this goal!
This weblog will contain a few categories for every post: "Hot Off The Press!" (our news segment), "BlackBerry Juice!" (our gossip segment), "Hush Hush!" (our 'behind-closed-doors' segment), "Some Odd Stuff" (the segment that tells all you BlackBerry-loving teens about your BlackBerry) and the all important "BlackBerry Review" (which will come out after every recent product launch). Of course, these categories will be altered in the future to fit purposes. Hey, who ever sticks to the original plan?
BBTM, with time & your all important support (!), will grow into a full-on online community, serving the needs of the BlackBerry-Teens of Malaysia.
