Good news for all of the Fido BlackBerry wannabes out there. As expected and just like we told you last week, Fido did indeed begin training its employees for the arrival of BlackBerry with a targeted launch date of February 4. Sadly it looks like Fido really is going to start things off with the Pearl 8100, but at least it’s going to allow people to BYOBB. Well, unofficially at least.

The 8100 will go for $400 month-to-month/off contract, $350 on a 2-year, and $25 on a 3-year with voice and data. As for the data plans to be offered, they are as follows:

$15 – Unlimited personal email and IM
$25 – 500MB
$30 – 1GB
$60 – 3GB

Obama possess an BlackBerry for personal use

Yes, we can! Maybe all the hootin’ and hollerin’ about Barack’s quandary regarding the status of his BlackBerry actually ended up helping the President keep the addictive device. For personal use only, Mr. Obama’s BlackBerry will still be in commission, though we do hope he opts to upgrade to a Bold or 8900, at least (give us a call Mr. President, we’ll hook you up)! It will make it more worthwhile since he will be forced to use an awkward and clunky-looking Sectera Edge, which has been approved by the NSA for official use, as a business device. As if this news wasn’t the best free advertising anyone can get, the folks at RIM must be bursting with glee. While we’re all familiar with the device that has been like an appendage for Obama, you might be interested in taking a peek at the Sectera Edge, so hit the jump for an image and details!

Google has been working on a new voice-recognition search application for the iPhone (Google Mobile App) for some time now. Rumor had it that the new app would have launched this past Friday, but sometime on Friday Google found out that Apple wouldn’t be pushing it out, despite getting the thumbs up for Friday earlier in the week.

The good news for Google and all that were eagerly awaiting this app, is it will likely become available come Monday. This news comes from a source with insider knowledge of the situation (according to a report at TechCrunch). Google has apparently had little contact with Apple during this period, and have been getting updates on the situation via the iPhone developer tool which has had a status of ‘in review’ for the last few days.

Rogers Rogers has just released a slew of new BlackBerry data plans for your emailing and browsing pleasure. There’s still no unlimited BIS option, which is a bit confounding given the upcoming unlimited iPhone Data plan, but this is Rogers after all, so we’re not terribly shocked. The new plans breakdown as follows:
