Although the nation’s No. 3 carrier has announced plans to launch a WiMAX network and is looking at an array of options to help drive the technology into ubiquity, Sprint Nextel Corp. today announced that its CDMA2000 1x EV-DO Revision A network continues to expand and now covers more than 203 million people nationwide. The carrier added that the service is available in more than 10,000 cities and 900 airports.

Not to be outdone, Verizon Wireless responded with some numbers of its own claiming its Rev. A network covers 208 million pops across the country.

In other news, Sprint Nextel announced it will be expanding its Right Plan Promise from three to six months, enabling customers to make changes to their service plans within the first six months of new service without requiring a contract renewal.

Nokia E90 support pages published

Nokia has today published the support pages for the upcoming E90. Going by past experience, this means the sim-free E90 will probably become available in European shops within the next week or two (many Finnish retailers have guessed at a launch date of 12th June). The release dates for network-locked and non-European markets are less predictable.

Nokia buy ruin ...err i mean Buy RIM

File this one under rumors for the time being, but a rather reputable electronics industry mag seems to think that Nokia might be gearing up to make a bid for RIM. The statement was mentioned in passing, with the exact quote reading:

"There were other rumors last week. Oracle was rumored to make a bid for SAP, Nokia would make a bid to buy Research in Motion, and Tokyo Electron Ltd. (TEL) would buy Lam Research Corp., according to SG Cowen Securities Inc. (New York)."
As far as we can tell, this is pretty much coming out of the blue, so we have reason to doubt its legitimacy. That being said, the source has a long history of accurate reporting, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. Stay tuned for more information if it materializes. In the mean time, what are your thoughts on a potential merger between the Finnish juggernaut and the Canadian underdog?

Blackberry Curve sponsor John Mayer summer Tour


We spent some time with John Mayer as he prepared for his tour. We've got exclusive photos and a video interview with John talking about his plans for the tour.Notice the curve in his hand
In a first for both sponsor and sponsoree, BlackBerry will present John Mayer`s upcoming North American tour, Billboard has learned. Portable communication device BlackBerry will use the Mayer tour to help launch its upcoming AT&T-carried mobile phone, Curve.


The 40-date BlackBerry Presents John Mayer in Concert tour begins June 1 in Ridgefield, Wash., with Ben Folds supporting. Live Nation is promoting the majority of dates on the tour and reports that sales are strong in the early going.


Paul Kalbfleisch, senior director of corporate marketing for BlackBerry parent Research in Motion (RIM), says recent additions to the BlackBerry product line such as Pearl and the new Curve make live music a viable avenue to reach consumers in search of devices with plenty of capabilities.


"John Mayer`s concert tour gives us that venue and that context to talk about BlackBerry to a group of people that maybe we haven`t talked to before, and to make them think about how BlackBerry fits into their whole life, not just their work life," Kalbfleisch says.


Mayer`s demo fits the BlackBerry target, Kalbfleisch adds. "We`re able to reach out to a new audience, maybe a slightly younger audience in their 20s, without at all alienating the existing BlackBerry audience," he says.


In activating the campaign, BlackBerry will launch a site highlighting the tour and the company`s relationship with Mayer. Marketing in traditional and new media are part of the promotion, as is an on-site presence at concert venues. Consumer-interactive contests are being finalized, and BlackBerry will host VIP parties and backstage meet-and-greets at shows.


"On-site during every concert we`ll have the ability to showcase and demonstrate BlackBerry Curve, along with our carrier partner AT&T, so that people coming to the concerts will see, touch and feel our product, learn what it has to offer them, take pictures with it, have a little bit of fun with it," Kalbfleisch says. "We will have the ability to interact with the audience without interfering with the concert itself."


Live event sponsorship, particularly music events, has experienced huge growth in the past few years as marketers struggle to reach consumers in an efficient way. So why is BlackBerry just now getting into the tour sponsorship game?


"The product offering and our strategy had to be in line with reaching out to this type of audience," says Kalbfleisch, who says the BlackBerry reach is now broad and the brand more mainstream than it was only a few years ago. "The entertainment world and more unique opportunities started to make sense to us now. Two years ago it probably wasn`t time yet."
