It looks like T-Mobile UK is ramping up to launch the BlackBerry Curve 9320. Watchful CrackBerry member Cemil pointed out to us that the accessories website for T-Mobile UK now has a page set up for the unofficial device, leading us to believe that at some point in the near future the device will not only be announced, but released as well. It looks like at this time the accessories listed are fairly generic (ie chargers, headphones, car kits, etc) but it's a good start. You can check out the updated BlackBerry 2012 roadmap for an idea of when this device and others should be available this year.

In 2003, Mike Lazaridis and his wife Ophelia bought a 51-hectare bit of property on the shore of Lake Huron. The property was purchased for a paltry $800,000, formerly planned for a subdivision that had never been built. Five Canadian architectural firms competed in 2005 to win the contract to design the project, with Toronto-based Hariri Pontarini Architects coming out on top. Construction began in August of 2006, but progress has been slow as Mike hasn't had much time to devote to the project.

Calling all hockey fans! If you're looking for app that contains a wealth of information concerning all things relating to this great winter sport then look no further than The Liam Maguire Ultimate Hockey Experience by AGS Advanced Software, Inc. Liam Maguire is Canada's foremost hockey trivia expert and this free application combines news, trivia, chat, video and Wayne Gretzky Authentic Sponsored memorabilia prizes to help you stay on top of all the action as it happens. If you answer correctly the trivia question of the day (for only $.99 per try) you'll get 2 entries into the monthly signed memorabilia draw.
Hockey fans will be able to speak directly to Liam Maguire using the Ask The Expert and built-in chat system. I must warn you there is a fee (determined by which response time is selected) for asking Liam any NHL related question. Good news is the chat system is absolutely free and is cross platform so you can speak with other hockey fans around the globe whether they're using a BlackBerry, iPhone, or Android device including Liam himself. Once a week he'll provide his insights on past games and future matchups and anything hockey related.
Again, while there are charges to join the daily trivia challenge and ask the expert it's perfect for staying on top of all hockey related news items with their free RSS feed, chat room, and Liam's weekly video wrap ups and interviews. You can check it out in BlackBerry App World and it's compatible with most BlackBerry devices running OS5 and higher.

I am always up for a puzzle game though Room Escape is a bit much for me. Still I have been hearing about it nonstop for the last month or two since Ivywire released it so it cannot hurt to mention it. Both parts of the game have you clicking around a room trying to find a way to escape from the mysterious room. Its sort of fun and frustrating at the same time and reminds me of a modern day Kings Quest.
