Well, it seems that Sprint will miss tomorrow’s launch date for the BlackBerry Curve 9350 . A representative of the Network now confirmed the news to us today, stating that the phone will not arrive until next month due to unforeseen circumstances. Although the company has yet to announce a new target date, the anonymous informant, who had originally uncovered the story tells Phone Arena to expect a second arrival in October. Seeing that Sprint already sells two BlackBerry models that are significantly better than the 9350 curve, we hope that you will not lose sleep over the revelation. However, if you have a personal grudge against touch screens, you’d better reset to count down, starting … now.

Using GPS on your phone to guide you through the city streets can sometimes be a painful experience, especially in hot spots of the signal (or when there is a breeze). Fortunately, there is a fantasy novel solution – for some of you at least. Position fidelity is an application specifically for Samsung Mango phones that supercharges the GPS module with two updates to help position. The first uses the onboard accelerometer and compass to help guide the device Windows 7 itself on congested city streets. The second is that it will now access GLONASS – the Russian equivalent of GPS – find your position a few feet. Once installed, the app is only visible in the settings menu, where you need to activate it. We can also expect to see more GLONASS in the future, since the Russian import taxes imposing about 25 percent on any device that is incompatible with the standard Soviet and manufacturers do not want to take a blow of this magnitude on a characteristic that they can use. WP7.5 Samsung owners who want any excuse to celebrate the triumph of Gagarin, Sputnik and Laika can find the software available on the source link below.
