Reuters - U.S. mobile phone companies have begun to see substantial returns from delivering data and not just voice, fueled by greater openness on their networks, industry leaders said on Wednesday.

Reuters - A day after announcing a flip-phone version of its popular BlackBerry Pearl, Research In Motion unveiled a spate of consumer-related partnerships on Thursday, continuing its push to capture mainstream customers.

AP - It's hard to remember now, but the first BlackBerry devices weren't phones. They were two-way e-mail pagers that couldn't be used for calls.
