One of the owners of the BlackBerry8800.com domain has just written me that BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion recently contacted him about acquiring the name.

A deal has been worked out.

Cas Thompson, the domain name owner who contacted me, says that the transaction was very smooth and needless to say, BlackBerry now ons the name.

"Last but not least is... (RIM) has huge plans for the site," Cas writes. "This product (BlackBerry 8800) will be available very very soon."

As of now, though, the site BlackBerry8800.com is still in a state of flux.

"The Site is still sitting on our DNS servers at 1and1.com," Cas writes, "so the forwarding is still directed to discoverblackberry.com but all registrar info has shifted to RIM... "It will be another 45 days before they can move the DNS and do their own thing with it."

Now, if you turn the page I will show you what's changed.

Not a hint of RIM.

Oh, but now:

How things have changed! And yes, the DNS Servers will be moved.
