overspecify
In this case, I would guess that the writer means that the Blackberry service had more than enough capacity or bandwidth or similar.
Example sentence:
To be safe, he overspecified the size of the supporting beams.

sheer size
This looks like non-technical language referring to the vast amount (or diversity) of the content, so a non-technical translation would fit best, I think.
Something like:
What stands out is the sheer size of the Blackberry service offer.
'size', 'volume', or even 'enormity' - or perhaps 'diversity'

Overdimensioning and dimensioning are telecommunications terms. They also are used in other contexts, but context of this question (which deals with BlackBerry service) is definitely telecommunications.
