You may not have heard of Rosie Pope, her sophisticated line of maternity clothing, or her prenatal/postpartum/parenting education studios, but Rosie is a BlackBerry person, and she is a great example of BlackBerry People Do. Born in London and now living in New York City, she founded Rosie Pope Maternity in 2008 to help fill a void in the maternity marketplace, offering pregnant women choices for clothing they couldn't find elsewhere. In 2010, Rosie started MomPrep, offering an extensive schedule of classes, workshops, and seminars including prenatal, postpartum and parenting education. She's written books, travels the country giving inspirational seminars for women and new moms, and debuted her own reality TV show in 2011 on Bravo called "Pregnant in Heels". Rosie accomplished all of this and more while being a devoted wife and mom, in fact having 3 kids during this time!
How does Rosie manage this non-stop lifestyle? "I'm obsessive about putting reminders into my BlackBerry. Because when I'm with my kids, I really want to be with them. I put into the BlackBerry any crazy thought I'm having, so I can just schedule it for a different time. I schedule everything!"
How does your BlackBerry help you manage your life? Are you an obsessive scheduler like Rosie, or is there another feature that you couldn't live without? Let us know in the comments or pop over to the forums to discuss the video or your own experiences.

Virgin Atlantic to show off BBM on in-flight ads
Seeing advertising for BBM seems to be pretty thin on the ground as far as I can tell - unless I'm missing something. The word on the street is that the following video was created by UK design company Pope Wainwright for use on Virgin Atlantic flights. We haven't really seen any videos of this sort used by airlines in the past, but this one is a real gem. From the Pope Wainwright...
BlackBerry Taiwan Z10 ad is great but we might be a little biased
When it comes to the BlackBerry ads being run in North America, there has been plenty of talk about how they could be better improved. Now, I'm not overly familiar with how ads are run in Taiwan but one video posted in the CrackBerry Forums from BlackBerry Taiwan certainly got my attention for several reasons. It hooked me by playing off a 'The Devil wears Prada' story line, then got...
Race day for Team BlackBerry at the British Formula 1
The Mercedes AMD Petronas (A.K.A. Team BlackBerry) team are off to a flying start prior to the race today.

You've probably noticed the above Story Maker video. I was...
