Are you looking for a GPS replacement? Do you go for the “stand-alone?” Do you use a Bluetooth GPS Puck? Or do you opt for the Freedom Keychain GPS?

Manufactured by Freedom Input , I have listened to and read some glowing reviews on this remarkably small device. In fact, I'd recomment checking out the Podcast Review of the the Freedom Mini GPS Keychain done back in October by Leo Laporte on the Daily Giz Whiz show. Leo actually picked up his Freedom Keychain from the ShopCrackBerry.com store (his favorite BlackBerry store by the way!). CrackBerry.com's sibling site, TreoCentral.com, also posted an informative review of this device that's worth a read.

While the Freedom Keychain Puck has a great reputation, I'm still the kind of guy who holds an opinion until getting some hands-on experience, so I waited for the puck to arrive with anticipation.

The "Must Have" Bluetooth Headset

You know when you see a piece of gadgetry that just makes you say ”I have to get me one of them” – Well that’s what happened when I saw the Motorola H9 MiniBlue. After receiving the H9 in its big packaging, I have been in awe of the size of this Bluetooth Headset.

Big Performance in a Low-Priced Package
Experienced wireless communications manufacturer Cardo Systems Inc have added yet another strong contender to the Bluetooth headset market with the Scala-700. An elegant device voted “Best Bluetooth Headset” among 17 leading brands by Germany’s most prestigious trade journal (Mobil News, July 2006), the Scala-700 packs a lot of performance into a very affordable package. With an MSRP of $79.95 (available in the CrackBerry store for $34.95), this truly is a headset for all budgets.

Quality Doesn't Have to Mean Expensive
Every BlackBerry user should try and protect their device rather than see it get ruined by constant use (or is it abuse?!). Between top pouches, side pouches, holsters, hard cases, skins and more, a plethora of choices are available that can more than adequately do the job. With each style of casing having its own pros and cons, you may find yourself having to try a few different options out before ultimately finding the perfect case that works best for your particular needs.

The time had come for me to try an open face leather case. When I received Smartphone Expert’s Open Face Case for my BlackBerry 8800, I knew I knew I was looking at a winner – with a price tag of only $19.95, I could immediate tell this case offered great value. The Cream/Brandy combination I received looks rich, but like all Smartphone Experts cases the Open Face Leather case comes in a variety of popular colors. And if you're not an 8800 user, don't worry - Smartphone Experts also offers this case for the BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Pearl.

Fashionable Doesn’t Mean Poor Quality…
A big fan and long-time user of the Nokia BH-700 Bluetooth Headset, I was excited to get my hands on the Nokia BH-800 and put it to the test. A high-end headset (MSRP: $179.95, ShopCrackBerry: $89.95) with one of the best battery life’s around, the BH-800 weighs in at only 9g, which is light enough for Nokia to claim the use of the included ear loop to be “optional”. Looking at the specs of the BH-800, it’s clear the Finnish company has created a strong competitor to some of the other leading headsets on the market and from previous experience with Nokia Bluetooth headsets I know their claims aren’t hyped.

Finally, I am able to reveal the availability of a new case, designed essentially for the BlackBerry 8800, but that also fits the BlackBerry Curve. I have been using the RexRegina Morgan Case, in Black Lizard Embossed Leather trim, for about 4 weeks now after what was a lengthy yet very productive creation time on RexRegina's end. The production effort was worth it! RexRegina have made several cases that will, in my opinion, fend off competitors.

First Impression
We have all seen a line of quality leather pouches, cases, etc. but on arrival of the Pouch from RexRegina, I was left almost stunned. The Italian leather really stands out, which isn't a total surprise when you consider most of the leather cases currently on the market are made with the less expensive Asian Leathers (most of them are merely surface painted, instead of being aniline dyed). The Morgan case is available in three embossed leather finishes: Lizard, Crocodile, and Vegetable Tanned.
