Walmart shows off a BlackBerry 6 Ready Curve 8310 - False advertising at its finest

Posted by Adam Zeis on 25 May 2011 8:32 am
This one definitely made me chuckle a bit. Nigel sent in the above image of an AT&T BlackBerry Curve 8310 on display at a local Walmart. It seems that wires got crossed somewhere as the device is being advertised as BlackBerry 6 Ready. As we all know, the 83xx series will never see BlackBerry 6 (unless Walmart knows something we don't) so it's safe to assume that this tag belongs to...

Humorous FedEx Office Print & Go commercial features two BlackBerry Torches

Posted by Michelle Haag on 16 May 2011 4:55 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] I ran across this commercial for FedEx Office Print & Go today, and while it's not new exactly, I thought it was humorous as well as informative. Who can't use a laugh on a Monday, right? This ad features a couple of business men at FedEx Office, trying to print a document from their boss, using their BlackBerry Torches. It's a clever ad,...

Conan O'Brien has a little fun with The "iDea"

Posted by Michelle Haag on 21 Apr 2011 2:19 pm
We saw Conan use a BlackBerry Torch to tweet during his show back in December of 2010, and last night he mentioned the BlackBerry PlayBook during his opening monologue. He didn't seem to spend much time on the new tablet from RIM, but he did have an amusing iDea for the next offering from Apple. Watch the video above to see what Conan predicts for the competition. Thanks to 2001bmw330xi for...

NYTimes David Pogue Pokes Fun at the PlayBook (video)

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 21 Apr 2011 9:28 am
Ahhh David Pogue. I don't know whether I should kiss you or kick your ass for this one. I guess we'll see what happens the next time we meet. Check out the video above for a little NY Times video skit which shows off the BlackBerry PlayBook hardware, and points out some of its awesome features as well as its current shortcomings, which I hlghlighted in our BlackBerry PlayBook Review. Be sure...

CrackBerry reader Blake does BlackBerry Rap

Posted by Adam Zeis on 12 Apr 2011 9:58 am
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] It's been a bit since we've had a good BlackBerry song come into the tip line, but Blake sent this in today and it made my day. While many users out there love their BlackBerry, it's not often they choose to sing about it and throw it up on YouTube, but Blake did just that. Through his original rap, Blake drops his praises of BlackBerry and...

Standard colors not good enough? Grab an 18 carat gold BlackBerry Torch instead

Posted by Adam Zeis on 31 Jan 2011 10:08 am
If picking up a BlackBerry Torch in red or white isn't your thing, maybe you'll want to spring for an 18 carat gold one instead. This creation from Alexander Amosu will run you a bit more than the normal off-contract price however at about $12,000 USD. The mid plate of this tircked out Torch is solid 18 carat gold, while the rest of the pieces are colored in metallic gold. The unit weighs 38...

Fake of the Week: Knockoff Bold 9000 looking good in red

Posted by Adam Zeis on 25 Jan 2011 9:26 am
This week we have a sweet looking fake that resembles the Bold 9000. While red isn't really my color, I do think this one looks pretty good. As with last weeks fake, this guy "features" a dual SIM, analog TV, Wifi, Bluetooth and an FM tuner. While it does add a bit of flair over the good ol' Bold 9000, I wouldn't go rushing out to pick this one up. As we know well, these may look good but don'...

Funny: Woman falls into fountain at mall while texting

Posted by Adam Zeis on 18 Jan 2011 2:04 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] This one popped up a few days ago and I think its one that is worth seeing. We all know the dangers of texting while driving, but this video shows the danger involved in texting while walking. This woman at a Pennsylvania mall is apparently so oblivious while she looks at her phone that she walks right into the wall of a mall fountain, trips...

Fake of the Week: Knockoff BlackBerry Storm sports touchscreen, analog TV, dual SIM and a trackball!

Posted by Adam Zeis on 14 Jan 2011 10:05 am
  This is probably my favorite fake so far. For all those Storm users that have been wanting a touchscreen AND a trackball - this is for you! This fake was spotted on eBay and sports a dual SIM, analog TV, touchscreen, GPS, Wifi and a trackball. It does have a pretty stylish design and looks to be fairly thin as well. No BBM or the like on this device, but if you're looking for something to...

BlackBerry Pearl Flip shows up on Transformers: Prime

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 14 Jan 2011 9:08 am
On Sunday, I sat down with my son to watch the first episode of Transformers: Prime on Teletoon, in Canada. He loves Transformers and, as a father should, I take part in his interests. Okay, who am I kidding? I think I may have been a little more excited about it than he was. There’s nothing like a little of the standard father–son-Autobot-Decepticon time. Between scenes of robots kicking ro-...
