Thought Piece: The Danger of Facebook for BlackBerrys

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 29 Oct 2007 10:27 am
BlackBerry + Facebook App + Partying = Trouble That was the valuable lesson (err... equation) I learned this weekend. Friday night was Halloween party night for me and I dressed up as a BlackBerry-addicted Superman to take in all the festivities. Well, I guess the aim was just to be Superman, but as a full-fledged BlackBerry addict it was impossible to leave my phone at home. I don't...

BlackBerry Causes Phantom Vibrations? YES. Don't Forget the Phantom Rings and Phantom LEDs too!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 11 Oct 2007 9:06 am
The Associated Press published a story yesterday on BlackBerrys and Phantom Vibrations. What's a Phantom Vibration? Basically you feel a vibration on your hip or wherever you normally wear your BlackBerry, but in actuality it's all in your head - the phone is not vibrating (in some cases the BlackBerry is not even close to you!). Research in the area is scant, but theories abound about...

The Evolution of BlackBerry in Pictures

Posted by AllBlackBerry on 1 Oct 2007 9:37 pm
Lately, RIM has been releasing new devices every few months and they just keep getting better and better. Seeing all the new capabilities made me think back to not all that long ago when a BlackBerry was just a cool little 2-way pager with a keyboard. Oh how things have changed. Take a walk back with me all the way to 1999. Gaze in wonder at the dawn of the BlackBerry revolution as I present...

The BoeingBerry Project - BlackBerrys Help Deaf Employees Communicate At Winnipeg Boeing Plant

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 13 Sep 2007 10:05 am
No blogs from me yesterday as I spent the better part of it in airports and on airplanes as I traveled home to Winnipeg from Florida (where I got to hangout with the awesome Smartphone Experts team for a few days). But even though BlackBerry representation was one Winnipegger short for a day, a fitting made-in-Winnipeg BlackBerry story hit the news... Marty Rabu, a tooling technician at a...

AT&T BlackBerry 8820 GPS Fear Mongering Unfounded

  Jibi, a legend in the BlackBerry world and owner of the coolest online 'handle', has set the record straight on all of the BlackBerry 8820 GPS 'Neutering' stories of the past two weeks. For those out of the loop, it started with BlackBerry Cool's August 16th Exclusive, which  spread word that the soon-to-be-released BlackBerry 8820 would have its GPS 'neutered', which if believed as read,...

My AT&T Curve Doesn't Have GPS! What The?!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 17 Aug 2007 1:43 pm
This is a strange story that popped up in the in CrackBerry Forums. It seems AT&T has a picture of a BlackBerry Curve on their website that features an icon for integrated GPS. Want to see it for yourself? Click this link, open the 360 degree demo, then click on Features and highlight the GPS icon. Can we launch a class-action lawsuit? Just kidding. I have an AT&T Curve and want...

I saw Transformers last night, and it was AWESOME. It's been a while since I've been to a movie that received a standing ovation afterwards, but that was the case with Transformers. I give the movie a 5 outta 5. It's a must-see for anyone who grew up with Autobots and Decepticons in their vocabulary. I could probably spend an hour talking about it, but I don't want to ruin anything...just go...
