Europeans Happier This Morning

Europeans Happier This Morning

European BlackBerry and mobile phone users have long complained about the phone fees they have to pay while traveling in other countries. That is about to change. The BBC reports this morning that the cost of making mobile phone calls in Europe is set to fall substantially after lawmakers backed plans to cap roaming charges. The cost mobile customers are charged by providers for using their...

BlackBerry 8800 Makes PC World Top100

Posted by Remik Szul on 22 May 2007 11:00 pm

PC World put out their annual Top100 devices list. Their staff went over the list of electronic devices in 2007 and the BlackBerry 8800 scored an impressive fifth spot putting it among some elite electronic devices from this past year. Not a bad showing for RIM - the 8800 came in just behind the craze-of-the-year Nintendo Wii (which everyone and their mother wants) and the Intel Core 2 Duo (...

Where is That Wascally Curve?

Where is That Wascally Curve?

Research In Motion (RIM) announced the BlackBerry Curve weeks ago, so where are the little devices? People are getting anxious. And I have a few hundred bucks in my pocket burning a hole. It has been speculated that the blogosphere forced RIM to announce the release earlier than the company had wanted. But that said, it has been a couple of weeks and no one except a few lucky individuals has...

Backgammon King for BlackBerry

Backgammon King for BlackBerry

Something embarrassing happened to me this week. I was asked to review Backgammon King by Magmic and I have to admit it here, I never played the game of Backgammon before. Sure I’ve heard about it just like everyone I guess but I had no clue how to play. For the Backgammon pros here impatient to find out if this BlackBerry version is any good, bear with me for a few lines while I enlighten the...

Need a Break From Your 'Berry? - Try 2 Devices on 1 Number!

A BlackBerry for business use during the day... A regular ol' cellphone for use in the evenings... What a novel idea! Don't get me wrong now. I LOVE my BlackBerry. But sometimes I wish I could put it away and use one of those regular, slim, fit in your back-pocket cellphones for the evening! Perhaps I'm ignorant or un-educated on the matter, but I did some research today, and it turns out...

The Great Plural BlackBerry Debate

The Great Plural BlackBerry Debate

So what do we call our little devices if we find we have more than one of them? BlackBerries or BlackBerrys? The stress of it all. This debate has caused some considerable uproar in the office. In fact, an office-wide schism has opened up pitting the cult of “ies” against the “ys” and it threatens to rip asunder the whole CrackBerry.com organization. OK that’s a bit of hyperbole, but we...

Dear Berry: Lunch With an Addicted Co-Worker

Dear Berry: Lunch With an Addicted Co-Worker

Dear Berry, First of all, I'm not a BlackBerry owner, nor I have ever used one. However, I work in an office environment where there are a few who love their CrackBerry.  Usually it doesn't bother me at all and other times I feel jealous (since they can check and respond to their email while on the go, and I can't).  Usually I'm quite tolerant of others but today I observed some disturbing...

Pocket PC Versus BlackBerry

Pocket PC Versus BlackBerry

We came across this interesting blog post this morning. Jon Collins muses on the relative benefits of pocket pcs and BlackBerries and finally comes down on the side the Berry “Certain events can cause the need for a quick decision: it is strange how a single incident can completely upturn one’s perspective on things. It all started quite innocuously, as I was looking into changing mobile...

Stones Getting No Satisfaction From RIM

Research in Motion is under somebody's thumb and can’t get a break. The maker of our beloved BlackBerry is now getting hauled into court by The Rolling Stones of all people. Mick, Keith, Ron and Charlie were allegedly signed to promote a special version on the BlackBerry but the deal was never followed through. Presumably it was a BlackBerry with a big tongue and lips on it with an extra...
