Dear Berry: Am I Nuts?

Dear Berry: Am I Nuts?

Dear Ma Berry, Am I nuts? I wanted to get your advice. Anya Hindmarch (Designer) and a large Supermarket chain have created a Bag For Life which cost $10. On the front it states "I am not a Plastic Bag" - I have to say it's quite cool. Being a man, I have no need for this but my wife on the other hand has been talking about this for months. They are only making 20,000 so they are rare. So...

Vanessas Corner; BlackBerry Addiction and the Media

Vanessas Corner; BlackBerry Addiction and the Media

Not sure exactly why but the media love to show us how people are addicted to their BlackBerrys. I am not saying this is not a real issue. Indeed many users should start thinking about seeing a therapist when they find themselves having to check their BlackBerry for new email every 2 minutes or so. It’s just that the media seems to love to portray BlackBerry users in a bad light. When a...

A CrackBerry President in 2008?

The Associated Press today released an interesting article today on the US presidential hopefuls and it is quite amazing how many times the name BlackBerry showed up. The article presents the personal side of both Democrat and Republic candidates asking the dozen or so contenders about their pets, what they would have wanted to do in alternate careers and their pet peeves. While Democrats...

BlackBerry Solution For Poor Spellers

BlackBerry Solution For Poor Spellers

Most of the time, when I quickly e-mail friends, the messages look something like this: “Hi, bob. Sure lets meet at Statrbucs at nine oclock. Bring the palns for wrld domination.” Gets the message across, but hardly accurate in terms of spelling. For the quick e-mail to friends that’s fine. But, if you are mailing something important to a business client you need that e-mail to be correct...

Ring2 audio-conferencing solution with BlackBerry remote control

Posted by AllBlackBerry on 28 Apr 2007 12:28 am

If you work in a large corporation, chances are you probably spend a lot of your time reading emails on your BlackBerry and in conference calls using speaker phones like this very nice one from Polycom. Now, I’d much rather sit in on a conference call than fly across the country to attend a meeting in person any day. But you have to admit, conference calling can also be a pain. First, you need to...

MySpaceIM Now Available For The BlackBerry

The instant messaging feature of MySpace, known as 'MySpaceIM' is now available on the BlackBerry. I'm not a huge MySpace fan, never got into it...

With Mother's Day JUST around corner (for those who have forgot it's coming up on Sunday, May 13th), it is time to start thinking Gifts for Mom.

Vorino Carbon Sight Theme Review

Just this morning I installed a new theme on my 8700. The Vorino Carbon Sight Theme ... Picked it up in our store, installed it, and I must say it looks great. The system icons are done very tastefully (I especially like the alarm clock icon), and the background is a nice carbon fibre pattern... You race fans out there will enjoy this one. The default font within the menu system seems to be...

Managing Your Messages - Navigation Tips

If you’re like me, you let your messages pile up on your BlackBerry. I hate deleting messages because I never know when I might want to reference a previous email. Of course, I almost never need to. I just hate throwing anything out, hence the huge pile of mostly untouched stuff in my inbox (and my garage, but that’s another article). The problem is, scrolling through all those messages makes my...
