Google Voice Local Search

This isn’t exactly BlackBerry specific, but it was so cool I thought it would be interesting to talk about anyway. Google Labs has a new (experimental) service to search for local businesses over the phone. It works from any phone and it’s a free service. Just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) and say the city and state you want a listing from. Then just say what you are looking for. You can...

RIM Dominating the Handheld Market

Check out this groovy little chart we found recently. It clearly shows the dominance of RIM in today's current handheld market. Are there going to be any contenders to the throne in the coming year? Apple with its iPhone? Nokia with the new N800 and E62 models? Time will tell. But so far, all signs appear to be pointing in RIM's direction. In the next year or two, we predict that RIM will...

Good Day at RIM

As we reported earlier in the week, things are looking rosy over at Research In Motion headquarters. The BlackBerry maker reported a significantly higher fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday. If there is a dark cloud in Waterloo this morning, it is over news that the informal inquiry by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission into RIM stock-option grants, which led to an earning...

Canadian Rates a Travesty?

Sometimes it sucks to be a Canadian. Really. Crappy weather for half the year and only three Canadian teams made the NHL playoffs. And to make matters worse we reportedly get to pay more, way more, to our BlackBerry carriers. According to Thomas Purves at his blog, Canada is worse than many third world countries when it comes to the cost of mobile data access. As you can see from the chart...

Palm Pins Hopes on New Wave

Either the good folks over at Palm are putting a good spin on their current situation and trying to beautify themselves for potential suitors, or they really don’t care about all the takeover talk that has been going on for months. Today, Palm said growth in sales of their Treo devices in Europe and Asia has given the company hope it can remain viable and ride the new wave of mobile smartphone...

Addicted to Your CrackBerry? You're Not Alone...

Each and every day here at CrackBerry.com we hear stories from members and non-members regarding their addiction to BlackBerry devices. Some of the stories are humerous, (for example, how one of our members places his BlackBerry next to his ear while sleeping so that his alarm will wake him up... apparently he's a deep sleeper.) and other stories shed light on perhaps a more serious problem (i...

BlackBerry Interview Seemed Like Good Idea

File this under “it seemed like a good idea at the time.” For their latest issue, GQ magazine thought it was being 'leading edge' when it decided to interview a celebrity entirely on their BlackBerry via text messaging. Writer Marshall Sella explains the reason for trying this method of interview was because “that's how the kids are communicating these days.” That phrase right there should...

Former Morgan Stanley Exec Sells BlackBerry on eBay

Imagine this. You're former executive with Morgan Stanley (lets say for arguments' sake, you were the vice president of mergers and acquisitions). You are no longer with the company, but need to get rid of the BlackBerry you had been using. Sell it on eBay right? Sure why not! But before you do you'll wipe all sensitive data off the device right? Wipe it clean so that the new user can...

We can’t verify the veracity of the claim, but it a good story nonetheless and we have photo evidence (which never lies, right?). We have heard the stories before involving bibles, flasks and watches but here is our very own war story, this time featuring an iPod. According to reports showing up on the net, Kevin Garrad of the 3rd Infantry Division of the US Army was patrolling the streets of...

From 'Brick' to BlackBerry

From 'Brick' to BlackBerry

It’s hard to imagine our lives without our cell phones now, but in reality cell phones are still fairly new technology. The original mobile phone was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X which got FCC acceptance in 1983. Believe it or not, it would have set you back $3,995 to be the coolest cat on the block. Even more astonishing is the fact that it took Motorola fifteen years of research and $100...
