...if you should anytime visit germany(yes thats where i live ;-)) we should meet and try to "crackin" the "Ruhr - Universaty"...this is the "campus" where RIM has their german laboratory...this is the one where the 9700 was developed...

as you can see on this article(its in german, but if you have problems understanding it, I would apreciate to help you, e.g. translate it for you ;-))(don`t get me wrong I`m not trying to become your best pal/friend, but just thinking about how much work you did and do for all of us, I just would be happy if I could help you anyway !!!!) this could become an interesting trip for both of us(if we get through the "borders" there)

well i won`t hesitate to bring us there, its just n hour away from cologne, where i live,,,could be a nice experience, depending on "who they`re doing the door"...

but as you know,....there`s alwys a way ;-)

Kevin, I have some good books for you ... bright colors ... popups ... I think you might be really amazed.

My 2yr old loves 'em!

Posted by Diggs31 Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 760 days ago

It's amazing to me that that was the first time because I too have a few of those stories.

wife: "Do you have to be somewhere?"
me: "No. Why?"
wife: "Cause you keep checking your fracking watch!"
me: "Oh, that's just my phone notifying me when i get contacted."
wife: "You fracking addict!"

I actually don't like having the bluetooth in the dash with my car, I like having the privacy of the bluetooth headset. I actually use it more now ever since it became mandatory for driving (Canada). I don't like having the handset right up to my ear, maybe I'm lazy with holding my hand there, especially if I'm talking for long periods of time. Just yesterday I went the whole day with the bluetooth headset on and it was so good. My hand wasn't tired, no heat from my handset on my face and no greasy phone screen.

keep up the good work guys love the podcast! you should do crackberrynation like diggnation!

How Do I download this directly to my Tour? BB browser and Opera gives me error messages when i try the direct download link. "Error invalid character in name"

 
 
Posted by Yandar Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 760 days ago

You really need to get a podcast aggrigator like podtrapper. Podtrapper is 10 dollars and is the best around. it can handle hundreds of podcasts and automatically download them for you. It can even stream music or podcasts to a single ear bluetooth headset.

 
 
Posted by gavdalbs Sunday, Jan 17, 2010 757 days ago

podtrapper is the shit just get it worth every cent

 
 
Posted by Tony Bag O Donuts Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 760 days ago

Kevin,
long time ago I said you sounded as if you were in a tunnel.
Voice quality on this podcast is far superior to previous podcasts.
Length of the podcast was perfect because the content was there to keep it moving....

 
 
Posted by jkender Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 760 days ago

I think the pod casts are a little too long, but that may just be me. Can you post transcripts as well?

 
 
Posted by dres79 Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 760 days ago

for rounding up CES. Really looking forward to the PowerMat releasing in June.

I still use my Jawbone, sometimes even at home. If I'm talking to any customer service line, on a telecon, any time I know I'll be talking to someone for a longish time, I use it, because I've found that I cannot stand holding a phone up to my ear anymore. I get uncomfortable pretty quickly. Maybe I'm weird. I also have a 45-minute-each-way commute, so I consider a headset a necessity.

Douchebag, douche, and douchebaggery (an aggregate set of douchey actions) are all perfectly acceptable. The words are becoming more necessary as the people they describe become more prevalent in society. Douchebaggery abounds.

 
 
Posted by rrrebo Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 760 days ago

Auto-focus still works with the trackpad. When you click the trackpad, it auto-focuses, and as soon as the AF locks, the pic is taken. So, you don't have the half-step pause like you do with the right convenience key, and you have to anticipate any action if you use the trackpad, but it is usable.

Good broadcast and cool to hear you have a kindle.

 
 
Posted by Xopher Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 760 days ago

I'm another person who like the privacy of the bluetooth headset in my car.

The other thing that keeps me using my bluetooth headset almost all the time is how I use my BB. During phone calls, I am taking notes, checking my calendar, and other things. I wouldn't be able to do all that if I had my BB up to my ear. I really do like the freedom to use my BB for those features, and having a bluetooth headset gives me the freedom to do that.

Craig Johnston has a awesome voice!
Almost like Vincent Price!!

Gives me a good reason to write one big paragraph instead of several small sentences. I used to always do this, but kinda fell away from this practice lol

Ok, first off the Bluetooth thing - uh well its useful in certain situations but not all, for example in a car/truck, van etc .. it works. down the street eh some what ..

I posted about the High Speed Edge thing when 8900 came out way back because I was miffed about it not being 3G at the time. So I went digging on the specs and came across the HSCSD and wanted more info on it. Then I think we talked about it on the phone kevin High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data is what its called. Here is the Wiki on it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Circuit-Switched_Data

and one of the original forum posts
http://forums.crackberry.com/f100/javelin-8900-specs-100737/

The Mobile Charging stuff coming out, is a good thing for sure I think its here to stay actually and will continue to evolve.

I think there should be more interactive stuff with the CES type show though man, more physical things happening like actual real time stuff for example I think to demo a product take it out side and go talk to people and put through a test with non professionals ...

and more coverage more videos for each day and what the topic of the day was, maybe a video stream .. oh yah more sexy stuff too! lol

imagine BB bluetooth clothes ? think swim wear lol

Hey, LOVE the podcast**please continue.

I like all of the urban stories. I look forward to hearing how you all liked "Avatar". I have seen it in "Real3d" but I want to see it in 2d which has a much brighter screen experience as well as iMax.

I use bluetooth headsets (Moto HS-7**). I can't afford a new car that has bluetooth in the radio. Dreaming of a BMW 330Ci.

Be well.

I use a stereo Bluetooth headset for listing to podcasts with PodTrapper. Rarely use it for talking on the phone.

 
 
Posted by birtsg Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 759 days ago

I'm in the Army and the place they have my housing in is pretty bad when it comes to cell phone signals (no matter what carrier your with,everyone has the same problem when they try to use there phone here). I have to be up against a window in order to get a signal. In order to be on the phone with ease I have to put my phone on the window sill and wear my bluetooth headset through the house. That way I could be sitting down comfortably and talk on the phone. Without my bluetooth I would have to lean close against the window and hope that the signal dosen't drop or be outside (that stinks during the winter months and rainy days). As far as I'm concerned, bluetooth headsets are here to stay!

 
 
Posted by aton.amen Thursday, Jan 14, 2010 759 days ago

I use mine sometime. It comes in handy when I am BBM/E-Mail/Text/Gtalk'ing and on the phone.

Kevin Adam Craig and Bla1ze!! keep it up, im loving all the podcasts, its great for when im working on deliveries all day and on my way to classes during the week. keep it coming! and thanks for informing us all this past year

 
 
Posted by BlitzedATL Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Love listening to your podcasts. Keep it up! They have a nice flow and keep my interest!

 
 
Posted by Azothyran Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Video blogs would be awesome. Maybe a video podcast once every two months? It would be an awesome idea. This podcast was pretty good. Good length, and there was plenty of joking around but not too much. There was enough BlackBerry news to keep the whole thing moving.

 
 
Posted by c0rinne Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

I listened while on my way home from work.

(Could be because I had a bad day but) I was pretty bored, unfortunately. I have enjoyed your other podcasts though.

Craig does have a great voice though.

 
 
Posted by Breaking The Silence Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Nice radio show, with in time and all great. But please hook Bla1ze with your old mic or something.

On the BB presenter topic, why bluetooth put WiFi in it, at's video and give it a year and you can even charge your battery true it. Some form of Apple tv/time capsule killer Blackberry Hotspot..

Ow and I called your show a Radio show, so please hook me up with that 9700 my trackball is getting stock ;-)

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Saturday, Jan 16, 2010 757 days ago

I have the same Mic as Kevins old one, Skype just hated me lol.

Love the Crackberry Radio, can't wait to see Crackberry TV!!!

 
 
Posted by CipherDias Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Over here in the UK I am not seeing nearly as many people wearing BT earpieces as I used to. I personally haven't used mine in over a year but do have a Motorola T305 visor BT speaker for use when driving..

 
 
Posted by mjbesen310 Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

I would love to listen to these Podcast, but who ever has over an hour and a half to sit and listen to one? These are wayyyyyy to long for anyone to listen to Kevin

 
 
Posted by hingham55 Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Hi Kevin.
I really enjoy the lively banter for the Crackberry.com podcasts. Wish you guys would do a weekly show. Loved your tale about Blackberry messenger. LOL. That's why everyone should listen till the end. Cheers!

 
 
Posted by thechin Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Keep it up. I enjoy listening and looking forward to the new 2010 commitment on a new podcast every 2 weeks! Thanks

 
 
Posted by Donnje Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Hey, 2010 is even better because you guys are podcasting more often. I love the show and look forward to them every time! Keep it up. It will not hurt my feelings if you record every week!! Kevin and Adam sounded great with your new equipment.

 
 
Posted by jevalladares Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Hey, could hear the podcast live. I like the idea that Kevin has of doing it every two weeks and weekly when good news are available.

Btw I totally agree with you guys on the bluetooth issue I also only used it for hands free on my car.

 
 
Posted by crazyphoneguy Friday, Jan 15, 2010 759 days ago

Hey, great fun listening to the newest podcast as usual.

I was disappointed I didn't win the autographed copy of Craig's new book, but that's okay. Looking forward to the next podcast in two weeks. Cheers!

 
 
Posted by jasper0201 Friday, Jan 15, 2010 758 days ago

I really like the casual talks about all things BB, I look forward to all the blogs and video blogs and now I have this... going to be awesome. thanks for the updates and all the goods.
