Summer Savings from BlackBerry Made Simple, Awesome BlackBerry Accessories, Touchscreen BlackBerry Images & More!

Greetings Fellow BlackBerry Users & Abusers!

It's been an exciting few weeks in the CrackBerry and BlackBerry worlds. Our last newsletter was a Special Edition issue in honor of CrackBerry.com passing the 200,000 member milestone, and what a party we had. If you haven't checked out the Free "CorkBerry" theme or CrackBerry.com launcher or new mobile forums site or Hit Me On My BlackBurry video we released to celebrate the occasion, I suggest clicking the links and checking it all out!

We also announced the winners of our 200k members contest. The grand prize winner is going to wait it out and take delivery of RIM's new touchscreen BlackBerry when it hits the market (be sure to check out the first LIVE images of the BlackBerry 9500 below). And if you were not a winner in this contest, don't worry, we're holding another CrackBerry.com contest right now where EVERYBODY WINS. Our friends at BlackBerry Made Simple are having a huge Summer Sale where they are offering up to 50% savings on their line of BlackBerry training/how-to videos and books. To celebrate the sale we are holding a special CrackBerry.com members contest (more details below). There are some great prizes to be won, and registering for your chance to win is easy - just visit CrackBerry.com and Vote on the Contest Poll.

Summer is here, and hopefully for you that means taking some holiday time away from work to relax and head to the beach. And so your Berry doesn't get too jealous of your tan, we have some awesome accessories at ShopCrackBerry.com including some new Bluetooth headsets and brightly colored cases to keep your berry looking good in the sun!

THANK YOU for making CrackBerry.com the Best BlackBerry Community on the net!

First Live Pics of the BlackBerry Thunder!!!

YUP, CrackBerry.com published the First LIVE Pictures of RIM's new in-development touchscreen BlackBerry. As for what we should call it? Well, it's the BlackBerry 9500, but the codename has switched from Storm to Thunder and apparently back to Storm... maybe we should just call it the Thunderstorm! Click the image above for all the details.

Bluetooth Headset Review: BlueAnt Z9i

The technology of Bluetooth Headsets has been evolving at a rapid pace. High quality, noise canceling Bluetooth headsets can now be had for around $100.00. last year, Aliph took the world by storm with the introduction of the Jawbone with state of the art DSP technology. I recently reviewed the new Jawbone 2 and it certainly set the standard for Noise Cancellation headsets.

Now, Australia's BlueAnt - the manufacture of some of the highest rated headsets on this site - enters the DSP world with a new twist. Their Z9 headset had won rave reviews last year – now it has been updated to the z9i. Don't be fooled by its diminutive size, this is an amazing piece of technology wrapped up in a very small package. Is this the new king of the Bluetooth hill? Read Full Review >>

It's BACKKKK! The Crossbar BlackBerry Theme!

It's bbaaaaaccCCKKKKKK!!! When the Crossbar BlackBerry theme was first announced it was a BIG HIT. When it later disappeared from sale it became the most sought after BlackBerry theme of all time (there were literally thousands of emails, PMs, PINS and posts flying around between CrackBerry Addicts trying to hunt it down).

But worry no more, it's back for sale at Bplay.com. $6.99 and it's yours. If you're one of the few who hasn't heard of the Crossbar theme yet, just click the image above - there's a video that provides a walkthrough of the theme and its totally unique carousel action. If you pick it up, be sure to post your reactions in the comments! More Information and to Purchase >>
