Full Touchscreen iPhone Experience Better Than Expected Thanks to the Smartphone Round Robin, I have now spent the better part of a month without my BlackBerry Curve. I first used the Windows Mobile 6 powered AT&T Tilt and from there moved onto the Palm Treo 680. While both of these devices retained some similarities to my BlackBerry Curve (both devices have physical keyboards)...
* Updated: 8130 now available from Sprint! * Penetration of the BlackBerry Pearl "2" in North America has a come a few steps closer this week. The BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is already available from Verizon and Telus, Sprint will have it any hour now, and today Alltel and MTS Allstream (local Winnipeg carrier) announced they are adding the 8130 to their BlackBerry offerings as well....
* Update: Apparently you don't have to wait until Friday to take in the savings. According to the comments on this post, the $99 Curve pricing is already available (not on the AT&T website yet, so you will have to go into an outlet store or call customer service and talk nice!). * The BG got the scoop on AT&T's upcoming Black Friday sale...and it looks promising for BlackBerry...
Gregory Wade, RIM's Vice President of Customer Accounts, had quite a bit to say in a recent interview with Business Standard. It's obvious that RIM is not only making a push into the consumer market, but is succeeding at it. The Blackberry Pearl represented almost 55 per cent of RIM’s total shipments in the first quarter of 2007 and with Pearl 8120 (dubbed as Pearl 2) our...
In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday, I thought it would be a good time to take a break and reflect upon this semester's past lectures. Consider today a "study" day. We'll be Back to Class next week per our regular schedule! Class Dismissed :-) BlackBerry 101 Lecture Series Table of Contents 2007 Fall Semester Introduction Lecture 1: Why BlackBerry? Lecture 2: BES...
I could be a Treo User, but would much rather be a CrackBerry Addict! My time with the Palm Treo 680 has come to an end. After getting off to a slow start with the device (read my initial impressions here), I’m happy to say we’ll be parting company as well-acquainted friends. As soon as I’m finished writing this article, I’ll yank the SIM card and put it into the iPhone that’s...
As I'm winding down my week of using the Treo 680 (final impressions going up later today or tomorrow Monday), Dieter over at WMExperts.com has posted his Initial Impressions of the BlackBerry Curve 8310. Dieter is an all-around smartphone expert, EXCEPT when it comes to the BlackBerry. He had never used one before, so he came into the Curve as a slightly skeptical blank slate. He...
Last week we got wind that Rogers was introducing a $15/month Unlimited BlackBerry Email and Instant Messaging Plan. Today we got a hold of all the sales notes/details behind the new plan (after the jump)... and there was one shocker that had me surprised - it's only available from Rogers if you have a BlackBerry Pearl on your account!!! This is going to tick off a lot of people,...
The Smartphone Round Robin is still humming along, and as you may have noticed we are slightly behind schedule. The original goal was to have initial impressions up each week on Tuesday, with final impressions up on Friday. Thanks to some small snags (a Fedex mix-up, my first unlocked Treo not working, and the fact that it takes more than a day or two to really get to know the phones...
I'm happy to announce yet another major improvement to CrackBerry.com... over the past week we have rolled out our all-new ShopCrackBerry.com store! The new store offers a much improved shopping experience - it's faster, looks better and is easier to browse and search! In addition to a better user-experience, we also have even better savings. Prices have been reduced on many items...
Happy Tuesday Class! Thanks to the Smartphone Round Robin I'm into my third week of No BlackBerry Use, which also means our third week of Guest Professors in the CrackBerry.com BlackBerry 101 Lecture Series. This week's topic? Getting Started With Videos On Your BlackBerry. It's a fitting topic since one of the rules of the Round Robin is that we must view videos on the smartphone we...
Week #2 in the Smartphone Round Robin has been a challenging one, with Murphy’s Law and limited time making it difficult for me to get to know the Palm Treo 680 as well as I’d like before writing out my first impressions. I will be spending the weekend really getting to know the Treo 680 inside and out, so look for an in-depth final thoughts article early next week. Nevertheless, I do...
Update: I couldn't resist..I had to try it. Downloaded it and it rocks! Definitely a few things to tweak up before this is "officially released", but worth getting your hands on it now while it's free! Read through the comments for all sorts of details. I just received an email from Haemish over at Electric Pocket letting me know about a new MP3 player they're working on for the...
Here's a nice pre-weekend anonymous tip for all you BlackBerry users on Rogers Wireless (I guess that includes me!)... I just received word that Rogers will announce TOMORROW their new Personal Email on BlackBerry plan and other BlackBerry consumer promotions. This will include the following: Personal Email on BlackBerry ($15 unlimited email and instant messaging - BlackBerry...
We are well into Week #2 of the Round Robin, with everyone now onto their second smartphone of the month. I survived a week with the AT&T Tilt and am now using a Palm Treo 680. I don’t have my initial impressions up yet as I ran into a small snag – the unlocked Treo I received didn’t like my Rogers SIM card so I haven’t been able to get fully intimate with it just yet. I’ve still...
My Farewell to the AT&T Tilt A Nod..err..Tilt of Approval for Windows Mobile? I survived! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't easy, but I did manage to get through Week # 1 of the Smartphone Round Robin with my sanity mainly in check. I followed the Round Robin's rules and reluctantly put aside my BlackBerry Curve in favor of the AT&T Tilt (made by HTC). While I initially wanted...
Morning Class! We're now into Week 2 of the Smartphone Round Robin and thus it's also the second week in a row of Guest Professors in our BlackBerry 101 Lecture series (it's kind of hard for me to teach when I'm not allowed to use my Blackberry for a month!). One of the things that has become very apparent to all of the Community Editors participating in the Round Robin is that...
RIM announced this morning the launch of BlackBerry Professional Software, a new wireless communications and collaboration solution that tightly integrates with the industry leading email servers and is specifically designed and priced to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. It's designed for up to 30 wireless users and pricing begins at $499 for 5 users. Read Full Press...
UPDATE UPDATE: BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 is now available from Vodafones Website. Click Here for Details. UPDATE: I thought maybe the download was pulled but it's still there... the server is probably just getting hammered by visitors and is going really, really slow. Use the comments to this post to keep people in the loop! Keep in mind it there's a chance it might not work by...
