Walking around the streets of NYC in the summer isn't easy, especially when you factor in the sweltering heat from the sun and the subways. Carrying around a purse on my shoulder in 100+ degree weather is not something I look forward to when I need to carry around my BlackBerry, credit cards, keys, Building ID, etc. That's why I've been searching through our CrackBerry store looking for...

When it comes to physical activities I'm not normally one to shy away but getting older hasn't made it easy. I didn't take part in CrackBerry's Fitness Month back in February as much as other members of the Team CrackBerry, though I continued with my Taekwon-Do classes. However, in the past couple of months I have got back into the groove as I was beginning to feel plump, coupled with...

There are literally hundreds of options for Bluetooth headsets. If you want cheap you can get cheap. However, from my experience cheap doesn't make for a decent experience. I have used dozens of Bluetooth headsets over the years and it has been vitally important that my needs were suited as in previous jobs I have spent up to six hours a day in the car. What I require from a Bluetooth...

If you drive a car, you’ve probably given in to the urges at some point. You've grabbed your BlackBerry smartphone and then proceeded to make a phone call or send off a BBM. The thing that most don’t realize is, for the second it took for you to start that phone call, you had your eyes off the road and could have caused an accident. Now, I’m not saying I haven’t done this; I’m pretty...
I don't watch too much television outside of specific shows / sports I like to stay on top of, but Saturday night I had the tv on in the background while some friends were over visiting and I happened to catch the commercial above. That was the first time I watched the commercial or ever heard about the GoJo. I almost spit out my beer laughing in disbelief. I thought it was a joke at...

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is a sexy device, I'm sure most would agree. That's why I prefer to carry it around as is with no case but this is not always the best for me as I tend to drop it. So, is means I need a case and I've used a few over time but eventually I take it off as I miss the naked feel of the device. This meant I had to look at other ways of protecting my BlackBerry from...

For some reason, I don't like the leather holster that RIM ships with the BlackBerry Bold 9900.

A quest to find the best holster for the BlackBerry Bold 9900. Now, the question is did I find...

The quality of Dicota's products are phenomenal. The Lid Cradle for the BlackBerry 9900/30 is no exception. It provides great protection for both the front and back of the device as well as covering all sides and...
To be quite honest, it is about time that a mobile payment company decided to bring their application to BlackBerry considering how many business users are out there, and how much potential there is for the applicaiton on the platform.
