BlackBerry 6 OS

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

I have to say that I get pretty excited when a new Blackberry OS is launched because the way you see the Storm will be different after the Blackberry 6 OS will be launched. At the moment we don’t know what devices will support the new OS but I’m almost 100% sure that at least [...]

Update: Blackberry Slider Isn’t Likely To Be Storm 3

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I really hoped that the Blackberry Slider, now known as the Blackberry Bold 9800, was going to be actually the Blackberry Storm3. But now everything points towards the Slider being a Bold device, not a Storm. However, the Slider is in fact a touchscreen smartphone. It also has the trackpad, but we think that will [...]

Blackberry Storm3: Could Be The Leaked Slider

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

I have to say that the Blackberry ”Slider” leaked some days ago has a very strange form factor. It looks like it is a device that works with the trackpad, but at the same time it has a gigantic screen that perfectly could be a touchscreen. This new Slider appears to be a Bold device, [...]

Get The Official Twitter Client On Your Storm!

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Some months ago we saw what appeared to be the official Blackberry Twitter client, now it is available as a free download! But why would be need another Blackberry client given that there are dozens of other twitter clients out there for the Storm? For example, UberTwitter which is my favorite or even the simple [...]

Blackberry 6: The OS Of The Future Blackberry Devices!

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I really liked that RIM said straight and loud that their OS didn’t need a complete re-do like Windows Mobile needed, and it really doesn’t need a whole re-do. The Blackberry OS as it is has space for improvements but definitively is up to par with most mobile platforms. And that is exactly what RIM [...]

Will Blackberry OS 6.0 Bring Widgets To Blackberry?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Although Blackberry has enjoyed huge success with its devices and services all over the world the last couple of years, RIM can’t sleep on their laurels. Currently BB OS is slightly behind some competitors that have implemented new technologies on their platforms. One specific example is widgets. The Android platform sports a 5 page homescreen [...]

Formula 1 Fans: Stay Up To Date With The Blackberry F1 App

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

One of the things I most use my device for is to check sports events and results, not Formula 1 since I am not a big fan, but other sports. Anyway, I thought that this app would be very useful for someone who owns a Blackberry and follows the Formula 1 season which started some [...]

Original Blackberry Storm To Be Discontinued? About Time!

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Looks like the Original Blackberry Storm will be discontinued. If the rumors are correct, and they usually are in the Blackberry world, the Original Storm won’t be offered any more by the North American Carrier Verizon. The rumors started last week when Mobile and Wireless reported that investors and analysts were speculating that the Storm [...]

Leaks: New Blackberry Device Leaks, Possibly a Storm3?

Friday, March 5th, 2010

A new Blackberry device has leaked! Blackberry is the only manufacturer that allows this type of leak, most of the companies succeed in keeping the secret (at least partially) until the announcement date. With Blackberry is different, videos, complete specs and pics are leaked months before Blackberry announces the device. Anyway, like with the Storm2 [...]

”Blackberry Super App” Will Bring Super Homescreen to the Storm?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I always thought that the homescreen from the Blackberry Storm could be more useful, it could have something more than the app shortcuts. And when looking at other platforms, Blackberry does need to do something, other manufacturers offer cool desktop screens with several screens and widgets. Looks like RIM is working towards this, they are [...]
