Yesterday, at Research In Motions’s official Press Event, we were introduced to the company’s latest mobile operating system, appropriately named BlackBerry OS 6.

Now, from the looks of things, BlackBerry 6 offers a much cleaner, simpler user-interface with some welcomed new features like Universal Search and a WebKit browser.

Other cool additions include enhanced multimedia tools (like WiFi media [...]

On August 3rd, 2010, the world of BlackBerry changed forever. OK, OK– maybe not. But, we were formally introduced to BlackBerry’s latest device, the Torch 9800, as well as the company’s latest operating system, BlackBerry OS6. Keep reading past the break to learn more.

The first shots of the supposed BlackBerry Bold  9780 have arrived. And, according to these early leaks, the device is sporting a working version of BlackBerry OS 6.0.

Aesthetically, the phone looks nearly identical to the BlackBerry 9700, widely known as the Bold II. Although I personally can’t see a difference in the photo above, BlackBerry ninja [...]

There’s a timeless saying that pictures are worth a thousands words. Another favorite of mine (albeit it’s slightly newer) is the one that says infographics are wortha hundred million words. OK, so maybe I made up that last one. But regardless, infographics are a great and easy way to learn.

As many of you know, I’m just about fed up with my BlackBerry (post coming soon: “Why I Can’t Wait to Ditch My BlackBerry.”). But, one thing I know I’m going to miss, perhaps miss desperately, is BlackBerry Messenger (or BBM).

Clearly, it was time for a “new”* phone. After trying various troubleshooting techniques with [...]

This morning, RIM (Research in Motion), the company behind the popular BlackBerry smartphone line, released yet another “sneak peek” video of BlackBerry OS 6.

The company’s VP of Handheld Software Product Management, Andrew Bocking, seemed genuinely excited about the upcoming launch– me, not so much.
When the folks over at CrackBerry reached out to RIM, they were basically told [...]

HP, that big ‘ol company that just bought Palm, has acquired yet another company: Melodeo.  Melodeo is the creator of nuTsie (yes, that is an iTunes anagram), an interesting personal radio service.  As the webOS and Palm fan that I am, I can’t help but recognize the power this deal has over the webOS desktop-to-mobile [...]

If you haven’t already taken a look at  trailer to the new Wall Street sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, I suggest you do so. There’s a great scene where Gordon Gekko (the greedy investor played by Michael Douglas) is getting out of jail and security hands him back his “cell phone”. Funny thing is, [...]

I imagine if you’re reading this review that you use your phone on a daily basis. [Insert head nod confirming question here]
Let me ask you this: can you even imagine a day without using your beloved cell phones? [Shake head no here] Personally, I wouldn’t be able to function without my BlackBerry… which is why I [...]
