As always expect us to cover everything BlackBerry. Hopefully [...]

Gary has just released a great Green Bay Packers today theme on BlackBerryForums.com. I am not personally a Green Bay fan but the theme looks really slick so I thought I would share it with you all. If you can deal with the logo on the device lock screen you can just change the background [...]

While playing around listening to some music and watching video on my BlackBerry 8310 I discovered something I had never known before. In my previous Rant! about the video options on the BlackBerry I mentioned my frustration about the fast forward and rewind increments on the BlackBerry media player. The default movement is in extremely [...]

Flic Bluetooth Barcode Scanner is the only BlackBerry barcode scanners I know of. The Flic Scanner comes in both wired and Bluetooth flavors to connect it to your BlackBerry. The great part is that the software is bundled with Dynoplex’s eCell spreadsheet software so that you can scan barcodes directly into a spreadsheet to later be [...]

I will preface the [...]

Eveek.com has just released a slick modern theme called BlackPack. Personally I am not fond of the items on the today screen but the look is very impressive. It looked hot on the 8800 I installed it on but it may not jive with the device colors of your 8300. I like the icon choices [...]

RIM is giving away copies of Holiday Midnight Pool for the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl series devices. This game seems to be Gameloft’s Holiday Midnight Pool game for the BlackBerry.
The downloads are available from the BlackBerry Owners Lounge and do not have OTA options. I never really understood RIM’s reasoning for separating their mobile site [...]

Many readers have asked me about the difference between the 3 web browsers that are available on BlackBerry devices.
