However, this is not a [...]

Join the Conversation »

We have done several reviews on Sena cases in the past, my personal favorite being the flip-down case for the 8830, so when they contacted me to ask whether I would be interested in participating in their new Custom Engraving, before it was officially announced, I was thrilled. This is something that I know [...]

FlyCast Heads to BlackBerry

5 Comments »

If you have never heard of FlyCast, their network is the “first specifically designed application to deliver radio,video and podcasts over mobile broadband and Wi-Fi networks to mobile devices.” Some pretty cool stuff if you ask me.

Vlingo Opens Up Version 2.0 for Public Beta

7 Comments »

We may have been known by others in the BlackBerry community for giving a little bit of slack to Vlingo. We just were not happy with the product that they submitted for the general public, it was a release nightmare. I can say that if I was the developer, I might have scratched it [...]

Before reviewing this case, I had never heard of Beyza Cases. Honestly, I’m not really sure how I could have missed them, if their entire product line matches up with this case, they should certainly be getting more attention.
