The keyboard on the Storm is kind of [...]

One thing I cannot stand is how RIM is continuously missing the small things when it comes to building the dream OS for our precious BlackBerrys. For instance, a lot of people have been getting irritated of the Storm’s autotilt feature. Disabling and enabling should be a NATIVE feature in the Storm’s OS but [...]

Like most 8120 owners, I love my WIFI, but I was bummed at not having GPS like the 8110. GPS is a big deal since I like to travel. But I’ve noticed that most receivers can be bulky and remembering to grab it can be rather cumbersome. So when the opportunity came up to review [...]
