The thing that shocked me about the latest press release from Zenprise was not the product features. The crazy part is that they have cataloged over 6,000 things that can possibly go wrong with your BlackBerry! Seriously that has to be a ridiculously long list. I started counting the ones I know to myself and [...]

After a week or so of wailing on Rim and BlackBerry and all of there shortfalls, I thought I would write a feel good story about the advantages of BlackBerry ownership.
Last weekend when I was supposed to be home writing my butt off, I actually went 4 wheeling to a local trail to test out [...]

“This is getting a little bit ridiculous, folks. We here at BGR have trouble putting our Blackberries down. Seriously. It’s a problem. That said, we’re getting a little bit frustrated with RIM following the 3rd service interruption [...]

Seriously after so many years you would think RIM would have learned how to remove Single Points of Failure from mission critical services! While this is not going to make people run out and buy a Windows Mobile device it will reduce peoples confidence in relying on their BlackBerry.

I am curious as to what happened to people during this latest outage. How did you handle the outage? If your story is interesting enough I will republish it later in the day.

Earlier GadgetCanada.ca posted some screenshots of BlackBerry Unite. They have since taken them down but the pictures are already out.

Well you know how RIM likes to make promises? They have finally delivered on one they made months ago by partnering together with Verizon to release the small business oriented BlackBerry Professional Software. This software is more of a watered down BES for 30 or less users.
You can read the glorious press release below:
