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 [...]

A few weeks ago I mentioned the fact that my BlackBerry has become a chronic memory hog. I will reboot my BlackBerry and have about 7–8Mb of free space. Wait a few days and that is back down to 500K. I reboot and it is back to 7–8Mb. Seriously what is going on. I never used [...]

I just can’t wait for this to be an acceptable excuse for anything.
“Your Honor I was on my BlackBerry. What could I do?”
Seriously this is getting old. The last one I truly remember well ended up with a $4.1 million dollar ruling for driving while BlackBerrying.
The latest version is by Lurita Doan, head [...]

I know there are quite a few readers who would like this so I thought I would share this little tidbit. The website www.bookseller.com has been collecting a list of all the absurd book titles they can find. Some of my favorite include:
“Are Women Human? And other International Dialogues.”
“How to Write a How to Write Book”
“If You Want [...]

And here we go again. The Boy Genius Report reports that the Blackberry network has just had another outage.
“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 [...]

I have always been annoyed with every new device I get because of a simple reason. When you first register your phone on the network you will get up to 15 different homescreen browser shortcut icons on your homescreen! These range from upselling applications to ringtones to Music ID services. AT&T has almost 15 of [...]

Bear with me guys. I just read the title of this article on SeekingAlpha and just started laughing. Let me know what you think:
Is RIM Becoming a Law Firm That Happens to Make BlackBerrys?
Check out the short post at this link

I know many people will not even know what I am talking about so I will stop and explain. A few years ago when I used T-Mobile there was a beautiful option on my 7100t that allowed me to know when a person received a text message. This option is built into the GSM protocol [...]

I was reading this article on Reuters about the weirdest add on service I have ever heard of for cellphones. It is the equivalent of a polygraph to find out if your lover is lying to you. Don’t get all scared since the service is only available in South Korea currently. The service is meant [...]
