TrackMyJourney is a free web based GPS tracking solution. They do have a beta version of the application that runs on your 8800 series BlackBerry and makes use of the internal GPS. To be honest this program and website are quite complex and has features that I don’t quite understand but I know enough to [...]

I just stumbled upon a website, Cellular Nationwide Network, that sells aftermarket BlackBerry parts. This means that you can pick up an extra battery cover, keyboard, and even screen for your BlackBerry for relatively cheap. They sell parts for every BlackBerry model from the 7100 to the 8300. It used to be that if you [...]

It seems that AT&T is hushing this up since they don’t want to be stuck with a large stock of 8800’s [...]

The good guys over at BlackBerryCool have released some very sad information about the upcoming BlackBerry 8820 WiFi phone from AT&T. They have a source in AT&T which is telling them that they will be locking down GPS functionality in the 8820 to only work with TeleNav for $10 a month. As an AT&T [...]

Jonathan Fisher has released a free game for BlackBerry 8700, 8800 called Forever Power Up AKA FreudianMissles. It is a game that he used to sell commercially but has now decided to give away for free. I have only found an OTA download page here so there is no love for Desktop Manager installations. The [...]

I used to laugh when I heard the saying “Just because you are not paranoid does not mean everybody is not out to get you” but the new BlackBerry tracking service by BBTrack has put new meaning into the saying. BBtrack allows you to view on a map where your BlackBerry is currently. So far [...]

TimesOnline has got an exclusive new look at the BlackBerry 8820. I know quite a few people have asked for information about the new phone so we thought we would share. They do not seem to excited about the WiFi features and talk it down as a BlackBerry 8800 with a few features added. You [...]

NASA in a recently released meeting minutes has deemed the iPhone as “Not enterprise ready.” While I could have told you that without any help from NASA it is quite amusing. This is the same as deeming a Mac to not be enterprise ready when the standard is Windows. NASA has really stuck it to [...]
