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 [...]

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 [...]
