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.

BoyGenius does a wonderful job of drumming up these juicy little tidbits about BlackBerry release dates. According to him the new 8820 devices have started shipping to AT&T warehouses around the country. It seems that AT&T is hushing this up since they don’t want to be stuck with a large stock of 8800’s [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
