Thanks to all of you BerryReview has been growing at a rapid pace. Last week we started reaching the limits of our server and decided to upgrade to a faster dedicated server through the great team at MediaLayer.
I wanted to apologize for the slow page loading speeds some of you experienced last week which [...]
Not sure how I missed this deal but Addictive Tower Defense is on sale today for 50% off which is $2.49. I reviewed the game earlier this week and gave it a 10/10 stars and our coveted Editors Choice Award.
Addictive Tower Defense is an awesome game and I highly recommend picking it up if [...]
As I said before I don’t use BeejiveIM but I realize the app is quite popular especially with people who bought lifetime licenses. Tom let us know that they just released Beta 1.9.7 in their forums that adds a whole slew of new features including the much needed OS 5.0 support.
New features from current [...]
Quite a few readers send in tips about Colorware and their uber expensive coloring customization service for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 yesterday. I am not sure how many of you are throwing down $159 for colored parts for your BlackBerry but that is way to high compared to how much the device itself costs. [...]
We mentioned T-Mobile’s interesting Complete prepaid package when it launched but we did not have all the details and some were left wanting. We dug a little bit further and got the following document from T-Mobile outlining the plan. I am not sure how amazing of a deal this plan is anymore considering the [...]
Sorry guys RIM put their lawyers on us again for “misappropriation of trade secrets” so we had to take it down. Still a little bit of Google-ing will prove that you cannot close Pandora’s box once it is open…

Vlingo does a great job of keeping me abreast of the DWT (Driving While Texting) bans that go into effect across the country. The latest implementations are in Colorado and North Carolina where the new rules start on December 1st. The next driving while texting bans go into effect on January 1st, 2010 in [...]
I just got back from Pepcom with David and we got a chance to play with the BlackBerry Curve 8530 that Verizon is releasing today. They only had the device in Urple but they told me that it will also be coming in black.
UPDATE: Adam @Crackberry was busy all night posting a review, pictures, unboxing, [...]
The Facebook application just got an update it jumped from 1.7.0.18 to 1.7.0.22. Hopefully this fixes a lot of the issues the application has been having. The current one has been performing really slow. You can pick up the latest by going to mobile.blackberry.com on your BB browser or check the BlackBerry app world.
Let us [...]
The word around the forums has been that Verizon was releasing OS 4.7.1.61 & it looks like they came through. David just let us know that Valace2 over at Berryaddicted posted a link to download the update. To download the file to your desktop go to the Verizon website or click on this link.
This is [...]
Bla1ze spotted the fact that OS 5.0.0.351 has made its way online for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 thanks to The BlackBerry Zone. Not sure what is new but it could be interesting…

I am usually called the paranoid security guy with the tinfoil hat. When I was reading a recent quote by Scott Totzke, RIM’s VP of BlackBerry Security, even I was kind of taken back. He claims that one day hackers could use BlackBerrys/Smartphones to attack wireless networks. This is kind of interesting since it [...]
While at DevCon I was shown a demo of NBA Game Time and was impressed by watching a game recap on my BlackBerry. The app is really smooth and has some great features like live scores, game summaries, and more. The best part is that the game comes in both a free and $9.99 version [...]
A million users is a pretty impressive number even for a free app. DriveSafe.ly is a pretty cool app that helps you drive safely… Simple enough right? It will even read emails and text messages that you receive out loud so you can keep your eyes on the road.

Still DriveSafe.ly has one HUGE [...]
Remember the days when carriers were all buddies raising text message fees to absurd heights and keeping similar voice plans? I guess there is nothing worse than a carrier scorned… We have been covering this recent spat between AT&T and Verizon where Verizon is bashing AT&T’s 3G coverage and the iPhone. AT&T has decided [...]
We told you about Cellcrypt back in May when it was released for the Bold 9000. Their solution somehow allows you to encrypt phone calls from your BlackBerry for end to end real time encryption. The idea is that it allows individuals and corporations to perform secure calls without a special device.
They just announced [...]
I just got confirmation from one of our Secret Agents that US Cellular will be joining in on the BlackBerry Curve 8530 fun. They are scheduled to release the 8530 on December 10th if all goes as planned. This joins the ranks of Verizon who is getting it on Nov 20th and Sprint who [...]
UPDATE: T-Mobile answered a few of my questions. The 8520 will be the only BlackBerry available at launch with a Complete package. The other 3 devices are Samsung phones. The 8520 Complete package is currently available at select Wal-Mart locations, and nationwide at Best Buy locations.
T-Mobile is really on a roll recently with plan [...]

Everyday on the train home I try to catch up on work. Half way during the ride my BlackBerry usually dies. I have tried many other power chargers, but I find Duracell’s to be the best. I love the [...]
