Previously I had mentioned that I was looking into alternative BES hosting companies and last month I changed to TheMessageCenter.com and have been quite happy since. This past week they sent me an email that their already generous 500MB of storage would be increased for all users to 1GB for free. Personally I think this [...]

BoyGenius has once again gotten some early screenshots of the upcoming GPS BlackBerry 8310 Curve. The new curve is set to launch on AT&T this week on Thursday and should add a bit of umph to the current Curve feature set by adding GPS capabilities. The new Curve from AT&T will be coming in both [...]

BigHand has announced a new software offering that allows you to dictate and then upload voice files from your BlackBerry for later transcription. I know a few doctors and lawyers that will be glad to hear of this new service since voice dictation has always been one of the things missing on BlackBerry devices. There [...]

I had forgotten about MidpSSH until Josep of MiBlackBerry reminded me of this wonderful free application. Personally I use Rove/Idokorro’s Mobile SSH application to access my servers but free applications are always useful for casual users. The only problem with MidpSSH is that it does not support input buffering like Idokorro’s Mobile SSH application. The [...]

Since the Mobile YouTube page does not natively support BlackBerry devices a few alternatives have popped up. One of our readers asked me how to get these video’s on their BlackBerry so I thought I would share it with the rest of you. These solutions are not pretty and quite slow but they do work [...]

TwitterBerry - [...]

It seems that the upcoming Verizon Pearl 2 is going to be a hit for RIM. The much awaited CDMA Pearl in my opinion will draw quite a few customers to Verizon. I have gotten quite a few emails from readers asking for more information on the device release. According to the venerable BoyGenius we [...]

I was reading an article on the New York Times website about this clever new service appropriately called Clever Commute. This email service is a peer to peer email mailing list where users with BlackBerry’s or other email enabled devices share commute advice with each other. The lists are highly moderated and specific to the [...]

BeamBerry is a free (for now) application that allows you to view certain attachments from your BlackBerry. The reason I am mentioning it is because they have just released Version 2.0 of BeamBerry that adds quite a few new features. I personally use BeamBerry as a backup for the native attachment viewing on my BlackBerry. [...]

I was just made aware by Steve at Themes4BB.com that the “Berry Glass” theme I mentioned before is actually a rip off of a Vista theme he had released awhile back. I personally wanted to set the record straight since I love this theme and wanted to give the creator their due praise. Once again [...]
