UPDATE: RIM released a knowledge base article recommending that you disable Google Sync if you encounter calendar sync issue. Talk about a wonderful workaround!
Last week we ran a poll asking all of you to share your experiences with Google Sync. Over 600 readers participated in the poll and provided comments. It turns out that my [...]
Recently I have had a few friends complain to me that Google Sync (m.google.com/sync) is screwing up their contacts and calendars. Most of the issues seem to be on the BlackBerry Tour OS. I am on a BES so I don’t really have a need for Google Sync but I decided to look into it.
Turns [...]
A little over a week ago we ran a poll asking all of you what operating system you use the most. I was curious how many people would actually be impacted by RIM releasing desktop manager for Mac. I know I have been dying to get my hands on a copy but am worried that [...]
With RIM’s recent announcement about BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac I started wondering how many people will care. My wife purchased a aluminum Macbook for me last year as a anniversary gift (much appreciated) and I have only plugged my BlackBerry into it once. It was a suitable replacement for my trusted Lenovo x61t until [...]
I really do not understand what the holdup is. I had a Windows Mobile device years ago that had GPS and on device maps. My BlackBerry has tons of free space on its MicroSD card just waiting for maps. It just blows my mind that my sub-$100 Mio c310x is a better GPS than my [...]
So the BlackBerry Tour dropped yesterday and many of you picked it up. This is the device many of you were waiting for since Verizon released the dated 8330.
So what do you think about it?
Most news sources seem to agree that the BlackBerry App World is a decent first try from RIM but really needs more to make it stand out in the crowd. In a recent interview Mike Lazaridis had with Laptop Magazine (via FierceDeveloper) he said that carrier billing is something that they are working on currently [...]
As you are all probably aware by now, the new BlackBerry Storm will only be available on a few networks worldwide.
My question here is, are you prepared to swap to that carrier if it means getting hold of RIMs hottest new device ??

Greg ran a great poll a little over a week ago and I thought others would be interested in the results. Greg asked all of you what OS based device you would switch to if RIM & the BlackBerry were no longer a viable option.
The shocking part is that the unreleased and just announced Google [...]
For awhile I have wondered if most BerryReview Readers are running their device on a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) or they only use BIS (BlackBerry internet server). BES has traditionally been for corporate users and BIS has been targeted towards BIS users. We posted a FAQ article earlier this week detailing the differences between BES [...]
What if ??? As a purely hypothetical question (and more out of morbid curiosity); If RIM were to foreclose tomorrow and BlackBerry devices were no longer available, which platform/device OS would you go with? There is a fair bit of devices out there to choose from so I decided to focus on the operating systems powering these [...]
When Greg floated the idea for this poll I was very interested to see what the results would show. I am personally paying about $135 for me and my wife on AT&T compared to the $90 we used to pay on T-Mobile.
Out of almost 500 readers who answered the poll I was glad to see [...]
We ran a poll over a week ago asking you about your opinion about cell phone warranties. I thought the results were pretty interesting due to the fact that a good portion (30%) of the respondents are paying their carrier for an extended warranty. On the other hand 42% are just fine with RIM’s standard [...]
Do you dread that time of month when that cell phone/BlackBerry bill is due to show up in your letterbox ? (or inbox – as is an option for many carriers these days).
If you’re anything like me then your bill would have been cut considerably since using a BlackBerry. (I dropped down from an average [...]
After reading an article on Woot about extended warranties I thought it would be a great idea to see how everybody felt about cell phone warranties. Personally the limited warranty from RIM has always been just fine but I tend to shirk all warranty offers especially from pushy sales reps. Especially after reading articles like [...]

We asked you last week what you think of mobile TV and the results are in. It turns out that TV on your BlackBerry is a very segmented market. It is interesting to note that less than 5% of responders actually watch TV on their BlackBerry and enjoy it.
Almost 45% of responders are indifferent [...]
All of us here at BerryReview love our BlackBerry’s, in one way or another. I myself love my BlackBerry for countless reasons. Enough to write all over my hand at least . There have been other loves, but they weren’t true.
I haven’t posted here in several months due to the fact I was without [...]
I have always envied Koreans since they get to watch TV anywhere using their cellphones. I think it would be pretty cool to watch TV on my BlackBerry while sitting on the train. On the other, hand mobile TV has yet to even make a dent in the US. MobiTV just announced that they have [...]
