I finally caved…… Anyone who knows me I am a live and die BlackBerry guy, and ZERO iphone, or anything else that starts with an “i”. I desperately needed a body guard for my BlackBerry Storm. After doing some research I decided to go with [...]

Personally I am still struggling with the idea of why I would want a BlackBerry watch accessory but the Allerta inPulse Handsfree BlackBerry Watch is now available for preorder. The price is not as terrible as I was expecting at $149 but still not a casual purchase in my book.
Check it out at www.freeupyourhands.com. [...]

RIM let me know that they have officially released the HS-500 Bluetooth Wireless Headset that we mentioned before. I had a chance to check out the headset at a recent event and it looks pretty cool but not groundbreaking. The main appeal is the fact that it uses a MicroUSB charger port like newer BlackBerrys [...]

Review: Jabra Halo Bluetooth Headphones – Ultimate Series
Rating:
Price: $130 Directly | Amazon.com
Summary: The Jabra Halo is one of the most high-class bluetooth stereo headsets thus far. But at times the new technologies the Jabra Halo employs leads to reduced functionality and the limitations of bluetooth stereo technology on a whole dampen the user experience.

RIM has really been working on their accessory line with recent devices. Scott let me know about the latest accessory RIM has put on ShopBlackBerry.com which is the BlackBerry HS-500 Bluetooth Headset. The headset looks pretty standard but adds in features like automatic volume control. I am not sure how this will compare with [...]

When I see these types of accessories it makes me iCringe. The latest and greatest in haircut gadget accessories is the iCape and the iTwinge tries to make the iPhone a BlackBerry wannabe.
The iCape is essentially a haircut cape with a clear 6” by 8” window in the front so you don’t have [...]

Seidio let us know about their latest case release called the Innocase Snap. This case separates itself from the pack by only covering the back, sides, and bottom of your BlackBerry Tour to minimize bulk. I am kind of intrigued by the concept of such a case since it has a slick design. Too [...]

I have been a fan of OtterBox cases for quite awhile. They now have 3 main lines of cases ranging from the light silicon of the impact case to the heavy duty hard case on the defender line. They just released all three variations for the BlackBerry 8520 Curve.
You can check out the cases [...]

David B sent us in this little tidbit on the steps forward that mobile printing has been making.
From Their Site:
“Part of “being mobile” is being completely untethered — not just with wonderful mobile devices that handle our email, schedules, contacts, music collection, photo, and video — but with our printing needs as well. There [...]

We mentioned the Polaroid PoGo Bluetooth printer back in March as a cool albeit expensive way to print out pictures from your BlackBerry. Back then the device was a little pricey hovering around $80-$100.
Mr Pack was kind enough to send in a tip letting us know that the price is now all the way down [...]

A colleague showed off a pair of these bone conducting headphones to me last week and the idea just stuck in my head. Unlike traditional headphones that go in or over your ear bone conducting headphones just rest on your jawbone. That leaves your ears free to hear ambient noise like cars about to [...]

I am not sure what to make of SmartestCover. James spotted this little company that is selling a new screen cover for the Storm that provides touchable little nubs letting you know where your buttons are. Kind of like the little nubs on the F and J keys on a regular keyboard.
Now the interesting [...]

I am not sure if sales will take off like crazy for the Mogo Talk but it is the first Bluetooth headset I have seen stuck to a BlackBerry 8900 or 83xx Curve. They also mentioned on CrunchGear that the BlackBerry Tour & Bold models are coming soon. I remember there used to be [...]

Iskin sent me a sample of their new Vibes for the BlackBerry 8900, at first I though it was just like any other silicon cover but it turns out it is tougher. The package comes with the bodyguard, a clear screen film to protect your screen and some LCD anti-static cleaning [...]
