Every ounce of irony is intended on this one. Seriously I thought removable faceplates and such were not important to smartphone users. The last faceplate I had was on my Nokia 3650 and I don’t miss the flimsy feel. (or the flashing see through keypad I shamelessly sported)
I guess RIM thinks I am wrong. Kevin [...]

I installed an Alpine iDA-X001 media player in my work van about 6 months or so ago and until recently, have not tried it for playing music directly from my BlackBerry Curve.
Although I have it running through about 1200 watts of amplifiers, subwoofers and speakers, I’m not going to do a review of sound quality [...]

I give all the credit for this one to the great guys at TechBargains.com. If you have never visited the site you should for some amazing tech deals.
They let us know that the amazing shure headphones are selling for 30% off. This is a great deal because these headphones never go on sale. I know [...]

I was just reading on BlackBerryCool that there is a new cradle in town for the Curve that is moderately priced. You can pick it up for a reasonable $26.95 from the BlackBerryDen.com.
Personally I don’t get the hype about a cradle. I used to hate when I had to use the cradle for my older BlackBerry. [...]

I know this site has been reviewed here before but I just couldn’t help adding my thoughts, especially since my own Curve needed some serious pimping. (seems like pimping isn’t just exclusive to Sidekicks anymore ;0)
If you’re not familiar with the site, DecalGirl.com offers skins for the Blackberry Pearl, Curve and 8800 (as well as [...]

Review: Prima Black Crystal Lucite Hard Shell Case W/ Belt ClipRating: 8.5/10Link: www.primacases.comPrice: $7.95!!!
The main strength of this case is that it offers pretty good protection for an amazingly low price. While it may not be as tough as an Otterbox this case really protects your BlackBerry. The case is a literally rough on [...]

Review: Krusell Horizon With MultiAdaptRating: 7/10Cost: ~$25Website: www.krussel.se
This is the first Krusell case we will be reviewing in a series. The case is a good contender but it is plagued with a critical flaw. It is a universal case. This means that there are no cutouts for the BlackBerry buttons and ports. It [...]

Review: SENA BlackBerry 8100 LeatherSkin CaseRating: 8/10Cost: $49.99Website: www.senacases.com
I decided to follow up the last SENA LeatherSkin review with a simpler design than the Alligator skin model we reviewed earlier. This model scores half a point higher for having a nicer leather but the leather is still not the same quality as the [...]

Review: SENA BlackBerry 8800 LeatherSkin CaseRating: 7.5/10Cost: $49.99Website: www.senacases.com
With this second SENA case I was a bit disappointed. We tried to go the dangerous route and order a design that was out of the ordinary. In this case we got the SENA case in black Alligator style. While the case was pretty good [...]

One of the moderators on Pinstack, UH8ME, caught wind of the first privacy screen for BlackBerry devices. The privacy screen is made by Case Mate and costs $14.99. It is available for the BlackBerry 8100, 8300, 8700, & 8800 series devices.
If you don’t know what a privacy screen is let me explain. The idea is [...]
