I have been hearing so many conflicting reports about whether this will work or not on the new BlackBerry 8310 curve. I just purchased the new Sandisk 6GB card to give it a try and will report back when I get them tomorrow or the day after. Even RIM seems to be a little confused [...]

I just tried the game Yet Another Tetris on my BlackBerry 8800 and was pleased with how playable it was. The game is completely free and has some great and challenging playing modes.

I was just reading a post on Corey Gilmore’s blog about his attempt to change the keyboard on his gray BlackBerry 8830 to a black keyboard. His exact words are “It looks like crap.” I know many people have been considering the change since the see through keys on the 8830 do not light up [...]
