Review: Guitar Hero Mobile by Magmic/BplayRating: 9/10Cost: $14.99 (1 time fee) or $4.49/month subscriptionWebsite: www.bplay.com
Bplay has done a wonderful job of recreating the Guitar Hero experience on the BlackBerry. I was forced to dock a whole point off the rating for one simple reason. The controls are a bit clumsy on the curve or 8800 series. On [...]

T-Mobile and RIM finally came out of the closet and announced the release of the 8120 with WiFi. Not much else is new but it is the Pearl 2. The cool part about the whole release is the chance to win one of over 1,000 BlackBerry 8120s just by registering at this link. Winners are [...]

I always love when carriers just shoot themselves in the foot. Verizon announced today that they will release the 8330 in… wait for it… May. Talk about seriously dangling the proverbial carrot. All the other carriers have had the Curve for months! Oh an by the way WES is in… May.
The only two features that look [...]

Magmic has come through on their release schedule by putting out two new games today. The best part is that they have managed to get a 24 hour trial for Big Kahuna Words. This is a big step for Bplay since many previous games did not have trials. Hopefully this will pan out for more [...]

Bplay has released an interesting new line of themes relating to your Zodiac symbol. While the Zodiac is not generally my cup of tea I thought it was interesting to see Bplay stretch beyond the Icon, Today, and Zen categorization of their themes. The have added a new specialty category for these Zodiac themes with [...]

Okay I am going to need some help with this theme. I remember seeing it on mobile.blackberry.com a few times since it just showed up earlier this month. I just am not sure which devices the theme is available for since RIM does not tell you outright. I have checked and it worked with an [...]

After us mistakenly posting (Thanks Kevin) about the 8120 being released on T-Mobile today I decided to verify this one. In a not so surprising move AT&T has grabbed up the 8120 today for general release. It has been passing around business channels for a bit now so I guess a consumer release was to be expected.
You can [...]

One of our readers, Matt, sent in an email that the Facebook app for BlackBerry has been quietly updated to a new version. As is common with RIM we will get no changelog so I guess I will have to ask all of you to tell us if you notice anything different. The latest version [...]

T-Mobile has launched the much awaited 8820 today. I was just reading about it on phonemag.com. What is interesting is that the 8100 black and white version are out of stock. Maybe they are planning to add the 8120 series soon? Rumors have been abound…
You can pick up the 8820 currently from T-Mobile’s website for [...]
