Atheros Selling WiFi Chips To RIM?

At first glance this story on Barrons.com did not look so interesting. It basically reports that Atheros is now selling WiFi chips to RIM which are going into BlackBerrys.
On second glance I read the line that said.

 He says the company already was shipping parts for CDMA Blackberries.

So I have to ask myself are there some [...]

BlackBerry Owners Lounge Comes To the UK

After all the success of the BlackBerry Owners Lounge in North America (all sarcasm is intended) RIM has decided to make it available to our friends across the pond. You can access the UK version by going to:

Authentic BlackBerry Stereo Headset With Noise-Isolating Ear Gels?

Josep sent me a link to a post on Pinstack by chinesecatt about a cool new authentic BlackBerry accessory.

Why Does RIM Not Allow You To Block 3rd Party Icons?

I have always been annoyed with every new device I get because of a simple reason. When you first register your phone on the network you will get up to 15 different homescreen browser shortcut icons on your homescreen! These range from upselling applications to ringtones to Music ID services. AT&T has almost 15 of [...]

FAQ: How To Dial Phone Numbers With Letters

I know many people already know this shortcut but after reading a RIM Knowledgebase article about it I thought I would share it again.
Many companies such as Fed-Ex advertise their numbers like 1–800–GO-FEDEX. The problem is that BlackBerrys do not have the traditional 3 letters per key of other cellphones.
This problem is simply solved by [...]

Free Pub Checkers Game In Owners Lounge

First of all I think it is stupid of RIM to still not allow you to access the Owners Lounge from your BlackBerry. With that said Hayden got the skinny on another free Magmic game, Pub Checkers, in the BlackBerry Owners Lounge. This is just the plain old Checkers game you grew up with.
