You can [...]

Magmic came through on their promise to release 2 games every 2 weeks on Thursdays. This Thursday brings a Bruce Lee: Iron Fist and Shock Blocks to the BlackBerry. Bruce Lee has to be the first fighting game I have ever seen for the BlackBerry so you can bet that we will review it. Shock [...]

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 [...]

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:
www.blackberry.co.uk/ownerslounge

Josep sent me a link to a post on Pinstack by chinesecatt about a cool new authentic BlackBerry accessory. The new release is two models of stereo headset/headphones with eargels and answer/end and mute phone call controls. The headphones come in both 2.5mm and 3.5mm variants so this works with the newer and older model [...]

WATERLOO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2008) - Research In Motion Limited (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM)(TSX:RIM) today provided an update on forecasted net subscriber account additions [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
