So now we know how John Mayer got his BlackBerry Bold back in May. I wonder if he reads BerryReview…
I was just reading on PampelMoose about how RIM has sponsored John Mayer’s Summer Tour. The summer tour has taken center stage on www.johnmayer.com and RIM has even created a little microsite for the tour at [...]

I know many of you have been trying the new FutureShop.ca support of BlackBerry wallet that we told you about. Everybody who installed the support was asked to install an application called RIM’s ECOE or Ecommerce Content Optimization Engine.
This little application is a homescreen shortcut on steroids. Essentially it hijacks you browser and adds website [...]

UPDATE: May be a false alarm. This seems to have application version 4.5.0.37 in a 4.5.0.52 build…
UPDATE #2: Looks like a false alarm. I just thought this was too good to be true and it was. Forgive me for getting your hopes up… Still waiting for confirmation.

Bplay rarely does discounts so I thought this is worth mention. The 30% off is valid off their entire line in their store including games, themes, & ringtones. You just need to enter in the code JULY30 to get the discount.
Check it out at www.bplay.com

Open mouth, insert foot. A day after my rant on BlackBerry Wallet I am already seeing signs of the changing times. Bplay has just announced support for the BlackBerry Wallet application on their website. The application will fill out the forms with your credit card which is pretty cool. Especially since most of the Bplay [...]

I know 2 rants in one day is a bit much but I am curious to learn what happened to this promising application. We told you that it was released back in May. We then followed up with instructions on how to integrate it into a mobile website. Now we are almost 2 months later and [...]

Originally the BlackBerry was designed for business. Now everybody seems to have a smartphone of one sort or another. Josep pointed out to me that RIM even has a section of their site dedicated to students with some pretty crappy offers. We have mentioned the StudentBerry class/task management application previously and I am sure the [...]

“Find & Name that BlackBerry” seems to be the new game in town. We have been guilty of playing quite a few times in the last year. The latest contestant is the knowledgeable Jibi @ BBnews.com.
He managed to confirm that the touchscreen Thunder is now officially the 9500 but that is not really new. Keep in mind [...]

Back in May we told you about a promotion where RIM was giving out $10 gift cards in the owners lounge. I just wanted to let you know that the $10 prepaid AmEx gift cards are just starting to arrive. So if you managed to sign up before the promotion quickly expired you can hope to see [...]

I have heard about this issue a few times today since BIS 2.5 went live with Windows Live push mail. So I thought it would be worth pointing out this Knowledgebase article that Remzi sent me.
Turns out that if you have Windows Live Messenger running on your computer it will not let your BlackBerry work [...]
