Personally I am never one to put much stock in rumors. They just get my hopes up for a product that we know nothing about. On the other hand I have found on multiple sources online that RIM’s co-Chief Executive  Jim Balsillie has confirmed that a 3G HSDPA phone is right around the corner for GSM [...]

A colleague, Mark, just sent me a link to a great video on YouTube. He sent it to me after reading and agreeing with our previous post about why RIM needs a new advertising agency. According to him this is a link to some new stuff that started as a skunkworks project in RIM from some creative [...]

Seriously after so many years you would think RIM would have learned how to remove Single Points of Failure from mission critical services! While this is not going to make people run out and buy a Windows Mobile device it will reduce peoples confidence in relying on their BlackBerry.
From Marketwatch.com:

…the interruption was brought on by [...]

RIM finally released a press release about their BlackBerry Bluetooth Music Gateway (first seen at CES) today at the Mobile World Congress. You can read it below. The interesting part is that one of BBCool’s readers caught sight and price of the new Music Gateway on Tessco.com selling for $79.99. I guess that will be the [...]

nuTsie is not really a new service since it came out a few months ago. Surprisingly it did not spark the revolution and uptake that nuTsie was hoping for.
A short description of nuTsie:

nuTsie is a new mobile and online music service that allows anyone to listen to their iTunes music and playlists in hi-fi quality [...]

Remember RIM’s last ad campaign and our parody. I was just reading an short article on Adrants.com about RIM’s new advertising campaign. The latest is called Comedy Hits The Hotspot. I am guessing that this is in regard to UMA WiFi calling but seriously RIM could have at least chosen FUNNY comedians to sponsor! I [...]

Some sources are reporting the outage to be over in certain areas. I can confirm that I have been getting email in batches from AT&T and Sprint in NYC on both BES and BIS for the last half an hour. Still no word from RIM…
FYI from RIM previously. I forgot to include it in the last post:

BlackBerry subscribers may [...]

Many of us thought life was going well today when we were not receiving emails all afternoon. Some even thought they may have a chance to get out of the office early. It turns out that RIM had a critical BlackBerry outage all afternoon. Once again all of RIM’s big clients got the below email telling them [...]

Remember those free games we mentioned during CES and after CES? I just got an email about them yesterday with a link to download my free game. The game varies by the device you have but I got the game SKATE for my 8310. The game is a hefty download at over 750Kb.
The SKATE game [...]

It has been AGES since RIM has released some free themes on their http://mobile.blackberry.com website. For over a year now they have had no themes compatible with OS 4.2+. Well that has just changed now that RIM has released two new themes for the latest BlackBerry devices. I am not sure exactly what devices the [...]
