Link: www.getempower.com
OTA: www.getempower.com/ota/

Empower InstaSpell has been around for quite awhile now but after RIM came out with a free native spell checker I thought it would be irrelevant. Now that I have had a few months to play with the native [...]

RANT! BlackBerry Platform Not Developer Friendly

Recently we posted about a rant by Neil, the developer of BBSmart HTML Email Viewer, on his blog DevBerry.com. It seems that Neil is not alone. Jonathan Fisher, the developer of BlackBerry Web Shortcuts and a few freebie games, has added his thoughts to the mix.
Both of these developers are essentially making some very similar complaints. RIM has not [...]

Free Kargo BlackBerry Theme From RIM During CES Only!

Not sure exactly which devices are compatible with this theme but I am sure It works on the Curve and Pearl series devices. The theme is actually quite slick and is designed by Scott Campbell the Tattoo artist. Scott is releasing a new line of decal stickers (called tattoos) for BlackBerry but I have not [...]

RIM Mobile Website Gets Another Overhaul…

…and now it looks worse than it did before! Seriously will RIM ever learn? In June we mentioned how RIM had redesigned its mobile.blackberry.com site from the cool flashy homepage to a new static one. They also removed many of the free games they had previously offered and now only rotated them.

Free Holiday Midnight Pool Game In BlackBerry Owners Lounge

RIM is giving away copies of Holiday Midnight Pool for the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl series devices. This game seems to be Gameloft’s Holiday Midnight Pool game for the BlackBerry.
The downloads are available from the BlackBerry Owners Lounge and do not have OTA options. I never really understood RIM’s reasoning for separating their mobile site [...]

FAQ: How To Password Protect Your BlackBerry

I am paranoid about security so I found this Knowledgebase article by RIM very useful. In this article RIM describes the exact steps you need to take to put your BlackBerry device in lockdown. It does not include instructions on how to encrypt the memory card and device memory but that is a straight forward [...]

RANT! RIM & Facebook Annoying BlackBerry Users

It seems like T-mobile has decided to push out a link to all of their BlackBerry subscribers for their Facebook application. I have already received two emails about it so I thought I would let everybody else in on the details.
RIM and T-mobile have pushed out a link to many T–mobile BlackBerry users that puts [...]

RIM Advertises 8310 In Times Square, New York

It is not just any device that gets blown up for the whole world to see in Times Square. I was strolling down the block this Christmas Eve and was astonished to see such a large ad for BlackBerry devices. Just thought you would enjoy seeing a BlackBerry 8300 blown up and plastered on a NYC skyscraper. [...]

1.65 Million New BlackBerry Users - RIM Scores In Q3

I guess this means Wall Street is back in love with RIM. They have posted some great results for this last quarter. Analysts were pretty conservative the past few weeks but the numbers RIM has posted are above even their highest expectations.
I am not much of a stock market guru but I can tell you [...]

RIM To Have 10% Of Smartphone Market By Year End

I just read an article on FOX Business News about an ABI Research forecast of RIM owning 10% of the smartphone market by year end. As Fox points out RIM has been growing every quarter from 7.2% in Q3 2006 to 9.5% in the last quarter. That puts RIM in second place after Nokia in [...]
