Mark McQueen has a great article at Seeking Alpha about Jim Balsillie’s latest comments at Scotia Capital Tech/Telecom Conference. I always knew the Jim liked to talk big but calling the new BlackBerry Unite Platform the Holy Grail might be a bit premature. I realize that it would be awesome to have all those features [...]

PhoneScoop has just discovered some FCC goodness in a filing by RIM. This is that same 8120 WiFi-Berry you have heard about earlier. It seems that the upcoming 8120 will have UMA but as we mentioned earlier no GPS. The thing that always irks me about these new WiFi devices is why they sometimes come [...]

I just read a very interesting FAQ article on RIM’s Knowledgebase. The article discusses an issue with Belkin routers and the 8320 and 8820 WiFi-berry’s. It turns out that when you connect these berry’s to a Belkin router it may cause your BlackBerry to reboot. The interesting part is that RIM recommends you update to [...]
