I just received this notification from RIM on what seems to be quite an offer for students, at least when it comes to the Prize Offerings. The $50 bonus offer expires at 11:59 PM EST on November 30th. RIM reserves the right to terminate the offer before this date.

These types of promotions seem to be doing pretty well. The promotion the weather channel ran a few months back broke all records for their website. They had more than a 35% bump in traffic and over 700,000 entries for their contest.

Tricia just let us know that RIM has put up 12 new ringtones on their mobile.BlackBerry.com website. Nothing crazy here but I checked out a few of them and they were actually pretty good. Sadly there is no way to try them out from your PC but you can check them out by heading [...]

RIM sent out a reminder yesterday that the BlackBerry Developer Conference early bird registration discount is over at the end of August. In short that means $799 instead of $999. The conference is on October 21 and 22 in Santa Clara, California. The deadline for papers is today. I wonder if they got anything interesting…

Josep just let me know about the release of these two betas. From the forums it seems like they were released about 2 weeks ago so I am sure many of you know about it already. For those of you who didn’t (including myself) consider this a heads up. Feel free to rag on [...]

I was heading to mobile.blackberry.com on my friends berry and ran into a new message at the top of the page. Turns out that RIM created a page of links that you can use to follow the upcoming Olympics on your BlackBerry. Nothing groundbreaking here since their are only homescreen shortcuts or applications (like Viigo).

I just got an email from RIM that registration is now open for the BlackBerry Developer Conference we told you about before. As a reminder it is in Santa Clara, CA on October 21st and 22nd. I wonder if they got any responses to their call for papers they announced a month ago. If you [...]
