I am not sure if you have been keeping up with the touchscreen technology so I will stop to explain. Haptics is essentially a form of forcefeedback. When you push a button on a touchscreen the phone will vibrate in response. Its really that simple. Just as a quick geek fact. Haptics is derived from [...]

RIM is slowly learning what they need to provide for their developer community. Back at WES they announced the BlackBerry Developer Conference which will take place on October 21st & 22nd in Santa Clara, California. Now they are reaching out to the developer community to share their hard earned expertise with everybody else.

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.

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 [...]
