I am not so into the whole touchscreen idea myself but Fudzilla is reporting that the Thunder is scheduled to launch on Verizon on October 8th. David Stellmack does qualify that prediction by saying that it still needs to “clean the final Verizon hurdles.”
Not much else new other than the fact that it will [...]

Now this is an interesting turn of events. David just sent me a news article detailing how Verizon’s current contract with their union expires at 11:59PM on Saturday. Both the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (Over 65,000 members) have voted to strike if a new 5 year deal [...]

T-Mobile is introducing a new feature today that lets parents limit what their children can do on their cellphones. I think AT&T has something similar but it costs more if I remember correctly. T-Mobile is offering this for a very reasonable $2/month for the whole family. The $2/month seems to be a limited time offer [...]

Just go to www.blackberry.com/instantmessaging/ from your BlackBerry!
You then click the search button and [...]

I know I have been wanting more of my banks to support mobile access so I guess this is good news. I just wish it were not limited to Verizon only. Verizon just released a FREE application that lets you access your bank accounts and perform a few basic functions.
So far it gives you:

Over the last few weeks, we have been hearing quite a bit about the upcoming BlackBerry Thunder. The point that many people, including myself, have glossed over is the fact that it is coming to Verizon.
Verizon is notorious for trying to monetize every feature on their phones. If they can’t monetize it, they try to [...]

Paul sent in a great detailed description on how to get Verizon to unlock the GSM portion of your BlackBerry 8830 worldphone FREE. This is not really news since I have heard of people doing this successfully for quite awhile but Paul actually detailed the steps. If you do unlock your phone using this method [...]

David sent in this article he found on Engadget. Turns out that the AP tracked down the first device to take advantage of Verizon’s “OPEN” network.
Guess what it is? It’s a simple monitoring device for gas containers to monitor the levels and text message their remaining capacity to a central location to notify them when [...]
