Stefano verzonden over deze zeer interessante website. Er is een Uitdaging die van de Kromme van het Blackberry in de afgelopen maand gaat geweest die in Boston op 10 Mei begon. Zij bewogen zich dan op Minneapolis en zullen in Portland op 7 Juni zijn^Th. Het eind van het ras is in San Francisco op 14 Juni^Th. Het grappige deel is dat dit de eerste ik heeft vernomen het is.

Jason Calhoun has released another free theme that Stefano brought to my attention. The theme is called AT&T bottom zen and is meant for AT&T users. The theme has a really nice orange and blue styling. It has a very clean top bar which is sadly missing the profiles icon. The icons are custom and look very nice.

The theme is available for OTA download only for OS 4.2.2+ 8300 & 8800 devices at this link. Thanks Jason!

Now this is a surprising step from RIM. They has just put up a knowledge base PDF file detailing:

Steps to take before selling, or after buying, a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone. (cropped screenshot of PDF below)

It is nice to see that RIM is making an effort to help users who have bought a used BlackBerry or are selling their BlackBerry. The document is pretty good but it is inherently flawed.

Personally I wish they would just make it easier to remove the association of a BlackBerry with a BIS account without having to call them or enter in another device. This causes hundreds of tech support calls

The other problem is that RIM does not make an easy process for reseting the device to default to remove an IT policy after it has been purchased if the device was previously associated with a BES. Now this problem will be exacerbated by the fact that BlackBerry Unite also adds an IT policy to devices.

You can download and view the PDF file at this link.

In a surprising move RIM has decided to take down the OS 4.5.0.37 from their partners website at www.BlackBerryuniverse.com. I wonder what prompted that?

Personally I think that RIM is always focusing on the cup half empty. This is the wrong approach. They should promote public beta testing to allow them to fix more of their bugs before they release the software. The people who install these OS Beta’s are serious BlackBerry users who would be glad to provide RIM with some insight and feedback. Instead of offering this to them and listening to their feedback they just snub their noses at them.

What does RIM have to lose? It is not like they charge for the updated OS? The only harm I can see is for the carrier who has to support a buggy OS. On the other hand they could solve that problem exactly the same way Microsoft does. They just have to say that this beta is unsupported. If you are having trouble please downgrade.

If even the bureaucratic Microsoft can see the benefits of a public beta why is RIM so close minded? Anybody have any ideas?

I know I there are quite a few Traffic camera monitoring programs for BlackBerry but this website is free and works. They have a ton of cities supported and a bunch of cameras. They have 102 in Manhattan. They boast having 5,252 cameras across 9 countries which is pretty impressive.

You can check out the site at www.mobiletraffic.tv or by heading to www.mobiletraffic.tv/wap from your Berry.

I use MobiPocket every day to read books and magazines on my BlackBerry. Its great to always have a book in the bathroom too. The thing is that e-books get a bit expensive if you read as fast as I do so I found two great resources for free books.

www.ManyBooks.net – This site was first was brought to my attention by Josep. It is a great resource where you can find public domain books. The best part is that you can download them directly in MobiPocket format.

www.Gutenberg.org – This is the project Gutenberg website with over 25,000 free books to download. You will have to convert the books into MobiPocket format using the free desktop application.

Let me know if you find any more… Don’t forget to pick up MobiPocket E-Book reader for free from www.mobipocket.com or m.mobipocket.com from your BlackBerry.
