LadyTimer - Ovulation & Period Date Reminder Application
» ‎ BerryReview.com

LadyTimer is a service for women that allows them track their ovulation and period dates. LadyTimer comes in 3 flavors. The first is a free text message service that text messages you reminders before your dates. The second is a calendar that can be used online with no text messages. The third option is a $5 program that works with all BlackBerry models and can be downloaded at the links below. There is a limited trail and I would advise you to take advantage of it since they seem to skimp on a description of what the application actually does. Since this is not something I know much about I will leave it at that =)

BlackBerry Addiction As Diagnosed By Jo Swift
» ‎ BerryReview.com

Jo Swift has written one of the most thought provoking articles I have read about the “BlackBerry Addiction.” He is obviously against our much loved device but his writing shows how many excuses we have for the constant communication do not hold up to scrutiny. He has just announced that he is going on vacation for a month and will be completely oblivious of his inbox during that time. I know this is not the type of article a BlackBerry enthusiast would normally recommend but personally I found it to be a very well written piece.

Some of it just made me laugh out loud:

At a recent Jewish-Muslim dialogue, a Muslim businessman told me his wife referred to the hated gizmo as his “mistress”, demanding he lock it in a drawer from Friday night till Sunday evening, so badly had it disrupted their weekends.

Others parts made me think twice:

I know the arguments, back and forth. “Ah, but my BlackBerry is actually liberating,” says the addict. “It allows me to reduce the mountain of work waiting for me at the office.” Except notice how there’s still plenty for them to do when they get there; if anything, the mountain only seems to get bigger. “Oh, but I need to be in constant touch.” OK. But if your colleagues really need to get hold of you, they can always use the phone.

And others just made so much sense it was scary:

A more truthful explanation (Of the addiction) is that the BlackBerry began as a status symbol, a sign of corporate seniority. The device suggests indispensability and this is the sensation that hooks the user. Of course I have to be contactable: people need me! The line you almost never hear is “my employer makes me carry this thing”. The truth is, we’re doing it to ourselves and this is surely the BlackBerry’s most pernicious feature. A whole cohort of workers are turning themselves into virtual slaves, on duty day and night for no extra payment.

Their work now intrudes into their bathrooms, their bedrooms, even their sleep. The mobile device was sold as a form of liberation: now your office can be the beach. The trouble is, it’s turned the beach into the office.

Paid time off work was a right that had to be fought for and won. Yet now we are giving it away voluntarily, seduced by a neat, shiny little gadget.

BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) Version 2.4 Feature List
» ‎ BerryReview.com

While there are no hard details on when carriers will be launching the new BIS 2.4 there are two new knowledge base articles on BlackBerry.com that explain a few of the new features in BIS 2.4.

The first one: New features in BlackBerry Internet Service 2.4

Automatic login (new BlackBerry Internet Service subscribers only)

New subscribers can create their BlackBerry Internet Service and BlackBerry® Mail 2.4 accounts on their BlackBerry devices without having to create a login user name and password. For more information on Automatic login, see KB13955.

Branded icons for hosted domains

BlackBerry Internet Service 2.4 supports branded mailbox icons for hosted domains on the Homes screen of BlackBerry device. This feature requires that BlackBerry® Device Software 4.2.1 or later be installed on the BlackBerry device and that the organization’s wireless service provider have an existing relationship with Research In Motion.

The second: What is auto-aging in BlackBerry Internet Service 2.4

BlackBerry Internet Service 2.4 subscribers using a hosted BlackBerry Internet Service email address (for example, <user_name>@<service_provider>.BlackBerry.com) do not have a fixed size restriction on their BlackBerry Internet Service accounts. However, email messages older than 30 days are automatically deleted from the messaging server (auto-aged) on the 31st day.

For example, during a 30-day period, the BlackBerry Internet Service subscriber may receive an unlimited number of email messages that may total 100MB but, on the 31st day, messages older then 30 days are automatically deleted. This prevents BlackBerry Internet Service accounts from becoming full and the BlackBerry Internet Service subscriber from receiving a mailbox quota-limit email message.

This is by design and does not apply to third-party email accounts integrated into the BlackBerry Internet Service account.

BlackBerry 8100 charger coming soon
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

The fine Spaniards at miblackberry have spotted an upcoming BlackBerry 8100 dock by the name of BerryBuddy that looks pretty stylin’, especially versus RIM’s clunky thing. RIM’s BlackBerry 8800 and 8300 docking stations are coming out next week, but if the form factor of the accessory doesn’t match the that of the device, it just gives third parties like Innov8 Systems here the opportunity to cash in. More power to ‘em - this new dock is classy. So classy in fact, we’re getting one for review. Keep your eyes peeled.

Pearl TrackBall Disco Light Software Options
» ‎ BerryReview.com

There are now 3 different ways to get disco lights on your BlackBerry Pearl. The latest one in the group just showed up today from MobiReport called Pimp My Berry. The second is Colour Your Trackball by CWorx. The third one is a free application called ColorPearl created by Geeks & Proud AKA MetsFan. The first two cost $5 a pop and the latter is as I mentioned free. Check out the links below if you want to “pimp your berry” personally I would get a seizure if I had to deal with another blinking light on top of the signal light. I really wish one of these developers would come up with a better use of the trackball lights such as signal level indicators or one color for unread email and another for an unread instant message. Check out the links below.

ColorPearl by Geeks & Proud - FREE!

Pimp My Berry by MobiReport - $4.95

Cross Rivers Systems is going to release PocketDay v.5

This is one application I’ve always tested and was never quite happy with the GUI, although its functionality was above average but I was not convinced: head over http://www.pocketday.com/ to see the new features. Its eye candy gallore, so for those users that like pretty looking apps you’ll be more than happy. Its due later this week.

So What Ever Happened to GPS On Verizon’s 8830?
» ‎ BerryReview.com

I have been hearing many complaints from Verizon subscribers on how GPS is crippled on their new 8830’s. People have been discussing it on the forums for a few months now and today it was just covered by Dave in his US News Blog. This is really frustrating since it seems that AT&T will be going down the same road with the new 8820 by disabling GPS. I guess carriers feel they need to make money off everything. This happened with Verizon and Bluetooth and now it seems like the trend is only growing stronger.

On a side note, Sprint’s 8830 does have GPS enabled for free and they were one of the first companies to charge for TeleNav. Maybe we can take this as a hint that forcing customers to use TeleNav for GPS did not work. This trend suggests that even if RIM creates the ultimate BlackBerry, if carriers aren’t making money off the extra features they wont care. This is the same reason that we still can’t get the AOL and MSN messenger clients on our BlackBerry’s even though the software already exists.

BlackBerry 8310 comes to Portugal
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

In other international releases today, we’ve got the GPS-enabled BlackBerry 8310 coming to Portugal via Vodafone. It won’t take long for the 8310 to get all over Europe, considering rumors of an imminent UK release, and the initial German announcement. Of course, it’s pretty much standard that Europe gets all the shiny toys before us across the pond, just like it’s inevitable that the Orient will be doing crazier wireless things than, well, anybody else.

BlackBerry 8300 launches in Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

Latin America’s getting a bit of BlackBerry love today, what with the BlackBerry 8300 launch by Telcel in Mexico and Digicel in Trinidad and Tobago. Digicel’s Curve is going for $3899 TTD, or $620 US, and Telcel’s for … man, my Spanish is rusty. No luck finding the price on Telcel’s site. Any speakers out there who can get a lock down on the BlackBerry 8300’s price in Mexico gets a gold star. Although the BlackBerry 8300 is just coming out now in Mexcio, some sneaky forum members have been able to get one across the border and activated A-O-K before official release.

Smartphone Experts is the Fastest Growing Retail Company In America & CrackBerry.com is Glad to Join the Family!
» ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

Wow, has it ever been an exciting couple of weeks. The Press Release we just published tells part of the tale. I am so happy to be able to announce that CrackBerry.com is now a member of the Smartphone Experts Family. CrackBerry.com is now securely in a position to keep getting bigger and better for years and years to come.

And as if this news was not enough, Inc.com has just posted the Inc. 5000 List of the Fastest Growing Companies in America. Guess who's #1 on the list of the Fastest Growing Retail Companies in America? Smart Phone Experts!

A big congratulations go to Marcus Adolfsson, SPE's CEO, and the whole Smart Phone Experts team on this fantastic achievement. The "Crack Team" had a hunch in selling CrackBerry.com to SPE that we were putting its ownership into capable hands, and this further validates just how right we were!

If you're wondering what this all means for CrackBerry.com and the "Crack Team", don't worry, it's ALL GOOD! The BlackBerry Experts (Addicts?!) that started the site will continue to remain involved in the site's ongoing operation and editorial. CrackBerry.com has been a huge success since going live in February this year, and by taking the strong base we have established and adding Smartphone Experts' knowledge, experience, and resources to the mix there is no doubt The #1 Site for BlackBerry Users (& Abusers!) is going to take BlackBerry Addiction to the next level!

Smartphone Experts Acquires CrackBerry.com
» ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

INVERNESS, Fla., August 22, 2007 – Smartphone Experts (SPE), an e-commerce platform and smartphone accessory development company, has bolstered its portfolio of smartphone community sites by acquiring CrackBerry.com, a popular BlackBerry site. Having a community site tied in with BBerry.com, the BlackBerry accessories store that opened in June 2006 allows Smartphone Experts to provide BlackBerry users with a one-stop shop for all their needs.

“In a way CrackBerry.com and BBerry.com have followed a parallel track, reaching out to the continuously growing number of BlackBerry owners,” said Marcus Adolfsson, president of Smartphone Experts. “We are excited to be joining forces with such a strong team dedicated to helping BlackBerry users get the most out of, and now for, their devices.”

“The acquisition by Smartphone Experts means that we are are now part of a family of smartphone community websites,” said Kevin Michaluk, founder of CrackBerry.com. “I am proud that CrackBerry.com is becoming SPE's flagship BlackBerry-focused community site, following in the footsteps of such well-known and successful sites as TreoCentral.com and WMexperts.com.

“The winning team at CrackBerry.com has done an amazing job of building such a vibrant community that has been a favorite in the media, both traditional and online,” said Dieter Bohn, vice president of communities for Smartphone Experts. “We are excited to work with their ‘Crack Team’ of writers and moderators to deliver the types of news, reviews, first looks that will continuously ‘wow’ and inform BlackBerry users.”

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

New Sprint Pearl 2 details
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

Following the brief viewing of an EVDO Pearl, a few more official-looking details have leaked through on Sprint’s Pearl 2. The 2 megapixel camera seems to be what the Pearl 2 will be packing (so long, dreams of 3 megapixels), and is slated for a Q4 release this year. That time frame lines up nicely with rumors of Telus releasing their own Pearl 2 before the end of the year.

(While Simon seems to think that these new Sprint Pearl details confirm that a 3.2 Mpx camera is not to be in RIM’s next SureType BlackBerry, I’m holding firm on my stance that the new GSM Pearl will have sweet 3.2 Mpx camera goodness, as well as other features such as Wi-Fi, while the CDMA variant will be more of a ‘tweener 1.5 Pearl, ed.)

Survey Shows that BlackBerry is #1; Treo Demand Continues to Slide; iPhone Hits the Ground Running
» ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

ChangeWave Investing likes to get their hands dirty when doing their stock research. Every four months they conduct a survey on smartphone demand, and the results of their July survey show a clear changing of the guard based on the 3,003 respondents polled.

It's good news for Research in Motion. To the question "Who is the manufacturer of your current smartphone?" they widened their lead to 38% from 33% in April's survey. It's bad news for Palm, who's demand for Treo devices are continuing to slide. Consider that the quantitative reason why Engadget flamed them this week.

The October 2007 Survey will really show the true Tale of the Tape. In the July survey, Apple's iPhone had 4% of the respondents' market share, which is impressive considering the phone was only available for literally a few days when the survey was conducted. Continue that early success for four months and its possible they will leap Palm and be breathing down RIM's neck.

What is the BlackBerry PIN?
» ‎ BBnuke.com

PIN means Personal Identification Number. Each handheld has a unique PIN, like every phone line has a unique phone number. PINs are up to 8 digits long.

If you know the PIN of another BlackBerry handheld, you can send messages directly to that PIN rather than to the person's email address. Enter the PIN in the address entry for that person and select Use PIN when you send the message.

You can find your PIN by selecting the Options icon, then selecting Status. Your PIN appears in the Status screen. Your PIN is also displayed in the BlackBerry Desktop Redirector and in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
