Smartphone Round Robin: An iPhone User’s Final Thoughts and a Treo User’s First Impressions of the BlackBerry Curve
» ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

We are well into Week #2 of the Round Robin, with everyone now onto their second smartphone of the month. I survived a week with the AT&T Tilt and am now using a Palm Treo 680. I don’t have my initial impressions up yet as I ran into a small snag – the unlocked Treo I received didn’t like my Rogers SIM card so I haven’t been able to get fully intimate with it just yet. I’ve still managed to play with the 680 and get to know it, but without a SIM card inserted it’s just not the same. I received another unlocked Treo 680 today (SIM card is working and the battery is charging as I type this) so look for my initial impressions tomorrow.

In the meantime, I thought it would make sense to check in on how the BlackBerry Using Editors in the Round Robin have fared so far. Mike at PhoneDifferent spent a whole week with the BlackBerry Curve 8310 and has now moved onto the AT&T Tilt I was using, while Jennifer over at TreoCentral has passed the iPhone she was using onto WMExpert's Dieter Bohn and is now using the BlackBerry Curve 8310. Confusing I know, but THAT’s why it’s called a Round Robin! The best way to stay on top of who has what is by checking out the Latest Updates section on the official Round Robin website. Read My take on Mike and Jennifer’s BlackBerry Curve take after the jump!

BlackBerry Digital Pen gets thumbs up from RIM
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

Solutions in Motion, distributers of PaperIQ’s page-scanning pen which wirelessly transmits data to your handheld, have announced that they’ll be shipping a BlackBerry-specific product to the Great White North. We scoped out something similar awhile ago, but this new one from Solutions in Motion is getting RIM’s stamp of approval. The package comes with text recognition software which can save what you’re writing as a Word document, as well as integrated options for e-mailing right off the page. As cool as the Digital Pen is, it ain’t cheap…

“The Digital Pen for Blackberry will be available for $439 with a limited-time $40 rebate. In the box is the pen, a 128-page digital notebook, replacement ink, docking station with computer hook-up, travel charger, and information on the [Solutions in Motion]-based subscription that is required for use. The first year subscription will cost $101, after which it is available for as low as $130/year. Additional digital notebooks can be purchased through SIM.”

Facebook application crashes BlackBerrys?
» ‎ BB Geeks

Scouring the web, we came across this anecdote of someone who had their BlackBerry crash after a week of using the Facebook application. The problem lies right in the application’s convenience. Messages and alerts from Facebook are sent to your phone, but instead of being hosted on Facebook’s servers, they are stored locally on your phone. For this user, it caused his email, call history, and Facebook messages to be deleted.

So what about you? Any issues among the BlackBerry faithful regarding the new application?

Final Opera Mini 4 released
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

After a short third beta, Opera Mini 4 is now ready for your mobile browsing needs. The classic tabbed browsing remains, but the Opera Link function introduced in the last beta should be an interesting new feature to try out. It will let you sync your bookmarks between desktop and handheld, as well as providing web-based access to your favourites for when you’re not using Opera. Thanks, ikasen!

Rumor: BlackBerry OS 4.3 Coming Soon to RIM’s Curve Models
» ‎ BlackBerry-Curve.net

We know BlackBerry OS 4.3 is on the new BlackBerry Pearl 8130, so it’s not much of a leap to expect the platform upgrade will soon show up for other RIM devices.

According to information at crackberry.com , here’s a little of what you can expect out of the OS 4.3 update:

You will be able to record video using the Curve with this update, for example. And when you record video in the dark the flash remains on the entire time to make sure you can see what you’re recording. Interesting note, you cannot record video while connected to the PC.

Also, the Dimension L theme will be in the OS upgrade for the Curve. This theme combines the icons from the top left side of the screen with icons along the bottom, giving you more icons on the home screen, while still allowing your desktop image take up the most space and attention.

How Is The Old T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl Doing?
» ‎ RIMarkable

Over the passed day or so, I’ve been taking a look at various smartphones that target individual consumers across various networks and one thing that I noticed was that T-Mobile’s original BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is much less expensive than everything else out there.

The device itself, with a two year service plan, costs under a $150 bucks after a mail-in rebate which is on par with the lowest of the low on devices that can be considered smart phones. Then there is the $9.99 unlimited data plan. Well, that is just unheard of.

T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Pearl is not only a very inexpensive option for a smartphone, but, is an attractive option as a feature phone as well.

I think that the the “Old School BlackBerry Pearl” will do very well this holiday season.

Rumors: NextAction! based task application for better productivity on BlackBerry devices
» ‎ BlackBerryInsight

Just heard about some rumors on a new task application for BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds.

It is supposed to be somewhat similar to NextAction! from S4BB Limited which makes it pretty easy to access tasks without creating a filter first. Moreover, it should have been built for a lot of tasks on your BlackBerry and synchronizes with nearly all desktop and enterprise task applications on the market. (This would be just like NextAction!). Besides this it is supposed to add support for due dates and everything you can imagine in a task application.

BlackBerryInsight will try to get a free preview version for you!

Who needs to catch up?
» ‎ DevBerry

Recently I was reading an article on allblackberry.com which talks about how the next big thing for the BlackBerry ought to come from the software world. I completely agree, and please note I added the emphasis here on ‘ought’. What I did not agree with however is the comment made in this article that “We need developers to catch up to RIM, and offer some paradigm changing solutions that take full advantage of this cool device known as a BlackBerry.“

RIM needs to catch up to us. I’ll explain why.

Firstly, let’s put all the cards out on the table. The BlackBerry is a business targeted smart phone. Do you know what the most popular third-party applications are for the BlackBerry?

1) Office viewing and editing packages

2) Attachment viewers

3) A decent email client (courtesy of us!)

In other words, these are the tools people are buying because the native functionality is so bad. This is marketed as a business phone remember? Do I really need to spell it out here what this implies about RIM when it comes software? These are not applications people buy for Windows Mobile or Palm. They got their act together long ago.

The fundamental problem with the BlackBerry is how exceptionally limiting it is to developers. Unlike Windows Mobile which has a real Operating System, the BlackBerry is really just a bastardized email pager, with everything else tacked on around this. This is also why Windows Mobile is more slow and unstable for now. And it’s also the reason the BlackBerry has such kick-ass battery life compared to other devices: The other devices are actually doing all the things a real OS does in the background!

Go and have a look at the type of applications developers are able to make for Windows Mobile devices…Pretty flashy ey? See all the cool stuff they can do? Before you ask, no, we can’t do that. If I had access to all the things I should have access to, I any many other developers I know could write an address book application that wipes the floor with RIMs. We could write a phone application that is king. We could change around completely the way options are presented to users instead of what currently looks like the output of an ls command on a *nix terminal. We could rid ourselves of unintuitive and extremely long menus to do everything.

But we can’t. And that’s a damn shame, because I actually like the BlackBerry…

Cost: $7.99 USD Developer/Vendor: Pop Cap Games/Magmic

This game has given me a heap of quiet time as my wife has developed an addiction to this game which stems back to its release in 2005 on PC and Mac. When my boss gave me the opportunity to review this one, I knew I would be without my BlackBerry for days if not weeks! So, with thanks to my wife Val, I have written up quite an in-depth review on Bookworm. So much for her being afraid of modern technology!

One of the first tools every BlackBerry developer will be exposed to is the RIM JDE.
