  CrackBerry.com Theme Updates: 8700 Series Love; Updated/New Pearl Themes; DM Installation Now Available!!!

   » ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

  Earlier this week we announced the availability of Free CrackBerry.com User & Abuser BlackBerry themes. Created as a Birthday present to the CrackBerry.com member community by JC Designs / GadgetBean, in just a couple of days the themes have gone on to receive over 6,000 downloads! Wow!! And in response to some of the desires by our members, I'm happy to announce the following:

  8700 Series Themes  - Ask and you shall receive. The theme is now available for the 8700 series, running OS version 4.2.1 or higher. MAKE sure you meet these minimum requirements before installing the theme - if you install on a operating system version that is older you will likely "nuke" your BlackBerry, and I don't want that to happen to anyone (if you do nuke it, the fix is here). Get the 8700 User Version or Abuser Version.

  Updated / New Pearl Themes - All of the Pearl themes have been updated to version 1.1. This update addresses some minor formatting issues in the original version (the Edge network graphic at the top could show up a bit squished). We've also added a third version of this theme to the gallery - the Abuser 2. For a few Pearl users, the BlackBerry Messenger Shortcut was not showing up on the homescreen dock, so John created a version that replaces this shortcut with the Web Browser. Get the Abuser 2 for the Pearl 8100 OS4.2.1 or Pearl 81xx running OS4.2.2 or greater.

  RIM's patent shows touchscreen, slide-out keyboard equipped BlackBerry

   » ‎ IntoMobile » RIM

  

  The image above illustrates RIM's idea to use both a large touchscreen and the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard in their future device(s). As you've just seen, the BlackBerry maker is dreaming of the HTC TyTN like smartphone that would appeal to both multimedia demanding users and the enterprises.

  As with all the patents, the bare fact that there is some technology patented means nothing. As a matter of fact, the patent filling we're discussing today dates back from the mid-2006. On the other hand, we know RIM's onto something. Introduction of the Apple iPhone made every single handset maker turn to interface design and rumor's on the street is that in the not that distant future we'll see a touchscreen equipped BlackBerry. Addition of the full QWERTY keyboard seems like a next logical step…

  See how we slowly getting all the pieces of the puzzle.

  BlackBerry still dominant among business users

   » ‎ IntoMobile » RIM

  As part of a February 11-15 corporate IT pending survey (in the U.S.?), ChangeWave asked respondents involved with IT spending decisions in their organizations who the manufacturer was of the smartphones their company currently provides.

  Guess which company won? Yap, it's the BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, which was favored by nearly three-in-four respondents (73%). Palm took the second place with 18% of respondents citing the Treo maker as the smartphone manufacturer of choice.

  

  In terms of customer satisfaction, even though it's not primarily a business device, iPhone users reported the sky-high satisfaction ratings, with 59% of Apple's business customers say their company is Very Satisfied with the iPhone. To be fair, Apple still has a relatively small share (5%) of the corporate smartphone market.

  RIM Blackberry ranks second with a Very Satisfied rating of 47%, while Palm received the lowest corporate satisfaction rating, with only 10% of corporate users saying their company is Very Satisfied with the Palm Treo.

  

  Looking ahead to the Q2 2008, RIM (77%) is the dominant leader in planned corporate buying of smartphones having jumped 3-pts since the previous survey in November. Apple (11%) is second, and is followed by Palm (8%), Motorola (7%) and Samsung (4%)…

  

  Additional ChangeWave corporate smartphone survey findings are available from here.

  Inkompetenz bei BlackBerry Deutschland?

   » ‎ BlackBerryInsight - Deutsch

  Der Spiegel hat heute ein Vorabvideo ueber “Smartphones auf der CeBIT im Programm. Interessanter Weise scheint dort ein Sprecher von BlackBerry / RIM Deutschland zu sprechen und zu behaupten:

  Der Vorteil eines Smartphones gegenueber einem Handy ist, dass wenn ich mein Handy verliere, sind alle meine Daten weg. Jeder der es findet, kann darauf zugreifen. Er kann meine Freunde anrufen, SMS schicken, das moechte ich nicht. Ein Smartphone hat das durch ein Passwort geschuetzt, das heisst, keiner kann drauf zugreifen und alle meine Daten werden gleichzeitig auf meinem Rechner gesichert […]

  Als ob RIM das Passwort erfunden haette! Mit aller Liebe zum BlackBerry: Bitte bitte liebe HR-Leute bei RIM. Stellt faehige Leute ein, die nicht das Rad neu erfinden und als eigene Weltneuheit verkaufen! Auch die Behauptung des ‘automatischen Backups’ ist mindestens fahrlaessig. Wie bei jedem Mobilegeraet muss man dies auch beim BlackBerry erst aktivieren. Aber funktionieren tut dies auch mit “normalen” Handys.

  Wenigstens ist der Grundton richtig: Smartphones werden boomen in den naechsten Jahren.

  Wir hoffen, der BlackBerry bekommt davon ein gutes Stueck ab!

  Share your PIN on Facebook with Pin Exchange

   » ‎ BlackBerry Sync

  

  The folks over at Crackberry have launched a new Facebook application allowing users to share their BlackBerry device PIN’s. You can add the application to Facebook by heading over to PinExchange.com. Kevin from CrackBerry says:

  “For existing BlackBerry users upgrading to newer device models and for all the first-time BlackBerry owners out there, we wanted to provide an easy way to discover the current device PIN of their friends and associates,” said Kevin Michaluk, CrackBerry.com’s founder and community editor. “The BlackBerry PIN Exchange application does just that, and also adds a social-networking component for those who want it. Now Facebook users, who happen to include a good cross-section of BlackBerry users, have another great way to stay in touch with their contacts and make new friends.”

  CDMA Curve 8330 sooner than you think!

   » ‎ BlackBerry Sync

  

  Ok so here’s the final word on the upcoming and long awaited CDMA BlackBerry Curve 8330. According to a great tipster from RIM the Curve 8330 will be seen before WES in May and should make an apperance within the next month or so. It will NOT be a World Edition and will only feature GPS no Wi-Fi. Verizon, Sprint, Telus and Bell will all see the Curve 8330 shortly, some sooner than others (sorry that’s all we can say for now…) but we promise you will see it rushed out soon.

  Recipes from your BlackBerry

   » ‎ MyBlackberryWorld
  
  The folks over at bigoven.com has developed a mobile version of their website that is accessible from the BlackBerry. Just point your site to "www.bigoven.com/m/" (don't include the quote symbols naturally) and start searching.
  
  It has some interesting entries like "green curry chicken laksa" and "chicken satay sticks with wasabe mayonnaise"... not sure about that though!
