India Sidesteps BlackBerry Ban: Negotiations to Continue
» ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

All is happy in India once again. For now. In an interview today, India's telecommunications secretary Siddhartha Behura commented:

“There is no question of banning at this point.”

Behura then went on to assure everyone the government is working out the issues with the four
mobile service providers and RIM executives.

The BlackBerry is distributed in India by Reliance Communications, BPL Mobile, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Essar. Representatives from each are slated to meet Friday evening to further resolve any outstanding issues.

I wouldn't say things are out of the water yet... But it certainly looks like constructive dialog and negotiation are taking place to resolve the issues in a timely manner.

BerryReview BlackBerry Theme Directory Beta - Check It Out!
» ‎ BerryReview.com

Over time we have had hundreds of requests to list all of our favorite themes in one place. Originally we created a very simple theme directory many of you are familiar with. I was not happy with that so we created a new beta directory of all the themes we have ever mentioned on BerryReview, WITH SCREENSHOTS! Pretty cool. We really have been pushing the envelope with what Wordpress can accomplish. Please let us know what you think by leaving a comment! Also let us know if you think there should be more information such as the release date or the ability to rate the theme.

You can view the directory while it is in Beta at the following links below. The themes are clearly shown as free or commercial and you can sort by each column. I really hope you like it. Hopefully we will soon be adding the ability to submit a theme for consideration. We are starting off with the 8100, 8300, & 8800 series devices but the others are coming. If you don’t find a theme you like check out some of the professional themes by our sponsor Bplay.

BBGeekcast: March 14, 2008 - Episode 3
» ‎ BB Geeks

Podcasting is like blogging in so many ways. What I’ve noticed most is that it takes a while to get used to the medium. I’ve been blogging since 2005, but I didn’t hit any kind of groove until late 2006 at the earliest. So trust me when I say I’ve been wary of my performance on the podcast for the first two weeks. But I think we’ve got a good one this week, where we wrap up the happenings of the week. And I got Rae Hoffman, founder of BBGeeks.com, to do a little segment for us.

So click on over here to hear the BBGeekcast (11 min, 37 sec)

And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you won’t miss future episodes!

Highlights include:

The Pearl 8120 touches down at AT&T. And it’s got a secret present: WiFi. I’ve been dying for a WiFi BlackBerry, so I’m pretty envious of T-Mobile Curve and eventual AT&T Pearl users. Speaking of the Curve, I also talk about the Curve coming to Telus, and how it was pretty much exposed as a Photoshopped hoax. We’re still waiting on that one….

Puretracks is preparing to launch a DRM-free music store for the BlackBerry. This is going to be an over-the-air service, so there are still concerns about the data rates in Canada and the speed of the EDGE network. But all in all, it’s a cool service. And I want my copy of Liberal Animation back!

I touched briefly on the Gmail topic we had been discussing this week. Upon further inspection, I’m sticking with the application for now.

And, of course, I chatted with the lovely Rae Hoffman.

Hope you enjoy the show. As always, I promise that if you listen, I won’t be boring.

India and RIM come to terms on BlackBerry encryption
» ‎ IntoMobile » RIM
So it looks like RIM's encrypted BlackBerry network will keep on keeping on in India. Following a meeting between Indian government officials and representatives from the wireless industry, India has decided to let the encrypted BlackBerry system continue operating.

"We will discuss the issue with the Telecom Commission… the country's security is of paramount importance," said Telecom Minister A Raja today.

We're not sure what kind of issues are going to be discussed, but we'd be willing to bet that backdoor access to BlackBerry networks will be brought up more than once…

At least Indian BlackBerry fans can go about their merry push emailing ways.

Weekly Contest: Busted Berrys
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

St. Patrick’s Day is nearly upon us, which means your BlackBerry might be getting into some rowdy situations over the booziest holiday of the year. After getting my mitts on the latest addition to the OtterBox lineup, I got to think thinking about all the rough situations that BlackBerrys must go through (and no, not just the ones made up by overenthusiastic accessory reviewers). It’s tough to pry a BlackBerry from your average user’s steely thumbs, so that means they really do go everywhere. Maybe it’s high time we hear some war stories about the toughest situations your BlackBerry’s been through… nevermind if the thing survived the ordeal, be it defenestration, long falls, killer temperatures, or fun times with oncoming highway traffic. Just post your best tale of BlackBerry battery and get your pick of super-tough cases from OtterBox.

We got a lot of interest in what’s going on with the iPhone last week, some saying that the iPhone’s just about ready to take the enterprise market by storm, but most have at least a few concerns about its viability. It pretty much goes without saying, though, that Tracy Whitt had the most extensive list of reasons to not even bother with the iPhone right now. Most notably was getting rid of the “one size fits all” model that Apple has adopted. Not every company is built the same, and simply making new iPhones with bigger storage capacities isn’t enough to get CIOs to bite. Although we’ve got no worries about Tracy sticking with BlackBerry, we’re setting him up with a copy of FlipSide just so he can tell the iPhone fanboys “Yeah, mine does that too.” Thanks everyone for the entries, and hope to see you again this week!

BlackBerry Case Review: Speck Products SeeThru Case and Holster for the BlackBerry Curve Series
» ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

To Protect and Preserve (the original look)

OK, You just got the BlackBerry Curve – one of the slimmest, coolest and hottest Smartphones on the planet. Depending on the model, you paid anywhere from $99.00 to $250 or more for it. You hold it in your hand and it feels so nice, thin and…..fragile. You don’t want to drop it, but we all drop our BlackBerry at some point. So, you need a case to protect it…just in case (sorry about the pun). Luckily, there are lots of options at the ShopCrackBerry.com Store.

One of the things I love about my 8320 is the color – I don’t necessarily want to mask or cover that up in a case. Fortunately, I have a good option in the Speck Products SeeThru Case for the BlackBerry Curve 8300 series.

Lawyers get a taste of their own medicine…
» ‎ BerryReview.com

Got another excellent email from a friend again today that I just thought I would share with you all…Again.

Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know me?’ She responded, ‘Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you’ll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.’
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?’
She again replied, ‘Why yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He’s lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.’
The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,
‘If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you both to the electric chair.’

How To Get Offline GPS Mapping With TrekBuddy
» ‎ BerryReview.com

Josep sent me a link to a post by James on Medicalnerds.com about how to setup offline maps on your BlackBerry. I had been looking into this a few months back with no success so I am glad somebody has finally figured it out. You will find that this is not just a simple install. You have to work to get this going. I did follow the instructions to some degree and it took quite a bit of fiddling to get it to work.

If offline maps are important to you I would highly recommend reading this article. The instructions are good and walk you through it step by step. I just have to say thanks to James for documenting this.

Hopefully this will be a nonissue after WES. I have been hearing rumors about a GPS application with onboard maps for the BlackBerry this past week. Thats all I can say for now.

BlackBerry Trojan Proto-Type.
» ‎ BerryReview.com

Just read an interesting article on Tech2.com regarding a trojan that may be emerging for the BlackBerry.

For the whole article just zip over to Tech2.com : http://www.tech2.com/india/news/smart-mobile-phones/blackberry-gets-its-first-trojan/31421/0 .

This is a quote from the article whitepaper:

“ as soon as a Trojan for the BlackBerry is out and making its rounds, Blackberry users are going to have a problem with keeping their data secure. A hacking code called the BB Hacking toolkit, which comes with the Blackberry Trojan called BBProxy is what can be deployed into a BlackBerry server and it’s ‘Troy’ all over again. What this deceitful Trojan does is open up a back-door to the company’s BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and the information stored is then up for grabs. In technical terms it will bypass all the company’s security systems that protect data stored on the servers. Not only can the hacker simply remove information undetected they could also infect the system itself.”

Cause for concern ???

Crime-fighting application appears on BlackBerry
» ‎ BB Geeks

Imagine if Batman had a BlackBerry. Man, just think of all the nifty things he could do with it. For starters, he could probably ditch half of his utility belt. No, I doubt he could shoot his grappling hook out of the BlackBerry’s speaker, but he sure could use it to get information on the Joker and that pestilent Penguin. Maybe the folks at BIO-key International had Batman in mind when they released the PocketCop application this week. It’s a law enforcement tool that allows officers to get information on things like wanted persons and stolen property right from their handheld devices.

BIO-key added integration with computer-aided dispatch systems for sending status updates silently and securely. The feature is scanner-proof, which is critical in surveillance and undercover operations, BIO-key said in a statement.

PocketCop 3.5 also takes advantage of BlackBerry’s built-in browser and its “over-the-air” deployment capabilities to turn the smartphone into a thin client on demand. Automatic software updates ensure that any enhancements get installed quickly and easily, according to the vendor.

The program was actually tested by the St. Paul Police Department, where it was a success. It even “exceeded every expectation we had,” according to lead IT analyst Glen Pettit.

Of course, you and I won’t be able to take advantage of this, as it’s only available to law enforcement agencies and sworn officers of the law. It ain’t cheap, either: New clients will be forking over $5,000 to get set up.

Indian BlackBerrys safe from ban
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

The worst case scenario stemming from last week’s security concers has been averted, as top Indian officials have ruled out the possibility of a BlackBerry ban.

“There is no question of banning at this point,” Telecoms Secretary Siddhartha Behura told reporters on the sidelines of an industry conference. “We are not interested that we say BlackBerry will not used in this country,” he said, adding the telecoms department was “very keen” the services should continue.

The goal at this point is simply to get carriers, namely Reliance and Bharti Airtel, to pressure RIM into providing some key security information to government officials. It’s certainly a sign of good faith that the department is still enthusiastic about BlackBerry service, but the fact remains that if RIM wants to play nice, they’ll comply and fork over the codes.

Exhibitor Spotlight: Vox Mobile
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

Vox Mobile splits their offerings into three broad categories: Mobile Technology Management, Wireless Expense Management, and Professional Services. The first gets, configures, and deploys mobile devices — including, of course, the BlackBerry. The second fine tunes an existing setup, by managing bandwidth and other areas to reduce costs and increase service. Vox states that many businesses are overpaying in this area by as much 30%. Finally, their Professional Services offers to support and implement server platforms, including BES. Kind of a one-stop shop for enterprises. Their offerings at WES should be well worth checking out.

Corporate Themes ?
» ‎ BerryReview.com

I’ve posted an article regarding advertising already this week so I will stick to the subject for a bit. I would like to know, are there any corporate themes out there ? I’m talking about all your standard big names like Nike, Ford or American Airlines.
Now I know all your major carriers have there own themes but I just thought if a couple of big name companies came on board then the rest will follow. It could work something like this…Your large corporation (that are willing to put there logos anywhere these days, even tattooed on sports stars) could pay a developer to design and make up a cool theme. It could then be offered for FREE on a site like this or CrackBerry, etc, etc.
You can then choose you themes with you favorite company logo. Being a high quality built theme, they could include all the best theme options. At the end of the day, it’s a win win situation. The companies get their advertising on your BlackBerry and your CrackBerry addict gets a heap more themes to choose from. I for one would not have a problem with running a Jeep, Dodge or Caterpillar theme on my BlackBerry.

The first BlackBerry trojan… sort of
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

The folks at Tech2 posted about a white paper published on BlackBerry security, namely what is lawfully interceptible, and how to avoid hacking. Part of the paper is based on a prototype trojan that could be delivered to a BlackBerry on BES and leave the company’s server unguarded. It was developed by an information security company, who released the information to RIM before taking it public. The trojan, called BBProxy, works by allowing a hacker to essentially piggyback on any connections made to BES. Once installed on a BlackBerry, the hacker can connect to it via computer and have complete access to everything the BlackBerry connects to. The article does include some simple steps administrators can take to prevent it from working, but fair warning: it is heavy on IT-speak. Earlier security reports acknowledged the threat of Trojans on BlackBerry, but we’ve yet to see an instance in the wild…

Indian Telecoms Secretary “Very Keen” That BlackBerry Services Should Continue
» ‎ RIMarkable

Remember the other day when we said that India banned the BlackBerry? Well, Telecoms Secretary, Siddhartha Behura, told reporters at an industry conference that “There is no question of banning at this point.”

The department of telecoms will meet with the representatives of the four wireless providers that currently offer BlackBerry service in India.

“We are not interested that we say BlackBerry will not be used in this country”, said Behura. ”
We want operators to talk to BlackBerry people and put pressure on them to provide the necessary and satisfactory answers to security agencies. That is why we are talking to them.”

I guess it kind of sucks if you are Indian telecom Tata Teleservices. They were the company that had their application to offer BlackBerry service rejected, however, they weren’t invited to the meeting.

Android SDK > 750,000 Downloads
» ‎ DevBerry

Well, I did report that the iPhone SDK has been downloaded more than 100,000 times so it’s only fair to put that in to context. I picked up this little tidbit of information from what I thought was a very cynical article run by The Register. Personally I hate The Register and have found with many previous articles that the authors tend to twist minor details to suit whatever fairy land concept they dreamed up. So, before actually doing any research in to articles they write, I imagine they’ve already nailed down what their perspective will be and then go and hunt for information that would give credence to it. A lot of Register articles I’ve noticed also try to create these clear “Good Guy/Bad Guy” characters with no shades of gray. For example, despite the very open and friendly comments from Rich Miner at Google, this article certainly tries its best to cast him in a negative light. They do the same thing with any article related to Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia (which is, apparently, their pet hate).

Anyway, back on topic: 750,000 downloads. Huge. Meanwhile, RIM continues to skip along on its way, nary a concern about the impending destruction of their developer community. Where they could be launching developer competitions, a new forum, and talking about what they are doing to improve the documentation, APIs and tools available, they instead do nothing. Lacking a voice, presence, impact, and style it is perhaps time we as developers faced up to the harsh reality that RIM actually doesn’t care a whim about us (1). I can handle a negligent but well meaning parent company. I cannot much tolerate one that is both negligent and would seek to abrogate its responsibilities.

750,000 downloads. That’s a lot of developers. I imagine at least some of them looked at the BlackBerry SDK and maybe even thought about developing some free applications — you know, those things that end-users like that add “stickyness” for RIM. Hey did you see Android running Quake?!! Whooosh, they’re gone. Don’t blame ‘em.

Oh and if you’re in to podcasts and want to hear what a real Aussie sounds like (Hint: It’s not necessarily like Steve Irwin and I don’t do “Crikey!”) then tune in to the next BlackBerryCool Podcast where I’ll be talking to Simon. Should be up in a day or so (Episode 20).

(1) I should note I have had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with some individuals at RIM who do care. However, it appears to me from the outside that both their voices are silenced and their purse strings tightened, leaving them ineffective to bring about real change.

MobileTracker ohne SD Card nutzen
» ‎ BlackBerryInsight - Deutsch
Vor einiger Zeit waren wir die erste Seite, die über die zur damaligen Zeit revolutionäre Anwendung MobileTracker von Skylab Mobilesystems Ltd., mit der man GPS-Tracklogs in den bekannten Formaten KML/KMZ und GPX speichern konnte, berichtete. Seitdem gab es für die Anwendung mehrere Updates, bei denen unter anderem Photo-Tagging und das Generieren von kmz-Tracklogs hinzukamen. Jetzt ist MobileTracker auch für PocketPC- und Smartphone-Geräte mit Windows Mobile erhältlich.

Die neueste Version 1.4.0 von MobileTracker für BlackBerry beinhaltet ein kleines und unauffälliges Feature, das eigentlich niemand erwähnen würde. Sie können das Verzeichnis wählen, wohin Sie Ihre Tracklog-Dateien speichern. Das erscheint recht alltäglich für uns alle, aber es macht die Anwendung auf vielen älteren BlackBerry-Geräten, wie den Serien BlackBerry 8700 und 7130 lauffähig! Wenn diese Geräte das Betriebssystem BlackBerry OS 4.2 haben (falls nicht: Schauen Sie im How-To BlackBerry-Betriebssystem aktualisieren nach), kann auf Ihnen ebenfalls MobileTracker genutzt werden. Aber die Webseite von MobileTracker für BlackBerry schreibt nur: “Designed for: 8100, 8120, 8130, 8300, 8320, 8310, 8800, 8820, 8830.”

Und so funktioniert es: Wenn Sie keine SD-Karte in Ihrem BlackBerry 8700 oder 7130 (jene Geräte haben keine SD-Kartenschnittstelle) installiert haben, müssen Sie Ihre Tracklog-Dateien auf Ihrem internen BlackBerry-Gerätespeicher speichern. Dieser ist sehr begrenzt, seien Sie deshalb vorsichtig und speichern Sie keine zu großen Dateien darauf. Dies könnte Ihr System verlangsamen. Egal, folgen Sie zum Speichern einfach den folgenden Schritten.
- Starten Sie MobileTracker.
- Öffnen Sie das Menü.
- Wählen Sie Options.
- Gehen Sie in das Feld Directory.
- Sie sollten dort den Eintrag “/SDCard/blackberry/” finden.
- Ersetzen Sie diesen mit “/store/home/user/”.
- Wählen Sie Save & Close und und klicken Sie auf die TasteStart Tracking!.
Jetzt werden alle weiteren aufgezeichneten Tracklogs in einer Tracklog-Datei innerhalb des Verzeichnisses “/store/home/user/” gepeichert. Sie können natürlich auch ein anderes Verzeichnis wählen, aber Sie müssen sicherstellen, dass das Verzeichnis bereits vorhanden ist!

Sie können hier eine Lizenz von MobileTracker für BlackBerry bekommen: MobileTracker for BlackBerry (24 US-$)
Die Version für Windows Mobile ist hier erhältlich: MobileTracker für Windows Mobile (24 US-$)

Weitere BlackBerry-Software kann in unserem BlackBerryInsight Software Store gefunden werden.

While the Boss is out…
» ‎ BerryReview.com

As you have probably all noticed, there has been a lack of articles from Ronen over the last 24 hours or so. Now I don’t want you all to worry but he is undergoing a radical new type of surgery that will replace a part of his body with a BlackBerry. The part of his body being replaced ???

Drop a funny comment below and when the boss gets back, we will hook up the best one with a sweet theme or something… (I don’t know what yet, but find something for you)

This is great…”Now I have a ’Post Button’…HoHoHo”. Finally, I can post up without taking the final draft through the editor. I can see Ronen’s lawyer having a heart attack right now.

Seriously though, Ronen has gone into hospital to have his ’wisdom’ removed. (Just a thought, If an American has their ‘wisdom’ removed, does that make them a Canadian or an Australian ? Just Joking Guys :)…’That’s if they have ‘wisdom’ added’…Ok, Ok, I’ll stop now before I get myself in even deeper. “He has gone to get a wisdom tooth removed”. He should be back on deck within the next couple of days so between now and then, Luciano and myself will do our best to keep the spirit alive. And Don’t forget to drop your comment below for your chance to win a sweet theme. The funniest suggestion and reason why wins. Go for it guys.
