T-Mobile’s been pioneering UMA service for a while now. Known as T-Mobile HotSpot @Home, the service allows compatible WiFi-enabled mobile phones to use a WiFi network to make voice calls rather than the T-Mobile wireless network.

In some more BlackBerry love from Salomondrin, we’ve got some leaked images of the upcoming BlackBerry Essex!

Back in August we got our first ever-so-blurry peak at the BlackBerry 9700 on Bell’s systems. While the shot wasn’t that impressive, it did give us some kind of confirmation that the latest edition Bold will be coming to Bell in the near future.

What do you get when you give the BlackBerry 9700 Bold (Onyx) the Curve 8900’s keyboard, and strip away the 3G? The device code-named Atlas, it seems.

Rollin’ Theme Arrives From Designers at Hedone Design
I can’t help myself. Gotta touch on yet another BlackBerry Theme this morning. This time the theme in question comes to us from the good folks at Hedone Design.
