Oi… Will the unofficial OS leaks ever stop for the BlackBerry Storm!? Me thinks not! This time around it’s OS 4.7.0.85 for the BlackBerry Storm 9500 (Vodafone). A similar OS leak came out some time ago (4.7.0.85) but at the time, it was for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 only. The new OS is great news…
BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin) hitting T-Mobile on February 11?
It’s not often that we see manufacturers launching their mobile wares ahead of schedule. Bureaucratic red tape and carrier testing procedures usually result in launch delays. We’re used to seeing products delayed for so long that they risk becoming irrelevant, so it’s refreshing to see that the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (codenamed: Javelin) has actually had…
Garage|Shadow: Open Your Garage Door With Your BlackBerry!
The folks at Unify4Life first popped on the scene back at last years’ CES. They demonstrated and delivered a remote control system that allows you to control all of your audio and video equipment from the palm of your hand… From your BlackBerry. Incredibly cool. By the sounds of things, it looks like the folks…
Free BlackBerry Storm App Locks Screen During Calls
It’s always a little sad when OS gaps are big enough for third parties to make whole products out of them (BBSmart’s BlackBerry HTML e-mail viewer and the various cut and paste utilities on the iPhone come to mind), and one of the more noticeable holes in the BlackBerry Storm is an unlocked screen when…

Orange to Give BlackBerry Bold the Boot?
Reports are surfacing that due to irregularly high return rates and software glitches (such as dropped calls and unexplained restarts), Orange is on the verge of pulling the BlackBerry 9000 from their lineup. The Storm I could understand, but the Bold? Really? I haven’t had a single problem with my Bold, and I’ve been packing…
BlackBerry Storm Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking!
Some people drop their devices. I’m fortunate enough to not be one of them. I know people that drop their phone on a daily basis. Me? Well, I’ve had my current iPhone 3G for many many months now… and I haven’t dropped it yet. Call me lucky (Watch, I’m going to drop it today… I…

If you’re on Verizon, thinking of moving to Verizon, or just want to get a great deal on a solid device, then 2009 is shaping up nicely for you! Verizon (I’m trying to set the record here on how many times I can say ‘Verizon’) now has the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 up for grabs for…
RIM Extends Certicom Takeover Bid Window
Despite the raucous opposition, BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion is extending their deadline for finalizing aquistion of security firm Certicom from the 15th. of January to the 27th. To be fair, RIM could just keep on pushing the deadline back, but odds are if the shareholders haven’t bitten by the end of January, odds are the…
World of Warcraft Theme for BlackBerry
Since getting back into World of Warcraft for the new Wrath of the Lich King expansion, I’ve been looking for ways to plug in through my BlackBerry. I had used a cool skill and sale order monitoring utility for EVE Online during my brief stint, and was hoping to find something similar for WoW –…
