An article by Dan Frommer on Business Insider prompted me to write this post. In its piece, Dan argues that RIM is the next Palm, pointing out similarities between the two companies. Palm used to sell tons of Treo devices just like RIM does today, but it failed eventually (and was acquired by HP). The…
Research In Motion has filed for a relatively odd patent and it could lead to your next BlackBerry featuring a rotating keyboard. With the BlackBerry Torch and the upcoming clamshell BlackBerry, we know that RIM is okay with experimenting from its standard form factor but this patent, which was filed for earlier in the year…
Update: Just received note that version 2.01.01 of this theme has been released. Some cool new features have been added… and in addition there’s more device support.

It’s been awhile since I noticed any new BlackBerry Games via Bplay. Not sure why, maybe I haven’t been paying attention. Whatever the case, I happened to notice one new BlackBerry Game that just hit their store, and I figure with the weekend coming up… some of you fantastic BlackBerry users may want to play…
BlackBerry Pearl 3G and Bold 9000 users, time to catch up with a few OS releases I missed earlier this week. The first, well, it’s not actually an official release, but a leak. If you’ve got a BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 or 9105 in-hand, you can download OS 5.0.0.884… if you choose to. Remember, this…

According to the company’s Facebook for iPhone page, there are nearly 105 million active monthly iPhone users. This number seems a bit fishy because Apple recently said that iOS is on…
Attention BlackBerry Developers… it’s time again for another free developer webcast from the good folks in Waterloo! Stuffed in my inbox this morning was the official invite/notification from the team at RIM. The webcast, which is slated for Thursday August 26th at 2PM EST, will focus on the development possibilities available when you combine BlackBerry…
One quick BlackBerry OS leak hit us this past weekend, and it’s for the BlackBerry Curve 8530 users out there. If you’re not into installing leaks, then please, pass this over. But if you don’t mind installing an operating system that has not been approved by any carrier, hey, have I got a deal for…
It’s been a little while now since I’ve shared some BlackBerry Theme love with y’all. I was starting to wonder if all of the theme designers got together to take a summer holiday together. At any rate, over the weekend I noticed that my bud Hedone over at HedoneDesign has released a new BlackBerry Theme…
Getting a pre-paid BlackBerry has been a great option for many users since it does away with pesky contracts, and some of the plans are actually pretty damn good.
