I am seriously, seriously thinking about going back to the stone-age.
I am really annoyed that I can’t make phone calls on my Blackberry Bold.
Or my other Blackberry Curve.
Let’s be clear: The handset connects to the internet brilliantly. The handset makes and receives calls.
Just… the person on the other end can hardly ever hear me.
Roughly [...]
The glorious magnificent Curve 8900 AKA Javelin has just hit Germany, on T-Mobile. TBC for the UK.
RIM’s been a busy bee of late, with the Flip, the Storm and now the latest rendition of the Curve.
After a quick call to BlackBerry’s press office, and yes they are still speaking to us, it appears nothing has [...]

DataViz has just released updates to their latest mobile office software for the Bold, Pearl Flip and upcoming BlackBerry Storm.
One of the issues that marred the Bolds overall usefulness was the lack of Office 2007 document support in the accompanying Documents To Go suite.
Now it appears this could be resolved in the latest release and [...]
Storm to arrive early, according to MobileToday
Just days after the Vodafone pre-ordering site went live it now looks like we could be seeing the phone in stores even earlier than expected.
The mobile phone news site has noted the new BlackBerry will launch this Friday at Vodafone’s flagship store in London.
This is despite the Vodafone [...]
Fresh from winning Gadgetfest last week, Truphone is now ready for the Blackberry (The OMmeister has the goss).
It’s most certainly beta. You don’t NEED to have a WiFi capable Blackberry — but I reckon it helps. Provided you’ve got the right version of the software, you should be Truphoning in record time by [...]
Reader Jeremy emailed me in details about MyCaption — a service offering the ability to dictate email messages via voice.
All you have to do is (for example) click on the “Reply (MyCaption)” menu link and speak. When you’re finished, the MyCaption service will insert the dictated text into your typing window.
I think this is [...]
QIK, probably the best mobile video streaming platform has hit the Blackberry platform this morning. The system is alpha and they’ve got it working on almost every modern Blackberry — including the Pearl, the Bold, the Curve and the new Pearl Flip (which is a piece of goodness in itself).

Today, companies like Apple are making mammoth profits through their application store for their phones and Google too has joined [...]
Well what a total unmitigated flocker it was this weekend.
The entire flocking mobile industry failed me. Massively.
We’re going to some European destinations shortly with the Mobile Industry Review (”MIR”) Show. Whilst it’s an exciting possibility, it’s not the sort of thing I want to do on-the-fly. I’d like to get a bit [...]
Orange UK, apparently, has pulled the sale of the BlackBerry Bold from its stores and are citing “software issues”.
MobileTechAddicts got hold of a leaked internal memo and have published the full text on the site.
Internal Orange Statement on the Bold:”Following reports of software issues with the BlackBerry Bold handset across a variety of mobile operators, Orange [...]
I’m Curving it.
At about 845am this morning I phoned Vodafone and asked them to activate Blackberry service on my main account.
I took my SIM out of my Nokia E90 and placed it into my Curve. Bish, bash, bosh… I was then live a few moments later.
I’ve been carrying tons of devices around and the [...]
With Developers Tools available for the Apple iPhone and Google’s Android platform for quite a while now, and with developers having tremendous success with the former platform (remember the developer who made $250,000 in 2 months?), why would Research In Motion (RIM), the makers of the popular business phone brand Blackberry, keep their developers away?
With [...]
So reckons an RBC analyst, Mr Mike Abramsky (quoted by Internet News).
A research report today by RBC analyst Mike Abramsky noted that RIM would launch a “BlackBerry Apps Center” with the official sales launch of the impending Storm 9530 smartphone. The analyst also wrote that software offerings include the VZ Navigator (Verizon is the Storm’s [...]
Feast your eyes on the all new Blackberry Storm — launched today on Vodafone — but available from next month (and hopefully free from Bold-style OS issues).
First, a glorious gratuitous full screen shot please:
And, when you tilt the device, how’s it look?
When you touch it, it feels like a button — so says Frank Rovekamp, [...]

Are you in the market for one? Register [...]

Over at Pocket-lint, there’s a story which confirms that Vodafone UK will be bringing BlackBerry Storm (also called Thunder in other news), the touchscreen handset [...]
Our very own James Whatley spotted this rather enthusiastic Blackberry user in America:
Yes, she does have her Blackberry wedged into her cycle helmet…
Own up. Who else does this?
Research In Motion (RIM), makers of the popular mobile phone brand BlackBerry, have today announced their first flip-open phone, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 smartphone. The phone has been in the news for quite a while now, with all the publications dubbing it as the ‘kickstart 8220‘.
The phone is a quad-band EDGE based smartphone that [...]
Continue ReadingIn today’s MIR Show, Ed Hodges of HowlerTech points out that his next phone will be a Blackberry Bold. Justin Davies of NinetyTen will be hopefully getting one on his T-Mobile account this week.
What about you?
My god, that’s almost like… current isn’t it?
Continue ReadingIt looks like the similarities between the BlackBerry Bold and Apple’s iPhone are stronger than we thought: according to one analyst who’s been tinkering with RIM’s latest, the device has been experiencing the same sort of 3G problems as its Apple rival.
Jim Suva of Citigroup wrote in a research note quoted by Barrons that:
We had [...]
Total arse.
I wanted to rip it out of his grubby hands.
It’s been a while since I had a good case of handset envy.

According to IntoMobile, the next addition to the BlackBerry family will be a lower end device called the Javelin, which will borrow [...]
