Is BIS 3.0 Just Around The corner?
It seems as though the big BIS 3.0 upgrade we non BES users have been so patiently waiting for is finally here. Berryreview is reporting that our friends overseas in Europe, the Middle East and Africa will be getting their upgrade this weekend on March 14th followed not too long afterward by North America (about 2 weeks later) One of the biggest improvements to BIS 3.0 (also one of the most anticipated) is the new 2 way Gmail sync add-on, which being a heavy Gmail user myself, I’m pretty excited about.
Are you as anxious to get this upgrade? Do you care for the Gmail 2 way sync? let us know.

Well, leave it to the eternally innovative minds at Nokia to not only think of the idea, but to apply for a patent on it. Essentially, what we More >

The times that I have found myself needing a dictionary to check the spelling or meaning of a word are countless. I don’t carry a dictionary on my person (I imagine few people do) and end up having to find a workaround to using a dictionary. That is until the Dictionary.com app came out for More >
