BBM ghost avatars have done nothing but gain momentum since they came about the other day. Looking through forums can be kind of hairy when trying to find new avatars, so www.bbmpics.com has simplified your searching. They will also create custom avatars for $5 a pop. Techrevive has also mad a bunch, but the viewing is a bit more [...]

This is a nice surprise! Today, Rogers 9700 and 9300 customers should start receiving text messages stating that there is a software upgrade available to them. As well, a new icon will appear on their screen indicating there is an available download. Downloading and updating will reveal… UMA (unlicensed mobile access) support! This was previously [...]

If you aren’t totally satisfied with the native BlackBerry browser, it might be time to give Bolt a shot. Bolt Browser has come a long way and has consistently made improvements and added new features. Even though I’ve been playing with the native BlackBerry WebKit browser on a QWERTY BlackBerry with OS6, in my opinion, Bolt outshines it [...]

It’s been a few months since I wrote an article titled “Viigo app to become a thing of the past?” and at that time it was more of a question than a complaint. At that point, we had not seen the RSS capabilities of OS6, but I was pretty sure that RIM would deliver, considering they acquired Viigo and [...]

When something new comes about on BBM, it pretty much spreads like wildfire every time, and these new BBM avys seem to be the new thing. The avys appear to be blank or close to it when you save them, and they fully appear when your BBM contacts scroll over your handle. A couple of people were [...]

The Blackberry Torch is a big phone. It’s heavy, too, and noticeably sturdier than any RIM released in the last four years. It harkens back to the days of the 8700, where the Blue Monster could kill a man with a single swipe of its camera-less body. But the Torch is also a different kind [...]

I have to admit, I was pretty impressed by the RIM announcements at DevCon 2010. It’s still too early to tell if the PlayBook will sink or swim, but at least the necessary specs are there. The outcome will mostly lie in the QNX OS which we’ve seen very little of on the PlayBook. Even though [...]

One of the first things I noticed upon loading OS6 was that a lot of the ever so popular BlackBerry alerts were either gone or have been remixed. A feeling of emptiness overcame me and I immediately started searching around for the files to load back on my device. Instead of going on a rant about [...]

I used to find myself connecting my BlackBerry to my computer to transfer media files back and forth way too often. Everyone hates plugging any device in and luckily Chocolate Chunk has some very useful apps that will rid you of that dreadful task when it comes to dealing with media on your BlackBerry. Wifi [...]

At DevCon 2010 this morning, a RIM VP confirmed that the QNX OS is in the future for BlackBerry smartphones. This has been in heavy speculation since RIM acquired QNX back in April. I wrote on that subject last Tuesday, so take a look here if you missed it. Many of us bloggers and BlackBerry addicts were also [...]
