It’s going to be pretty tight I suspect, looking at the differences between the iPhone and the BlackBerry Storm. Some might be quick to point out how they in many ways, serve two different audiences. However I have watched as many enterprise users have flocked by the thousands to Apple’s latest mobile creation.

It was bound to happen. At some point after a ton of faithful use, my installation of the Antair Spam Filter for my BlackBerry suddenly seemed to stop working. To be fair however, it happened after I made some fairly hefty changes with a server move on one of my POP email accounts, so it [...]

Despite my best efforts to avoid the social media scene except where work dictated, I am rather taken up with using Twitter from my BlackBerry. Overall the experience is a pleasant enough one, with the exception of needing to use a browser to post and stay up to date with the latest updates.
Yesterday, one of [...]

Even though I use BES (MS Exchange) access for some of my email needs, I am also rocking three separate POP mail accounts on my BlackBerry as well. And if you have a public email address, you know that this means spam. Spam on the Exchange server is not really such a problem, but it [...]

One of my customers has been experiencing off-again/on-again problems with their e-mail host. Her current e-mail host has a very miserly storage quota on their POP mail accounts, which results in her maxing out and having issues receiving mail. The good news is, there are lots of options… including Google.
I did a little research on [...]

After using my chosen provider for some time now, it has come to my attention that more and more single user mailbox options for Exchange users are becoming available. So what do I mean exactly? Basically if you are like me, you have a Windows Mobile, BlackBerry or even an iPhone. You want the slick [...]

I keep hearing over and over, how the iPhone or perhaps the Blackberry is going to somehow ensure that the dependence on the almighty notebook will soon be coming to an end. To be honest, I just do not see it. Yes, having mobile devices that provide you with access to the Web/email/etc is a [...]

Had an unfortunate issue with my Blackberry today, a bit of a heart stopper if you will. My trackball suddenly stopped working, much to my dismay. But rather than assuming that the Blackberry itself had bit the dust, I did some checking around on the “Inter-webs”. Sure enough, all that needed to happen was to [...]

This really should not come up as such a surprise, especially from the folks at RIM. As RIM’s CEO states that people are just “done” with touchscreen keyboards, one has to consider the source. Now this is not to say that he is wrong, but having this CEO claim his position as fact is about [...]

Perhaps the timing is just odd, but why did it take all of this time for BlackBerry to finally come up with a touchscreen phone? And an even bigger question - will existing BlackBerry users actually care? I have to be honest, I am just not buying into the idea that most BB users are [...]

I have been enjoying the switch to my BlackBerry for some time now and I have to admit, all the recommendations I received to go this route were spot on. Despite seeing the iPhone beginning to make inroads in the corporate realm, it is just not something that I ever felt that good about it. [...]

As I work to better understand the differences between my previous use of the Windows Mobile platform and now, the BlackBerry world, I have been discovering a few different applications that might benefit this new journey. Still picking up little tidbits of why things work they way they do.
Opera Mini- The BlackBerry browser is [...]

Leave it to Matt W. to have already touched on this once already. As he points out back in 2006, it seems that RIM, mobile carriers and resellers really need to get their information straight. And as luck would have it. I myself, had a taste of this type of things with DSLExtreme’s Exchange hosting [...]

As many of you know, I have been “wooling around” which phone I would be upgrading to with AT&T. After much research, asking about it here over and over, now that the magic upgrade month has arrive for upgrade eligibility - I have selected the BlackBerry 8820. Let me explain why.

With my available upgrade credit, [...]

Okay, I think I am finally ready to take the plunge into the BlackBerry world and opt not to go with an iPhone. As discussed in the past, IMAP is not an option for me and my Exchange account. I am less interested in syncing my music and more in tune to business functionality. Now [...]

I wrote recently about my experiences upgrading from a BlackBerry 8700c to a BlackBerry 8310 (Curve). I’d almost forgotten about a program that I saw in an e-mail from Research in Motion (RIM) — where you can trade in your old model for a few bucks. I’ve taken advantage of this program, and if all [...]

Although I’d worked with BlackBerries off and on since they were scarcely more than two-way pagers, I’d only come to own one of them in late 2003. And that was more or less by accident. One of my customers had gotten himself a Treo 650, so he gave me his BlackBerry 7290 device (it was [...]
