Mac users to get Desktop Manager next year?

By James on Sep 22, 2008 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Software.

Myself I’ve been a long time Mac user, but have always done my backups on a PC. Finally it appears that RIM might actually be doing something to help out Mac users. A source has reported to CIO.com that RIM is working on plans to either develop a Mac verison of their Desktop Manager software or work with third party companies to provide the same features as a PC would have. The new software is expected to be seen sometime during the first half of 2009.

I have to say that if this is true I really hope RIM brings out their own version of DTM as I’m sick of dual-booting my Mac just to do backups and OS upgrades.

BlackBerry Bold vs iPhone 3G browser

By James on Jul 20, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Other Devices.

Boy Genius decided it would be fun to compare take both the BlackBerry Bold and Apple iPhone browsers head to head. In case you don't know the Bold does feature a full HTML web browser similar to the iPhone, even though it doesn't have a touch screen.

Rogers oh Rogers… 6GB of data for iPhone and maybe Bold?

By James on Jul 09, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, Other Devices, Rogers.

Rogers must have felt the pain when 50,000+ Canadian's signed a petition against their iPhone data pricing. Well Rogers today announced special launch promotions for the iPhone. Select Rogers Plus stores will be opening at 8AM to offer the iPhone, but the best part out of all of this news…. Rogers will be offering a special data plan for the iPhone up until August 31, 2008. 

The special data plan will be $30 a month and will offer 6GB of data! yes that's right 6GB. That's a whole lot of browsing. Now the best part is apparently this offer will be offered to 3G smartphones inlcuding the upcoming BlackBerry Bold. Also apparently Fido will be offering this amazing plan as well.

Is Apple mad at Rogers for screwing Canadians?

By James on Jul 07, 2008 in Canada, Other Devices, Rogers.

OH SNAP! Rumor has it that Apple is mad at Rogers for screwing Canadian's with high data prices. You may have heard of RuniediPhone.com, which is gathering signatures for a petition againest Rogers and the iPhone 3G pricing in Canada. Currently the petition is nearing 50,000 signatures! If you haven't signed it please head over to the site and SIGN IT. The other rumor in this story is that Apple has diverted a large amount of the iPhone stock heading for Canada to the UK because of this negative backlash.

iPhone 3G gets announced.. I want a Bold still!

By James on Jun 09, 2008 in AT&T (Cingular), Canada, Other Devices, Rogers, USA.

While usually we only cover BlackBerry news on the site this post is special. Apple has announced their upgraded iPhone featuring 3G and GPS. Apple also announced the new price tag of their 3G iPhone's. The 8GB version will ring in at only $199 everywhere (meaning $199USD or $199CAD) of course with a contract. AT&T will continue to be the exclusive carrier in the United States and looks like both Rogers and Fido will have it in Canada.

Now with all this iPhone talk how long before carriers release the BlackBerry Bold and RIM introduces the BlackBerry Thunder?
