Trying to Work Around T-Mobile G1-Specific Data Plans May Backfire
We recently posted how to use the T-Mobile $20/mo EDGE data plan with your G1 (instead of the more expensive $24.99/mo T-Mobile G1 data plan), but it looks like this may not be all roses and flowers. As it turns out, there is another workaround similar to this using the T-Mobile “Total Internet” data plan package [...]

Monday, November 17, 2008
Laurence Hartje just sent in a mini-review of the BlackBerry Storm on the Vodafone network, here it is in it’s entirety: I’ve been lusting after a Storm, and since it launched in England before the US (and I’m over here at the moment) I thought I’d swing by a Vodaphone store to play with one.

Thursday, November 13, 2008
Thanks to Laurence Hartje for sending this in, looks like Barack Obama is an iChat-loving, Mac-using, BlackBerry-addicted president elect. This puts my mind at rest a bit more knowing that our president-to-be understands and utilizes technology to get work done, as opposed to still being impressed with Fire and Water… not that they aren’t cool, I’m [...]

Thursday, May 22, 2008
A detailed, mostly physical comparison between the iPhone and the BlackBerry Bold. If you saw the Bold and were curious how thick, wide, tall, short, heavy it was, this is the article to read. The gist of it is that the BlackBerry Bold is a bit thicker, has almost exactly the same surface form factor and [...]

It’s not general PIM software, but rather software used to store your more private information like address, passwords, credit card numbers, etc. RIM claims it’s completely safe, so if you trust your BB and RIM completely, have at it.

Laurence Hartje sends in some killer (albeit surprising) news that TVersity (everyone’s favorite transcoding/streaming software) version 1.0 will include BlackBerry support! Having used TVersity before to stream content off my PC onto a 360 and PS3 I was really impressed with the software namely because the on-the-fly transcoding which allows you to stream to most all [...]
