BBGeekcast: September 3, 2010 – Episode 132

Friday, September 3, 2010 11:00

Are you ready to rock your BlackBerry in style? Maybe you already do, but RIM wants to make sure that you know exactly how stylish, or unstylish, your BlackBerry really is. Yes, I’m talking about the clamshell, the BlackBerry Style. Plenty to say on that on today’s Geekcast. So ...

Your Starbucks card now available on BlackBerry

Your Starbucks card now available on BlackBerry

Friday, September 3, 2010 5:30

Back in the day, when I actually left my house when I went to work, Starbucks used to be a daily stop. No, I didn’t have a custom order that the barista knew by heart. I was just a venti coffee black. Why Starbucks, then? Because unlike other coffee ...

At this point we know what’s coming down the pike. In other words, there won’t be many surprises from RIM here on out. The Curve 9300 is already out in some places, and we know it’s coming to others in the near future. The 9760 has been nameless since ...

Wirelessly sync your BlackBerry and Mac with Syncamatic

Wirelessly sync your BlackBerry and Mac with Syncamatic

Thursday, September 2, 2010 5:30

It’s been a while since I’ve lamented the plight of the Mac BlackBerry user. That’s probably because it’s become a bit easier on us lately. Desktop Manager for Mac still isn’t nearly as functional as its Windows counterpart, but they’ve updated it multiple times since the initial release, and ...

Theme Review Wednesday: OS6Like, Autumn,

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 11:52

One of these days we’ll get around to reviewing some OS 6 themes. But, since the platform is available on just one handset, and a brand new one at that, we’ll hold off for the time being. Most readers have older devices, so we’ll continue to concentrate on them ...

As you get older, back to school time changes. When you’re real young it’s exciting because you get to see all those people you missed all summer. As you move on through the years it starts to become a hassle, because you start to hate school that much more. ...

Review of Slacker Radio for BlackBerry

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 13:41

Just this morning we explored some streaming music apps for your BlackBerry , which caught a bit more buzz on Twitter than it did in the comments. What stuck out to me while writing it was that no where on this site do we have a review or walkthrough ...

BlackBerry streaming music app showdown

BlackBerry streaming music app showdown

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 5:30

Sometimes I feel like my BlackBerry is nothing more than a gussied up MP3 player. Unless I’m listening to an audiobook I rarely take my iPod with me anymore, leaving that music playing function to my main cellular device. And why not? I can fit 4GB of music on ...

Load up your BlackBerry Torch with 20 essential apps

Load up your BlackBerry Torch with 20 essential apps

Monday, August 30, 2010 9:00

One thing I noticed immediately after trying the Torch was the lack of compatible applications. It made sense, of course; OS 6 was on just one device, and at the time of testing it hadn’t even been released. But that didn’t make it any less frustrating. Whether it was ...

What’s running on your BlackBerry?

What’s running on your BlackBerry?

Monday, August 30, 2010 5:30

There is probably more running on your BlackBerry than you know. You can get a quick glance at running services by holding down the menu button and bringing up the app switcher, but as in Windows, there are other processes running in the background. If you want your BlackBerry ...
