| BlackBerry Torch 2 9810 Gets Another Hands On Review Posted: 03 Jun 2011 04:01 PM PDT
The team at Engadget managed to get their hands on a BlackBerry Torch 2 9810. We have seen quite a bit of this device but this latest review really goes into some nice details. You can tell the reviewer is not a regular BlackBerry user which makes it even more impressive when you hear them saying good things about it even with prerelease software and hardware. Engadget has put up tons of pictures of the device at this link and even more of the OS at this link. They have only good things to say about the processor bump to 1.2Ghz along with the new high resolution screen that they compare as "night and day" to the original Torch. I am not a bit iPhone user but they claim it is comparable now. Maybe that is what RIM means by Liquid Graphics? They also took a pretty sweet video with the device in 720p HD which actually looks good. Check out the review at this link and let us know what you think! Hopefully RIM will get around to releasing it or even announcing it soon… If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| BlackBerry Bold 9930 and 9850 Rumor Mill… Sprint, Verizon, and Possible Delays Posted: 03 Jun 2011 01:24 PM PDT
The rumor mill is spinning at full speed with the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and now the BlackBerry 9850. First we had the BGR mentioning the rumor that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 will not be shipping globally until September. That seems to go against RIM's original announcement saying:
It could be that the BGR got things right that the device might not ship Globally until September since signs are pointing to an August launch. CrackBerry scored some pictures of a Sprint inventory system showing the BlackBerry Bold 9930 launching on Sprint for a tentative August 21st ship date and the 9850 with no tentative date. Next we have some Google ads already advertising the BlackBerry Bold Touchscreen on Verizon when they have not even announced the device spotted by BBRocks. I guess that confirms it will be coming to Verizon but if the device was going to launch in September would they really be advertising it now? Just doesn't add up. Something makes me feel we will see it in a July-ish time frame. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Easy BlackBerry Browser Bookmarklets – Create QR Codes or Search BerryReview & More! Posted: 03 Jun 2011 10:54 AM PDT
For those of you who don't know what a bookmarklet is here is a brief description. A bookmarklet is a small bit of JavaScript code stored in the URL of a bookmark in your browser that is designed to add functionality by clicking on it. I was thinking about this concept when I was at BlackBerry World and found it actually works in the new BlackBerry WebKit browser. While I would rather have more robust Browser addons like I mentioned yesterday this has spurred my interest for now. Here are some of the bookmarklets I created so far with more to come soon. You simply hit the BlackBerry menu button while hovering on top of the link below and select "Add Links to Bookmarks."
There are limitations though that annoy me like not being able to save a bookmarklet to the homescreen but I plan on creating many more. The possibilities are endless from a "Subscribe in Google Reader" bookmarklet to a "highlight specific text or searching Wikipedia inline. There are billions of bookmarklets our there online from Evernote to everything else you can think of. Share the ones you find or need help with in the comments!

| AT&T Also Working on a Shared Data Plan With No Timeframe for Release Posted: 03 Jun 2011 08:18 AM PDT
My dream is finally starting to come true. I remember back in the day when I first tethered my laptop to my phone and my carrier complained. I told my carrier that I was paying for unlimited data and I intended to use it. Well first we had Verizon mention they were working on family shared data plans and then T-Mobile did something similar. Now we have AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega mentioning that they are also working on a shared data plan though they will make no commitments. This all seems to be in the early stages now but I am hoping that wireless data will soon be a utility like electricity or gas. It doesn't make a difference what you plug into the outlet as long as you pay for what you use. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Will RIM Announce PlayBook Sales with June 16th Q1 Financials? Posted: 03 Jun 2011 06:57 AM PDT
We knew before that RIM was going to announce their first quarter fiscal 2012 results on June 16th but it really has me wondering what they will say. They stopped reporting subscriber growth as of last quarter but what I really want to know is if RIM will announce the sales numbers for the BlackBerry PlayBook. RIM responded to a claim last month that sales of the PlayBook at a major retailer were poor by saying it was inconsistent. They went further and vaguely mentioned that:
I am not sure what a business update on BlackBerry PlayBook results means. Will they just say it is good? Will they give actual numbers? The thing is we will sort of be able to tell from what they do or don't say. If sales are phenomenal they will announce the numbers and if they will clam up. The question is how do we tell the difference between the two. I am hoping Jim Balsillie walk up on stage and announces they have sold about a million PlayBooks… If you happen to want to listen in to the conference call you can on the 16th starting at 5pm ET. Details…

| RIM’s Latest BBM Hero Video Takes Us to Korea… Posted: 03 Jun 2011 05:28 AM PDT
I always hear about Korea from my wife but I have never been there. My favorite part of travelling is simply seeing how people do things differently in each country and locale. That is why I found the latest BBM Hero video about Hong Suk Shim from Adidas in Korea enlightening. The most interesting part was that I did not understand a single word he said. According to the captions he said words like BBM, BlackBerry, Facebook, and Twitter and I always thought they would sound at least similar in different languages. Also I am kind of digging the "WhiteBerry" name though it makes me wonder how RIM could dare to break their own branding and trademark rules in the video. If you have some time check out the short 3 minute video below. I am not sure how much is lost in translation but let us know if you understand what he is saying.

Obviously that argument didn't fly but since the introduction of limited data plans there was the potential for what I like to call "Data Buckets." In my ideal world you buy 10GB of data from your carrier and they don't care if it is used by a laptop, tablet, phone, spaceship, remote control cat, you get the point…
