| Nigerian “BlackBerry Babes” Movie… Posted: 26 May 2011 02:58 AM PDT Normally I would recommend against searching online for terms like "BlackBerry Babes" but in this case I found it kind of interesting. The team @BBCool noticed a relatively new (March 2011) Nigerian film centered around three women and their BlackBerrys as status symbols. From what I am reading it is pretty typical Nollywood story lines but I could not get through more than 5 minutes of the hour and thirteen minute movie. I started skipping around the film and I have to say some of the scenes are a bit over the top. One of the women tells a man who wants to talk with her that she already has a BlackBerry Javelin, BlackBerry Bold one, and a BlackBerry Bold two and he can only talk to her once he gets her a BlackBerry Bold three with a year service plan. (about 7 minutes in) I have not watched the whole movie but if you wish too check it out below: Desktop Video Link | Mobile Video LinkIf you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Analyst Says RIM Will Sell 450,000 PlayBooks by End of this Month Posted: 25 May 2011 02:36 PM PDT I always get a kick out of analyst Barrons explains Sutherlands claim of why the PlayBook is not doing well due to:
I am really curious if RIM will step up to the plate before June 16th to squash these rumors or confirm them. From what I can tell BlackBerry users are loving the PlayBook and once it has native email I can see other smartphone users starting to change their tune. My bet is that Scott Sutherland "may" be wrong. Anybody glad the analysts stopped bringing up the number of apps? If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| T-Mobile’s New Shared Family Data Plans, Data Tiers, and Prepaid Data Posted: 25 May 2011 09:29 AM PDT We told you earlier that Verizon was considering shared "family" plans for data but T-Mobile has beaten them to the punch. T-Mobile has also killed off their unlimited data plans in one fell swoop leaving Sprint as the only carrier with them. The data tiers for T-Mobile now go at:
Family plans also now have the ability to share not only minutes and text messages but they can also share data plans. The only catch is that data plans shared on a family plan cost twice double what they do for a single user. So say for example to share 5GB on a family plan would cost $60/month. The math is kind of wonky but in many situations it actually does pay off compared to AT&T and Verizon. Also worthy of note is that T-Mobile may have cut their unlimited data plans but they still simply drop you to a miserly 2G connection when you go over your bucket instead of charging you overages. You can either wait for the end of your bill cycle or bump up your data plan to get back on 3G/4G. Another nice move by T-Mobile is the announcement of two new No Annual Contract unlimited Monthly4G plans across all of T-Mobiles smartphones including BlackBerrys. The plans start at $50/month for unlimited talk, unlimited text and 100MB of web browsing after which it knocks you to 2G. Alternatively they have a $70 per month for talk, text and unlimited Web along with 5GB of data. Check out www.T-Mobile.com for details If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| BlackBerry Bridge Desktop Install Files Found Online Posted: 25 May 2011 08:15 AM PDT When RIM released the desktop install files for BlackBerry Bridge last week we thought RIM had finally grown a backbone and stood up to AT&T. They have to release these desktop install files because that is the only way for administrators to deploy Bridge to devices over their BES server. Sadly it looks like RIM caved yet again to AT&T and took down the install files that used to be here. One of our kind tipsters sent us a link to the files that RIM was providing before for all to download. Something tells me these will also eventually be taken down but we can only hope that kind souls will continue to keep them alive: Download BlackBerry Bridge v1.0.0.83 Desktop Install files at: I think this whole back and forth is ridiculous on RIM's part because companies cannot rely on App World to deploy PlayBooks and roll out the BlackBerry Bridge app especially if their IT Policy blocks App World. Even RIM realizes what a cop out it is by only mentioning App World as a place to install Bridge in their Knowledge Base and telling admins that:

| How Will BlackBerry PlayBook Native Email & PIM Work? Posted: 25 May 2011 07:06 AM PDT I have been meaning to write this piece for awhile now but every time I start thinking about it my head starts to hurt. Since the PlayBook launched we have heard reviewers harping about how you "need a BlackBerry" to get email on the device. RIM took it all in stride and announced that native email and PIM (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, etc) are coming "this summer" for the BlackBerry PlayBook. They even showed off how it will look with a live demo. The thing is I am really curious about is how exactly RIM is planning on making it work. Don't get me wrong I don't think it is impossible in any way I am just curious what the workflow will be and if it will change the current BlackBerry smartphone paradigm. I understand why RIM is taking their time on releasing the native Email and PIM clients since they need to build the infrastructure to bring QNX to BlackBerry smartphones. They also need to include all of the BES integration and security/certifications required for a business call RIM device which does not happen overnight. The thing is I see many forks in the road for RIM on how exactly email and PIM will be handled on the PlayBook especially when you consider it from both a BIS (consumer) and BES (enterprise) perspective. Keep in mind many of these "forks" are similar for any tablet or companion device and not just the BlackBerry PlayBook. The Split Personality ConundrumWhen you get an email will both your PlayBook and BlackBerry or other smartphone notify you? I can see myself in a meeting scrambling to silence two devices. How about calendar reminders? If you snooze it on your PlayBook will it automatically snooze on your phone? What about if you read an email or accept a calendar invite will you have two different calendars? Better yet what if you send a calendar invite from your smartphone then will it also show up on your PlayBook? I realize BES might solve some of these issues with synching to an exchange server but what about regular BIS users? Don't get me wrong other tablets have similar issues but the elegance and simplicity of the BlackBerry Bridge suddenly makes sense. I am hoping RIM wont go down the route of using desktop manager as a way to reconcile the two devices like other tablets do. How Many Sets of the Truth?Similar to what I said above their is a bit of a tricky issue in terms of synching. For example, If you add a contact on your PlayBook native contacts app will it come over to your BlackBerry? How about vice versa? Will you have to deal with multiple different lists of contacts between the device? This gets even more complicated once you start walking out the door. Currently you can get all of the latest email and PIM on your PlayBook through the BlackBerry Bridge. What happens when you throw in native email and PIM? If you have a 4G or Wi-Fi connection that could work but what happens if you don't? Will you have to open the bridge to get the latest email or will it reconcile itself? Will the native email and PIM clients use the BlackBerry smartphone to download yet another copy of the email? That does not sound like something RIM would do. Bigger Pipes Means…Right now the way BIS and BES email and PIM infrastructure works is all about conserving data. That concept does not fit in well with native email and PIM on the PlayBook in many use cases. Say you are at home over a Wi-Fi connection but want to walk out of the house. It would not make sense for RIM to do what it does now and only deliver the first few lines of an email and no attachments since you might not have a network connection later. That means quite a bit more data transfer going through RIM's NOCs. United or Divided?Right now the strongest use case for the BlackBerry PlayBook is for users who have a BlackBerry smartphone who can make use of the slick BlackBerry Bridge features. The question is how RIM will decide to execute their strategy to both entice BlackBerry and non BlackBerry smartphone toting users. I would really love to hear what you all think about native email and PIM on the BlackBerry PlayBook and its future on BlackBerry smartphones. Feel free to ask any questions or expand on what I wrote above in the comments! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Mr Number Adds Status to Their Free Call Blocking App Posted: 25 May 2011 05:55 AM PDT In case you missed it Mr Number is a free call and text message blocking app along with stopping telemarketers and spam calls. They just let us know they have added status support in the latest version of the app. What that means is you can now share with the 2 million other Mr Number users when you are free for a call, when you would rather text, or when they should bugger off. The app will automatically route your calls to voicemail in the last case and your friends will know why you didn't answer. They can even be alerted for when you come back online. This new feature in Mr Number is more of a chicken and egg problem where they need to get people to use it for it to catch on. Especially since you can already do something similar with BBM, Google Talk, and other chat apps. On the other hand Mr Number is cross platform on BlackBerry, iOS, and Android. You can pick up this latest version of Mr Number free in App World. Let us know what you think of it! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
