| Jabra Supreme Bluetooth Headset Review Posted: 11 Nov 2011 03:01 PM PST Review: Jabra Supreme Bluetooth Headset
Receiving Calls: Upon receiving a call, the headset announces "Call from …" and announced the caller's name if in your address book, or the number calling. You may use the Answer/End button or wait for the tone, and speak "Answer" or "Decline". This is great for driving.
Overall Thoughts: The sound quality is pretty good on both ends. Callers did not realize I was on a headset, and I was able to hear them quite clearly. The headset is quite comfortable with the foam cover over the speaker sits flush against your ear. The voice instructions, and simple flipping open/closed to turn on/off prove quite useful, especially for those used to staring at the blinking lights on their headset attempting to determine what it's doing.
Conclusion: If you want a simple, easy to use headset, this headset is for you. With it's flip open/closed to turn on/off, and voice commands, all the guesswork is removed when using this headset. Once again, this Jabra headset has great sound quality and a good look. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Free MyMobileCoverage App Lets You Create Your Own Personalized Coverage Map Posted: 11 Nov 2011 01:05 PM PST
One of our tipsters pointed out a really slick free app for BlackBerry smartphones called MyMobileCoverage. The app lets you create your own personalized coverage map so you can visualize your dropped calls, data speeds, voice quality, and other metrics from the app. It has some pretty slick features though it is even useful just to get your CellID.
If you use the app you can:
The app does run in the background to collect the information and displays it on your phone and on their website at http://mymobilecoverage.com. This is obviously not for the privacy conscious like me but the idea and implementation is actually pretty impressive and reviews on App World are positive. You can pick up MyMobileCoverage in App World free If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Developers that are using RIM's free BlackBerry Analytics service powered by Webtrends are getting a nice facelift this weekend. RIM sent out an email that the portal is getting redesigned starting Saturday November 12th from 7:30AM Pacific Time and lasting for "several hours." The BlackBerry Analytics service will continue collecting data at that time but the portal will not be available. They are also not changing the available reports or SDK.
The main three changes are:
The BlackBerry Analytics Portal will remain at blackberry.webtrends.com If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| New AT&T BlackBerry Shows Up in FCC Docs – Possibly Bold 9790? Posted: 11 Nov 2011 06:00 AM PST You have to love trying to guess what device is coming out from an FCC document. Engadget spotted this latest mystery BlackBerry (model REA71UW) in this FCC filing. The document focuses on the AT&T bands of GSM/EDGE/UMTS on 850Mhz and 1900Mhz that AT&T uses but also clarifies that the device has "GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1900 Mhz bands and UMTS band that are not operational in North America." It also says the device has NFC along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In my mind that makes this device either the BlackBerry Bold 9790 or the BlackBerry Curve 9360. I am personally hoping it is the 9790 but what do you think? If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| “Themes” Start Showing Up in PlayBook App World Posted: 11 Nov 2011 05:35 AM PST
This one is a real head scratcher. RIM has yet to confirm or deny if developers will be able to theme the BBX OS like they can with BlackBerry 6 devices and earlier. Still that has not stopped RIM from opening up a new category in App World for the PlayBook for themes. The thing is the first "Theme" in that category is really just an app with some wallpaper options. The app is called "Christmas Themes" by Matthew Bailey for $1.99 which offers you multiple Christmas themed backgrounds for your PlayBook.
What do you think about this? Should RIM be marketing these in a separate "Themes" category? Thanks Terrence for the pictures and other for sharing the news! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

The Jabra Supreme is the latest and greatest Bluetooth headset available for hands-free dialing and voice activation. This headset is extremely easy to use. Powering on the headset consists of simply flipping open the microphone. Upon doing this for the first time after the initial charge, voice commands instantly guide you through the pairing to your phone. Subsequent powering-on of the headset results in a greeting of "Power On…Connected".
Placing Calls: Voice commands allow you to speak the name of the caller. As always, I had difficulty with the proper contact being identified while using voice commands, and found myself tending to stick to the more standard method of dialing from the phone.
The only con I found was the ear loop. While the speaker and foam cover sit flush against your ear while being worn, I felt the ear loop was insufficient to keep the headset from moving around while you moved. This caused me to try moving less while wearing my headset, something which I shouldn't have to pay attention to. At no point did it actually fall off or even come loose, but it was something that bothered me while using. Then again, I find this an issue for all headsets with similar loops, so it appears to be a personal issue.
