Getting closer...gotta get my 'umbrella"...

So I was browsing the Crackberry site and another video review came up and it shows a little more detail to the up and coming Blackberry Storm that we are all anxiously awaiting. The suspected release date is around the 15th of November. (If true, I will always remember November of 2008 as the best month ever!!!) Also after looking at some articles that pertaining to cost...it looks like it is going to be around $499.00...but thats before retailers get all the discounts and price rebates back...just a rumor though...at least is gives you a price range.. So without futher ado, check out the video...

A BOLD NEW DAY FOR CHANGE!

History was made last night as Barack Obama was elected to become the 44th president of the United States of America. The reason for the title kinda conjoins two events yesterday...Election Day and the results and the release of AT&T Blackberry Bold (this event pales in comparison though...) The events do have some similarities....there were setbacks, advances, claims of change, bold proclimations and long awaited arrival by all. You know I had to tie in the Blackberry with the Election. I am truly humbled at the fact that what "they" said would never happen finally has... What Crispus Attucks bled and died for..what Martin Luther King Jr and countless other faced death for...we are now realizing. I was really moved by what happened yesterday. My vote was placed in Orange County, FL, a highly contested part of Florida, which Barack eventually won on his way to victory in FL....so in essence my vote counted...as did everybody else. I pray blessing on President Obama (like how that sounds), his family, Joe Biden and his family, and all of the US. I pray for a shield of protection to surround him and his staff as moves forward with the monumental task of correcting all that is wrong in our country now. GOD BLESS BARACK AND THE USA!!!!!!!!!!

I told you...

So I am finally posting something on the site...been real lazy about posting stuff...and halfway waiting on something to really pop back on to the scene with...well....I got it. This video came from my good friends at Crackberry.com and they posted it. This is a video that pretty much shows the user interfacwe and features for the new Blackberry Storm. I mean this is really the closest that you will be able to get to it without bugging your local Verizon Wireless rep to see it...(they probably have it in hiding....lol) For those who have played with a iPhone, look at this video and see all of the things that you thought only could be done on it and look at the Blackberry Storm do it and do it well... There really nothing else to say about it other than....ENJOY!!!

Sleepin on yall!!!

So I have been sleepin' on yall....majorly! I mean I havent posted anything on the blog in a couple of weeks. My computer has been down...doing some maintenence on it for the arrival of Two Edge Designs...you will hear about that later.... I mean there has been so much news about the Storm, it is ridiculous. I mean there are mad videos about the release, even some commercial about it's impending arrival. This phone is going to do wonders. People are going to finally realize that BB is the KING!!! Now, I have also comes to the realization that just as the saying goes....different strokes for different folks...same goes with phones. Some people are just gona like the iPhone better than a Blackberry and vice versa....I mean I am not gonna stop proclaiming my love for Blackberry across the world but, I know some people will not convert....or will not stop missing thier old phone after they do....(cough, cough...Emily) but hey....thats how the world works. I will post some new info on the Storm later on tonight....THIS PHONE IS THE M#!$_@$(@!$ TRUF!!! (yeah I know I spelled it with a "F"..thats how gangsta it is...)

Another one...converted!!!!

So I talk about Blackberry so much that some people think I either work or should go to work for them. Well, I have converted another smartphone user to the BB family. My wife's friend, Emily, was hooked on her Palm Treo..(for what reason, I dont know...touchscreen, I guess) and she said that she would never convert over...but that didnt stop me. I would talk to her about BB all of the time....make fun of her extremely large phone aka "The remote control" and etc. (It is an election year, so yes, I used a little "mudslinging" to help my cause.) So thanks to me and the incredible deals that Sprint is giving out (practically giving them away...lol) and other reasons...(Emily knows what I am talking about!!!), She is going to be the proud new owner of a Pearl! Now she is a part of the "Crackberry" family. Welcome....(insert evil genius laugh....here)

Is it here?....

So yesterday or Saturday, I really dont know when it was actually released but I thought I would post something about it...

There is an advert from Verizon that is hinting at something big being released today....and if you look at it, it would kind of suspect that VZW is getting ready to introduce the world to the Storm...the BB touchscreen. You be the judge but we shall know a little bit more later on today supposedly. (Dont get to happy though, AT&T has introduced the Bold a couple of months back, and it is still not here.) Take a look at the advert....

Blackberry gone WILD!!! Caught on Tape!!!

So I just posted something about the Blackberry Pearl Flip being officially announced....well, I am back again with some more BB News...LOL! I was reading on Crackberry.com about the release of the Pearl Flip and I kept scrolling down and there was a post and video about the Blackberry Thunder (Storm) in action!! I couldn't resist (even though I am at work...LOL). So I pulled it up and a tear almost came to my eye....seriously. This phone is magnificent....and it looks so good. The guy doing the post is not a BB fan so I tried to block out his negativity focused on the phone. The accelerometer is on point...I mean 360 degree rotation and the phone is on point! The haptic technology is shown in full force in the video also. I for one am ecstatic about the "double click" to reduce confusion. The interface looks similar to the Bold( another BB phone to be released soon) Operating System. Now, this guy is either trying to protect his job at one of the many tech places that receives pre releases for BETA testing or he made this video right after one of the Al Jezeera terrorist videos....I don't know...LMAO!!! Nevertheless, his negativity can't deter me from drooling after this phone....I will get one....as soon as the wife says it is okay....or the Curve turns two years old...only 14 more months until that... Check out the vid below...be amazed!!!

Remember....this is probably a BETA version of this phone so some of the features are not as smooth as they should be but this will all probably be worked out before the final release.

Shout-out to Kev! He always got the hotness when it comes to new info!

Blackberry Pearl FLIP...officially announced....

So if you follow my blog, you know that I try to keep you informed about all things Blackberry. Well, over the past couple of weeks, I have been telling you that RIM, the parent company, was going to start branching out and releasing more "consumer-friendly" phones....well, that day is TODAY!!! The Blackberry Pearl Flip...also known to us as the 8220, Kickstart, and Pearl 2...has been released! You can go to Blackberry official release site here for a view of the features and functions. I am telling you now....this phone is going to be selling like hotcakes!!! A flip phone with a trackball, and the ability to browse the internet, recieve email, listen to MP3's, record video, and use BB Messenger....I might get one. Once again, RIM shows its versatility by releasing another phone specifically for a target demographic, not just business people but everyone!!!

Shout out to Kevin and the whole Crackberry staff for this info!

A Storm is brewing.....

So, I have been following this for awhile and I didnt want to say too much about this until I got more word...but it looks like it is really coming. The Blackberry Storm (Thunder) is now at Verizon Technical Acceptance department which means that some bugs are being worked out of the final product and is being tested....so it is coming. I, being a T-Mobile user, is kind of upset because it is coming out on Verizon exclusively but as a Blackberry lover, I cant be more excited. Wait until this phone hit the market. It will officially put iPhone on the fast track to the bottom. If this phone is anything like they say it will be....RIM will be the number 1 smartphone out there. PERIOD.

I am back again...

Well, after watching the olympics faithfully for almost 2 weeks straight, I am finnaly back to the blog. My homie, D.O. won the bronze medal in the 110m hurdles, so I was happy about that. He promoted me to Technical Director of TEAM D.O. so I was glad about that...(I actually just made that position up. LOL!!!) So in the meantime, I have been meesing around with 3d animation software so I will be updating some stuff like that but otherwise here is whats going on...

-D.O. got the Bronze so we gotta celebrate that!!!
-Blackberry said that the Thunder(touchscreen) should be coming out in late October...
-US Track and Field really disappointed me as a whole (how can you drop the baton??)
-Last comment does not apply to D.O., David Payne, Terrence Trammell, Kenta Bell, Walter Dix, and TRW....because I said so!!!!
-My wife got me the new Madden 2009 for the 360 so I have been wearing that out... Go Titans!
-Football is now going to become the center of my existence for 17 weeks....LOL

Other than that, I am just doing my part in informing you about all things technological. Hit me up with a request or question and I will do my darndest to answer it. Shoot, this is an interactive blog, so be active...maybe, I should follow my own advice...LOL!. So be on the lookout for new stuff, videos, and all around good stuff.

P.S. My mother is starting a blog. I will feature it on "My featured blogs" located on the side. So if you havent been going to church, at least read the blog...get some of your religion back...LOL

D.O. and Crackberry.com....I am good...

What's good, people? Well, the Olympics have started and I have been watching them faithfully since the Opening Ceremonies. The USA has been kicking some hindparts and the real events (or at least the ones I am waiting on) havent started yet. In the meanwhile, I still browse my "digital newspaper" sites that I go on daily and found a pic of David with the Crackberry while on his way to practice so I decided to get my boy some much needed pub (since everybody else is pretty much overlooking him). I emailed Kevin over at Crackberry.com and showed him the pic. He immediately put it up on the site...FRONT PAGE STATUS!!! I was estatic about that and D.O. was happy also. Here is the link to D.O.'s Crackberry page post.

Apple sold a million iPhones!!!

Now, given that there are over about 300 million people in the USA, this seems like a small number in comparison but it is still amazing. Apple sold a million iPhones in 3 days! Being a Blackberry fiend that I am, I am still amazed that they sold that many phones. Truly, Steve Jobs is trying to solidify Apple's place in the smartphone realm. I mean I will never buy an iPhone but I have to give props where it is due. Anyway, I believe that they know that Blackberry is coming out with a touchscreen and they are going to try and saturate the market before "The Real Deal Holyfield" shows up aka The Blackberry Thunder....

Blackberry Flips Out!!!

Hey, good people! I am back. I was on a cruise for a couple of days with the wife celebrating my anniversary. Had a good time with her and now I am back at work. So looking at the title, you would assume that I was going to rant about something that Blackberry has did wrong...not necessarily. RIM is in the works of releasing a flip phone...that's right a flip phone. According to Crackberry.com, RIM is in the last stages of development of a flip phone. In essence, it is a Pearl with a bigger screen that flips. It looks good and has SureType technology, no full keyboard but the usual...camera, trackball, and etc. This is going to be a winner because it will appeal to the average consumer who likes flip phones. I am assuming that it will use the same OS that all Blackberry loyalists are accustomed to. I am excited but, not for me...for my wife. She held onto her 7100t until it started to die. She told me she was interested in it and so maybe if it is out next year around this time...anniversary gift??? Man, I am good. :) Click HERE for a link to the actual article from Crackberry.com. So until next time...

Shoutout out to Crackberry.com for all of the info. Check out thier website for all your BB needs.

More proof that Apple = HYPE.

So, you wanna know the cut and dry of things when comparing the iPhone to the new Blackberry Bold? You wanna see who comes out on top? Look at this side by side comparison to RIM's Blackberry Bold vs. Apple 3G iPhone. Read and weep, iPhone lovers....your phone will never be as good as ours....just an iPod with the capability make a phone call or two.

Shout out to hayden from PinStack for making this comparison chart...

8320 with that video record!!! Finally!!!

So, like I do every day, I go to all of my websites on my list (my digital newspaper) and I was reading www.blackberryforums.com and noticed that some new OS (operating systems) had appeared for my BB 8320. After doing some thorough reading and thinking, I decided to download and install this to my BB. I am very impressed with the new features such as video recording, voice note recording, and etc. all which were not available before. Now granted this is not the OFFICIAL release but, I will take this instead of waiting 6 more months. I already waited 8 months to get this close... I know good things come to those who wait but DANG!! I now have more features on my already customized BB 8320. Now, beware, you might see your face on YouTube courtesy of a BB 8320... So until next time....

I will try and post a video that I recorded from my phone...
