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....

Flowberry....Change the game up!

So while I am waiting for the Olympics to get started, I decided it was time to change the game up when it came to the Curve. With a Blackberry, you can change the way that your Blackberry screen looks and operates. There are millions of them out there. Go to http://www.crackberry.com/ to learn more about themes. Anyways, I updated the Curve to the new Flowberry theme. I like it because my most used icons are there on the front page and I can scroll from left to right and have access to them all. I cant change the icons but that really doesnt bother me as much as I thought it would well. Take a peek at the video to see what my phone looks like now(without the gay purple background...LOL). Shout out to Bplay for offering this theme.

I can take it all with me...literally!

Well, being the righteous dude that I am (yeah, I said righteous, I am bringing it back!!!!), I decided that I would let you guys in on my new favorite program, Orb. Now, have you ever been somewhere and thought that you saved an important paper to your flash drive...only to find out that it didn't save to it? Have you been at a friend's house and you want to show them pics of your latest vacation but you don't have the camera with you? I know I have been in this situation quite a bit. Now there is software out there that will allow you to "remote access" to your computer from another one but that can get pretty expensive....well, fear not, my computer savvy friends, THERE IS ORB!!!!! Orb is a free remote access program that will allow you to access videos, pics, documents, and even webcams and live TV* from your personal PC from any PC, Internet-enabled PDA/Smart phone( in my case Blackberry), Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc! Now, I have tried this out for a couple of days now and I love it!!! I have already used it numerous amounts of times to help me at work and in my spare time...if I have any. It is a very easy to configure and learn program and it is great!!! In my opinion, this is probably the best program I have found online that is free EVER! So go to www.orb.com, check them out.

I know you appreciate the knowledge that I impart on you...so no need to thank me..LMAO!
*Dependant on if you have a TV tuner card.

Kickstart: Video review

I was browsing on Crackberry.com (the best site for new info on BB's) and came across this video review of the new flip Blackberry....that's right I said flip Blackberry. From what I can see, this is gonna be huge for RIM. A flip screen Blackberry...looks better than the Pearl to me...




Yeah thats whats up....I am gonna cop that for my wife...Sell her Pearl, add the funds to the savings for the Thunder!!!! Shout out to Kevin for the review.

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.

Site of the Day: YouMail

I heard about this site before but, never thought about using it. So let me give you the back story, I was receiving a lot of voicemail for solicitors and everything and contrary to popular belief, putting your name on that list does not guarantee that they will not call you. Another thing is that T-Mobile and most other service providers charge you anytime minutes to check your voicemail. (Bet you didn't know that...) Another facet of this problem was the new OS that I loaded to my phone. Because it wasn't the final release, one of the bugs with the T-Mobile OS is no voicemail icon when VM's are received. No big deal though but I would like when I am receiving VM from important people like the family, friends, and etc. Well, fast forward to today....The site of the day is YouMail. They way YouMail works is that they forward all of your voicemail to the specialized inbox. This gives you the ability to check your voicemail from anywhere, that includes a PC, a Blackberry, or any other type of PDA the capability to browse the Internet. If your phone has the ability to have email "pushed" to it, then you can receive emails that will let you know the name and number that called. Other features of YouMail are custom greetings for individuals, Ditchmail (a wonderful feature for people that you don't wanna leave a voicemail or better yet call you back...), and etc. The best thing about this is that the price is FREE!!! You cancel at anytime and signing up for this service does not mess with your regular voicemail so there are no worries about that. Here is the link to YouMail's website. So until next time....

Site of the Day: Giveaway of the Day.com

Well, time for that daily or at least semi-daily post where I give you a website to check out. The site for today is Giveaway of the Day.com. This site is geared to people who are looking to get software to convert videos to other formats. They also have other types of software that they giveaway for free. The catch is that you have to download and install the product in the given amount of time, hence the name. I downloaded Aplus Video Converter and I am currently checking it out. But so far, it works and allows me to put my favorite episodes of Family Guy on my BB Curve. So go check them out. Click here to go to the site and enjoy. So until next time...

P.S. If you read the blog, submit your comments for what you think I should say after "So until next time". If I like it, I will use...if I don't, I will still use it...hey, what can I say, it is an interactive blog!

Iphone Killer...who knows...

Well, being the BB (that's short for BlackBerry) aficianado that I am, I usually keep up to date with all things BlackBerry. Well, it seems that RIM, the company who makes BlackBerry, is in the wroks of making a touchscreen/slider phone. If this is true, then RIM (in my opinion) would have sucessfully established itself as the leader in smartphone technology. Now, I am not a fan of the slider type phone, I am a full QWERTY keyboard guy myself but, I would welcome with open arms this new device. RIM is now accepting the fact that their brand of phone is appealing to teh "average joe" as well as the business executive. There have been many rumors to different devices coming out of RIM. Here is a link to RIMarkable, a noted BB site for upcoming events. Click here for the article about the new BB slider touchscreen.
