RIM Blackberry Leather Pocket

Advantages: Stylish and provides screen protection.
Disadvantages: Slightly bulky

...In my opinion this is a great accessory for any blackberry user and a must have. This product has saved my phone from damage on numerous occasions and looks stylish and elegent when your phone is left on the desk in the office. My only slight concern is the qaulity of the stitching down the sides of the case as my leather pocket has loose stitching to the right hand side. I have since lost the product from when i first purchased and am awaiting my next case as i have already scratched the large screen on my blackberry since not using it. In my opinion this accessory is a necessity in keeping your blackberry device in pristine condition as it keeps your handheld clean with no scrathces....

Review of RIM BlackBerry Leather Pocket

Life On The Blackberry

Advantages: Colourful, Durable, Protective
Disadvantages: Doesnt proptect the screen or keypad of the blackberry

...I bought a blackberry curve last year on a contract with orange for £25 quid a month. It gets me 300 texts and 100 minutes but unlimited internet. As i know many people with blackberries it was the internet i was most excited about. Blackberries have a program on them called blackberry messenger. It is basically like msn messenger but just for blackberries, so you can send instant messages,pictures, audios etc all for free as long as you have the internet bundle. I'm very happy with my blackberry, it is like having your own secretary on the go. It has email, facebook, sms, camera, music etc etc. However back to the product review. When my friend got her blackberry she didn't use any form of protection for it. After a few weeks i noticed a few scratches on the back of her phone so i thought when i get mine i need to invest...

Review of RIM BlackBerry Skin

Ciao! In My Hand (with love from RIM BlackBerry®)

Advantages: Access/view e-mail with Word, Excel, Adobe PDF, WordPerfect (most non-executable) attachments
Disadvantages: Can view/forward but not edit attachments; no bluetooth technology

...of the basic monthly contract plan. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ What do you get and Who Makes it? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I accessed the websites for Research in Motion and Blackberry to get technical details and find out more about the manufacturer. I also "played" with the phone using an "interactive demonstration" which reminded me of features I had not had a chance to examine in as much detail during my use of Keith's unit. The Phone is made by RIM (Research in Motion), and includes embedded RIM® Wireless Modem and removable/rechargeable lithium battery. Accessories include: a USB cable, a hands-free headset,, international travel charger, swivel holster, and BlackBerry® desktop software supported by version 3.6 or higher. Memory - 16 MB flash memory plus 2 MB SRAM. Battery life ? Approximately 4 hours - talk time? and 10...

Review of RIM BlackBerry 7230

Blackberry 7290

Advantages: economical (second hand), reliable, robust, easy to use
Disadvantages: If you need a camera - then look elsewhere

...with the right software/sim card for use abroad), reliable and dare I say reasonably de rigeur. I noted with some delight whilst in Canada early last year (the home of Blackberry devices - made by RIM) that the 7290 seems to still be quite favoured amongst corporate types, students, government workers and quite a few private users. It was very evident that this was the device of choice for many in it's country of origin, despite the newer, more fancy and at the moment hideously expensive latest generation Blackberrys such as the Pearl, 8700 series, 8800, 9000 and the Storm. Since my return from North America, I have used my 7290 when away from home in the UK and in Europe as well. It is in my opinion the consummate communication device and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who has the same sort of requirements as I do and wishes to...

Review of RIM BlackBerry 7290

Blackberry Fields forever ?!

Advantages: One of natures free fruits
Disadvantages: none

...Roll up, roll up, food for free! That statement has a certain ring attached to it doesn't it? I know that Richard Mabey has written a very much talked about book on the subject of what nature can offer us in terms of nourishment. Sadly as yet I haven't read it, in fact I have just been very tempted to order a used copy from Amazon at just a little over £6. I have to admit to being a fan of Ray Mears and although I hold my hands up to only being a fan I love to watch Ray pounding his berries and making weird and wonderful concoctions using gatherings from the hedgerows. Blackberry picking just has to take most of us back to our childhood and sunny afternoons when we were sent off with a tattered brown paper bag to gather some blackberries to make either jam, jelly or an apple and blackberry pie. Off we went to scour the perimeter...

Review of RIM BlackBerry 7230

Blackberry 7100v

Advantages: Excellent piece of technology, defiantly a great all in one.
Disadvantages: Support for product is very sparse from Vodafone

...better than a bulky laptop any day. You can add as many email accounts to download to your phone with little or no restrictions, just make sure you know how to set up the accounts first. The phone is designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing email and other corporate data to be automatically delivered to the handheld. The hands-free speakerphone is really good quality, I hardly got any interference when using this Folder management to help you file and store your messages/emails also allowing you to delete emails from the dedicated server from the handheld. Bluetooth technology, Intuitive icons and menus with 32 MB flash memory, 4 MB SRAM, Embedded RIM® wireless modem, USB cable for charging and PC synchronisation. It synchronises with Microsoft Outlook/Lotus/Outlook/ calendar/ memopad/ tasks...

Review of RIM BlackBerry 7100v

Blackberry Storm

Advantages: instant email, brilliant user interface, touch screen, battery life, reliable
Disadvantages: camera, slow boot up

...with a built in 1GB memory, great for storing photos, videos, music, ringtones, documents etc It is also plenty of space to save all those emails and text messages. You can expand the memory using the micro-SD slot next to the battery up to 16GB (or maybe more now). You do not have to remove the battery to get the card in. Now music wise, I don?t think anything compares to and iPod, or some Sony phones and mp3 players, but the blackberry come close and quite neatly into the category of music phone. Blackberry or RIM (who make the phone) have come up with a new software, which I think is available on the blackberry bold now, which when opened via the media options, you are greeted with a lovely user interface allowing you to select all songs, artists, albums, genre and of course playlists. These options you would find on most mp3 players now days...

Review of BlackBerry Storm 9500

Blackberry Curve 8310

Advantages: Great phone
Disadvantages: None

...So bear with me as this is my first stab at writing a technology review but I received a new Blackberry for work a few weeks ago and I'm really pleased with it so I though I would write a review on it. The model in question is the Blackberry Curve 8310 Smartphone. I got mine free but with price plans available with the different service providers it can be anywhere up to £200 I believe. The first thing I noticed about the phone (which is what made me choose it and as you can probably tell that I'm not very technologically minded!) is that it looks good. The phone has a lovely metallic finish, almost like a gunmetal grey colour to it although it does come in a pink version too (I wasn't allowed this for work unfortunately!) It has really nice rounded edges too and in my opinion is quite sleek. It's very light weight too, just like...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

Black marks for the otherwise brilliant Blackberry

Advantages: Easy to use, functional, good memory
Disadvantages: No good for Mac users; ring tones not loud enough

...on this aspect. I also have not had occasion to use the Calendar or Tasks feature. In terms of failings, the volume in terms of ring tones is not nearly high enough - mind you I find this problem with all mobile phones. Occasionally the machine freezes too - but I suspect this is because my handset is now over a year old and has been dropped a few times. The weight might be an issue to some but the fact that the handset is chunky is actually a bonus to me - it makes it less easy to lose. Also if you want a camera with your phone don't get this: it doesn't have one. A major failing for me is the lack of ability to synchronize with Apple computers. I own an Apple and was advised to download the PocketMac for Blackberry programme. This worked once and has never worked again since. A computer technician (at £95 per hour) was unable...
