Vonage Releases Calling Apps for iPhone and BlackBerry
While the Google Voice application for the iPhone continues to be hung up in Apple’s review process, a similar application from another company has passed with flying colors. On Monday, Vonage, the Internet telephony company, is releasing a mobile application for BlackBerrys, iPhones and iPod Touches. The application, which is free, will allow users to place low-cost international calls over Wi-Fi and cellular voice networks. Once it is installed, users load up their calling accounts using a credit card. Rates vary by country. Vonage said it would eventually release a flat-rate plan with a recurring subscription fee for frequent callers. “Given the penetration of smartphones and ...
BlackBerry Curve 8520
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 aims to go where no 'Berry has gone before, a land with no trackball. RIM's trackball is beloved and like the BlackBerry line, addictive. It's responsive, accurate and more efficient than the much more common d-pad. So why axe it? The trackball does pick up dirt which can affect performance (and require an alcohol rub-down to get working), gets dingy and involves several moving parts (moving parts are more likely to break down). The Curve 8520 instead has a small optical trackpad in place of the trackball and miraculously it works nearly exactly like the trackball. ...
BlackBerry Curve 8900
Making a good thing better isn't easy these days. We've seen phone manufacturers make incremental improvements that don't jazz reviewers or the buying public. RIM, makers of the BlackBerry line of smartphones, clearly haven't succumbed to "manufacturer's block": the Bold (the best BlackBerry to date), touch screen Storm and now the Curve 8900 prove that RIM still has that special sauce that floats sales even during these hard times. The Curve 8900 (sometimes referred to by its code name "Javelin" or Curve II) adds nothing groundbreaking but tweaks just the right things to make the BlackBerry Curve once again seem cool ...
BlackBerry Storm
With a whirlwind marketing campaign behind it, the RIM BlackBerry Storm 9530 for Verizon has been a highly anticipated smartphone. Why? This is the first touch screen BlackBerry. Gone is the hardware QWERTY keyboard synonymous with the 'Berry. Instead we have an on-screen keyboard-- actually two: 1) a standard QWERTY in landscape mode and 2) 20 key SureType in portrait mode. Who'd have thought even RIM would jump on the touch screen bandwagon gone rampant since the launch of the first iPhone? nd RIM has done something different here: this isn't the resistive touch screen usually found on Windows Mobile devices, ...
BlackBerry Tour
What's hot: New software and styling. Excellent messaging experience and strong application selection. What's not: Camera takes mediocre pictures. Battery life could be better. Those who are on Verizon and Sprint typing away on their BlackBerry 8830 or Curve 8330 now have something to pine for: the BlackBerry Tour 9630. Smaller than the BlackBerry Bold but classier than the Curve 8900, the BlackBerry Tour is the flagship CDMA BlackBerry smartphone. It has a 528MHz processor, and 256 MB RAM and 256 MB internal flash ROM. It's running BlackBerry OS 4.7 and desktop software 4.7, and has built-in GPS with BlackBerry Maps, built-in Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP stereo support, a media ...
