Free BB App: face2face Combines LinkedIn, Facebook, And MySpace Into A Single BlackBerry App

programmer — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:19:56 +0000

I just installed face2face , a cross platform, location aware, social networking client from Promimate Global that combines Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter networks into a single client as well as ads consolidated chat between face2face users, on my BlackBerry, and, although I’ve only played around with it for about 5 minutes, it seems to be a pretty slick app thus far. face2face is a location-aware smartphone app that solves the problems of privacy and safety that have become synonymous with social networking – so that more people can benefit from the advantages that come from knowing which friends are nearby. I probably won’t enable any of the location aware aspects of face2face, and I will probably keep using a dedicated Twitter client on my device, however, face2face could be a candidate to replace Facebook for BlackBerry and LinkedIn for BlackBerry. I can’t say for sure just yet, however, I am impressed with speed and the interface of the app and if it allows me to effectively git rid of Facebook which is slow, and replace LinkedIn which is large, face2face, my find a permanent home on my BlackBerry Storm 9530 which is memory starved

There is no question that Research in Motion is doing everything they can to make the BlackBerry more popular with consumers. The currently running BBM commercials are in indication of that. It is good to know, however, that RIM isn’t ditching that date that brought them to the dance… Business users.

The BlackBerry And iPod Touch Are Like Peanut Butter And Jelly

rebste — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 05:41:19 +0000

This post originated on Simple Mobile Review I know that every BlackBerry user isn’t an iPod Touch owner and visa versa, however, the combination of the two devices often seems to be as common as peanut butter and jelly. Today I sat in a meeting where every user at the table had a BlackBerry and 4 of the 6 BlackBerry users also owned an iPod Touch. As we got to talking about it we all came to the same conclusion… The BlackBerry is the king when it comes to anything related to communication (messaging and phone). The iPod Touch is great at the multi-media and application stuff. Yeah, I know… Ground breaking details. The thing is, we ALL wanted an iPod Touch with a 3G data option like the iPad and a camera. No one wanted the iPhone (as a phone) as we all want to avoid paying again for a voice plan we did not plan to use

If this image is not Photoshopped, and, there is no reason to believe that it is, it may be the first picture of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider in the wild. See what CrackBerry forums member GoBlue has to say about this photo… A few weeks ago I was at my kids event and saw some person sporting a slider….no big deal I thought until I saw him slide it and saw the BB Logo….I asked him it that was the new BB Slider and he yep. Played with it a few, it was running 6.0

Opinion: Android Devices With Good Phyiscal Keyboards Pose A Bigger Threat To The BlackBerry Than The iPhone Ever Has

ACDigital — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:20:24 +0000

I was having a conversation with a few friends recently all of whom know that I am really into smartphones, the BlackBerry in particular. One of them had just gotten a new iPhone 4 and was trying to convince the rest of us, all BlackBerry users, that the iPhone 4 was going to crush the BlackBerry and put RIM out of business. Being the smart Alec that I am I asked if he was using the term “crushed” loosely like when he said the iPhone would crush the BlackBerry, the iPhone 3G would crush the BlackBerry, and the iPhone 3Gs would crush the BlackBerry.

Bloomberg: iPhone Coming To Verizon In January

ryan — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:20:08 +0000

According to two (unnamed) people said to be familiar with the plans, the iPhone, currently exclusive to AT&T in the United States, will become available to Verizon subscribers starting in January of next year. This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard this rumor. It is, however, the first time that we’ve heard it from a news organization as big as Bloomberg . The question for me was never one of “if” the iPhone would come to Verizon, but, more of “when” would the iPhone come to Verizon. The big questions that I have now are: How will Verizon’s network stand up?
