Bold 9900 Goes Main Stream with Blackberry 7

Written by admin on August 18, 2011 – 9:50 pm -

As the Bold 9900 launches around the world, people are left wondering whether this is really going to be the device everyone hopes it will be. It’s clearly sporting the keyboard that the bold 9000 had, and the nice big high resolution display. It’s now sporting new things like Near Field Communication and a touch screen.

One thing that’s still remain’s to be seen is the battery life and long term effects of the Bold 9900. After fully hacking, modding and being a huge supporter of the Bold 9900, and being one of the avid owners of the bold 9700, and eventually the 9780, I too am left wondering what the Bold 9900 has ins store for the entire industry.

How hackable  is a bold 9900?
How fast are they?
Do they have OpenGL?
Will they ever be a gaming platform?
Do they plan to make one with a FFC (Front Facing Camera)?
Do they plan to at some point support Adobe Flash 10.3?
Have they improved the browser over the OS6 platform?
How is the call quality compared to prior blackberries?

I’ve heard rumors the Bold 9900’s speakerphone is incredible.

I still hold out my offer that we’d make at least 20 videos, over 40 blog posts and write at least two press releases on the incredible Bold 9900 and pump it to our list of Blackberry 9000/9700 fans who have supported us over the years.

Sincerely,
Daniel J Deyette

PC Mag Columnist Knocks Blackberry Phones

Written by admin on July 26, 2011 – 9:21 am -

Long time Blackberry user Lance Ulanoff, a loyal Blackberry user for many years is publically switching to an iPhone 4.

This struggle (as many of my posts have highlighted) has been a hard one for many Blackberry owners as there has been many offerings in the smartphone arena that have appeared to be innovative. While this columnist has actually stated right in his message that he’s considering turning back at some point, many of us have considered the change.

A former iPhone 4 user, and two time android owner, you might wonder why a person would look at buying an iPhone for business over a Blackberry. It seems like the Blackberry was meant for business, and yet many internet marketers, graphic desigenrs and other business types are now switching over to iPhones.

Truth is – there are bonuses to both… But I think in August of 2011, things may change a bit.

It’s true the iPhone has many advantages that make it a tasty treat for the mobile internet user. It’s got a super detailed retina display. It’s got a descent amount of memory and the web browsing experience is pretty good minus the flash aspect. The iPhone really shines in it’s app selection.
–
As a business tool, however.. The data security is pretty scary. They’re easily hackable and you never know what’s syncing where. Their memory and battery aren’t changeable, and you can easily wind up on a long business trip with no phone. The typing isn’t easy and no matter how good the software gets, nothing beats muscle memory. I know Blackberry owners who can type 60WPM!

The android is a totally different animal, most share the removable battery and memory card like a blackberry, some even HAVE physical keyboards and most support viewing flash online. The trouble is that most flash items were never designed for touch screens OR mobile keyboards. They were designed for the mouse. This basically means you often wind up clicking something youd idn’t mean to and that’s it’s own trouble. Androids often have features available earlier than Blackberry/iPhone – BUT at what cost?

In the end – in August of 2011 – Things will change.
The Bold 9900 seems poised to fix all that has broken with the RIM community. If we can just find a way to support the developers to build more apps (such as the video editing, garage band and other aspects of iPhone available) for the Bold 9900 and slate Storm 3 coming that would make this whole game upside down. The Bold 9900’s liquid graphics would surely support video editing and a ton of other apps similar that would allow it to become a contender for the ultimate social/business productivity tool.

Cheers to RIM in 2011.

Bold 9900 Touch screen and Accelerometer

Written by admin on July 13, 2011 – 3:39 pm -

Here’s a really good demo of the Blackberry Bold 9900’s accelerometer and touch screen in use.

I really can’t wait to get my hands on one of these and see if our growing fan base of Bold 9000 users would really love to get their hands on this instead of their aging bold 9000s. I’ll detail in future updates some of the amazing addons to. The bold 9000 (minus web browsing experience and battery life) remains the top smart phone for fat fingered users who find that touch screen displays are clearly a children’s toy and not meant for business world usage.
