ATT & TMobile Go Head To Head on Amazon

What surprises me that ATT & Tmobile are both offering the phone at the current moment for the same price, $49.99. What’s different is that AT&T seem to offer their services at a minimum of $45.00 per month – and Tmobile is offering theirs at $39 unlimited… Tmobile seems to have a simpler easier to understand packages and plans and AT&T is a challenge to read up on to know what your getting with all their provisos and extras.

Keep your eye out on these though, I noticed before the holidays, AT&T was offering theirs up for a buck with signup… but truthfully, what good is a buck of the dataplan sucks?

Bplay Lets You Upgrade Your Themes

For those of us who spent tons of money (like me) on themes for the Blackberry Bold 9000 last year, there’s hope in bringing those warm, fuzzy memories back to the Bold 9700!!!

After some frustrating emails back and fourth with Bplay, I realized my themes were on an old email address, so I logged in using that one (thank goodness I still remembered the password) and then.. Damn there it said 9000 next to each theme… So I emailed back and fourth some more with Bplay asking if they could give me upgraded versions for the 9700 as they are now selling those in their store…

Then… I just thought aw, what the heck, I’ll try downloading them from my past purchase area on Bplay… boom! there was the option to download the 9700 version with no extra cost! Hope this helps someone else too!

Bold 9000 – Gmail doesn’t work on wifi

Yes, it’s true, Gmail and other applications like Viigo don’t work on WIFI.

As you know, I stopped using the blackberry 9000 as my daily phone, but my wife is now using it as a web browser around the house and the truth is that it’s great for that via wifi and battery life doens’t become such an issue anymore. But if you want to use it to check your GMAIL, your hooped… at least via the Custom Gmail App Google designed.

The real trick comes when you realize there are POP3 email softwares out there that you can install on it and then use the Gmail pop3 settings to continue using it as an in-home email/web browsing device.

That’s the work around solution we have right now.
