by Robb Dunewood on April 30, 2006 · 18 comments

I know that Google Local has been available on the BlackBerry for a while now, but, I have to say that out of all the free Blackberry downloads that I have on my 7130e, Google Local for Mobile has to be one of the most useful. I know that someone will undoubtedly tell us [...]

BlackBerry Killer? I don’t think so

by Robb Dunewood on January 31, 2006 · 0 comments

The term BlackBerry Killer is thrown around way too loosely as it is given to just about every smart phone with a QWERTY keyboard on it that isn’t actually a BlackBerry, however, I have to scratch my head when this title is given to the BenQ Siemens P50 PDA Phone. In fact, I have [...]

“Professional BlackBerry”

by Robb Dunewood on January 6, 2006 · 1 comment
