Ubertwitter hits the 1.0s!

Posted on by

Bold 9780 gets facetime in T-Mobile commercial (and by facetime, we don’t mean that iPhone business)

Posted on by

We saw an influx of Torch ads when it was released, however the 9780 has endured a much more media quiet release.  This device is not only featured in a new T-Mobile commercial, but featured in white by a bunch of ballerina’s!  Lord of the Dance, Taylor Martin, approves.  Check out the video below, and make sure to leave us a comment below if you have gotten a chance to use this new Bold!

CNBC Pro unleashed onto BlackBerry smartphones

Posted on by

Not many BlackBerry applications give you up to the minute stock information and breaking news while it happens.  CNBC aims to change that with their news CNBC Pro application.  This application delivers a laundry list of features for the business minded BlackBerry user, providing you with all the stock market’s ups and downs and the news that you want to see.

We all know BlackBerry to desktop synchronization has always been shoddy at best.  However, the new CNBC Pro application allows you to sync the setting from desktop to BlackBerry and vice versa.  CNBC Pro will allow you to sync only the information you want (or need to those of you who work in investments) and keep the other crap off of you phone.  Of course, you can expect nothing but the best with the $269.99 a year price tag (or $24.99 a month, if you so choose).

For the low-down on the CNBC Pro application, visit here.

BGR goes hands on with BlackBerry Playbook

Posted on by

As if we weren’t already slobbering with excitement over this lovely device, this video has definitely heightened the expectations that many of us share.  Check out the video below for more.  Under said video there will be a little overview of the various features, just in case you’re at your work computer slacking off with us!

One of the coolest features of the Playbook is definitely all the swipe gestures that are integrated into the system.  This could potentially create an extremely user friendly environment for both techies (like myself) as well as the technologically impaired.  The screen of the Playbook is drop dead gorgeous, even by the standards of being viewed through the lens of a camera.  The interface was snappy and I noticed very little lag.  Several misplaced touches occurred, but that was purely operator error and was in no way the Playbooks fault.

After seeing the video above, please let us know if this device lives up to your expectations!  Also, feel free to include a wishlist of things you’d like to see included in the device before it hits stores.

Storm 3 on its way, shows up in Best Buy Mobile’s Genie system.

Posted on by

While this isn’t the biggest thing in the world, it’s a dinosaur bone for those pups eagerly awaiting that *ahem* GORGEOUS device that we’ve seen in pictures up to this point.  The foreshadowing of events that often comes in the Genie system has yet to fail us, and today I cannot say I’m satisfied any less.  The Storm 3 has shown up in said system, pointing to the fact that we can expect to see the Storm 3 soon.  If all goes well, it may even show up before the holiday season!

While the Storm 3 hasn’t been officially announced, and little is known about it, the pictures have put it on a pedestal for me.  According to several reliable sources, we can almost surely expect the QNX operating system on the device.  This, above all, excites me.  We can only hope that this phone is as awesome as it looks, because RIM needs a lifeline.  If nothing else, we need a phone that makes Taylor drop his sushi addiction to save up some money for it.

BlackBerry Storm 3 aka Monaco, and touchscreen Bold known as Montana?

Posted on by

It looks like RIM has finally decided to step up their game and start competing with Android, iPhone, etc.  All of the following information is based on rumors and hearsay.  Diversifying fact from fiction is impossible at this point in time, so take this all with 1.2×10^9 molecules of NaCl.

One thing we can almost guarantee is that the refresh to the Storm 2 (also known as the Odin Refresh) is a scrapped project.  However, there is still rumor of a Storm 3.  If you didn’t see the original article on the Storm 3, click here to see it.  Like all BlackBerrys, the Storm 3 must adopt a crappy nickname before it is released so that RIM can dazzle us with unintelligible bologna that will only make sense when the phone is actually announced… but, I digress.  The Storm 3′s super-awesome codename is the “Monaco”.  Don’t ask us why because, to be honest, we have no clue.

However, here comes my favorite part of this news.  There have been to pictures in relatively rapid succession from Mr. 1.3-megapixel, non-autofocus man himself of a BlackBerry Bold totally devoid of a trackpad.  Instead, it seems that this Bold will sport a touchscreen, similar to what we saw on the Torch (minus the sliding mechanism).  This phone has been codenamed Montana and pegged as the Bold 9900.  Above is something of an artists rendition, and not an actual picture.

I have to say that I am extremely curious about both the Monaco and Montana, but the Montana in particular.  I think it’s an awesome idea, but RIM needs to really deliver on this one if it is to be a success.  With the holiday season quickly approaching, a fire needs to be lit under RIM’s behind.

Shazam Application Review

Posted on by

Shazam is by and large one of the coolest applications currently available on the BlackBerry smartphone platform.  Have you ever heard a song on the radio, fallen in love with it, and not known what it is (or not been able to remember)?  Shazam allows you to place your microphone next to the speaker for approximately 5 seconds, after which it will make the sound to a song and tell you exactly what that song is (and tag it so you can have it later).

The user interface is very simple.  All black, white lettering, blue highlighting.  Not much can be said about the UI, as it is very bland.  However, it is still aesthetically pleasing, and the text (despite being rather small) is very easy to read.

Accuracy was that which I was most skeptic of.  How in the world could a sound byte of my music direct this application to a song?  To my surprise, even some of my more obscure music or less well known music was immediately picked up.  The only thing that confused Shazam was certain remixes (particularly dubstep remixes).  All the songs that you identify (or tag as Shazam calls it) are put in a list in which the most recent tag is at the top.  You can then go through your various tags.

The nice thing about Shazam is all the extra features it gives you after a song has been tagged.  It allows you to look up the lyrics, gives you extra information, and even recommends song that you may like (some of which were other songs that I already listened to).  While those who aren’t hardcore music buffs (like myself) might not find this app particularly useful, it is more centered around those who like their music and like it a lot.

Shazam is offered in the Encore version ($4.99 in App World), which allows recommendations, unlimited tagging, and a laundry list of Shazam’s best features.   It also comes in the free version, which is limited to 5 tags a month.  You get a week long trial of the Encore edition when you download the free version.  If you’re currently a Shazam user, or you’ve decided to try it out for the first time, please let us know!

Terminal Mode puts the “car” back into BlackBerry, or something like that

Posted on by

QNX is a name that all of you BlackBerry fanatics are probably familiar with.  If you need to refresh your memory, check it out here.  Regardless, this new development in the world of BlackBerry is borderline outstanding.  In the video below, you will see seamless integration between a BlackBerry and a car, using Nokia’s Terminal Mode.  It goes without saying that this is the coolest and most functional team since Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster, or Taylor and chopsticks.

Red BlackBerry 9780 may be headed our way, Jersey Shore give it two fist pumps

Posted on by

We just recently saw the 9780 news officially drop last week, with a laundry list of carriers confirming that they will be carrying the device.  As far as we can tell, this video is truly a 9780, but it is in a test environment.  The 9780 has not (and possibly will not) shown up in red in pre-orders, so only time will tell

I have to say… I have seen some ugly phones in my day, but this has to be the ugliest BlackBerry that I’ve ever seen.  BlackBerrys (beside the Pearl) have always had an executive look to them (half of the reason that I liked them so darn much).  Even the white Bold still had a pristine and dignified look.  A red Bold is just another step in the wrong direction for RIM, at least in my opinion.  Let me know what you guys think!  Red BlackBerry Bold, pass or fail?

BlackBerry 9650 could be preloaded with BlackBerry 6 in near future?

Posted on by

Rebate forms are often a carrier or manufacturers way of leaking a little tidbit out, whether accidental or not.  The latest rebate from from Verizon shows two new SKU’s regarding the 9650.  While this is purely speculation, we can safely assume that the 9650 may soon see BlackBerry 6!  If that is the case, this will be the first Bold device to get bumped up, and on the carrier that seems to be notoriously slow with upgrades no less!

So how many of you have a 9650 and are looking for a nice upgrade?  Also, if you plan on staying with OS5, let us know in the comments below!

Apple passes RIM as fourth largest in mobile phone production

Posted on by

If you’re in a good mood today, or love RIM as much as we do, I would advise that you don’t read this article.  It pains me to say that, according to IDC, all BlackBerrys combined sold a total of 12.3 million devices in the last quarter, as compared to Apple’s 14.1 million.  While the Apple iPhone 4 is still pretty big, the hype around BlackBerry 6 and the Torch was hoped to more than make up for Apple’s recent release (and don’t forget the 10 odd BlackBerry models that released prior to BlackBerry 6, i.e. the Curve, Pearl, Bold, etc.). Full press notes below.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct 28, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — The worldwide mobile phone market grew 14.6% in the third quarter of 2010 (3Q10), the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, driven in part by the fast-growing converged mobile device category. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, vendors shipped 340.5 million units in 3Q10 compared to 297.1 million units in the third quarter of 2009.

The growing popularity of converged mobile devices, or smartphones, with consumers and businesspersons is evidenced by the appearance of a second smartphone-only vendor in the top 5 ranking. Apple moved into the number 4 position worldwide in 3Q10, joining Research In Motion (RIM) as one of the world’s largest mobile phone suppliers. RIM has spent three quarters on IDC’s leaderboard. Apple and RIM also posted the highest-growth rates among the top 5 vendors last quarter.

“The entrance of Apple to the top 5 vendor ranking underscores the increased importance of smartphones to the overall market. Moreover, the mobile phone makers that are delivering popular smartphone models are among the fastest growing firms,” said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC’s Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker. “Vendors that aren’t developing a strong portfolio of smartphones will be challenged to maintain and grow market share in the future.”

Apple, RIM, and the vendors producing Android-based smartphones have put noticeable pressure on Nokia, the overall market leader. “Nokia still leads all vendors by a significant margin for converged mobile devices and mobile phones as a whole,” said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC’s Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team. “However, Nokia’s grip on the traditional mobile phone market has been somewhat loosened, as multiple Chinese vendors have gained ground, especially within emerging markets. To bolster its overall competitiveness, Nokia has been focused on improving its smartphone offerings.”

Market Outlook

IDC believes the worldwide mobile phone market will be driven largely by smartphone growth to the end of 2014. “The smartphone is becoming the focal point of the personal communications experience,” noted Restivo. “As a result, new market growth will be increasingly generated by smartphones. This year, we are expecting the smartphone sub-market to grow 55% year over year.”

Regional Analysis

Competitive forces emerged in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) region last quarter to the detriment of market leader Nokia. In emerging markets, brands such as Micromax, Nexian, and i-Mobile chipped away at Nokia’s market share. Android-powered smartphones also gained momentum across the region at the expense of Nokia. Samsung gained ground in South Korea while Huawei, Lenovo, and ZTE launched devices in several markets. In Japan, mobile phone market growth was driven primarily by domestic vendors Sharp, Panasonic, Fujitsu, and NEC. The Western European mobile phone market’s growth was largely attributable to smartphones, which grew thanks to the iPhone 4 and Android-powered devices from HTC and Samsung. Demand was also stoked by large operator device subsidies that helped to keep consumer interest in smartphones high. At the same time, the CEMA handset market grew slowly in 3Q10. As a result, smartphone volumes are growing substantially but still only comprise one-fifth of total shipments for the regions combined. This is modest compared to more economically-developed regions. The United States mobile phone market was characterized by growth in the smartphone market. Grabbing headlines were the Apple iPhone 4, RIM’s BlackBerry Torch 9800, the HTC EVO 4G, and Motorola’s new DROID X and DROID 2, all of which were launched last quarter. Not to be overlooked was Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone lineup, which were launched at all of the major carriers last quarter. Traditional mobile phones, meanwhile, fought back with smartphone-like functionality, but saw their overall share of the market continue to decline. In Canada, Android-powered handsets gained momentum as Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson and Motorola shipped new models. Huawei and ASUS, low-cost providers of Android devices, entered the market. RIM’s BlackBerry Torch was announced while the iPhone 4 was introduced to great fanfare. Despite continued economic sluggishness in some countries, the Latin American region grew as a result of higher smartphone adoption. Vendors like Alcatel, ZTE, and Huawei have targeted Latin America aggressively with entry-level models in an effort to steal share from Nokia, the overall market leader in the region. These models are lower-cost product offerings designed to meet the needs of basic users. Motorola’s Android-powered devices have also grown quickly in the region due to the popularity of models like the QUENCH, Backflip, and Milestone.

Top Five Mobile Phone Vendors

Nokia maintained the top spot in the overall mobile phone market despite year-over-year unit shipment growth of less than 2% in new chief executive Steven Elop’s first quarter at the helm. The company grew converged mobile device shipments 61% in 3Q10, but average selling prices for the device type dropped to EUR136, compared to EUR190 in the same quarter last year. Nokia attributed the plunge to price pressure from competitors and its stated desire to reach more customers. Nokia hopes the C8 and C7 devices will boost ASPs in future.

Samsung marked a new milestone during the third quarter, pushing through the 70 million unit mark for the first time in the company’s history. In addition, the company more than doubled the number of converged mobile device shipments from the previous quarter. Driving this was the worldwide release of its Galaxy S i9000 converged mobile device, as well as its bada-based Wave model. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, Samsung appears poised to bring more smartphones to market, with a new Wave 2 awaiting launch and more mass-market devices for emerging markets.

LG Electronics missed its 3Q10 total mobile phone and smartphone shipment growth targets, resulting in an overall double-digit shipment decrease when compared to the same quarter one year ago. LG has yet to make a significant impact in the smartphone category unlike its competitors. Although operating margin returned to the same levels as a year ago, sales and profitability both fell significantly. By the end of the quarter, LG replaced its CEO Nam Yong with Koo Bon-Joon, head of LG’s trading firm, LG International.

Apple leapt ahead of several vendors in 3Q10 including RIM, which it surpassed by 1.7-million units, and Sony Ericsson by 3.7-million units. The company’s record shipment performance can be attributed to the introduction of the iPhone 4 in 17 new countries last quarter. The record performance came despite “Antennagate,” the name used to describe the controversy around alleged iPhone reception problems, in July.

Research In Motion posted a record number of unit shipments in 3Q10. The BlackBerry maker continues to grow in Latin America, for example, due to the success of the Curve 8520 entry-level model, which has helped drive growth in most emerging markets. The vendor’s results were also boosted by the introduction of the higher-cost Torch in the United States, a key market due to the size and intensity of competition.

SonyEricsson, which shipped 10.4 million units in 3Q10, fell off the Top 5 list for the first time since the Tracker was conceived in 2004.

BlackBerry Curve 8530 vs BlackBerry Curve 9330 (3G)

Posted on by
The 8530 is what started it all, at least for me.  Almost a year ago (mid-November), I picked up my first BlackBerry and have been mildly content with it ever since.  Of course, when I first bought it, I knew nothing of build quality, memory, internet speeds, etc.  I was just enamored by my first bout with a smartphone.  When I started writing for BBerryDog and learning more about RIM, I started to expect a lot more of them than what I got with my 8530.
…Enter the 9330.
I have to say that I am not blow away by the 9330, but it is a huge upgrade over what I am using at the current moment.  It’s easiest at this point to compare and contrast the two phones.  While the similarities are astounding, the difference make the 9330 well worth spending extra cash on.
How They Compare
The form-factor of the 8530 and 9330 is almost identical.  Upon using the 9330, I found that there was no familiarization period with the keyboard as they are practically identical.  Both phones still have the dedicated media keys on top (which I have mixed feelings about), a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top left, mini usb directly under the jack, and 4 soft keys (a volume rocker on the right and two programmable shortcut keys on either side).  The camera resides at 2.0MP with no flash on both devices.
I am overjoyed that they kept the form-factor of the 8530 when making the 9330.  One of my favorite parts of my phone is that it is so light and thin at 3.7oz and 0.55”.  The phone is extremely pocketable, making it great for just sliding in and out of your pocket.  My biggest problem with this “upgrade” is that RIM failed to deliver a better camera on the 9330.  2.0MP is just atrocious, as smartphone cameras go.
How They Differ
As far as appearance goes, the only difference between the two is that the 9330 has a shiny, gray bezel around the face of the phone and also lacks the rubber spacers between the 4 face buttons (send, BlackBerry button, back, end/power).  According to the specifications offered by Big Red (Verizon), the 9330 and 8530 have the same screen resolution, but I have found that the 9330’s screen has a much more crisp looks to it.  I noticed darker darks, lighter lights, and overall better contrast.
Both phones use a 1150 mAh battery said to give you approximately 252 hours of standby time.  For the past few days, I have been using my 8530 only for texting and calls (calls have lasted a total of 6:37 with 217 texts) and the 9330 for tweeting (50+ refreshes plus my own tweets) and browsing.  The 8530 had to be charged once on Friday in the middle of the day.  Both phones had been off the charger since 6 and both had gone through the rigors of being enclosed in cement containers (classrooms).  The 9330 still held half of it’s charge after tweeting almost all day.  I had sent 4 texts from the 8530 and was in the yellow (under 20%).
My favorite part of the 9330 has to be the keyboard.  If you’ve ever used an 8530, the keyboard is the most unstable phone keyboard I’ve ever used.  The keys slide all over the place, often resulting in mistypes and buttons not being completely pressed.  Thankfully, I did not run into this issue with the 9330, as the keyboard is very tight and responsive.  The trackpad was also wobbly and poorly constructed on the 8530, which is not the case with the 9330.  The 9330, above all else, has fixed all the issues I had with the physicality of the 8530.
So Should I Spend My Money On This?
My simple answer would be no.  If you want the best BlackBerry you can get your hands on without breaking the bank, then the 9330 is definitely the way to go.  The 8530 is really what got me to where I am right now, but I can’t, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone, not with the other devices out today.  If you don’t plan on being a hardcore user, and the BlackBerry is mostly just for email, then the 9330 wouldn’t be a terrible choice.  However, if you want a high-quality smartphone you should probably go with something like the 9650.  It’s a little more expensive, but I would definitely say that’s your best bet.

Socialscope Twitter application for BlackBerry

Posted on by

Socialscope is so much more than just another Twitter app for BlackBerry.  The words that really come to mind when thinking about Socialscope are “social media hub.”  Now, you may have noticed I didn’t say social-network hub, and that is no mistake.  Socialscope not only allows access to Facebook and Twitter, but also FourSquare and Flickr.  But this is NOT about all of those.  This is purely a review of the Twitter app portion of Socialscope.

The first thing that I noticed about Socialscope was how simple it is.  The colors are simple, not over the top, and one can access everything in Socialscope from the BlackBerry menu key and the [+] sign in the top bar of the UI.  Simplicity of use is a big plus with Socialscope, and definitely one of the better points

The is most definitely the most aesthetically pure Twitter application I’ve ever seen.  The UI is based on a white background, black text, and blue for highlighting.  The @-mentions (as it is with most Twitter apps) are highlighted in yellow and DM’s are blue.  The yellow highlighting is, sadly, sometimes very difficult to see.  If you turn your BlackBerry and look at the screen at an angle, you can see the yellow very well, however when you stare straight at your device, it is very difficult to see.

The keyboard shortcuts are one of the big selling items within Socialscope.  Most are rather self explanatory, others may take some time to get used to (Note: these aren’t all of them, there are some duplicates):
  • U – update (C also works)
  • R – reply
  • V = favorite
  • L = refresh
  • K = reply-to-all
  • F = quote/retweet
Pros
  • Simplicity of UI
  • Basic and easy to read UI
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Low battery usage
  • Easy access to multiple Twitter accounts
Cons
  • Private beta (go to http://getsocialscope.com to sign up)
  • Network issues every once in a while.  Must do a battery pull to correct
  • Keep you “too connected” (for those networking-addicts like myself)

If you’ve not used Socialscope, I would strongly recommend that you get over to the site and sign yourself up for an invite.  Also, make sure to let us know in the comments below if you’re already a Socialscope user and if you like it! Tell us what your favorite part about it is! And, if you would like, feel free to follow the BBerryDog team on Twitter:

BlackBerry Podcast application gets a 1.0.0.48 update

Posted on by

If you’re a podcast listener, and you have been using the native podcast application, then you are in luck!  The update for BlackBerry Podcast is available in the app world (if you don’t feel like going through the trouble, I’m sure it will be pushed to you soon).  No luck on what this update does, but I expect that it is mainly bug fixes.  If you find any specific changes, please let us know in the comments below!

Hootsuite for BlackBerry goes into free public beta

Posted on by

As you may or may not know, Hootsuite is one of the most advanced desktop social-networking applications available.  It combines a laundry list of features for those of you who use things like Twitter and Facebook the way we do here at BBerrydog.

Hootsuite has just made it’s way to BlackBerry smartphones.  Currently in public beta, Hootsuite allows you to access your Facebook and Twitter feeds with ease.  Whether you are posting or reading, Hootsuite takes this all into one place.  Touchscreen BlackBerrys are supported, as well as everything from 4.2 to 6.0. You can find Hootsuite here, but, before downloading, make sure to read the next paragraph.

As many of you may know, I am a Curve 8530 user.  The Curve is one of the lowest end 5.0 BlackBerrys out there.  The processor is slow and the phone can be extremely laggy at time.  That being said, Hootsuite is terrible on this phone.  I found that my phone was lagging all over the place.  Hootsuite managed to make a slow phone even slower.  I hate to sound campy, but if you’re using a low-end BlackBerry like myself, I’d strongly recommend going elsewhere for your Twitter and Facebook needs.

BlackBerry Dropbox beta updated to version 1.0.34

Posted on by

As a student, I  must say that Dropbox is something that I live and die by.  The fact that I can back up all of my documents in a central location is fantastic.  Since the application has arrived on BlackBerry, I have been using it to transfer pictures and documents to my desktop from my phone and vice-versa.  One of the best things, I must say, is the ability to edit my documents on the go!

But enough about my uses, because the application just got better.  The application, prior to the update, was buggy at best.  It was difficult to use and somethings just didn’t work. Nonetheless, the update is said to fix that.  Since I’ve updated, I have noticed that the application is faster and easy to use.  If you have any other experiences (especially negative) please let us know in the comments below!
