Google Pushes BlackBerry Apps as Blackberry Outsells iPhones 

With the blackberry Curve outselling iPhones in the US, one might start to wonder why Google seems to be putting so much emphasis on the iPhone, and not developing an all out Google App for Blackberry Curves and other Blackberry devices. The Blackberry Curve was the best selling consumer smartphone in Q1 2009, and 3 of the top 5 smart phones sold in the US are Blackberries. Moreover, the Blackberry's image is more that of a business professional or enterprise smartphone.

Talk about good timing, on the yesterday's news that RIM's Blackberry beat out iPhones, Google announced that it is currently testing out a new service that will directly push Gmail messages, Google Calendar and Contacts updates to Blackberry devices. (continue reading)

Games For Blackberry - Have Some Fun With Your Phone 

Free Games for Blackberry Curve 8330

Brick Breaker comes preloaded on all of the blackberry curve's that I've come across. It's a simple, yet addictive game that is good to have when your bored and have nothing better to do.

You can find lots of free and paid games for your blackberry simply by going to the Blackberry App World on your phone, downloading the games then allowing them to automatically install



PacMan
This Pacman game was specially written for the Pearl and other 8xxx series to take advantage of the trackball and MP3 sounds. Download



Dope Wars
Get inside the underworld of Crime with Dope Wars. Download



Curling Challenge
This great Canadian past-time combines elements of 8 ball Pool,ice skating and
Shuffle Board - All mixed in togather into one great game. Download



Bubble Popper
Bubble Popper is a good old fashion color bubble popping which reminds me of the old puzzle bubble games. Download



Chess
This version of chess plays exactly like the classic game we are all used to, but brings in an added level of competition. Play for free against a computer or a real opponent. Download



Asteroids
A direct port of the classic game Asteroids for your BlackBerry. This one is played exactly like the original. Blast the asteroids and avoid UFO attacks. Download



Tomcat Dog Fight
Tomcat Dog Fight allows you to use machine guns and sidewinder rockets to hunt down and shoot enemy planes from the sky. Remember to keep an eye on your tail because you are not the only hunter in the sky. Pass the level by downing a specified number of enemy planes or by surviving long enough. Download



Rubix Redux
Just like Rubik's Cube, the objective here is to shift the visible matrix up or down, left or right until all the rows and columns contain matching colors. A save game feature is available so you can pick up and play from where you last left your game. Download

Music To Blackberry Curve 

How To Put Music On A Blackberry Curve

There are a few ways you can add music to your Blackberry Curve 8330. My favorite way and probably the easiest way if you already have music on your computer is to connect your Blackberry to your computer with the USB cable that came with your phone and set your Blackberry to the "mass storage" option. (You will see this when you plug your blackberry curve to your computer with the cable)

Open the Blackberry folder, then open the music folder, then drag the music files you want to add into the music folder. When your finished adding the music tracks that your want on your phone, make sure to safety remove the usb because sometimes it can cause you to lose everything you change on your phone.

Another way you can add music to your blackberry curve is by using the software that came with your blackberry curve. I don't use it very often so I will have to try it out in order to tell you more, but if you follow the directions you should have no problem.

    I absolutely LOVE my new BlackBerry Curve 8330 from Sprint. I can finally keep track of all of the after-hours e-mail traffic associated with my job without being tied to my computer all evening--no more waking up to an overflowing inbox. And all four of my e-mail accounts (including two Microsoft-based accounts) were a breeze to set up.

    Great picture, great sound, and a lot of available apps--including Sprint TV. Plus, I like having a real QWERTY keyboard (as opposed to the touch-screen).

    Web pages show up great. Sure, they could load a little faster, and the trackball can be a bit aggravating (especially when trying to edit an e-mail or text). And it's a little slow waking up in the morning (kind of like me). But those are my only complaints.

    I'd recommend the Curve to anyone, especially if e-mail's your thing. And Sprint offers unlimited data (and a reliable network) at a GREAT price.

    The "BlackBerry Curve 8330" is my 5th BlackBerry upgrade, and by far the best! The list of features is simply outstanding (incuding Broadband Teathering), includes a very usable keyboard, and has an amazing battery life (a lot better than earlier models - 3 days without charging).

    The 8330 performs very well as with my company email and even allows PDF and MS Office document support (read only). The built in web browsing is also very usable.

    The built in camera (with flash) and video ability are fairly good.

    This is finally the BlackBerry I have always wanted - Highly Recommended!

    I have Blackberry Curve with Verizon Wireless and I honestly wonder how I lived without it! It is such a useful tool for email, social networking, like twitter and facebook. The camera is good so you can send pictures and videos to anyone. I use it on fires to send pix and updates from the fireline via twitter and facebook. Before this phone I used a Motorola Q and the Curve blows its doors off. I purchased an 8 gigabyte Micro SD Card for less that $[...] to store photos and videos. Its packed full of features that I have yet to discover.

    Unfortunately, I recently upgraded to the blackberry storm from my old, trusty, reliable curve. Though there are things I absolutely love about the new storm (world-wide calling namely), I very much miss my old Curve. This phone was extremely reliable, never missing calls and always keeping accurate call records. I am one of those people who receives thousands of email messaged per day, and my curve kept up with them all. The trackball was very easy to use and to play brickbreaker, probably the best game to ever come preloaded on a phone. I loved that all my messaged came into one inbox, emails and texts alike. Plus, the QWERTY keyboard was easy to type with and made sending long email messages a breeze.

    There are, however, a few reasons not to buy this phone. First of all, if you need worldwide voice and data, you can't get that with the curve. Secondly, if you like to send extremely long SMS (text) messages, the curve (and any blackberry I believe) has a strict 160-character single

    I finally gave in and went for a blackberry.

    I've been limping by with the LG Voyager. I use my phone extensively for work: my boss loves to text and although the keypad on the voyager is great for texting, you cannot see the screens in sunlight. I happen to live in a small town and am not stuck indoors all day, so it's very difficult to commmunicate with this phone.
    Then one day..... an accident occured and I had to get a new phone.

    The sales lady at Verizon was kind enough to take her BB outside into sunshine; guess what.... YOU CAN READ THE SCREEN IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT! AMAZING IDEA! All other functions have just been icing on the cake. Why oh why did I wait so long. I can answer my international work emails while hiking around Spring Lake with my son! (of course, I can turn the thing off, too!). Highly recommend. Very quick to learn and easy to handle.
