Finally, A Legalized Access Solution From BlackBerry!

Posted by admin On January - 14 - 2011
BlackBerry has announced that it has implemented a solution for legally intercepting messenger and internet services. But, it denied similar access on BlackBerry Enterprise Server, saying that the firm has “no ability to provide its customers’ encryption key”.

Research-in-Motion, the makers of BlackBerry, said in a statement that “the company has now delivered a solution that enables India’s wireless carriers to address their lawful access requirements for our consumer messaging services, which includes BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) and BlackBerry Internet Services (BIS) e-mail.” However, the permission of legalized access does not stretch to BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), which is in fact a Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution.

This world leading mobile manufacturing firm also said, “as we have stated on several occasions and as we have set our company’s Principles for Addressing Lawful Access Matters, no change can be made to the security architecture for BES customers since, contrary to any rumours, the security architecture is the same around the world and RIM truly has no ability to provide its customers’ encryption keys.” It also added that it can’t access instructions encrypted all the way through BES given that neither the respective firm nor the wireless operators are ever in control of the encryption keys.

Earlier, RIM had guaranteed the Indian government that they will present the final solution for the legal interception of BlackBerry Messenger services by 31st January 2011.

How can one change RIM’s BlackBerry Storm2?

Posted by admin On January - 23 - 2010

Storm2It is stunning that how many stellar smartphone options Verizon Wireless customers have, but we don’t remember that RIM’s Storm2 that is hotly-anticipated was rocking the suburbs late last year. We are very excited to know if those who sprung are happy with your decision.

If you are having any doubts or queries like if you really think RIM addressed the gripes from round one? Was the addition of WiFi what sealed the deal? Is the display responsive enough? Are you annoyed that you did not hold out for the new Palm lineup? Then please ask us here, we will surely find your answers and will get back to you.

BlackBerry MagnumThe good news for all BlackBerry lovers is that CrackBerry seems to have it on authority that the phone which is displaying here is an early Magnum prototype, has been scrapped in favor of something better, the “Dakota,” a stealthy tribute to diehard BlackBerry user Dakota Fanning.

Both devices are centered on the concept that you would have a traditional Bold-style keyboard down below, a touchscreen up top and scrap the trackball / optical pad altogether that is a new concept for RIM.

Differences between the Dakota and Magnum are a little hazier, but one change which is notable is apparently a move to liquid lens tech for the camera; considering how much these guys innovated or over-innovated with SurePress. A tendency of is to leak like an old faucet, so I am sure it won’t be long until we get more intel on these bad boys.

Is BlackBerry services down in North America?

Posted by admin On December - 23 - 2009

BlackBerry 9700BlackBerry everything on the Fritz? BlackBerrys are always supposed to do some things well:

1) Grab your email in real time off an Exchange server
2) Make you look important
3) Work.

Though, it seems that many are working on our third major North American outage here in less than one month, with the reports flowing in that users connected to BIS are having trouble with web browsing, Messenger and apps that consume data (email is though inexplicably unaffected).

Being reported by users, data service issues look:

Update 1: BlackBerry data is no more. No emails, no BlackBerry messenger, no web browsing, for its North American users.

Update 2: BlackBerry Messenger and things like the apps and web browser that use a data connection. Though, email seems ok. And it also seems not all subscribers and not all carriers are affected.

Update 3: It seems that upgrading to the new version of BlackBerry Messenger may resolve some of the BBM issues. So, if you can manage to get it loaded up, you might have some life again.

Update 4: There is the current Google Search Results for “BlackBerry” that makes for some additional fun reading to kill the time.

So, let’s wait for more details.

Are BlackBerry Curve 8530 impressions good?

Posted by admin On December - 22 - 2009

BlackBerry Curve 8530RIM has enlisted more CDMA engineers as the gap between new gadget devices launching on GSM and then making their way to CDMA has been getting smaller over time. A few months ago, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 was launched on T-Mobile and has already made its way to both Sprint and Verizon. It is not the same powerhouse like its older sibling the Tour, but this device includes a heck of a lot of punch into a pocketable package.

Design of BlackBerry Curve 8530

The BlackBerry Curve 8530 has a very sleek look to it with the rounded nature and lack of hard edges. It is not as ‘professional’ feeling as the Tour and it missed the shiny chrome accents and the soft-touch rubber surfaces. The Curve product line has always been more low-end than the Bold and Tour line, so I am not going to complain.

The convenience keys and media control buttons at top of the phone and along the sides seemed a little bit cheap to us. They are more useful than the lock buttons and mute that you find on most other modern BlackBerrys.

The keyboard is where BlackBerrys shine but after getting accustomed to the keyboards on the Tour, Bold and 9700, I am bit underwhelmed by the 8530′s offering. It’s essentially the same keyboard as on the original Curve that means that the buttons are clicky and tactile, but a little bit hard to type on.

So, what do you think about this product BlackBerry Curve 8530?

When BlackBerry Onyx will be release?

Posted by admin On October - 5 - 2009

BlackBerry OnyxI am not expecting the hit of the BlackBerry Onyx 9700 in the market before November, but at least a few units have hit the wild and these are the photos I have seen.

The BlackBerry Onyx is designed with a high-gloss black finish and leather grain on the back. Sporting features like Wi-Fi calling, high-speed 3G Web browsing, visual voicemail and also provide support for personal and corporate e-mail options. They are sure that the Onyx mobile will fulfill all your on-the-go needs. The Onyx comes preloaded with mobile applications from BlackBerry App World which includes Amazon MP3 store for easy and quick music downloads as well as TeleNav GPS Navigator.

BlackBerry Onyx 9700’s features are:

•    3G support
•    a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash
•    a 3.5mm jack
•    Wi-Fi with UMA support
•    A MicroSD slot

The Onyx will also support Wi-Fi calling or UMA. I have noticed that T-Mobile is still using the name “Onyx” because RIM has not made the device official yet, but this is indeed the BlackBerry Bold 9700 that I predicted would be coming to T-Mobile.

T-Mobile said it is planning to launch the device before the end of 2009. Until early November, the new information was under embargo so we can expect an official announcement around that time.

Amosu-diamond-blackberryAlexander Amosu has unveiled the world’s most expensive Diamond-Encrusted BlackBerry. Amosu is back once again with BlackBerry after a slew of BlackBerrys in precious metals that includes the Pearl Limited Diamond Edition, the Pink BlackBerry Bold and Tellor.

Amosu also comes with a 24 hour global concierge service focused on ‘accessing the inaccessible’. This Diamond Blackberry is coated in solid 18 carat yellow gold and caked with 4,459 brilliant cut diamonds with a weight of 28.43 carats.

The price tag is £125,000 or $240,000. One thing I want to inform you that there will be only three of these diamond-encrusted BlackBerrys in the world where one has already been sold to a client in the Middle East who is quite happy and satisfied with it. So, only two such handsets are now available and will ever be made.

So, if you want this bejeweled Blackberry this Christmas then hurry up!
