Web browser comparison - BlackBerry Bold 9700 vs. BlackBerry Torch 9800

Posted by Adam Zeis on 12 Aug 2010 11:54 am
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]Playing around with the Torch the last few days I've become a big fan of the WebKit browser (as I expected I would). Sites that I used to shy away from on my 9700 browser are now a breeze on the Torch and make the web experience that much better. Granted having the touchscreen again is a big bonus, but being able to double-tap zoom and flick around...

BlackBerry Headset Throwdown - Battle of the big three [ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]Wires or Bluetooth? Headphones or earbud?

Posted by Adam Zeis on 10 Aug 2010 12:42 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]Rebooting a BlackBerry - something we hate doing yet something we (unfortunately) need to do. Battery pulls, "soft reset" or whatever you want to call it, it has to be done. Historically our devices have taken nothing short of an eternity to reboot, pushing toward 10 minutes in some instances just to get up and running. Well with the new BlackBerry...

BlackBerry charging solution shootout

BlackBerry Charging Solution Shootout [ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]Through many years and many BlackBerry devices I have never ventured beyond the factory charger. It has always been a point of frustration that the cable included with the BlackBerry has a straight tip, yet the Micro USB connection is on the side of most devices. This makes it awkward when charging and a few times...

Bluetooth headset head to head: Jabra Stone vs. Motorola Endeavor

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 3 Aug 2010 8:16 pm
Bluetooth Headset Shootout - Jabra Stone vs. Motorola Endeavor [ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]As someone who works in New York City, there are two things I've learned: (1) never publicly admit you're a Mets fan and (2) Manhattan is the noisiest city there is.

*UPDATE* - Did anyone else happen to notice the "death grip" coming into play on this video?

Granted it is pre-release but, these things are now going to be looked at more carefully*Salomondrin has some new videos up. If you want to get a quick look at the BlackBerry WebKit browser...
