My college roommate upgraded to a BlackBerry Storm on Monday. In light of the stinging review in today’s New York Times, I just had to pay him a visit for some hands on time with the new BlackBerry to see what all the fuss was about. As you know, the BlackBerry Storm is Research in [...]
NY Times review takes BlackBerry Storm to the woodshed and smashes it
Have you read this BlackBerry Storm review that’s just out from the New York Times? If you’re thinking of getting a BlackBerry Storm, you may want to head over and take a look. I’m still trying to find one nice thing they say about it. Very seldom do you read a review this negative about [...]
How to sync your BlackBerry to Google calendar and contacts – via Mac
As some of you who read my twitter feed know, I’ve recently re-entered the BlackBerry world. It’s not going to replace my iPhone which is still my main everyday mobile computer. Rather the BlackBerry will enable me to test more of the BlackBerry applications that will emerge in the wake of the new BlackBerry Storm [...]
BlackBerry Bold OEM Desktop Charger
I’ve been testing this OEM BlackBerry Bold drop in charger for the last few days. The reason that I wanted a drop in charger like this is to use the BlackBerry Bold’s external charge connectors. Dropping in the device is easier than constantly connecting and disconnecting a mini USB cable. This is a charge only [...]

Verizon BlackBerry Storm Video Review
Jason D. O’Grady of The Apple Core posted up a nice video of the soon to be released BlackBerry Storm (11/21 release date via Verizon) which is Research In Motion’s eagerly anticipated entry into the world of touch screen devices. I’m still in the “wait and see” camp on this device. I’m concerned about a [...]
BlackBerry ScreenShots without cabling your device (OS 4.3+)
Up until now the only way I’d found to take screen shots of my BlackBerry was by using the USB cable to connect to a computer running screen capture software. This isn’t always convenient – especially if I’m out of the office and want to capture a screen image without the use of a cable. [...]
Blackberry 8220 First Impressions
T-Mobile just sent us an evaluation Blackberry 8220 to test and review. While I’m just getting started on using this and won’t be ready for a full review until a couple more weeks – I wanted to post some of my initial thoughts on where this device fits (and where it doesn’t). You may know [...]
Blackberry Bold 9000 Review
Not too long ago I bought the Nokia E71, since it was pretty much everything I wanted in a smartphone. Excellent keyboard, excellent signal, excellent battery life, and a stable platform. Since I bought it I’ve been very happy with it, and I didn’t think anything would be able to topple it for me. Until [...]
Palm Treo Pro Review
The Treo Pro really needs to be a success for Palm. The company that was once a team of innovators has obviously been talking to the green movement, since for ages they seem to have just been recycling. The Treo 750 was good, but flawed when put up against the competition. For a kick off [...]
Blackberry Curve Build Quality Problems Persist
It’s been about six months since I purchased my T-Mobile Blackberry Curve 8320. As anyone who reads Geardiary knows, I recently abandoned it for my iPhone. I was browsing Howardforums and found an interesting forum post that anyone considering purchasing a Blackberry Curve should read. It concerns a problem that has existed on every new [...]
Goodbye Blackberry, It’s Not Me – It’s You – Here Are 10 Reasons I Left
On Friday I transferred my Blackberry phone number from T-Mobile over to my Apple iPhone, effectively terminating my contract with T-Mobile and ending a 15+ year practice of taking a Blackberry with me everywhere I went. In January I’d purchased an iPhone (“just to try it out”). Like many iPhone owners, I’d been hauling two [...]
