The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the United States Department of Defence and is now managed by the US Air Force and is readily available for anyone to use free of charge. Yes, free of charge. As a matter of fact, just about anyone could buy a GPS receiver and build a primitive [...]

The other day I took a trip to the Rogers store to check out the BlackBerry Bold. I was hoping that they would have a demo handset ready for me to check out… unfortunately, they did not!
Apple has demo iphones in mostly every store that it is sold. I asked the customer representative at the [...]

I’ve been considering switching to Rogers to be able to get the new iPhone. I called Telus to see what it would cost if I canceled my plan. I’m only 1 year into my 3 year contract and so it’ll cost me $500. In other words, getting the new iPhone would cost me $200 (cost [...]

Remember the Milk is one heck of a ToDoList application. It will plug into your Blackberry, your Gmail Account, and your Google Calendar Account. I absolutely love it! The integration is amazing! I highly recommend everyone start using this website to manage their lives…
Here is a screenshot of the Gmail integration:

Bravo Telus!!! That’s not something I’d usually say… but, this is truly a good deal. If you were ever looking to buy a BlackBerry, now is the time… As a promotion, Telus is now giving out the new BlackBerry Pearl / HTC Touch / or HTC S720 for free when you sign up for a [...]

I wrote previously about the fact that Telus is only offering Unlimited Email to owners of the new BlackBerry Pearl and HTC Touch. It seems that the only reason this offering was made was because Bell Canada was doing the same. I heard this the first time when I called Telus to ask them if [...]

If you are like the other 8 million people around the world that have BlackBerries, you are in luck! RIM has recently added an integrated Facebook Application to its popular mobile phone. The BlackBerry Facebook application is based on the Facebook Mobile API, which is still fairly new.
To be honest, I am very impressed and [...]

So, the long journey is finally over.
Telus finally gave me a replacement BlackBerry. The first one I received was defective and so they graciously replaced it. The new phone works just fine. I’m finally happy

About a couple of days into life with a BlackBerry I realized that the mobile internet features don’t always work. This was slightly disappointing; but, being the nice guy that I am, I brushed it off. Then there was the massive outage. I learned that a lot of people were affected by this and so [...]

RIM& Telus…. the good vs the bad…

The Good:
I have to admit that when I first got the brand new BlackBerry 8830, I was very excited. The 8830 is a CDMA phone but can also connect to GSM networks when you decide to roam globally. This essentially means that if you plug in a roaming SIM [...]
