Yet another MDA review

Michael Oryl over at MobileBurn has posted a review on the MDA.  As per Michael’s usual ‘MO’, his review is quite detailed, and full of great pictures of the device, camera samples, battery testing, etc.  Michael always does a thorough review of the devices he writes about.

Highly recommended if you’re on the fence about buying an MDA (or Cingular 8125 for that matter).

Upcoming BlackBerry Review(s)

Since I’m going to be investigating several different BlackBerry devices and the four major mobile providers in the US over the next few weeks, I’m going to do some reviews here on the blog.

The devices I’ll be reviewing will be:

  • BlackBerry 8700c on Cingular
  • BlackBerry 7105t on T-Mobile
  • BlackBerry 7130e on Verizon
  • BlackBerry 7250 on Sprint

So I’ll try and get these reviews up as I work with each model – I’ve got the 8700c for the weekend so if I find the time, that’ll happen soon.

Playing with Cingular 8700c this weekend!

Our BlackBerry project at work is starting to make a little bit of headway on the “fun” meter.  We just got in our first development device – a Cingular BlackBerry 8700c!

Too bad Cingular makes it super-difficult to link to specific devices on their website, so I’ll link to the actual BlackBerry page (here and here) instead.

RIMarkable on Visto Post

RIMarkable has a post on the same Visto story I talked about earlier today.  I still can’t figure it out, and have the same question as Robb Dunewood – who actually uses their technology to get mobile email?  There are dozens of people that we all know that use BlackBerry’s, some that have Palm Treos, Nokia Series 60/S60 devices, and Windows Mobile Smartphones and Pocket PC Phones that use alternate methods like GoodLink, POP3, IMAP and Exchange 2003 solutions.

While I don’t agree with some that question the viability of patents today, I do lament the lack of integrity of patent filers/holders and in the disappointing performance of the US Patent Office itself regarding technology patents.
