As expected, we’re talking Torch. I played with this one all week and have plenty of thoughts on it, including why it will help RIM in almost every way. It’s part of the advantage of having a platform rather than a device. Don’t like this particular device? There will be others

One thing I didn’t notice when reviewing the BlackBerry Torch : there is no low battery indicator. I’m sure that will change with an OS 6 update, but for now it’s a problem. I’m sure, too, that some folks would like notification when their battery reaches a certain level. It would come in handy when there is no charging method nearby

Tomorrow, August 12, you’ll be able to walk into an AT&T store and purchase the newest BlackBerry device, the Torch 9800. But before you decide which device you’ll use for the next two years, we should take some time to discuss the ins and outs of the device. There is plenty to cover regarding the hardware, and then we’ll move onto the software aspect. The hardware The idea behind the Torch is that it’s the ultimate BlackBerry device. It combines the touchscreen of the Storm with the QWERTY keyboard that made the BlackBerry so famous.

Update: The BBM download site appears to be working again. BlackBerry Help is says you can download BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.1.38 via the following link: http://www.blackberry.com/select/bbm/download.shtml It looks like Research in Motion has decided that all BlackBerry users trying to download BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.1.38 simultaneously was not such a great idea after all and has temporarily pulled the update to arguably the best mobile IM client of all time. Either this was the case, or, BBM was prematurely released. Rumor has it that 5.0.1.38 will return, later this week, via BlackBerry App World.

Last time we visited this topic, I wondered who needed a prepaid BlackBerry . That came a little less than four months ago, and at the time there weren’t a ton of options. Only two prepaid carriers, MetroPCS and Boost Mobile , actively carried BlackBerry devices. Others offered them, but there wasn’t that level of direct carrier support — i.e., you could bring a BlackBerry to some prepaid carriers and activate it, but you might not get all the features. Since then we’ve seen some further developments

In a way, whether we’re in school or not, we’re all students. When we’re at our jobs, when we’re taking care of the family at home, even when we’re out in social situations, we’re learning something. And when you’re learning something you probably want to stay organized so you can get the most out of it. We’ve gone over a number of organization applications in the past. In the past we’ve reviewed StudentDocket , and just a couple of weeks ago reviewed Calendar Pro .
