Microsoft KIN Two Preview
We’ve only been using the Microsoft KIN Two for about half a day. Even though that isn’t enough time to put a comprehensive review together, we can still comment on our initial reactions about the device. The Microsoft KIN One and KIN Two are aimed at a non-professional crowd, mostly the young Justin Bieber generation. For phones in this category, they definitely do pack a punch. For starters, there is Microsoft Exchange support (no calendar support), an 8 megapixel camera with 720p video capture, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and all the social networking integration you could want

Confirmed: BlackBerry two-way sync for Gmail is now live
We’ve just heard from the boys and girls at RIM that the company did, in fact, deploy the long-awaited two-way Gmail synchronization capability to North American BIS users this week. What does that mean, exactly? Well, it means that if you’ve got a BlackBerry on any North American carrier that isn’t going through BES, Gmail should behave more like it should — deleted items will disappear from your phone, emails read elsewhere will show up as read on the device, and you’ll have access to all of your sent items

CardStar Saves Loyalty Cards on BlackBerry and Android
CardStar launched an app for iPhone last summer that allowed you to store all of your loyalty card info on your phone, knocking down the girth of your wallet considerably, and now it’s available on Android and BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ) handsets. By punching in your membership number, the app generates a barcode that vendors can then scan to get your points/Air Miles/discount/whatever. Extra information, like account information, website, phone number, store locations, and support can also be included from the vendor side – Blockbuster, Best Buy, Delta, PetSmart, and Staples are just some of the chains that have hooked up with CardStar. Participating partners will also occasionally offer coupons and deals to customers who use the app – not a bad incentive at all! It sounds like an extremely useful (and simple) app with plenty of potential

Umbro Look to set Record on Foursquare
Foursquare is a mobile service that recently has started to gain a lot of popularity with a certain section of mobile users. You may well have seen various updates from friends on Facebook and Twitter detailing places where they have just ‘checked in’ to. By checking in at various locations you can earn ‘badges’ through the foursquare service; check in more than anyone else and you can become ‘Mayor’ of that location. Whilst these rewards are fun, there are other points with foursquare – by seeing where friends have just checked in to, you will know if they are in the local area to you, so you can catch up with each other

Using your BlackBerry to help with travel plans
Summer lies just around the corner, and I couldn’t be happier. While it does bring more tourists to the city, it also means lighter commutes, fewer people at the office, and of course sunshine and warmth. This all relates to summer travel plans.

Nokia’s new entry-level QWERTY phone, the Nokia C3 , will be available in the UK soon (probably in June), exclusively via Vodafone. The C3 uses Nokia’s S40 UI, so it’s not exactly a smartphone. Anyway, the handset features a full QWERTY keypad, a 2.4 inch QVGA display, GSM/EDGE connectivity, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headset jack, 2MP camera, 55MB of internal memory, and MicroSD card support up to 16GB

iPad Konkurrenz wächst: RIM Blackberry Tablet “BlackPad” in 2011?
Lange hat man von RIM und Blackberry nichts mehr gehört, doch irgendwie scheint das Apple iPad auch den sonst nur für Smartphones bekannten Hersteller aus seiner Höhle zu locken. Wie nun unter anderem iClarified berichtet, scheint RIM für das Jahr 2011 ein Blackberry Tablet zu planen, welches eventuell BlackPad heißen könnte. In meinen Augen sehr weit hergeholte Gerüchte, vor allem da es für mich persönlich nicht logisch erscheint, ein auf dem BlackBerry OS basierendes Tablet auf den Markt zu werfen , aber nun gut. We’ve received word from a connect that RIM is in fact working on a tablet.

How To Wipe Your BlackBerry And Restore It Back To Factory Defaults
I don’t know why questions often seem to come in bunches, however, over the last week or two, I’ve been asked how to wipe a BlackBerry and restore it back to factory defaults at least half a dozen times.

How To Security Wipe Your BlackBerry Go to your devices Options screen Select Security Options Select Security Wipe Check each of the options that you would like to be wiped from your device Enter “blackberry” to confirm device wipe Click the “Wipe” button Be Careful!!!

BlackBerry 9800 slider shows up again (with BlackBerry OS 6)
RIM’s first slider smartphone – apparently called BlackBerry 9800 – has been spotted in some new hands-on photos, which seem to show that the device runs BlackBerry OS 6 . Furthermore, BBleaks says that the BlackBerry 9800 will be Research in Motion’s first device to use OS 6, which can run on both touch and non-touch phones (like the BlackBerry 9670 clamshell ). The new photos of the 9800 are quite blurry and weird, as you can see below: There’s still no word on the exact features of BlackBerry 9800, but 3G and Wi-Fi should be included. The smartphone will probably be launched by RIM this summer.
