It’s been a while, but we’re back and blogging AGAIN!  Today we noticed a pretty cool tool  over at LMI (appears to be beta).  The tool is for BlackBerry technicians that need to remote into end user BlackBerry devices.  PinStack beat us to this  announcement for this tool. It appears as if  LogMeIn has come to the BlackBerry rescue.  Some of the features  as described:

* Support Organizations will be able to lower their cost and increase end user productivity.
*  Support multiple devices and extend  your organizations capabilites with one single solution.

We’re sure many BlackBerry Users that constantly look for end user support will find this tool to be a huge help!

Congratulations LogMeIn!  - Our  BlackBerry Development Team had hopes of developing a tool like this but you guys beat us to the punch.

If you recently downloaded the latest Flock Browser then we would like to say, “Congratulations”. This post is a little bit off of the beaten path of BlackBerry but we decide to switch things up a little. The Flock Brower has been out for a while and we didn’t really care for it in the beginning but now with a sudden change of heart, we made the switch. With our interest turning in other directions, we decided to give it a try to get more into the social world of things. Our social perferences are FaceBook, FriendFeed, Twitter, and YouTube. We’ve got to go! More to come soon on the Flock Browser.

The developer of this application was very clever in creating this. It gives the end user full control of his device, if  they were to ever lose or have their BlackBerry device stolen. This piece of software is 10.00 bucks . The  prices of BlackBerry devices these days  might just encourage end users to spend the extra 10 bucks. You have such features as : having your BlackBerry call you back, Locate your BlackBerry via GPS, and also remotely lock your BlackBerry.  Seems as if  all major carriers might wanna jump on this.  Does anybody smell a BUY OUT? ; )A funny article about the GETITBACK software —> read here

It’s been reported  that Vodaphone will  launch the new Blackberry Bold in August instead of  June.  Could it be because of the new iPhone deal that Apple is about to release???   Is it time for RIM  to go back to the drawing board???  Did anyone ever guess the price of the Bold yet?  Did someone say $650.00?

A few weeks ago BBHP gave away custom BlackBerry Curves seems as another group’s doing it too. The popular by demand Online BlackBerry Themes Resource Theme4BB.com is doing it now. They have teamed up SugarSync and it’s about to go down. Speaking of which if you haven’t checked out SugarSync you might wanna check it out. Rather than steal the show from the Theme4BB.com crew, go over and take a look for yourself at the full explanation for SugarSync . We have already signed up and the application is worth it! We highly recommend this app!!! At least if you don’t win the custom BlackBerry at least you can win a great app. Check it our here

After the information about the new iPhone ( $199.00) that is soon to launch, everybody’s wondering what will be RIM’s price for the BlackBerry Bold. On average most BlackBerries that launch vary in price. Seems as if the Curve this far has launched at a higher price than most BlackBerries devices thus far. For some odd reason we the MobiShark Team think the Bold isn’t going to launch at a low price. Even with the BlackBerry Thunder about to launch, there’s perhaps even a higher price tag to be delivered to BlackBerry users. The question is though, Will Steve Jobs take a chuck of the percentage from RIM? They might just do so, even though most BlackBerry users are diehard fans. On the other hand also BlackBerry is a nationwide government device, which isn’t going to change any time soon. Rim’s footprint in the cell game is deep and isn’t going to be overshadowed. We would love to hear your thoughts about upcoming prices for the BlackBerry Bold and Thunder please send us an email.

It’s what we have been waiting for Ladies and Gents.  Information was release today by the one and only famous BGR.
The BlackBerry Thunder (9500 series) is said to have the touchscreen that was on most BlackBerry users wishlist. It appears that instead of Tmobile getting this nifty device first Verizon will.  We are excited about this announcement and can’t wait to get our hands on this device. Stay tune for more information shortly.
