Multi-IM Client Roundup: Conclusion
  Share 4 Replies   Mar 14, 2010 - 10:31 PM, by MStrawder
As I said when I initially started the reviews, I really wanted to get more clients included to create a larger test base. Unfortunately though, there just aren't a lot of multi-IM service apps out there that play well with BlackBerry's OS 5.0. That doesn't mean however that the apps I tested were somehow lacking or that they didn't fulfill their intended purpose. All three, BeeJive, IM+, and ... [Read More]

Multi-IM Client Roundup: Nimbuzz
  Share 4 Replies   Mar 12, 2010 - 4:25 PM, by MStrawder
Last in the roundup is the only cost and ad free multi-IM client available at the moment that supports the 5.0 OS for BlackBerry, Nimbuzz. Now I want to apologize for taking so long to get this final review out, but as anyone who uses Nimbuzz knows, it's only been in the last week that it was once again functioning on versions of 5.0 above revision .411. In fact, short of downgrading your OS to either 4.6-4.7 or an earlier revision of 5.0, Nimbuzz has been non-functional for quite some time. In order to really get hands on with the app, I downgraded the... [Read More]

Looking to buy a smartphone? Here is a summary of the best mobile phones available today for each platform to help you make an informed decision.

We know HTC very well. We can say with a very high level of certainty that after the release of the HD2, there will be an HD2 with a slide out keyboard, possibly called the HD2 Pro. Think about it: along with the Touch Diamond came the keyboard version for the professional user, the Touch Pro. And along with the Diamond2 came the keyboard version for the professional user, the Touch Pro2. See the trend?
