The voice of the BlackBerry community.
Pandora has had a difficult time getting their app ported to various smartphones. I’m still not even sure if it’s ported to Windows Mobile. Regardless, the app works great on BlackBerry and with 3G there are no pauses or stutters. Sadly, the app is not available for the BlackBerry Storm. Also, Pandora Radio is not available to T-Mobile customers.

Rogers has been experiencing a $30 million budget shortfall and at the same time, Rogers recently enacted a price hike on the three-year contract prices for some of its most popular BlackBerry devices. The price increases saw the Curve 83xx go to $149.99 (up $50), Curve 8900 to $224.99 (up $25) and the Bold go to $299.99 (up $50). The following email from a Rogers exec, details the budget shortcomings:
On Wednesday, the senior executive team realized that they were over budget $30 million dollars on their cost of acquisition. How I don’t know why it took so long. [sic] They then did their knee jerk response. Your DBM’s and other local managers know nothing more than this and are in the dark as much as we are on this other than we were told VERBALLY that in market quotes would be honored for 30 days from today. The exception lists are due Monday and only for non named accounts. I have requested in every region for a positioning statement and to this moment have not heard a response. If it makes you feel any better the retail has even more uncertainty.
Is this a case of budget shortfalls being passed down to the consumer?

Solitaire is probably the only game I’ve wanted to play consistently for the last 15 years, and chances are many of you – especially those that grew up without a video game console – feel the same way. If you’ve been looking for a classic game that will keep you entertained for any given period of time, then you may be interested in Solitaire Buddy Gold by Nickel Buddy, maker of the popular game Marble Trap (which is similar to one of my all-time favorite games, Nintaii). Solitaire Buddy Gold is the company’s premium solitaire gaming app, offering about thirteen different games altogether, under one app-roof. They even have the courtesy to throw in a free trial.
Sweet.

Radio Access Network equipment expenditure is expected to contract by 6% as wireless infrastructure vendors brace for a stormy year. The latest market data from ABI Research pegs infrastructure spending at about $49 billion in 2009.
“2009 will be a tough year for wireless infrastructure vendors,” says vice president of forecasting Jake Saunders. He identifies two underlying trends determining the course of this market.
First, deployment cycles for 2G and 3G coverage are rapidly approaching maturity in the industrialized world. There is the lure of 3.5G and 4G infrastructure spending, but 3.5G infrastructure upgrades (HSUPA, HSPA+) are more incremental in value. 4G deployments such as LTE and WiMAX 802.16m represent more than just software upgrades to the network, but will only contribute meaningfully to equipment spending in the 2011-2015 timeframe.

This is a full review of an app called Storm Level Pro, made by Mobigloo. The point of Storm Level Pro is to transform your Storm into a fully functioning level and/or ruler, by using its accelerometer for accuracy. Interesting, right? Let’s do the break down; features include:
Upon the Storm Level Pro’s first touchdown, on the device, installation is noticeably easy and complete, without any additional setting changes. You are instantly prompted to calibrate your device, which is done by simply finding a perfectly flat and level surface (ie a wall) and pressing the “calibrate” button on the screen.
