SeamlessWeb allows you to order food directly from your BlackBerry browser. The site is a mobile portal to their website with the help of Usablenet. When you hit up their homepage, you can order from a variety of restaurants and have it delivered to your office or home.
The site is really popular in the US where many companies have even tied it directly into their employee expense accounts.
Try the new SeamlessWeb mobile site and make sure to bookmark it.

We told you a few days ago that Skyfire was soon to be arriving on BlackBerry and BGR has confirmed this with screenshots of the browser in action. How amazing will it be to have full flash support on your BlackBerry with the ability to stream video from sites such as Hulu? Very amazing.
One user who has alpha tested the browser describes it as “already being the best BlackBerry browser ever.”

In order to capture a certain part of the consumer market, a device needs to be sold without a contract. Too many consumers are scared away by them and would rather pay the fees up front. Truth be told, there are a ton of ways to get out of contracts and you’re better off getting the hardware discount.
Would you really pay 180 GBP for a BlackBerry Pearl? Seems overpriced.
The T-Mobile deal includes a year’s unlimited email and internet access, but not any inclusive calls. The Orange deal charges £5 per month for email and net access, but does come at a cheaper price.
