We received an email yesterday about EMEA users possibly having 2-way Gmail sync upgrades, and reading around the blogs it seems miBlackBerry are reporting this as well. The comments and forum posts have been a little confused about the situation, as some users think they have it, while others don’t. I thought I would put it out to any EMEA readers and see if they noticed the 2-way Gmail sync. The original tip came from Vodafone Spain.
Let us know if you’re upgraded and now get 2-way Gmail sync.
MobileQs is a great trivia game for BlackBerry that is based on a main game with 1,100 questions, and the ability to expand and upgrade your game with more question packs from different categories. This extends the play and gives you more fun without having to buy a new game. MobileQs has recently released three new expansion packs to their popular BlackBerry trivia game. With over 20 new question packs in progress, expect a lot more updates from MobileQs in the near future.
MobileQs Trivia Game features:
1100 Questions – the most on the market.
Expansion packs so you can easily add more questions without buying a new game.
Questions include current events as recent at 2010.
There are dozens of levels which increase in difficulty.
3 different types of hints: eliminate answers, poll the people, and replace the question.
SYNC is coming to BlackBerry first, which is also something we’re not used to seeing. Perhaps the acquisition of QNX might have some interesting implications here.
BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac has been updated to version 1.0.3 with support for Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Some of the fixes in this release include:
General – BlackBerry Desktop Manager did not connect with some BlackBerry 7130s using BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.
Synchronizing data – Modifying an occurrence or the full series of a recurring event on your device resulted in a duplicated entry on Microsoft Entourage. This was intermittent.
Calendar – Attendee status changed from “Accepted” to “Invited” after changing the meeting details after synchronization.
Contacts – Home fields were duplicated on your computer, if a different home number is added on the device and on the computer to an existing contact.
