Everyone is invited to stop by and hang out in The Lounge. We’ll be podcasting from The Lounge so you can also come meet BlackBerry Cool there. Check out some of the topics being discussed:
- The In’s and Out’s of Managing > 3,000 Smartphones
- Tweaking the BES Performance
- Controlling IT Policies
- Terms of Use & Employee Owned Devices
- Migrating to BES 5.0
BoxTone will also be hosting a panel entitled, “Media Predictions: Top 3 Predictions in Next 3 years.” I’ll be presenting at this panel and although it’s not available to the general public, everything will be taped and made public soon after.

BoxTone just launched a free application for monitoring your BlackBerry’s health, and as someone who needs to count every kilobyte lest he be smoten by the Almighty Rogers Overage Charge, I can say this is a must-have for the heavy-duty BlackBerry user. Graphs show the progress of 24-hour monitoring of vital information like…
• Signal strength
• Battery remaining
• Memory free
• Data sent/received
• Calls made/duration
Solid app, and big ups to BoxTone for making the utility free to all. Hop in on the open beta at my.boxtone.com/insight.

BoxTone partnered up with Neverfail just before WES, and now they’ve got one more buddy to add to their friends list. Interchange works on SalesNOW, a CRM solution, and will be distributing BoxTone modules and services across the UK. BT and O2 are among some of their shared customers, big names both, and will surely work to both of their advantages. After getting back from the UK, I was actually kind of surprising how few people had heard of BlackBerrys…

Keeping with the ‘Long Weekend’ meme, we’ve decided to round up every audio interview from WES 2008. If you weren’t there, you missed quite a sight: Simon went completely bananas interviewing as many companies as possible, sometimes two at once. In honor of that dedication, you can find no less than six interviews in one post! Of course, you can always subscribe to our podcasts/interviews via RSS or iTunes…
