Oh no, you get it all wrong, RIM have REALLY moved the game forward with this. Leading the way into 2010 of how mobile media devices will operate.
Its mindblowing, electrifying, and totally class leading.
I am of course kidding, and just taking the ****.
It is however a nice upgrade to the current BBM, and a step in the right direction for all us lonely misguided BB owners who have not yet seen the iLight

Only just got myself an 8900 curve last week. I love it! Didn't want to follow the crowd with the I-phone either, or the £45 per month contract.

lol Chris its a PIN code, you have one too.
It enables messaging via email and BBM BlackBerry Messenger.
Quite a few SNetters on BBM now, so its just a good little resource to use from time to time, or when bored lol.
To get yours, press shift/alt/h together, and a status screen will pop up, PIN will be one of the sections on it. Always 8 characters.

If the iPhone was able to properly run iChat as a background app, like RIM does with BBM, it would be a TOTAL win....
BBM is very very good at what it does - allows instant messaging, worldwide, from device to device in the background.

Apple have just launched an app for iPhones, in fact very similar to BBM, and actually advertised as "Blackberry have BBM... Now Apple has..."
Obviously not officially advertised like that, but by the masses thats the expression that was used.
Now they have that, RIM will collapse and die, and us BB users will HAVE to use an iPhone, its the only way
I do agree though, BBM is a simple yet great application.

Yes, agreed. The iPhone app is still an app that you have to run - and it relies on push notifications.
The pure simplicity and beauty of BBM means that you don't even have to think about it.

A new browser for the Berry's
Bolt Browser v1.5 released! - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
Pretty good, nice and smooth, fast. Only downside is lack of hotkeys at the mo.
Worth toying with none the less.
BerryWeather for anyone interested
BerryWeather 1.5 now with RADAR MAPS and GPS - Personal Productivity BlackBerry Apps - Crackberry BlackBerry Software Store

Yeah UK radar would be cool, but facts neatly presented will do me for now lol.
I have some of the cities in Florida on it too, so can watch their storms blow in on radar haha.
DS, good stuff mate, was using it last night, seemed to do the job, let me know how it goes.
