    Press Release: RIM Announces BlackBerry Management Center for Small Business

    Today RIM launches BlackBerry Management Center, a free online service that helps small businesses automatically back up smartphones on a regular basis, locate lost devices, reset a device password, or remotely erase the information stored on a device if it is lost or stolen.

    What is the true cost of a lost smartphone? For businesses, the cost can far exceed the actual cost of the device. Factor in the cost of lost productivity with the time it takes to set up a new device and recover lost information, and the cost can climb into the thousands of dollars. Costs can soar even higher in cases of the loss or theft of unsecured or unprotected devices that allow confidential customer or company information to fall into the wrong hands.

    Mobile security is an important consideration for small businesses and one that needs to be taken seriously. BlackBerry Management Center is just one of the ways that RIM is helping SMBs manage, secure, and protect BlackBerry smartphones and the information stored on them.

    Within days of carriers starting to release the BlackBerry Bold 9900 & Torch 9810, Otterbox has officially announced their line of products (cases) for new BlackBerry 7 Smartphones.

    Fort Collins, COLO. – Hot on the heels of the new BlackBerry® smartphones based on the BlackBerry® 7 Operating System (OS), OtterBox® introduces the ultimate protection for the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 and 9930 and the BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810 to keep them in pristine condition.

    “We are delighted to offer a variety of cases which coincide with the advanced BlackBerry 7 smartphones,” OtterBox Founder and CEO Curt Richardson said.

    Proud owners of the BlackBerry Torch 9810 will ensure their smartphone remains well protected with the stylish and sleek Commuter Series® case. For the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930, customers can choose from the durable Impact Series®, stylish Commuter Series or rugged Defender Series®.

    For protection without additional bulk, the Commuter Series** features an inner silicone layer fitted with an outer polycarbonate shell; this case is stylish and sleek protection for smart on-the-go BlackBerry smartphones use.

    The Impact Series** takes silicone to the next level, with inner coring designed to dissipate shock away from the smartphone, safeguarding from bumps and shock.

    Both the Impact Series and Commuter Series cases come with a microfiber cleaning cloth, adhesive screen protector and installation card.

    The OtterBox Defender Series* for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 offers rugged protection in three layers:

    • Layer one is a built-in screen protector
    • Layer two features a hard polycarbonate shell
    • Layer three is a durable silicone skin


    Also included with the Defender Series is a holster-style belt clip for hands-free carrying.

    A BlackBerry Bold 9900 was spotted on display at a Carphone Warehouse in the UK yesterday. This comes a few days before most carriers in UK & USA have planned to released the device. It is unclear at this time if it's already for sale at this store or if the display was prematurely put up.

    Are you excited for BlackBerry's UK release of OS 7 devices?

    If you've noticed recently that Koodo was selling the BlackBerry Curve 3G for a no-contract price of $150, you probably wondered if this was foresight to new things to come. Well, according to the above screenshot, Koodo will soon be carrying the BlackBerry Curve 9360 with a $300 price tag. No much is known on this unreleased/unannounced device, but I'm sure more details will become available closer to when this device launches.

    My Canadian brethren, you'll be excited to know that's you can now purchase the BlackBerry Bold 9900 & Torch 9810 from Bell. The pricing seems on par with what Rogers is selling the devices.

    We were a bit surprised to learn today that RIM is suspending their BlackBerry Certification Program indefinitely.

    If this certification program sounds foreign to you, it's a program that trains professionals on the BlackBerry solution for real-world scenarios.

    Dear BlackBerry Alliance Partner:

    RIM has decided to suspend indefinitely its BlackBerry Certification Program. A broad range of online and instructor-led training offerings remain available to help our customers use BlackBerry products (see BlackBerry - BlackBerry | Wireless Handheld Devices, Software & Services from Research In Motion (RIM)). RIM will continue to work with customers and partners to develop the most valuable learning and support services. Effective immediately partners will no longer be required to complete their Service Competency obligations under Section 2.3 of the Alliance Program Guide. Until September 9, 2011 you may contact us with any questions you may have.

    One of the most recent attempts to make BlackBerry device lines a bit more consumer friendly was the addition of BBM Social to BlackBerry Messenger 6. During our recent trip to BlackBerry 7 Fan Night, we had the opportunity to speak with a BBM Product Expert who explained to us how BBM Social makes BlackBerry devices stand out from the competition.
