    RIM looking at possibility of customizing lock screen on BlackBerry

    Lock screens on devices have become an important part for many smartphone manufacturers. No longer is it just a place to enter your passcode, but rather a place to see pertinent information without unlocking your device.

    Research In Motion is currently looking at a few different concepts for its lock screens. It's uncertain if these concepts are for OS 6/7 devices or QNX, but I am interested to see a native lock screen similar to apps like bLOC.

    Security is one of the biggest reasons why so many people choose BlackBerry as their preferred smartphone. Its clear that it rises far beyond the rest of its class in regards to security, and keeping data safe. So when exploits or security loopholes are found it's a big deal. Users want to be protected, and companies need to be ensured their data is protected at all times.

    BlackBerry PlayBook owners have known for quite some time now that they should expect to be able to run Android applications using RIM's Android App Player. We have even been able to get a hands-on demo of the player with a leaked version that came out a few months ago. It looked great, and appeared to be everything that we hoped it would be.

    Curve 9380 And Bold 9790 Model Numbers Appear In BlackBerry App World Developer Portal

    1. BlackBerry News





    A few weeks ago we learned during RIM's earnings call that they would be releasing a few more OS 7 devices. Two of these new devices are expected to be the Curve 9380, and the Bold 9790. We have already seen a few leaked pictures of the Curve 9380, and the Bold 9790, so we know that these two devices are really close to being officially revealed. To add to the evidence both device's model numbers have officially appeared in the BlackBerry App World Developer Portal. This could mean the devices are close to being officially released.

    We do not know much about these two devices. However, we can gather from the leaked photos that the 9380 is eerily similar to the one of the Torch models without the slide out keyboard. The Bold we see is a wee bit smaller than the 9900.

    • What do you think about these two new devices? Let us know in the forums.

    RBC Capital Market Analysts Suggest Fixing Four Key Issues To Get RIM Back On Track

    We are well aware of RIM's financial issues this year, and it seems as though just about everyone seems to have an opinion on this. I like most committed BlackBerry users tend to take most "analysts" opinions on RIM's financial future with a grain of salt. It does not mean that I refuse to adhere to any analysts comments, but it proves to be beneficial to sift through the nonsense, and get to the real issues.

    Earlier this year RIM announced the availability of the BlackBerry Trade-Up Program. The program allows BlackBerry users to trade their old BlackBerry phones for credit towards a newer BlackBerry phones. At the time the selection was limited to a few devices.

    Now RIM has included BlackBerry 7 devices as part of the trade up options. The Trade-Up program may be a good option for those that want a new BlackBerry, but are not eligible for an upgrade from their carrier. As of right now the program only exists for North America, Canada, and Australia.

    If you're like me, you know that life is filled with dozens of passwords & sometimes you forget a few. With BlackBerry ID being an integral part of OS 7, forgetting that password can lead to a nightmare.

    RIM has posted a video to show BlackBerry users that the reset password process for BBID is quite simple.

    When you've got a feature like BBM Social Platform, you've gotta take every opportunity to flaunt it. Since BlackBerry Messenger 6 was released, RIM & several app developers has been creating commercials to promote BBM integration.

    This most recent commercial shows Navita Sports. Could this be the start of a whole new advertising style for RIM?
