I received my second BlackBerry ever this week in the mail and I am so far, pretty impressed, however there are some issues that I am sure the more recent BlackBerry phones take care of.

The wait is finally over to get your hands on the LinkedIn app for BlackBerry. We have been waiting a very long time to get this app.  It is a nice app but looks pretty much like the Facebook and Twitter apps for BlackBerry.

There are a lot of people out there that aren’t big fans of the BlackBerry devices like we abusers are. They choose to be fans of the Apple’s I-phone. This has brought on the great I-Phone vs

Where is the best place to store a bluetooth headset when you’re not using it?  This is a question many of us ask because there isn’t really one ideal location.  Sure you can get a bluetooth pouch and wear it on your hip but those never seem to fit the headset correctly.  Thankfully the creative team at MoGo created a bluetooth headset that can be stored on the back of your phone so you always have easy access to it.  The MoGo Talk was previously released for the iPhone and soon it will be available for the BlackBerry. MoGo Talk will be the first bluetooth headset that can be stored into the back of a BlackBerry.  It features a slim design and it only gives your phone a little bit of extra bulk.  It also can be charged along with your BlackBerry so you don’t need to have an extra bluetooth charger.  What’s great about MoGo Talk is that you can carry it around in certain types of holsters that store your BlackBerry face in.  Most importantly it offers the same superior audio quality you find in many of the top level bluetooth headsets.  MoGo Talk will available soon for the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and Curve 8900.  Initial pricing will be $129.00 for each model.  Find out more about the MoGo Talk for BlackBerry here

In 2009 RIM released some amazing new phones but it’s an old favorite that continues to be the most popular.  The Nielsen Company has unveiled their Top Mobile Phones of 2009 and the Curve 8300 series came in second just behind the iPhone.  It was a close race, in fact the Curve 8300 series was only .3% away from taking the top spot. When we talk about the BlackBerry Curve 8300 series we of course are talking about five different models (8300, 8310, 8320, 8330, 8350i).  When you break down the series even more the most popular out the group is the Curve 8330 however the 8350i with Nextel support is also in demand.  This is not too surprising because the Curve 8330 has been in the spotlight since its release in 2008. According the data compiled by Nielson the BlackBerry Storm 9530 finished 7th and the Pearl 8100 series finished 10th.  These are all low priced, consumer friendly BlackBerry phones expect for Storm 9530.  You can expect things to change next year.  Now that we have a new Curve series (8500) and the new trackpad it’s only a matter of time before the 8300 series becomes extinct.  Still though it has been quite a run and this is the series that has changed the way people look at BlackBerry phones
