A few months back, RIM has announced the new OS for upcoming BB devices for this year. Finally, those devices have already been released, but only in Canada. For the US customer, we will have to wait a lithe longer.. maybe this week or the end of this month? Let’s take quick look what these new devices are!

From left to right:

  • BlackBerry Torch 9810
  • BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930
  • BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860

BlackBerry 7 devices

Which device does capture my interest the most? Of course, the Bold Touch 9900!! Although I’m an iPhone user now, I always miss the BB keyboard. This Bold is very special- not because of the nice and big keyboard, but the touchscreen! How cool is that? All the devices received good reviews. Their browsers are more responsive and the devices are pretty quick too. So far I like what I read, but at the same time I’m very disappointed because of Bold’s lack of the autofocus. Yuck! All the new cellphone devices come with better camera, but why BB goes backward??!!??

You can read the specifications and see all the pictures took from Bold 9900.Click here  and see it for yourself! Also, you can read reviews of other BBs from the CrackBerry website.

Take a look at the unboxing video below.

ใช้ Shazam สิครับ สนุกสนานมากมาย ดาวน์โหลดฟรีเวอร์ชั่นได้ที่ แอบเปิ้ล App Store ถ้าใครมี BlackBerry ก็ดาวน์โหลดฟรีได้เช่นกัน


วิธีใช้ก็ไม่อยากอะไรเลยนะ แค่กดปุ่ม Tag Now ปล่อยให้เพลงเล่นไปพักแป๊บเดียว รายละเอียดเกี่ยวกับตัวเพลงเช่น ชื่อนักร้อง ชื่ออัลบั้ม เป็นเพลงที่เท่าไหร่ในอัลบั้ม ออกมาเมื่อปีไหน นอกจากจะได้เห็นข้อมูลของเพลงแล้ว Shazam ยังเก็บข้อมูลให้เราไว้ด้วย อยู่ใน  My Tags. ลองไปโหลดเล่นกันดูนะครับ


คุณคงสงสัย..แล้วคำว่า  Shazam เนี่ยมันแปลว่าอะไร มันเป็นตัวละครนึงในการ์ตูนของ D.C. เป็นกัปตันมาร์เวล ซะด้วย จากข้อมูลอ้างอิง คนที่สร้างตัวละครนี้ขึ้นมาได้ชื่อมาจากการเอาอักษรตัวแรก ของชื่อเทพจ้ากรีก ทั้งหลายมารวมตัวกันไว้ ดังนี้



S The wisdom of Solomon;
H The strength of Hercules;
A The stamina of Atlas;
Z The power of Zeus;
A The courage of Achilles;

As you can see, with dowdgetnward economy, only RIM (BlackBerry) and Apple seem to be doing well in the worldwide market share. Nokia is still sharing the largest  while Samsung shares the least on the market.

 

In my opinion, BB never did well until the Bold and Curve came out. They hit a home for that!!

]]> http://golffy.com/2009/06/23/twitterberry/feed/ 0 RIM BlackBerry Rules the Market http://golffy.com/2009/06/17/rim-blackberry-rules-the-market/ http://golffy.com/2009/06/17/rim-blackberry-rules-the-market/#comments Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:44:54 +0000 golffy http://golffy.com/?p=1628 This morning I just had discussed with Tar (a friend of mine in Bangkok) about iPhone versus BlackBerry. Which one is better or is the winner? Tar admitted that he is now rooting for the iPhone resort. So do I declare that I am taking on BlackBerry side… hahaha. We kept debating to each other. I admitted that I did not like any other BB’s models except the Curve. I do like the fact that iPhone offers more applications. But, for personal purpose of use, I still want to pick BlackBerry over the iPhone. I think there are a few things that I cannot live if I have to use an iPhone. But for Curve, it suits me well at this point.

 

Anyhow, to backup my vision and thoughts, I decide to blog  about how well BlackBerry is doing in the market now. The news has confirmed that Research in Motion (RIM)’s BlackBerry is the one to beat.  Yeahh…!

 

 

International Data Corp’s Mobile Phone Tracker data puts Research In Motion at more than half of the smartphone marketshare for the first quarter of 2009: that 55.3 percent share compared to a 19.5 percent share for Apple’s iPhones. That’s a dramatic surge from two quarters earlier, when BlackBerry devices hung on to 40.4 percent and Apple had 30.1 percent, according to IDC.

 

A recent survey by Yankee Group revealed that of 41 percent of Americans who planned to buy a smartphone for their next phone, half were planning on a BlackBerry — is versatility. Sure, BlackBerry phones have reliable features and an entire app store, BlackBerry App World. But where iPhones and other flashy smartphones are often tethered to one wireless carrier in the United States — iPhone is exclusively AT&T, for example — all of the major carriers support at least one BlackBerry.

When will it be coming out? There is no launching date set at this time, but you can expect to see it during this SUMMER..

 

In the mean time, I’m looking forward to see Onyx – another coming BlackBerry model which is packed with all the nice features from Bold and Curve including 3G and WiFi too.
