Blackberry Application Store
I deleted the Blackberry App World from my Blackberry Bold because it used up my application memory. My Blackberry Bold would run slow and restart at least twice a day because of the application memory issue. This issue is known by RIM the makers of the Blackberry devices, thats why newer Blackberry models like the Blackberry 8900 have 4 times the application memory as the Blackberry Bold and the Blackberry Storm. When RIM designed these devices they did not consider the Blackberry App Store. But now having the application store online will save the memory on the devices. The new Blackberry Application store web address is appworld.blackberry.com/webstore The web address if you want the Blackberry app store on your device is blackberry.com/appworld downloaded from you Blackberry browser.
Samsung Magnet
This cell phone is offered on at&t prepay and can be used for texting. It is only a $100 and is the lowest price for a full qwerty key board cell phone on at&t.
Nokia E71, Nokia Surge and Nokia 6650 sales stopped in South Florida
The 3G Nokia’s have been stopped from being sold in South Florida by AT&T in any of their retail corporate stores or indirect stores. These 3G Nokia models are shutting off by themselves and rebooting. The problem is not the cell phones but in the South Florida market only it is caused by a network issue on AT&T that only effects these 3G Nokia models. The other non-3G Nokia models are not affected by this network issue.
I was told by AT&T to take down any posters promoting any of the 3G Nokia models until further notice.
I did experience the rebooting on a Nokia E71 myself a few weeks ago. While I was playing around with the phone learning the features and downloading the Skyfire browser for my friend the E71 phone rebooted 3 times on me. My friend who owns the E71 Nokia phone also commented the phone reboots on him at the Dania exit on highway 95 all the time.
Buzzirk Mobile a Scam
I joined this multi level mobile phone company a few months ago in case it was real. I lost $69.99 sign up because it has not been able to produce anything it promised. I even lost my WordPress Blog because I wrote about this multi level company and my experiences with them and I had posted most of the emails I got from Buzzirk or Zero1. I read today an article about Buzzirk and Zero1 that I am copying below from Fierce Wireless. Zer01 Mobile, the MVNE that has been dogged with concerns about its service, said that because of a breach of contract it has cut its business ties with Buzzirk Mobile, which was supposed to distribute the company’s service. Zer01 did not specify in what way the contract had been breached. The company also sought to address questions that have arisen about its business and technology. Recent reports by IDG News Service have raised concerns about the viability of Zer01′s service offering as well as the business practices of marketing firm Global Verge, which owns Buzzirk.”Overall, there were a number of news articles and blogs that mis-reported a lot of the facts about each company and its services,” Zer01 spokesman Ron Dresner said in a statement.Zer01 said the business dealings of Global Verge don’t reflect on Zer01, and that the two companies are separate entities. The company also said ”questions about Zer01 Mobile’s patent-pending technology in the news are totally unfounded and motivated by marketplace competitors. Any visit to the patent office will prove Zer01 Mobile’s VMC technology registration.” Zer01 added that it cannot release information about its business partners, following questions about what carriers will support the company’s VoIP-based technology (neither AT&T Mobility or T-Mobile USA–the country’s two nationwide GSM carriers–are working with Zer01).Finally, Zer01 said it planned to defend its “reputation and integrity,” possibly with legal action.Zer01 has promised a mobile virtual network enabler service that could support unlimited wireless voice and data service via mobile VoIP technology running over an unnamed carrier’s GSM network.
Sent from the Internet (Details) Hi Guys, I hope that everyone is doing well. The last few weeks we have patiently waited for Global Verge and Zer01 to get their acts together and begin distributing what they promised.The 30 days that they asked are up, and with the following two sites publishing valid facts, we have decided to put our efforts elsewhere.We have since cancelled our autoship. We strongly recommend that those of you that have joined the venture do the same. Steve Lewis interim CEO fired:http://www.mlmhelpdesk.com/2009/08/07/breaking-mlm-wireless-news-global-verge-founders-fire-steve-lewis-and-crew-before-they-can-resign/ Zer01 terminated buzzirk and global verge yesterday, and they are suing them: www.dslreports.com/shownews/Zer01-Blames-Partners-Press-For-Problems-103946

Exception upgrades for at&t mobility
Most people do not know what an exception upgrade is for at&t mobility. A customer can renew a contract after only completing six months of their 24 month contract and get a new cell phone at a discounted price. An exception upgrade can only be done once a year and the price of the cell phone could be $20 – $50 more than a normal upgrade depending on the cell phone of their choice.Customers with suspends/disconnects within a 12 month period will not be deemed eligible to upgrade, regardless of their time since last upgrade/activation. Customers whose accounts have outstanding balances will also not be deemed eligible to upgrade until their accounts have been brought to current status.An exception upgrade is supposed to be the 2 year contract price + $75. You’re eligible for that exception upgrade as soon as 6 months into your contract (only 1 exception upgrade per every 12 months though)In my at&t store in Weston Florida we have a few cell phone models that are the same upgrade price with an exception upgrade. The Samsung 777 and the Samsung Magnet are 2 o f the models. We only charge $9.99 for the Nokia 2600 and $19.99 for the Sony Ericsson 350 with an exception upgrade. But that will change starting August first. At&t will subsidize the cell phones a lot less after August 1st 2009.So if you are on need of an exception upgrade and can do it this month don’t hesitate to give us a call. 954-349-2001 at the at&t store in Weston Florida.
Bolt browser for cell phones, Blackberry and Smartphones
Yesterday I had a customer come into my store and said he wanted to see the internet web pages like on the Apple 3Gs iPhone. He did not like the at&t browser Media Net. The websites like MSN and Yahoo did not look the way that he was used to seeing on his computer. The at&t Media Net browser displays the web pages in a mobile phone format which is a simplified version of the web page. I took his cell phone and in 3 minutes I had the Bolt browser up and running. This new browser surprised this customer, he was so happy with the browser that he was going to go home and download the browser in all of his family members cell phones. So far I have the Bolt browser on my Blackberry Bold, Blackjack 2 and on my Sprint LG Rumor. I first tried Bolt about a week ago. mobilewiseguy.com/2009/07/31/bolt-new-web-browser-for-blackberry.aspx My first post about Bolt browser Since that day everyone that I showed the browser too and have a Blackberry have commented that the Bolt browser was the best they have ever seen or used on a Blackberry device. I am able to do so much more with my Blackberry with the Bolt browser. I was limited before editing my Blog or website but the Bolt browser allows me to do edits and see pages that I could not do unless I was at a computer. I recommend everyone to try this browser. I will be testing this browser and many others on different cell phones so keep coming back for my updates.
