I finally got BBReply properly installed on my BlackBerry 8700g. The trick is to do a full reboot in order to activate BBReply. This means: Turn the BlackBerry off Take the battery out Put the battery back in Now BBReply will be installed and you’ll have a Reply-To option in your menu. However now that…

If I’m going to use this BlackBerry, I need to figure out a solution for my Calendars. My current idea is something like this: PocketMac can’t handle all my calendar data (due to volume or perhaps some invalid character somewhere), so if I reduce the data being sync’ed perhaps it will work. I can archive…

Another 48 hours with the BlackBerry. There is a lot to like, and some not as much. The biggest issues for me are still the lack of IMAP functionality and the ability to reply from a different address. More notes: Battery life is decent – I got about 2 days out of it and my…

I took the plunge – I’m currently playing with a BlackBerry 8700g on T-Mobile. The keyboard is good. Why can’t I be logged into more than one IM network at a time? Odd. The interface for this thing is not as friendly as the Palm OS. I’m still having trouble believing this… but it appears…

The new BlackBerry looks pretty darn sweet. With T-Mobile’s reasonable voice and data plans (though not quite as good as what I have with Sprint), I’m quite tempted to switch now rather than waiting for the Treo 700P. I believe I’m outside my contract with Sprint, so I should be able to leave without hassle.…

I’ve updated my WordPress Mobile Edition plugin to version 1.8. The main changes in this release: Auto-redirects to posts use the proper WP 1.5+ variables. Localization. The download is available on my WordPress page. Enjoy…

I’ve hardly looked back since I upgraded from a 15″ PowerBook to a 17″ PowerBook, but there are a few times (often when travelling) when smaller would be more convenient. At Mashup Camp, I took an informal survey of the laptops I saw there. PowerBooks (and a few iBooks) were the laptop of choice, followed…

Over the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about my mobile computing solutions, and thinking about making some changes. First the PDA/cell phone side of things. I’ve used a Treo for the last 4 years, before that I had a separate cell phone and Palm. I’ve been increasingly restless with my Treo lately – I…

My Treo 600 is dying, the Option, Shift, 0, Spacebar, Menu, Return and Backspace keys no longer work. The Treo 700p is supposedly coming in a month or two, so the timing is less than ideal for something like this (buying a 600 or 650 now makes no sense). Anyone have an old Sprint Treo…

I stayed with a few friends while in the Bay Area last week instead of getting a hotel (many thanks Eric, George and Shelby!) and managed to leave my Treo 600 USB charger in Oakland mid-week. The Treo lasted a day and a half or so, then I had to switch to the A900 –…

I was annoyed when I realized I was outside the Sprint data network1 at the hotel here in North Platte, Nebraska. Luckily, it seems that every motel here has free internet access – I certainly would not have guessed that would be the case. 🙂 Since I just got a nice fast mobile connection. [back]

On the recommendation of a colleague, I upgraded my T608 bluetooth mobile connection to a Samsung A900 (on Sprint’s EV-DO network – they call it “Power Vision”). I finally got the phone provisionsed and wow – was he right! This connection is bloody fast! The process was not without its hiccups: I was first told…

I’m surprised at how useful I’m finding the new “create task from e-mail” feature in the upcoming release of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. This was a frequently requested feature, but not one that I thought I’d use that much myself. Turns out, I was wrong. 🙂 I haven’t yet set up any automatic task creation…

Eric got me all curious about switching to a Blackberry instead of to the Treo 650 (or 700 or whatever comes next). I called Sprint today to find out about my options and was told that my “unlimited vision” data doesn’t cover the Blackberry. You have to add an additional $45/month plan just for the…

My Treo 600 went from 100% battery around noon to completely dead around 7:30pm. I’m not exactly sure what caused the battery drain this time1, but I sure am tired of losing all my data every time this happens. Perhaps it is time to upgrade to the 650. My hunch is ChatterEmail could be involved…
