Stupid question, I know. But the guys at Computerworld Mobile & Wireless wrote:
One of the biggest stories behind the release of the iPhone 3G — and the iPhone 2.0 firmware update for first-generation iPhones — was the inclusion of features designed for use in business environments. While many analysts and enterprise users have argued in recent weeks about whether the iPhone can replace Research In Motion’s BlackBerry as the prevailing smart phone for business, little has been said about the tools and processes that Apple offers systems administrators to actually deploy and manage iPhones at work.[...]
I don’t think the BlackBerry can be replaced by the iPhone. What do you think? Please leave a comment if you feel you want to share your thoughts with us
There is a new application on the market for your BlackBerry® Wireless Handheld which automatically forwards your SMS text messages to your email mailbox. Pretty simple and small but still useful app.

Letting your mobile phone ring in the theatre? So passe, darling. And there’s always the risk that if Richard Griffiths is in the cast he will lambast you from the stage. So the obnoxious technophile has hit on a new way to ruin the evening for those around them, one that will not attract the unwanted attention of actors, ushers or theatre management: the BlackBerry check.

Some time ago we reported about the new QuickTask™ productivity app for BlackBerry. It is currently available just for $0.99 at MobileSoftMarket.
It works pretty well with the TaskMaster application on your BlackBerry and brings some really easy to use productivity enhancements for less than a reasonable price
Not long ago, it was estimated that over 600,000 laptops are lost each year at airports, and the number of mobile devices is even higher, so one company has launched a service that promises to protect, recover, and replace your mobile devices from theft and loss. To get started, you’ll want to visit Yougetitback.com to check out the service that allows you to remotely lock your cell phone if it ever ends up in the wrong hands.
[...]
The company estimates that 75 percent of all lost or stolen devices have a chance of being recovered if they are tagged and registered with this service, but if they’re not, they say they will replace your device if you subscribe to a premium service. This service currently works with a few phones like the BlackBerry, and soon an iPhone version will be available.
This service just costs $20 a year. So it might be worth to consider it. I think it is even more important to get the data on a device back rather than just getting the ‘hardware’ back. Remember guys: Always do a BACKUP!
