The buzzing of BlackBerries during meetings may be an annoyance to Mayor Stephen Mandel, but it’s something he had better get used to.

Civic politicians today voted down a proposal that would have prohibited them from using the electronic gizmos during council and committee meetings.

“I lost again,” Mandel later told reporters.

Other levels of government ban similar technology during meetings, he argued.

Mandel said he doesn’t carry a BlackBerry.[...]

Well, if he does not carry a BlackBerry he can’t know how much this nice device helps to keep up-to-date and be more productive!

Whrrl, the location-aware social networking and discovery service from Pelago, Inc., today announced mobile support for the new BlackBerry Bold. Users of the new Bold device now join the millions of BlackBerry Pearl, Curve, and 8800 users that have free unlimited access to the Whrrl experience.

At the nexus of social networking, local discovery and user-generated content, Whrrl combines mapping and micro-blogging technology into a new mobile medium for discovering and sharing local information about people, places, events and experiences. With integrated GPS, a vivid new display and enhanced performance capabilities the Bold is perfectly suited to deliver an exceptional experience for Whrrl users.

Whrrl shows users not just where friends are and what they’re doing now, but also where they have been and what their experiences were like in the past. By highlighting the places, events, and experiences of people most interesting to users, Whrrl creates a socially charged map of the physical world.

Whrrl goes beyond social networking and real-time friend finding by harnessing the experiences and opinions of the people users know best and applying a powerful recommendation algorithm to deliver a highly personalized discovery experience for the real world.

The Bold is the first BlackBerry smartphone to support tri-band HSDPA high-speed networks around the world and comes with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi®, as well as a rich set of multimedia capabilities.

“The device’s superior performance, stunning display, rich multimedia and powerful Wi-Fi and GPS make the new BlackBerry Bold an ideal match for the Whrrl service,” said Jeff Holden, CEO and co-founder of Pelago. “We’re extremely excited to introduce the Whrrl service to a new set of BlackBerry users, so many of whom are power users not just during the work day, but after hours, too.”

Currently, the Whrrl service is available nationally in the U.S. with an information database detailing millions of businesses and events across the country. Get Whrrl by visiting http://m.whrrl.com from your phone’s browser.

Author’s notes: Well, I don’t really get the updates that have been “especially” added for the BlackBerry Bold. RIM didn’t really change something that’s important for this here. Therefor, I think it is more a PR gag than a real functional change. Anyway, perhaps someone of you didn’t know of that service yet By the way: the Bold looks like the small brother behind the iPhone. It definitely undermines the Bold’s importance in the market.

P.S.: I gonna get my Bold soon!

Engadget just reported about the offical press release photos of the BlackBerry Storm by Verizon Wireless. Here are the images:

Just 2 days ago our German sister site reported about the new BlackBerry Storm coming to Vodafone Germany (which partly owns Verizon). So we guess the device must have been pushed by Vodafone to bring an iPhone competitor to the corporate market. It is quite obvious as there are just images from Verizon and Vodafone out there of the BlackBerry Storm. I am so excited about this device! Need to get it into my hands asap!

• On-Demand report sending.

After months of wrangling with Research In Motion to hand over its crypto keys, the country now claims to have attained the ability to snoop on some RIM users in that country.

The economic times is reporting that the government in India, specifically its Department of Telecommunication (DoT), Intelligence Bureau and security agency National Technical Research Organization (NTRO) have managed to run successful tests on the telecommunication networks of major service providers in that country to capture and decrypt both Blackberry phones, and messages sent from BlackBerry devices to other devices.

I don’t really believe what the Indian’s claim. What do you think?

I just got a hint from a friend of mine over at S4BB who leaked me an internal beta version of the TaskReports for BlackBerry program. This nice app is currently in free and open beta test and a new version is supposed to be released this week. That new version is gonna come with GTD support. We have talked about GTD and the BlackBerry a lot before. The best GTD application for your BlackBerry is NextAction! at the moment which comes from the same vendor; so they have a lot of experience in the field of GTD applications for BlackBerry devices.

The next version of TaskReports will provide an overview of your next actions and also integrates into existing GTD task databases on your BlackBerry like NextAction! is doing. Which actually means: you can analyse your NextAction! tasks respectively you can get a daily GTD report by email in a nice and fancy HTML layout. I made a screen shot of such a HTML report I sent myself with one of my BlackBerry devices. Check it out here:

Just found this on Reuters:

Research In Motion is preparing to launch the long anticipated touch-screen version of its BlackBerry smartphone, according to an official promotion e-mail from U.S. carrier Verizon Wireless.

The device will be known as the BlackBerry Storm 9530 and will feature “global capabilities”, Verizon said, without providing specifics. It also did not give an exact launch date, saying only that the smartphone is “coming soon”.
