With the advancement of BlackBerry handsets things have become quite easy for us. Now we find it quite easy to send and receive mails and messages from our BlackBerry. Most of the professionals and businessmen have to constantly remain in touch with their clients and colleagues through mails and messages.

For those who frequently use their BlackBerry for the purpose of sending and receiving mails have to put considerable amount of effort in doing so. For instance when we have to send almost common messages to our clients, then we have to spend some good time in formatting the mails individually. Each time we have to open the mail to copy the extract, or word, or the sentence from there, and then paste it individually in each mail. This takes a lot of time and energy as well. Same is the case with the template of an email, where you have to separately design the template for each email. So there has to be some solution for these problems, which can make things easier for the BlackBerry users. Therefore to cheer you up, Eclypse IT Solution has developed a solution, which is an application called Snippits v 1.0.0.

What it does?

Snippits v 1.0.0 is a BlackBerry application developed by the Eclypse IT Solution. The application allows a user to save any editable text from the mails, messages, etc. You can now save the common extracts, and words and can use then quickly anytime and anywhere. You can take them as a note or as memos, in calendars, and many more. You just have to position the cursor over the place from where you want to copy the text and paste it else where. Once you have saved the texts, you can use it quickly where ever you need it.

Features:

The BlackBerry application from Eclypse IT solution is packed with many useful features. The application is very easy to use and is compatible with the Touch screen and the Non-touch screen as well. It is compatible with BlackBerry OS 4.2 or higher. You can access the application right from the system menu of your BlackBerry handset, from where you can have complete access to the application’s menu. Just by positioning the cursor you can save the editable text, it can be from an email, memos, documents, messages, events and many more. Now you can use multiple email or sms signature and can use them according to your needs. The application will enable you to categorize the templates, which will help you to organize the files in your Blackberry in a better way. The application can be downloaded easily for $3.95.

Research In Motion(RIM) has announced that Digital China, a Hong Kong based company will distribute their BlackBerry handsets in China. This deal will help in increasing the sales of BlackBerry phones in Mainland China. It was also announced that RIM will work in tandem with Chinese Telecom giants, China Mobile to provide services to the middle and small user. These two deals will ensure that the sale of BlackBerry ’smartphones’ will increase in the country. This decision comes amidst a time when the smartphone market is expanding in China and a spurt of iPhone sale had been seen.

The China Mobile and RIM cooperation deal was announced on Tuesday and includes plans to support China’s indigenous TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE technologies for BlackBerry phones in China. TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) is a technology on the lines of 3G and has been largely developed in China and is the mode used by China Mobile. The two have been working together for some time and now RIM will develop a new version of its BlackBerry handset that supports China’s homegrown 3G standard.

China Mobile is the world’s biggest phone carrier with terms to subscriber and has provided BlackBerry services in China since 2006. But with a reach limited to bigger corporates, the new deal will help in reaching to other segments of the small scale businesses. The Chinese handset market is estimated to be 650 Million and tapping in to the mid-wrung as well as smaller user will be a huge step for RIM and China Mobile. The latter will start this new service from next year and offer Chinese BlackBerry users access to multiple POP3/IMAP e-mail accounts.

Inking a double boost for BlackBerry, the Digital China collaboration will help in selling BlackBerry handsets in Mainland China. Digital China has a huge national network and selling the handsets through them will help in increasing the BlackBerry market share.

Technology is progressing day by day, so as the human needs. In order to satisfy its customers, Black Berry is providing all the facilities that it can. In recent times, the BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion (RIM) started delivering its brand new mobile operating system (OS) which is popularly known as BlackBerry handheld OS 5.0.

This newly developed software provides a variety of cool new features and enhancements which includes improved-mail folder management options, auto-correct and word completion typing software and a number of personal information management (PIM) feature enhancements. On the other hand, BlackBerry Enterprise Server BES 5.0 is required, to use some other new features.

One of the best features in the new addition found in BlackBerry OS 5.0 is The Message Flag Feature. This is because, BlackBerry Message Flags let users quickly assign “flags” to message for follow-up reminders, and each of these individual flag can be customized based on specific message needs. For an instance, a quick flag reminder can be assigned to an e-mail message to make sure that you can answer to all the message receipts and not just the sender. Apart from this, the other flag types allows you to set “due-dates” for message responses, entirely with pop-up alerts to make sure that you see the reminders.

In order to have access to the BlackBerry Message Flags which is new to BlackBerry OS 5.0, you need to employ one of RIM’s latest devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9700 or Storm2. Other than this, there are certain functions which will work if you are on a compatible BES. In spite of this RIM has already started updating BlackBerry software for older versions to 5.0. Verizon Wireless recently shipped Black Berry software 5.0 for the original BlackBerry Storm 95xx.

You can also verify through RIM’s official list of BlackBerry smart phones that will get OS 5.0 to check if your smart phone is next in line for the update. If your device isn’t scheduled for updating BlackBerry OS 5.0 very soon then you can download a third-party option from RIM’s BlackBerry App World software store which is popularly known as Flag Your E-Mails for $2.99. This apps can’t do everything that the native flags feature offers, but it has all the basic functionality.

You can also check a related BlackBerry tutorial on using folders to “unclutter” your RIM Smartphone. The simplest method to utilize the new e-mail message flags in Black Berry handheld OS 5.0 is to assign a flag to a message that you have received to remind yourself of something. For an instance, you can flag a message from your spouse requesting you to pick up a gallon of milk on way home from the office. In order to make sure that you remember the grocery store, you can program your device to remind you right at 5PM.
You should always remember that the BlackBerry E-Mail Flags only deals with e-mail messages, i.e., by using the default e-mail flags featured in BlackBerry OS 5.0, you cannot flag PIN, SMS/MMS or any other sort of messages.

You may have always desired to have all the latest applications on your phone and relish the various facilities. Blackberry is such a device which can fulfill your every fantasy of mobile appliance and comes in the market with all modern features. Blackberry handsets have earned so much reputation in the recent times because of their sole features and reflective usages.

Vlingo Corporation has released new data on teen driver distractions and texting features on top of it. The second annual Vlingo Consumer Mobile Messaging Habits Report was released at the start of National Teen Driver Safety Week to be observed from October 18- 24. The primary finding according to the report was that 60% of the teens surveyed admitted to reading incoming text messages while driving.

Some findings:

94 percent of teens use their mobile phones to send text messages.
54 percent send more than 500 text messages per month.
79 percent send more text messages than make phone calls.
72 percent teens use text messaging only to communicate with friends.
60% of the teens surveyed admitted to reading incoming text messages while driving.
Only 40% teens are aware of the ban on texting while driving in their state.
Only 9 states have a driving while texting for teenagers ban in the USA.( Sept 2009)

But the encouraging factor in that 62 percent of teens supported making driving while texting (DWT) illegal. But when given the option of the handsfree, only 32 percent favored making it illegal. Another 90 percent said that if there was a technology/software that helped them read their incoming messages aloud and type messages as they spoke while driving, then they would opt for the same.

On this, Dave Grannan, CEO of Vlingo, added that it was a good sign that the teens were willing to use newer technologies to make driving safer. The report had also done a survey of the number of states that had a DWT/mobile phone while driving ban. The findings were that two of the top five worst states including TN, NJ, AL, ID, OK had such a law in place. And the best five states which include AZ, VT, RI, OH, MI, only Rhode Island has a law on DWT for those under 18.

The survey was conducted amongst 4816 online members above the age of 13.
