This is a much better update compared to the last one (1.5)
Overall, the UI is much better, you can actually write on your friends' walls, has a better picture viewer, and a few more features.

Added App World to the APPS page. Visit http://mobile.blackberry.com/ from your mobile browser. App World is basically an Application Store for your BlackBerry. So far, this is the best way I've found to get applications for your phone. |

Added Google Mobile to the APPS page.

Starting with the Curve 8520, RIM has started installing an optical trackpad on all new BlackBerry devices. The new technology should allow for easier browsing and scrolling. But for those of us who have older BlackBerry models, and plan to stick with them, we still face the issue of a trackball. Introduced in 2006 with the BlackBerry Pearl, the trackball made it onto every sub... |

So I did what most BlackBerry geeks would do: I pulled the battery... |

It makes contacting someone a bit easier. For instance, if someone has an away message up on AIM, I know it’s probably not a good idea to mes... |

There’s plenty of news this week about new BlackBerry devices, but to kick things off I want to highlight a story that seemed small at first, but grew as word spread throughout the week. T-Mobile has agreed to carry BlackBerry Mobile Voice Systems, a two-year-old platform that allows companies to reroute desk calls to a user’s BlackBerry. This ties in with T-Mobile’s ... |
