What do y'all want to know about? What should I talk about here?

Sorry for the hiatus for the past week or so. Lots of good things happening at work keeping me busy, and rather than me going home for the weekend my wife came to town and we had a mini vacation.

Regular posts to resume tomorrow of this abbreviated week

... yes it works with BES (BPS too). While we haven't seen an official update from RIM in the compatibility matrix there are some updates (as of August 28, 2009); give it a read.

I'm usually all about server stuff ... this one just isn't. Yes, really, Benny Chow saves the day! Currently I'm using a BlackBerry Bold; I still think it is the best BlackBerry on the market. Prior to the 9000 I was using an 8320 on T-Mobile ... loved my UMA ... hated my deads spots.

I got over the lack of UMA ... but I never got over Pacman being tiny on the beautiful Bold screen ... well the wait is over!

RIM is on a roll lately ... lots of KB articles posted, and a few that I have really liked.

I actually saw a few questions on this recently, so here's a pair for those with Address Book synchronization issues: KB12422 - How to troubleshoot general Address Book synchronization issues and KB10594 - Wireless Synchronization option is missing for the Address Book, MemoPad, Tasks, and Calendar applications.

I gotta say, I'm really impressed with the Developer's Blog at Inside BlackBerry. So, make sure you've added it to your RSS feeds if you haven't already, and give this a read: How-to Set up a Lightning Fast BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator.

Simulators are great for testing, and for seeing what a new OS / device looks like without having to actually procure a device. Sure it isn't as fun, but when your hands are tied ... the price is right.
