BlackBerry App World Available in South Africa

The second most important announcement for South Africa after FIFA World Cup 2010

In the rest of the world (outside Canada and the U.S.), soccer seems to be an incredibly popular sport.  As a North American, I don't understand any game played without a large amount of protective gear and cheerleaders, so you'll have to excuse me for my ignorance. David Beckham?  He plays soccer, right?  He's married to Posh Spice.  That's about all I know.  

ANYWAY - South Africa is hosting the FIFA World Cup 2010 in 9 host cities, and one great way to keep track of how your team is doing is by using ScoreMobile - available today in BlackBerry App World™!

"But Alex, BlackBerry App World isn't available in South Africa."  SURPRISE - it is available now!  Visit http://worldwide.blackberry.com/za/appworld today to download BlackBerry App World to your BlackBerry® smartphone.   

We're really happy to announce another launch and we'll continue to bring BlackBerry App World to every country where BlackBerry smartphones are available.

BlackBerry Theme Studio v5.0 - Build your own BlackBerry Theme!

By Mark R., posted November 12, 2009 5:21 PM
BlackBerry Storm2

If you've been a BlackBerry® smartphone user for awhile, you've likely come across BlackBerry themes.  BlackBerry themes change the way your BlackBerry smartphone home screen looks: from the background image to the icon and cursor style. Some BlackBerry themes also feature animations and a completely unique home screen experience.

Did you know that you can make your own BlackBerry theme? What's better, the newly released BlackBerry® Theme Studio 5.0 makes it pretty easy to customize your BlackBerry smartphone with a unique theme. All you need is a bit of creativity and some skills with graphics software like Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe After Effects® or BlackBerry® Composer.

Today I'm going to walk you through the main interface of BlackBerry Theme Studio 5.0 and in a future post we'll go step-by-step through the building process. Let's get started!

Hello world! My name is Alex M. and I'm a Security Product Manager at Research In Motion (RIM). My job is to make sure that folks like you and me are safe when we use a BlackBerry® smartphone. What do I mean by "safe"? Security is about letting the good guys in and keeping the bad guys out. Sounds simple, right? Just don't tell that to my boss. =D

BlackBerry smartphones come with a huge set of built-in security features, but how do we use them and what do they really do? Those are the questions I'll be trying to answer with every post. Let's start from the beginning: protecting your personal information.
