This morning, Verizon Wireless debuts a Data Technical Support site that's about 5,000 times better than the jumbled and too-disassociated help resource that they offered before.
The new site has separate sections for most handhelds offered with Verizon Wireless service. BlackBerry section? Natch.
Take for example the BlackBerry 7750 section. It is organized into six basic sub-sections, including Top FAQs, Blackberry (general questions), Verizon access questions, text messaging issues, Advanced Help,and Downloads.
The Verizon Wireless Data Technical Support resource also has sections for the BlackBerry 7250 (shown at right) and the BlackBerry 6750.
The quite entreprenureal Tom Glogowski is founder, owner and administrator of BlackBerry Forums.com, one of the more vibrant and library BlackBerry user communities on the Web.
Tom is not one of those folks who hands out garlands gratuitously. When he recommends a BlackBerry-related product, his endorsement carries considerable credibility.
That's why I've taken the time to refer you to his post endorsing Speck Products' $34.95 Skin Tight case and holster for the BlackBerry.
Yes, I know, I have noted the product before, but Tom's review adds more than a dozen photos of Skin Tight (pun alert!) on the case, and points out that the case fits snugly enough not to allow any dirt to build up on the BlackBerry.
That would be a total of 10 BlackBerry models adaptable to Skin Tight cases: the 6230, 6750, 7100t, 7100r, 7230, 7250, 7280, 7290, 7510 and 7520.
He notes that the case includes a magnet to turn your screen off, or to switch on your BlackBerry's "in holster" settings.
When I went there today, the second-most viewed item was a collection of "Favorite Shortcuts" tips.
There are tips for various keys and key combinations that allow for quick switching between apps, assigning a Speed Dial to a letter, applying bookmarks, as well as multiply or divide two numbers.
You probably already know some of these shortcuts. But could it be that you"don't know what you don't know?"
The problem seems to be attributable to OS 4.0's status as somewhat of a memory hog. When you talk memory hog, you are talking about a drain on available space.
To diagnose the problem, go to Options and then choose the Status menu. In Status, you should have at least 50-100kb of available space.. If you have
less you should consider removing unused applications.
As one who is big on headsets for all my mobile devices, I was curious to see what was being offered. Curiously, there's only one headset - a lightweight $13.99 branded BlackBerry Headset with a miniature clip that keeps the cord in place.
If you've ever dangled headphone cords, you'll want such a clip.
Much more important, this Headset works with just about every BlackBerry on the market.

You might want to try out ClockLabs' brand new PocketMetro 2.1. It has a built-in mapping function and trip-time calculator for the subway system in each of these cities.
The coolest thing about PocketMetro: when you install it on your BlackBerry, its entire database for the city you purchase "lives" on your device. That way, you don't have to hope for a signal before you access the function. That in-device capability is especially welcome considering that acquiring a wireless signal can be somewhat problematic in the subway.
PocketMetro 2.1 is compatible with most BlackBerry models. It costs $19.99 per city, and is available via download right here.
