			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While many of the BlackBerry models out there are arguably more capable than Apple&#8217;s iPhone (i.e. GPS integration, not locked to AT&amp;T, etc.), most would agree that the iPhone user interface is a bit more slick. The <a href="http://rogersmj.com/tech/blackberry/bphone/">bPhone theme</a> for BlackBerry lets you have your cake and eat it too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/bphone_blackberry.jpg" alt="bPhone Theme for Blackberry" /></p>
<p>The theme installs on BlackBerry 8700, Pearl, Curve and 8800 models, assuming you have at least OS 4.2.1 installed.</p>
<p>While the icons and interface aren&#8217;t identical to those on the iPhone, they&#8217;re similar enough to give you the same general look and feel. Even the battery and signal strength indicators are stylized versions of the iPhone UI elements. For areas where there wasn&#8217;t a clear parallel between iPhone and BlackBerry Mac OS X design standards were used (like using a beachball for the &#8220;busy&#8221; indicator).</p>
<p>Sorry, no multi-touch display or motion sensor is included.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Research in Motion today announced their latest smartphone model, the <a href="http://www.blackberry8800.com/">BlackBerry 8800</a>. The new model adds <a href="http://www.blackberry8800.com/newfeatures.jsp">numerous features</a> including GPS tracking, expandable memory, and a long-lasting battery.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/blackberry_8800_2.jpg" alt="BlackBerry 8800" /></p>
<p align="left">The 8800 is a full quad-band GSM/EDGE phone, and lifts many of the features found in the popular BlackBerry Pearl model, such as its well-received trackball navigation. The phone has a solid 320 x 240 pixel color display with light sensing technology to automatically adjust screen brightness depending on ambient light levels.</p>
<p align="left">Since the 8800 has added both media player software and expandable memory via an SD slot, it has the potential to be your primary media player now. Built-in GPS and mapping features are also included.The 8800 also features enhanced battery life, with a standby time of 22 days and talk time of 5 hours. As is the case with other full-sized BlackBerries, this one also has the standard full QWERTY keyboard, push/pull e-mail, web browsing, calendar and contact management capabilities.</p>
<p align="left">The BlackBerry 8800 should be available from major carriers (Cingular/AT&amp;T for sure) later this month, but pricing has not been announced yet.</p>
