Just Got My Rogers Wireless RIMM BlackBerry Curve 8310 With GPS Feature From My Company

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Just like any other mobile tech worker out there, my company needs me to be accessable at all times. So several days ago, my BlackBerry Curve 8310 finally arrived. What is great about the BlackBerry 8310 Curve is that it is the smallest BlackBerry of the bunch that offers a QWERTY keyboard, so it fits nicely in my pocket or feel less bulky on my belt. Also when I talk with it, it doesn’t look like I am talking into a brick like the BlackBerry Pearl which is bigger.

My Beef With Windows Vista After 6 Months Of Using The Operating System

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Microsoft Windows Vista logo, reviewBack in late August of last year I purchased an Acer Aspire 3680 – 2682 laptop from Walmart in southern California which came with Windows Vista Home.
