So the case raises a vote on the users who do the most typing in suretype and multi-tap and some how it’s suretype. I have tried this out and it works like a charm, so why go qwerty when you have suretype on your phone and not having to deal with a tap here and tap there for each letter..

I have the 7100i from Nextel, and I LOVE IT. I was thinking about going to Sprint-Nextel with their new 8830 that hit the market a week ago, but decided that my nextel 7100i did enough for me, despite the nasty Uncaught .java.lang issues, which never seems to be a forgetful error.

I’ve been using suretype now for 1 day (wow go me) and so far it’s really easy. Typed up 2 paragraphs in less than one minute, I type fast of course.. I’m going to get my mom the 7100i through nextel as we use the devices to 2-way each other, we seem to be the only ones in the family that enjoy nextel.

I’m on my suretype right now sending a message, but noticed that it’s doing the first letter now when typing the correct wording for the sentence you’re typing up…so say you’re typing up “Hey how is it going” well the message pulls up “Hey how us ut” which is making me have to type it up again to force a fix for the letters, never had this problem until tonight.

However, we all know the trick to this little story, “Get a Custom Wordlist”. You can do this by pressing ALT+ENTER “The Arrow” key and then choose English (United States) or what your language is and it will load the list up for you…just now figured this out.

I have always wanted to know what my uptime was for my blackberry, though I have it set to auto on/off at 6am and 1am, so really this would be useless for me, but it does show your Vendor ID in which is also useful for those who want to use other themes on their devices. For Nextel mine is 103, so now you Nextel people will have some fun for editing your blackberry.alx file.

Ok so for those of you who leave your bb’s on ALL the time (be sure you turn your network off at least once a day to get network updates from your provider) this is VERY important for roaming and signal strength! Now for the trick: ALT+ EACE, simple huh? you will get a loaded screen display of your BB information, share this knowledge with your bb friends and family and let them enjoy it as well.

UPDATE: Just tried another trick in which doing some research about, and it’s basically when you type ALT+EACE and you’re on that screen you can type ZAML, and while on that screen it will display Radio Engineering Screen. This will show you Device Info, GPS, Log Info, Operational Info, Tunnel Mode, and View Channel Interleave.

This information can be used for numerous things, but it’s all up to you on what you do with it and how you use it to your ability.

AT&T has announced that TeleNav Traffic now has direct access to traffic information and rerouting services, offered initially on the BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry 8700c and the new BlackBerry Curve.

TeleNav Traffic alerts users through voice and on-screen prompts to traffic slowdowns and incidents along their programmed travel route. With just one click, customers can choose an alternative route or can remain on the original course. TeleNav Traffic calculates and provides an ongoing estimated time of arrival based on the customer’s current route and the latest traffic information. Subscribers can also view traffic information on a map and see details of surrounding traffic situations.

TeleNav Traffic is a feature of the latest version of TeleNav GPS Navigator™ and is offered as a free feature upgrade for TeleNav GPS Navigator subscribers. TeleNav GPS Navigator v5.1 also includes enhanced business listings, which identify more retailers and office parks. The TeleNav GPS Navigator now allows BlackBerry users to click addresses inside calendar invitations or contact lists for real-time navigation to that location.

AT&T customers can receive turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving directions with the award-winning TeleNav GPS Navigator service. TeleNav GPS Navigator can be used in vehicles or while walking and offers colorful 3-D moving maps. Other features of TeleNav GPS Navigator include:

- Voice and On-Screen Turn-by-Turn Directions. As they drive, users get up-to-the-minute guidance and will automatically be rerouted if they miss a turn. Users can also preview their routes before they begin driving and specify preferences, including highways and streets.
- Easy Address try. Customers can either type in the address on the phone, plan their trips online or even call in an address using the unique speech-recognition service integrated into TeleNav GPS Navigator. Speech recognition allows users the ability to quickly input an address if they are already behind the wheel.
- Biz Finder. Allows users to find businesses and services, ATMs, restaurants, hotels and gas stations and to navigate easily to them with the click of a button. Biz Finder also allows users to quickly look up and call the phone number for a business.
- Fuel Finder. Allows users to save money by finding the lowest gas prices in the area.
- Spot Marker. Helps users easily find their car wherever it is parked, such as in a large parking lot or on an unfamiliar downtown street.

The BlackBerry 8800 includes built-in GPS capability for added convenience. BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry 8700c and BlackBerry Curve users require a Bluetooth GPS Receiver accessory to activate GPS.

Today the FCC approved the first BlackBerry with Wi-Fi and cellular components together in one device. This BlackBerry, approved for GSM/EDGE 850/1900 in the U.S., looks similar in form to the 8800 and 8830 series from Research in Motion.

The Wi-Fi broadcasts in the 5.4 Ghz and 5.8 Ghz spectrum range as well as the 2.4 Ghz range, which marks it as 802.11a/b/g. It also has Bluetooth and a microSD slot. RIM’s CEO Jim Balsillie had recently mentioned that RIM would release a Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry by the end of 2007.
