I’ve been using the Blackberry Curve 8520 on T-Mobile here in the USA on and off for a few weeks now.  I see how and why so many business people are such huge Blackberry fans.  My family and friends call me a power emailer so [...]

One of my favorite mobile related companies, Emoze, just became a client so I’m going to write a few posts about them, this being the first.  I like them for a few reasons.  First they took the less-then-desirable, built-in Nokia email application and turned it into something quite nice.  I’m sure that wasn’t an easy [...]
