How long to service a BlackBerry?

It’s been more than a year and a half since my BlackBerry’s pearl conked out and I’ve already weathered through 3 phones. I had the unit sent back to RIM last year as this is apparently the only solution to servicing the unit. I was warned that it would take at least 6 months. It’s been much more than that. Not that I’m really complaining. I think it’s owed to the fact that I easily found a replacement unit. Nonetheless I’d like to get your insights on the matter: how long did it take to service your BlackBerry? Do tell me where you’re from as this really does affect the time table of service.

PhoneFace makes dialing easier

Out for the BlackBerry and now for the Android OS, PhoneFace makes dialing a visual treat by turning your phonebook into a photo album. It is easier to recognize faces rather than names at times so this is what PhoneFace capitalizes on. You can scroll through the faces of often called contacts and once you click on their face, you can choose to dial their home or cell number. What’s also cool — PhoneFace allows you to download photos of your friends from Facebook.
The app is rather cheap at $0.99 and makes phonebook browsing worth it.

Interesting. Nokia sent over some PR material listing the 16 reasons why the Nokia E71 is a winner. Well, I won’t post all 16 but here are some notable mentions:
- Recently voted by a panel of judges for the 2009 Mobile Innovation Global Awards held in Barcelona, Spain as one of the GSMA’s best handsets of 2009.
- Device lock, device and memory card encryption, remote device management ensures your precious data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands even if your phone does.
- Setting up webmail and corporate email only takes 5 clicks with the Nokia email wizard.
The Nokia E71 is a true beauty - I won’t hesitate to say that it is one of Nokia’s best phones ever made. Sad though that they didn’t include BlackBerry support for this one.
The two photos above are creative representations of the Nokia E71 man and woman — stylish and chic.
