Now here’s a different method of making new BBM friends.  Imagine going out to the bar, and someone scans your shirt to get you on BBM rather than approaching you to talk.  Pretty crazy idea, and hopefully that’s not what socializing will evolve to.  BBMShirts.com provides shirts customized with your BBM barcode so anyone can walk up to you and scan it.  Warning, this is not a good idea for those who are constantly changing BlackBerry devices like myself.  There’s two different designs – one that just shows your BBM pin barcode and the other with your BBM pin barcode in a chat bubble that says “PING Me Baby” like the hit song.  Check them out and maybe you’ll want one for yourself.

StarTech is a lead provider of connectors for everything technology related.  In this case we take a look at a USB cable they make which has both micro and mini USB ends.  This may not be savvy for everyone, but in my case I have some devices that connect to my computer via mini USB and of course my BlackBerry smartphone connects through micro.

Before the OtterBox cases for the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 were listed as coming soon but now it looks like they are available.  All three famous grades are available – Impact, Commuter, and Defender.  Impact is for those seeking a slim one layer rubberized cover for their BlackBerry beating all those cheapo silicone ones on the market.  Then there’s the Commuter series which has grown to become the most popular one giving the best of both worlds.  You get a slim fit, and lots of protection through two full layers, one being a rubber material, and the other being a hard shell plastic.  The Defender is the bad ass of them all providing the maximum amount of protecting you possibly can.  With the Defender you get three layers and a rather bulky case which seems to be targeted more towards those in construction or might just drop their BlackBerry a lot!

Either way, you can start your BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 OtterBox orders as early as today!

It’s August already and we’re really crossing our fingers for an official launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930.  RIM officially announced the device back at BlackBerry World in May.  At the time we got to see a few OEM accessories lined up for the device including skins, holsters, and leather pocket cases as seen above.

RIM has gone ahead and put up the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 leather pocket case up in the official BlackBerry Store.  You can’t purchase it yet as it appears out of stock, but it’s there.  Now all we need is a launch date!
