How to set up email on BlackBerry
Category: Devices Sub Category: Mobile
We all know how to use the email service on a BlackBerry device but configuring the email account is a bit tricky.
Either people run to the IT guys or call the customer care who explains the whole process in a manner which is perhaps incomprehensible for most of us.
However, configuring an email on a BlackBerry device is quite simple only if you know what to do and when. So here we have tried to decode the whole process in simplest of words so that next time you know how to do it.
Before proceeding, please make sure that you have a basic BlackBerry plan activated for your device as this service does not work on regular GPRS connection.

iPhone 3GS supply tightens ahead of likely discontinuation this fall
Update: A tipster at an Orange UK store in London has let us know that the carrier has told employees that the iPhone 3GS is no longer available. See image above.
Although it seems likely that Apple will soon discontinue its legacy iPhone 3GS, some reports have said that Apple will retain the device as its cost-effective pre-paid option. Others, including us, have reported that Apple is preparing two next-generation iPhones for this fall: one as the successor to the iPhone 4 and one as a cheaper, possibly pre-paid model.

What is the difference between the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS?

The iPhone has been the most sought after mobile phone with each release since the first version way back in 2007. However back then getting your hands on one would cost you an arm and a leg. Fortunately, nowadays, it is quite easy to get one, easy in the sense of availability in several shops and not necessarily the price. An iPhone shall still cost a lot for the average person. In 2008, Apple released the second iPhone called the iPhone 3G and later in 2009 they did release the iPhone 3GS. Currently, the iPhone 4 released in 2010 is the reigning champ soon to be replaced with the rumoured iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S.

Good morning, We were fortunate enough to get an article done about SmartPhone Medic ran in the business section of The State newspaper today. Ms. Rupon came to our new location, at 902 Harden Street, a couple of days ago and sat down with us to get some info about our business and how we help our customers. We would like to thank her and the photographer for taking the time out to do this. The entire article is posted below but if you would like to go directly to the article click here: http://bit.ly/bYVFXK Posted on Fri, Oct. 22, 2010 Do you really have to spend another $500 on a new one? Probably not. The chances are good SmartPhone Medic can fix it. The Columbia store has been fixing high-tech — and high-priced — Blackberries, iPhones and Droids for about a year out of a small office on Pickens Street. Last month, it moved into a storefront at 902 Harden St. in Five Points — across from the new Chick-fil-A — to become more visible, said Robby Reaser, who owns the business with Demetril O’Neal and Cubby Culbertson. A heads up: Don’t be thrown off when you walk in; it shares space with a furniture store. And if they can’t fix your phone, they won’t charge you, the owners said. As people have come to rely more heavily on phones for on-the-go Internet and e-mail access and constant communication, more repair stores have been popping up in recent years nationwide. “We cater to addicts,” said Culbertson, known for counseling Gov. Mark Sanford and his now ex-wife, Jenny. “People have to have their phones. We can usually fix it the same day.” Five years ago, only about 10 percent of cell phones in use were smart phones, said Kent Sutcliffe, one of two technicians employed by the company. Now, about 80 percent are, he said. The most common repair by far is replacing a cracked screen, Reaser said. Glass touch screens are delicate and can break easily if the phone is dropped, particularly if it drops face-down, he said. “That’s the death drop,” O’Neal said. But the store can replace cracked covers, usually in an hour, for from $84 to $175, he said. Customers are relieved when they get their phones back, O’Neal said, because the phone contains so much vital information – like, in one case, a girl’s phone number. Culbertson said one customer brought a phone in desperate to get it fixed so he could retrieve the number of a girl he met just before he dropped his phone in the water. The store fixed the phone, and the guy got the number. Water damage repair usually runs between $60 and $109. Saltwater damage often is fatal for a phone, but data can sometimes be retrieved. Another customer brought a phone in that had been run over by an 18-wheeler after it slipped out of his pocket. It was in a hard case, and the store fixed it for around $120. The store also was able to repair a phone that sat in the lake for nine months, Culbertson said. The owner found it when the water was drawn down for a pier repair. “It’s just incredible the things that can happen to a phone,” Culbertson said. The store also repairs iPods and iPads. Reaser, who started the store when he broke his own phone and couldn’t find anybody to fix it, said he eventually would like to expand the SmartPhone Medic brand throughout the state and the Southeast. He is now certified in cell phone repair. And he plans to start an e-commerce site that will allow customers to easily mail in their phones for repair. More openings • Welcome to Moe’s.
