We all are aware of how much Jim Balsillie, Co CEO of RIM, loves his hockey. This isn’t about him though, it’s a quick moment of hockey and BlackBerry. I saw the picture from Deadspin and it features a hockey loving BlackBerry user in the background. The pic is from a Chicago Blackhawks and LA Kings game with a fight, and it’s a reminder of how we love using our BlackBerry to catch those moments.
You can read more about it from the Deadspin website here.

Much to the dismay of many folks out there, our beloved BlackBerry Bold 9000 devices will never see a build of BlackBerry 6 for them. But, that doesn’t mean OS development for the caddy of BlackBerry devices has stopped, in fact it’s still very much alive. The most recent official OS for the Bold 9000 was 5.0.0.900 but thanks to this leak we can now check out 5.0.0.1036. Back up your data folks, this is a leaked OS and as such is untested.
*OS Disclaimer – Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you’re comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. *

Take a look at your calendar, the countdown to Christmas has begun! Black Friday shopping probably has many of you off to a good start on your gift buying, so to make the rest of it go more smoothly and ensure you don’t blow the budget this holiday season, I suggest you check out this new BlackBerry app, Christmas Budget.
In the mad dash during this time of year, some people may lose their heads. They may also lose themselves in a spending frenzy. Your budget may be blown and Uncle Ned will end up getting a cheap pair of socks…again. If I could briefly resurrect an old Canadian Tire slogan, the app will help you “Give like Santa, save like Scrooge”. You can manage shopping lists for individuals and groups, and make certain you stay within your budget. Of course I don’t mind if you want to splurge a bit on my gift.
Features
The application can even track what you need to buy, or wrap, or even send. To add to the holiday chaos, the Christmas Budget includes a Christmas countdown feature. I’d rather have a chocolate Advent calendar to remind me, thank you. You can pick up Christmas Budget for $2.99 from the NHCBBA App Store.
