Black Cherry technical

Reported by Rimarkable.

Helen Tuffy, Head of Consumer Data at Vodafone Australia says that “BlackBerry was once the workhorse of the pinstripe suit brigade, but look at how the handset has developed and matured; it’s gone from bulky designs to smooth, slim and full of tricks with gunmetal, chrome and titanium-look finishes. BlackBerry is now very sexy.”

The WildCharger, a sleek tray with a conductive surface, lets you charge compatible gadgets without the usual tangle of wires. Capable of delivering 15 watts of power, the wireless charging pad can charge four gadgets at a time. To charge a device, you first need to attach an adapter to its back cover. You then place the gadget on the tray, which transfers power to the adapter’s contact points and into your device. The charging tray costs $60. An adapter for the RAZR V3 phone is $35. Additional adapters for other gadgets, including the BlackBerry Pearl, the Apple iPod Nano and the Apple iPhone, are in the works.

“I’m not making this up. People are running out of their two-year contracts and they’re coming into the stores and they want to be able to do Facebook and they want to be able to do instant messaging and they want to be able to do e-mail and they ask for those features thinking that they’re going to get another flip phone and they’re walking out with a (BlackBerry) Curve or a Pearl because they’re the best devices for doing those kinds of activities.”
