I found out about Facebook and RIM's new Blackberry app before I read about it because I was given the option to download it when I checked Facebook on my Berry through the web browser.  Alas and alack, my joy was short lived because Telus, in it's infinite wisdom is blocking the app from being downloaded and installed.

Quote:

Also today, Research In Motion announced it is rolling out Facebook software for its BlackBerry, another data-intensive application. Judging by the way some people use Crackbook, as one wag I know calls it, this could bankrupt Canadian Facebook addicts. So it's not surprising that RIM's first customer for the service is T-Mobile USA, not a Canadian company. Source: globeandmail.com: Kapica's Cyberia - Will easy data plans sell cellphones?


The quote from Jack Kapica is from a larger article about Nokia's plan to get more people to buy (or upgrade) cell phones with better data plans.  Something Canadians would surely welcome.

Facebook on your Berry ... that's awesome.  Pity I can't use it.

For more on this check out Marketwatch and Alex Saunders' blog.

Only semi-unrelated to this is that RIM is now the largest company (by market valuation) in Canada.
