The Top 5 RIM BlackBerry Signatures

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under Technology 

BlackBerrysWith all of this talk about location services with the iPhone, and the pending “me too” launch of RIM’s Thunder/Storm product - I thought it prudent that RIM invest in some similar services, and even partner with leaders in other industries to co-brand a wonderful set of tools.

Think about combining location services, like GPS, with the raw e-mail potential BlackBerry is so good at.

And so, the top 5 BlackBerry signature services were born:

  • 5. DriveBerry: A factory-installed, directional system optional with 2010 GM Hummers where you can control the movements of the vehicle directly from your BlackBerry handheld. *only available on the AT&T network and in major markets. Subject to terms and conditions.
  • 4. QWERTY-FISH: Click Here to receive a text message translating what I just typed in this e-mail: A service provided in conjunction with Yahoo! BABEL FISH.
  • 3. SpeedBump: I’ve hit ‘X’ number of pedestrians while trying to find the exclamation point: A new service in partnership with Rockstar Games: Makers of Grand Theft Auto IV
  • 2. CrackTrap: Current speed while typing this e-mail is ‘X’ mph: A service provided by your friendly California Highway Patrol (CHP) Traffic and Safety Division.

… and the number 1 BlackBerry Signature Service is:

  • Crack-cident: Now going on X days without an accident: A free signature service provide by your friendly insurance company.

    • A little disclaimer...

      In this day and age, people don't seem to get that you can have an opinion of your own, and that people are entitled to a responsible opinion. As such, ChangeForge is a place for me to post opinions on various things relating to business and technology. These opinions are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of respective employers, co-workers, or those referenced within this site. If you take issue with these opinions, you are most welcome to move on to another slice of the cloud. My hope, however, is that you will engage in some level of an intellectual debate in an effort to learn something, teach me something, or simply make the world just a little better...
