New Google Sync for Blackberry - Now with Contact Sync

For those to you who are Blackberry AND Google fans like myself - We have just gotten an early Christmas present.

Google’s Mobile Team just released a new version of Sync which will now also synchronize your Contacts as well as Calendar between your BB and Google account.

Go learn more and grab it from this link.  The new version is 0.5.9.

Thanks to the guys at the Google Mobile team.  More and more each day, you guys are making the blackberry experience inch closer to that of a mini netbook.

It’s too bad they have not released the Voice Search feature that is now in the iPhone version.

For those of you with a smartphone but don’t know what the fart I am talking about - Go to this link and enjoy productivity bliss.

RIM & Verizon’s iPhone Fighter - Blackberry Storm details released

Here is the low down:

Available on 11/21/08 @ Verizon

Price: $199 w/ 2 year contract

For more information on the handset, check out the spec sheet.

Looks like a viable iPhone competitor to me.  Then again, I have always been more of a blackberry fan due to its great keyboards.  Whether or not the Storm’s virtual keyboard is any better than iPhone’s — guess we’ll find out on the 21st.  ;-p
