BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) Best Practices: Six Tips
Feb 4, 2010 Tips & Tricks
I came across this little doozy of gem online on the CIO website. Al Sacco covers six good tips about using the BBM on your device that you might not have considered. Perhaps my favorite is the “Do not abuse the broadcast message feature”.
I was surprised to see the part about not broadcasting your PIN on public forums like twitter and FB, as thats a common way to hook up with your friends, but he does have a good point. Its all about keeping the spam down (much like you don’t post your full email address in public either). Anyway, take a look at the Post and let me know if you have anything you’d like to add to the list.

Read the rest of this entry » There comes a time in every blackberry users life when he (or she) needs to release their pin so it can go live on a farm somewhere nice with other released pins or more accurately, so they can resell their device and let the pin go too. Most of the time, users are forced to deal with their carrier and have to wait for the carrier’s drones to do it for you. Not any more. I’m going to show you how to do it in less then five minutes as long as you have a device with an available pin (or no device at all?).
