RIM, This Is Downright Rude

New software is available for your BlackBerry Curve 8320 smartphone. This software offers the following improvements and new functionality: improved UMA and data performance*, video recording (requires microSD cards)**, HTML email viewing, attachment editing and more. From your PC go to www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade to take advantage of this free software (emphasis added).

When I bought my phone in fall 2007, I was blissfully unaware that there is no upgrade software for the Mac, and I naïvely assumed RIM would get around to making some. But no. RIM, where is the love?

* I use data features heavily and use the UMA to talk at home via wi-fi.
** Video recording! Want it.

Hi, I'm Robbie Mitchell.
I live in NYC, work at Knewton, and co-founded a sweet educational rap company.

I obsess about data analysis and minor progressions.
