Before I get busy for the day I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I’m ready to relax with friends, family and of course, plenty of good eats. If you’re traveling today be careful on the roads and on those flights since today is one of the busiest days of the year for travelers. If you’re looking for apps to help while you drive check out Google Maps Mobile, Telenav (premium), BlackBerry Maps and BlackBerry Traffic or if you’re flying, I highly recommend BlackBerry Travel.

Once again be safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Another year has come and gone with both good times and bad, hopefully more good . RIM had a bunch of great launches and announcements this year and I know they’ve got more planned for us BlackBerry fans in 2011. The first ever BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will launch in early 2011 and I’m sure RIM has a bunch of other goodies on the way. Keep checking BBRocks! as we’ll bring you all the news as it happens!

As for tonight’s occasion, whether you’re out partying or staying in and relaxing into 2011, be safe, have a great weekend and Happy New Year from BlackBerryRocks.com!

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from BlackBerryRocks.com! Even if you don’t celebrate this holiday I’m sure you have something you’re thankful for whether it’s family, friends, pets, jobs or even your BlackBerry and if you do, all the same. Be safe, have a great holiday and enjoy that turkey!

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween from BlackBerryRocks.com! If you haven’t tried it yet, be sure to turn yourself into a zombie with the Make Me Zombie website. After you’ve made a Zombie avatar you can save it as your profile pic on BBM, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. Check it out at makemezombie.com and have a safe rest of the weekend!

Barack Obama was the talk of the BlackBerry town for some time while he was running for President and during the first few months of office. The BrickBreaker playing President now says, since only 10 people are authorized to email his device, it is “no fun.” That doesn’t sound fun at all when you consider how many of us have of lots of BBM friends and chat through other instant messaging apps as well.

The president said that only 10 people have the address of the BlackBerry he was issued, and the conversation is a bit stilted because messages will likely be archived along with all other White House documents.

“I’ve got to admit, it’s no fun because they think that it’s probably going to be subject to the presidential records act, so nobody wants to send me the real juicy stuff,” Obama said on ABC’s “The View.”

“It’s all very official. ‘Mr. President, you have a meeting coming up and we’d like to brief you.’”

I guess you can’t have your cake and eat it too, even as the President of the United States. Since Obama can’t really talk to many people on his BlackBerry he should probably just rack up on games and other entertainment software from the BBRocks! Store.

Quite some time ago I posted about how musical  rock star Slash used his BlackBerry to write his book. Today I came across an article on Us Magazine where musical rap star Drake (full name Aubrey Drake Graham) talks about how he loves and depends on his BlackBerry when writing his raps:

All his raps are written on a BlackBerry, if we don’t have a BlackBerry we gotta borrow one or find one somewhere!

The BlackBerry keys…my thumbs were made for touching them!

Talk about an endorsement! You can check out Drake on his BlackBerry in the video above, courtesy of MTV. If you know of any other musically inclined celebrities who use their BlackBerry like Drake does feel free to share!

Master Lego builder Nathan Sawaya is definitely on to something here. As you can see in the photo above, Sawaya built a five-foot tall Verizon BlackBerry Tour complete with a TV as the screen for displaying video. The first thing that popped in my head when I saw this photo was how awesome a big screen TV in the form of a horizontal Storm would be on my wall .

When I saw this video up on The Washington Post I had to share it because I can relate in so many ways as the BlackBerry user. Here’s the video’s official description:

The Washington Post’s Michael Rosenwald and his wife, Megan Wollman-Rosenwald, a self-professed “BlackBerry widow,” discuss how the allure of the handheld device can put stress on a relationship. (CNBC)

I admit that I’m constantly checking my BlackBerry and it’s pointed out sometimes, but I don’t think it puts a serious enough pressure on relationships. Unless of course the behavior becomes disruptive as some sort of disorder, which isn’t uncommon in terms of technology dependence.
