Well,  genuises at Generation Media Group, have come out with a superdee duperdee way to cross an Executor keychain with a  Blackberry and have come out with bbExecutioner, arguably the best BlackBerry application ever developed…

that crosses an Executor keychain with a BlackBerry.

You can pick up bbExecutioner for just $0.99 in the RIMarkable Store through July 31st.  If you aren’t convinced that this is the best BlackBerry App ever, just watch the video… Then pick up bbExecutioner up in the store.

Have fun annoying the hell out co-workers, loved ones, 6th grade math teachers, and strangers sitting near you at the airport wondering where that noise is coming from.

If you are looking to get yourself a BlackBerry Tour and are new to Verizon, Wirefly is offering the device to new Verizon subscribers for $179.99, $20 less than getting it direct.  The real deal, however, may be for existing Verizon customers.

If you are already a Verizon customer you can get yourself the BlackBerry Tour for $199.99…  Even possibly if you aren’t eligible for an upgrade.  This is a full $290 less than the $489.99 that Verizon is charging.

There is a lot of fine print that you should read thouroghly before you get in on this but if you are one of those BlackBerry users that just has to have the latest device whenever it comes out, this deal just may be for you.

Check the deal out over on Wirefly…

It looks like Bla1ze over at CrackBerry.com got his hands on an alpha release of  the Skyfire for BlackBerry mobile internet browser.  All I know is that if Skyfire for BlackBerry can do for the BlackBerry what it did for Windows Mobile devices and Nokia smartphones, browsing the internet on a BlackBerry will no longer take a backseat to the likes  of the iPhone, Android devices,  the Palm Pre, and pretty much every other smartphone built in the last two years.

XING launches free app for BlackBerry smartphones Hamburg, July 2nd, 2009 – XING (xing.com), Europe’s leading business network, has launched a new app for BlackBerry® smartphones. The free download will enable more than 7 million business professionals connected over 146 million times worldwide on the platform to access their personal network directly from their mobile devices. The app keeps track of all the user’s contacts; phone numbers and email addresses are always available wherever they are, and automatically updated online by the members themselves. The “What’s new in your network” feature lets mobile users stay up-to-date on all the latest developments in their personal network, as well as enabling them to keep others informed by posting status messages of their own. Private messages on XING can also be received and replied to from wherever the user happens to be. Another highlight of the free XING app is that it synchronizes specific contact data on XING with the users’ address book contacts on their BlackBerry smartphone. People on the move can also call or email contacts in their network directly using the XING app.
