Federico Fiochhini is marketing manager of Vaja, a manufacturer of high-end leather accessories for BlackBerrys and other gadgets.

He'd like me, to um, get on the cases.

OK, I can do this!

First glance shows the Vaja BlackBerry cases especially configurable for older builds-including some pre-BlackBerry RIMs.

That's an RI11 at top. Starts at $74.90. 2 Credit Card Slots, Escape & Scroll access, One Touch Belt Clip, 3-1/8" x 4-6/8" x 1-1/8" inches  

Speets say it fits some very older models such as the RIM 857 - 957 - BlackBerry 5800 series. 
  

Then you have the alternative of RI11 custom. Looking at it now.

Speets (new word I just made up, combining "specs" and "deets"- not bad for a Friday, eh?):

  • Snap Closure
  • Escape & Scroll access
  • Ultra Clip Optional
  • Choose the slots (sounds like Vegas :-)
  • Choose the lining
  • Personalizable
  • Choose the protection (sounds like an insurance ad)
  • ABS insert protection
  • 3-1/8" x 4-6/8" x 1-1/8"

And this starts at $74.90 as well.

BlackBerry headsetI've been spending some quality time looking for bargains on the relatively new BlackBerry Accessories Store.

As one who is big on headsets for all my mobile devices, I was curious to see what was being offered. Curiously, there's only one headset - a lightweight $13.99 branded BlackBerry Headset with a miniature clip that keeps the cord in place.

If you've ever dangled headphone cords, you'll want such a clip.

Much more important, this Headset works with just about every BlackBerry on the market.

PocketMetro 2.1Taking a subway ride in New York, London, Paris or Berlin?

You might want to try out ClockLabs' brand new PocketMetro 2.1. It has a built-in mapping function and trip-time calculator for the subway system in each of these cities.

The coolest thing about PocketMetro: when you install it on your BlackBerry, its entire database for the city you purchase "lives" on your device. That way, you don't have to hope for a signal before you access the function. That in-device capability is especially welcome considering that acquiring a wireless signal can be somewhat problematic in the subway.

PocketMetro 2.1 is compatible with most BlackBerry models. It costs $19.99 per city, and is available via download right here.
