Time to pick up on our new BBHub daily feature called BlackBerry Support Document of the Day.

Every week, the BlackBerry Technical Knowledge Center lists their 25 most viewed documents for that week.

Every day, starting from #1, we've been identifying a document on this list.

The current #6 is BlackBerry 7210, BlackBerry 7230, and BlackBerry 7280 Safety Information Booklet. Let's check it out.

You'll find information about Antenna Care, operating and storage temperatures (as shown above), electronic equipment that could evoke reception interference issues, dangerous areas you don't want to go to with your BlackBerry, what type of repairs you should not attempt, radio signal exposure risks, and absorption rate data.

For $45.00, a Web-based service called GSM Phone Source will remotely unlock your Cingular BlackBerry 8700c, 7290, 7280 or 7100g.

After you pay thru the site, you submit your order.  When you submit your order, you should include the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number and model number for the Blackberry you are unlocking in the notes section.

You can get the IMEI number when you enter *#06# from your phones keypad. A 15-digit IMEI number  will display on your screen.

The service usually takes 24 hours to unlock your Blackberry, or other handset.

According to research firm Gartner, BlackBerry PDA shipments grew by 52.6 percent in the third quarter of 2005.

Insofar as what Garnter terms a "PDA," they set the standard as a data-centric handheld computer designed for use with both hands, equipped with instant on-off capability and a variety of third-party applications.

That covers the BlackBerry 7200 series (like the 7270 you see over there) but not the 7100, which is more like a cellphone.

Insofar as leading operating system vendors, Microsoft leads with 49.2 percent of worldwide shipments. BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion is second with 25 percent, followed by Palm OS with 14.9. Symbian and Linux brought up the rear.

On the BlackBerry section of the HowardForums mobile phone site, Forums Member BriBri99 started a thread with a common concern of those of us who remember computing wa-a-a-a-y back when. BriBri named the thread, Will my 7290 screen burn in?

"Might be a very stupid question," BriBri writes, but I know that there is a constant picture in the background, will this cause burn in?"

Well, BriBri, there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.

And neither answer filed by subsequent HowardForums posters is stupid. In fact, the reply posts are helpful.

"LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) doesn't suffer from burn in," writes BlackBerry 7280 user Pennywise.  "In fact, I don't think that exists on anything newer than the a 1980's CRT

"I've never had it happen on an LCD," BlackBerry 7250 user jase88 writes. "If (the thought of burn-in) concerns you, use an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) holster--the Blackberry screen turns off while in these holsters."

Dobson Communications, an Oklahoma City, Okla.-based wireless services provider with 1.6 million mostly rural customers in 16 states, says it will support Handango InHand mobile applications.

These apps, which include business software, games, and much more, will be available via Handango InHand configured for BlackBerry 7100, BlackBerry 7280, BlackBerry 7290 and BlackBerry 7780 devices sold by Dobson through their online and retail channels.

BlackBerry-enthusiast site BlackBerry Cool has named the five winners in its "Favorite BlackBerry Model" contest.

Two of the five winners named the BlackBerry 7100t their favorite model.

Here's a bit about what each winner had to say about their favorite model:

Alex D. likes the BlackBerry 7100t for its cell phone utility, Bluetooth capability, and ease-of-type.

Brian O'Neill also votes for the BlackBerry 7100t because he doesn't feel he is holding a calculator up to his ear when he is making a call.

Jonathan Newman votes for the BlackBerry 7280 becaue of its "cool screen" and "wonderful shape."

Ronald S. is partial to the BlackBerry 7250 because of its Bluetooth and wireless headset. He says owning a 7250 "is like having a Pocket PC."

Hugh McKerrow votes for the BlackBerry 7100g. He likes the device's BlackBerry capability within a handset the size of a cell phone.

Each winner gets a free copy of the new Medieval Kings Chess 2 game from Magmic Software.
