The RIM Blackberry Tour (9630) comes ready to use with 256mb of onboard memory with a upgradable Micro SD slot. With its 480 x 360 pixel screen it compliments the 3.2 megapixel camera/video well.
When taking this product out the box i was very surprised with the weight and how slim the phone was. The internet on this thing was amazing! Verizon 3g really does get the job done.Texting and Emailing couldnt have been easier,with the qwerty board, and the red message indicator light on the front.
The Scroll wheel on the front could not have made navigation on this easier.
On the the left side of the device is a customizeable button which is defaulted as Voice Dailing on the right side is volume up and down, and another customizable button which is defaulted as Camera. Also on the right side is a 3.5mm headphone jack for quick hookup with your favorite headphones.

Well there are a ton of gadgets out there that are cool and sleek and will make you want them for the status you will gain with your chums. Those gadgets are great. I have even succumbed to the relentless marketing and purchased one or five of them myself. The device that I am posting about is not of that camp. It is actually affordable and, brace yourself…, useful.
The Black Widow USB hard drive dock by Thermaltake is a way to easily connect 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA internal hard drives to a computer with a USB or eSATA port. All you have to do is connect the dock to a power source and your computer and you can connect any internal SATA drive as if it were an external drive. You are able to hot swap the drives and move data at either USB 2.0 transfer speeds or eSATA on the upgraded model. The cost of external storage is higher than internal. This is because it comes with the case and all the innards that allow it to connect to your computer. What this device does is allows you to provide as much storage as you want while keeping the innards static. This is especially useful if you are performing periodic backups to be moved of site. Your only cost is the hard drive.
There are cheaper and clunkier ways to make this happen. You don’t have to have this device to get the same result but this is the easiest and most user friendly way to mount internal drives quickly. So if you are tired of taking the screws out of your case to hook up a drive to pull one file off it or if you are tired of other solutions that are little more than a mess of cords then you need to give this product a serious look. Aside from the ridiculous name and the “PC Gaming” badge on the box I can’t find any faults in this product.
