Lightbulb Berry411 needs a new name-- suggestions? - 01-31-2007, 06:15 PM

Berry411 is going to be promoted as a part of the RIM ISV alliance, which is a great thing, but as a part of that I need to find a new name for the application-- RIM as you know is aggressively protecting anything related to "black" and "berrry".

I've been playing with a few ideas but welcome your suggestions about a new name that steers clear of anyone else's trademark. Thanks for your help.

That's too bad. Berry411 is a great name. I'll try and think of some.

since no "berry" and "black," use the word bb instead like BB411.

Default Bb - 01-31-2007, 08:15 PM

My only concern about BB is distinctiveness: there are other BB apps (BBSpell) and confusion will result about who makes what.

I like that name a lot, unfortunately the domain name at least is taken.

Default Bogle411? - 01-31-2007, 09:31 PM

Just because it hasn't been suggested, I might say Bogle411, since there's a WM5 version by that name available over at WebIS. I don't necessarily think that's the best option, but the name is already out there on a small scale.

Since many of us consider this to be the third party application we find the most useful, I would like that to be conveyed in the title.

Essential411
Vital411

Or maybe it should reflect the multiple possiblities of use such as:

multi-search411

Whatever you choose for a name, it is a great application.

How can RIM stop someone from using Berry? Berry and Blackberry are two different words.

Anyways, an idea: LOOK IT UP 411

FIND IT 411

Information to the power of Infinity!!

411∞

Can't do an infinity symbol superscript in the quick reply box. The program is the most used program on our BB by a lot of us.

Again Thanks Phil.

Thanks for all the great (and funny) suggestions.

Very hard to pick, but I think I'll go with juwaack68's suggestion of "Beyond411" (or B411 for short) due to the similarity to Berry411.

Phil: best of luck then and let us know when B411 is offically promoted as part of RIMs ISV alliance (whatever ISV alliance is).
