RIM offers free Wallet application for BlackBerrys
Feel like storing some personal info on your BlackBerry handheld device? Things just got a bit easier. RIM is now offering a free program called BlackBerry Wallet, designed to help you store your personal information in an easy to access fashion. BlackBerry Wallet contains slots for your address, assuming you have trouble remembering where you live, credit card numbers, gift card numbers, and a bit more. It’s very straightforward, and RIM claims that it’s completely secure, so you shouldn’t be too worried about trusting the device with your personal info. The best part? The application is completely free. The jury is still out on why we need this over our trusted Password Keeper, but oh well. Just head on over to mobile.blackberry.com, try it out and let us know what you think.

I just installed the application on my 8330 for Sprint.
I’m going to use this instead of the Password Keeper because it uses AES encryption.

I have a Vodafone Pearl in the UK, and I just can’t find the link for the Wallet. It’s either not releaed in UK, or very well hidden!
P.S. Their new homescreen layout sucks on mobile.blackberry.com - I preferred the old way!
