Free eBook Reader From wattpad
» ‎ BerryReview.com

Love reading in your spare time? Want to catch a quick witty joke or poem before your meeting?

Look no further, this free eBook reading and sharing Java application from Wattpad is pretty cool. Wattpad is all about the community. Content is uploaded by community members and read by others. You yourself can upload content as well after creating a free account.

After downloading the Java app from m.wattpad.com it’s very simple to use with a friendly user interface.

As you can see you can also change the background and text colors to your liking from a list of preset choices, along with the text size. I wish more applications had this feature.

Getting an eBook is easy, with two ways of doing so. First you could go visit the Wattpad.com site on your home computer, find a story you’d like to read, and grab it’s code on the right hand side of the page. Then go back to the application on your phone and punch it in. Wattpad does the rest. Or secondly, you could just find it via the application’s internal browser:

Getting the story via “Read Now”, either from the website or the applications internal browser is very fast.

Downloading the entire story to “Read Offline”, however is a bit more involved. If you select this feature, the application will launch the appropriate page in your BlackBerry browser, where you can choose several different download options. If your limited on space you could download the book in parts, or just download the Full version. The stories are in .jad format, and once downloaded, you simply select Run from the download screen, and it will launch the story in Wattpad, where you can read it at your leisure.

I assume that it can be easy to forget how many stories you’ve downloaded after a while, thus filling up your phones memory pretty quickly, so keep an eye out on that! So far I haven’t found any major issues with this application, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as I have. Happy reading!

Tutorial: Sending Attachments From Your Blackberry Device
» ‎ BerryReview.com
This back to the basics article comes from one of our new contributors Mark who developed the very useful ezreregister utility we have mentioned previously. It is not meant for the hardcore BlackBerry user but is intended to answer a question that many of us get asked quite often by new BlackBerry users.

A handy feature of the newer Blackberry devices that can be overlooked is the ability to send a message with an attachment.

Suppose that you maintain several documents that you need to send to others from time to time. When someone calls you or sends a message asking for it, they want it now! Here is a relatively easy way to oblige them.

Whenever you change or edit your document, take an extra moment to place the updated copy on your Blackberry (I use a micro SD card, you can store smaller documents directly on the Blackberry). You can use the Media Manager portion of the Desktop Manager, or if you have Mass Storage Mode enabled on your device, you can use your native file explorer to load the file onto your Blackberry.

How to Attach the File(s)

From left to right:
1. create the message to send
2. click menu, and select Attach File
3. select the source of the file to send
4. select the individual file
5. the message now has the attachment
6. send the message on it’s way. That’s all there is to it!
If you need to send media files or files that are large in size, this isn’t the best way to do it. If you need a quick way to send the latest report, your current catalog, or any other reasonably sized file that others will ask you for, this is how you can do it without waiting to get back to the office, or having to call someone to send it for you.

Suggestion Box: Is A Undelete Email Function Possible?
» ‎ BerryReview.com
I got an idea for a new third party application that I wish somebody would develop. I will dub it “undelete” for simplicity. The idea would be an application that would allow you to undelete emails that you accidentally deleted on your BlackBerry.

Personally I know this is partly my fault because I chose the menu option to not confirm the deletion of an email. Personally I just found that feature annoying and an extra step. The problem is that I sometimes press the delete key one two many times and lose an email that I really need.

On a desktop or web email client this would not be a problem. I would be able to just go to the “deleted items” folder and move it back to the inbox. On the BlackBerry this is impossible even if you are on a BES. Something that has always bothered me. You can view the “deleted items” folder on the BES but you wont find the email you just deleted there.

So I have to ask has anybody found a solution to this? I tried one setting up the BES to sync the “deleted items” folder along with the Inbox but this cause quite a few problems. Also this does not help for my BIS accounts.

I have two proposed solutions to this problem that I hope some developer will listen to if such things are possible. If not I think RIM could pick this up as a simple extra feature.
1. My first proposed solution would be to offer a 15 minute or so leeway between when you hit the delete button until the item is actually deleted. This could also move the email to a different folder so that you can recover it quickly.
2. The second idea would be something like RIM’s retention of old emails. Just like you can set how long your BlackBerry will keep items in the inbox maybe developers could set a way to keep deleted items on your BlackBerry for 3–5 days.
I know both solutions are very similar but I can’t count how many times I have deleted emails I really needed on the road with no way to recover them until I got to a desktop.

Anybody have any idea?

Is Sprint BlackBerry Curve Delayed Until May?
» ‎ RIMarkable

I am hearing rumblings that the Sprint BlackBerry Curve has been delayed until May. I have not been able to confirm this, however, I’ve heard it from enough different people that asking the question is probably warranted.

As I’ve said many times before, I just can’t fathom Sprint coming out with the Curve before Verizon. If these rumors are correct, looks like Verizon just may beat Sprint to the punch.

Howto: Train a BES administrator
» ‎ NotesBerry

A quick eMail from Ray Bilyk:
Love your Blog! Quick question... As a experienced Domino Admin being moved to support BlackBerry as well, what books/manuals do you suggest I get and read? Money IS an object (if you know what I mean).
Well, anything that starts off with 'Love your blog!' will obviously get our attention.

This is actually a really good question. How did we get to this level ?

From my point of view, it all started when one customer of my company - HADSL - asked that we incorporate BlackBerry functionality into our product. The customer arranged for us to tag along to a training day they were given by their carrier (Vodafone in the UK), and we were taught the absolute basics - adding a new handset, nuking a handset, upgrading the firmware on a handset, etc. This cannot be under-rated as a training exercise, believe me. Just having someone there to answer the first 10 or so dumb questions that spring into your head is a lifesaver. Rob Owen of Vodafone did a stand up job, and left us all with a really positive feeling.

After that, I dig into the BlackBerry Enterprise Server manuals themselves, and that seemed to do the trick. Also, I downloaded a QuickStart BES, put it on a test server and generally abused that for testing and developing. I'm guessing it took me a few days of floundering around to get comfortable with the processes.

What resources did other folks find really useful out there ?

Video demo of the Slingbox for BlackBerry
» ‎ BB Geeks

The BBGeeks crew dropped by the Symbian booth at CTIA, where Dave Zatz and Brian Jacquet were demoing Slingbox for all who are interested. I’ve talked about it a few times before, including last week’s BBGeekcast. Luckily for us, they had a BlackBerry on hand, which was running the Slingbox software. Dave was kind enough let us shoot a demo video of the service. It was running on EDGE, which it’s not intended to do, but it nevertheless looked pretty quality. I can only imagine what it will look like running on 3G, EVDO, and WiFi.

Pretty neat, eh? I had a few questions about the Slingbox for BlackBerry service, and Dave has kindly agreed to answer them. We’ll get them up in the next few days.

Once again, we’re looking at a late-2008 release. They just have to hammer out all the quirks.

AT&T next in line for BlackBerry 8110 with GPS
» ‎ BlackBerry Sync

According to a post found on BerryReview, Viral Electronics is saying AT&T has released new mail-in rebates which list the BlackBerry 8110. The rebate is for $50 off the price of the 8110. In case your don't know a whole lot about the 8110 it's the GPS packing, Wi-Fi lacking next generation Pearl with a 2.0 megapixel camera. Unfortunately no one posted a scan of the rebate yet…

UPDATE: BGR got their hands on a copy of the rebate and here it is:

Free Hendrix Purple Haze Theme For 8100, 8300, 8700, & 8800
» ‎ BerryReview.com

Artistic-me.com released this theme a bit ago but I finally had a chance to try it out myself. She has been burned recently by others stealing her work and has decided to go premium with some of her themes so I thought I would show her some credit for a theme I find very cool.

The theme is available for quite a few devices and the install is OTA only. The theme is amazing if you are a Hendrix fan. The icons are original as far as I can tell and the title bar fits the purple haze theme perfectly. In short if you are a Hendrix fan you will enjoy it.

You can pick up the Hendrix Theme at this link. OTA links can be found on that page.

Free BlackNote Zen Theme For BlackBerry 8300 & 8800
» ‎ BerryReview.com

I just ran across a nice free theme from the guys at eVeek.com. The theme has a nice old parchment look to it with some flashy colors. I know a few people who love this kind of stuff. They are the same ones that have monogrammed memo-pads.

The Zen menu looks really cool but a little dark and the top bar menu just looks downright cool. I love the font but I wish there was a way to not have to use it for the menus and email messages. It makes it a little annoying to read. The icons are all white on black which makes them hard to discern but they fit in perfectly with the theme.

The theme is available for free with OTA and Desktop manager downloads but you must register to be able to even see that the theme exists.

Commercial Inspired 9000 Theme For BlackBerry 8300, 8700, & 8800
» ‎ BerryReview.com
I had been waiting for JC Designs to expand his Inspired 9000 theme line before I posted this and he finally has. I first heard about this theme when Kevin mentioned it at the end of last month. The idea is that the theme will try to give you a BlackBerry 9000 look on your device. Pretty cool idea for those who have to have the latest and greatest. This has to be the first theme I remember that supports the 8700 but not the 8100. Weird.

On to the review. The theme comes in multiple different styles for the 8300, 8700, & 8800 including:
- Inspired 9000 Icon
- Inspired 9000 Today
- Inspired 9000 User Zen
- Inspired 9000 User 2 Zen
- Inspired 9000 Abuser Zen
- Inspired 9000 Abuser 2 Zen
The different Zen and Abuser Zen versions relate to different icons the the dock and a little different setup as you can see above. I love the icons and how the change when you hover on top of them. On the other hand the background is not my top choice. Personally I like icons with different colors so that they are easy to differentiate but that would ruin the 9000 theme. All in all this is a very slick design.

You can pick up each version for $7 at the BerryReview store. Don’t forget the 15% off coupon we have going now to bring down the price.

FlipSide MP3 Player Version 1.09 Released
» ‎ BerryReview.com
One of our readers let us know yesterday that FlipSide had released a new update to their popular MP3 player application. The updates seem small but some of them may be welcome changes. If you have never tried it before you can pick up a 3 day trial at this link.

The changes in the latest version are:
- Fixed interaction with telephony on 88xx.
- New volume feedback icon.
- Improved motion when rendering M4As.
- New shuffle modes.
I am going to try out those new shuffle modes. The older ones were a bit lacking on the BlackBerry even in the native MP3 player. FlipSide has really been rounding out their MP3 player with extra features recently unlike other applications that are developed and then left to rot.

Pick up the new version from their website or from the store.

Sneak preview of BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5
» ‎ BB Geeks

Ah, those kids at Boy Genius Report. They’ve always got the BlackBerry scoop (well, except this one). Up now: BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5. It’s expected to come out alongside the OS 4.5 upgrade…which hopefully means next month at WES. The biggest difference upon first look is, well, everything. The user interface has been completely overhauled, which should be good news for those who were unimpressed by BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3. Picture coming after the jump.

It looks pretty sleek. However, BGR reports that looks are the biggest upgrade. Functionally, it’s looking similar to its predecessors. The only change that BGR noted was that the CD and DVD burning function offered by Roxio is no longer there. It’s just the Roxio Media Manager now. I used to use it to burn CDs, and I gotta say, that’s the only thing it was good for. So I’m not too optimistic on that front.

BGR has a ton of pictures over at their post, if you want to see a few more screen shots.

Now, if we can just get a peek at OS 4.5…

BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 - To Be Announced at WES 2008?
» ‎ The Boy Genius Report

We’ve heard about BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 for over a year now. At WES 2007, ARGON was announced publically for the first time. From there on, it has been a slow and painful road through continual disappointment and delay. The plan was to have a very extensive nine month Beta program that would commence in August 2007 and on through the general availability of the software at WES 2008 in May. August came, August went. November came along and RIM published a Top 10 features list for ARGON and rumors were spreading of the pre-beta nomination process that was underway.

Fast-forward to April and we still have no new information, although it appers that some form of an early adoption and/or beta program is underway (reference WR17).

The month of May and the annual Wireless Enterprise Symposium are just around the corner. BES 5.0, commonly referred to by its codename "ARGON", will not be released at WES 2008, however it will likely be announced during the week of WES and previewed (once again) during a breakout session by Pete Devenyl, VP of BlackBerry Software for Research In Motion (reference WR01).

Popular odds in the BGR Office Pool have the General Availability (GA) date for BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 around December 2008 at the earliest and February/March 2009 at the latest. Then again, as with seemingly everything RIM has planned to launch over the past year or so, BES 5.0 has already been postponed no less than six months, so perhaps we should shoot for a WES 2009 release?

Assuming we receive no more news over the next five weeks, count on an update with more information from WES in sunny Orlando, Florida. Stay tuned…

AT&T rebate form shows 8110
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

BerryReview found a post by Gary at ViralElectronics which says that AT&T has released new rebates which show the as-yet-unreleased Pearl 8110 with a $50 rebate. This definitely adds some substance to the rumor that AT&T would be dropping the 8100 in favor of the 8110, but still, there’s no official word from AT&T and, sadly, no image of the documents in question.

100 million European LBS users by 2012
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

cellular-news has a report from Berg Insight which says that there will be over 100 million users of location based services in Europe by 2012. According to the report, LBS are set to become the MySpace or Facebook of mobile phones, and just like the social networking revolution, many will try but few will succeed at having the same impact. Mapping, navigation and search are said to be the top applications, which we’ve certainly seen evidence for. The report also cautions that increased adoption doesn’t necessarily equal increased revenue, and companies in that sector will have to work on advertising models.

WES Exhibitor Spotlight: iTookThisOnMyPhone
» ‎ BlackBerry Cool

If you’re a budding photographer you might want to check out iTookThisOnMyPhone. Their free service automatically uploads any pictures or videos you take to their servers, and allows you to describe and manage them online, leaving your BlackBerry Pearl or Curve’s memory free for other uses. You can can make photos public, or create user groups to only allow certain visitors access. They recently joined the ISV Alliance, so hopefully we can see some new features (ordering prints, maybe?) at WES this year.

TinyTwitter - Twitter For Free From Your BlackBerry
» ‎ BerryReview.com
There are two things that I love. My BlackBerry and Twitter. But putting the two together hasn’t always been the #1 priority among BlackBerry software developers. Sure, I could just post to Twitter using a shortcode via SMS TXT, but I also like to see the Twitter Public Timeline, and my friends Timeline. And I want options! And there are those that can’t afford to pay to TXT to a different country everytime they’d like to do a bit of micro-blogging.

TinyTwitter does just all that. Developed by Kevin Cawley from Boulder, CO(kcbigring on Twitter), TinyTwitter is a wonderful bit of software that puts everything Twitter at your fingertips. You can point your BlackBerry browser to http://tinytwitter.com or http://m.ttwt.at and the site will automatically recognize which type of device your running (yes, Windows Mobile devices are supported too) and let you download the application for free. It should tell you automatically but if it doesn’t make sure to download the “Recent Java Enabled Phones (MDIP 2.0)” version of the application.

Among the many options to choose from, here are just a few:
- Sync Settings
- Font Settings
- UI Settings
- Tweet Ticker that runs along the bottom showing your last tweet.
- User specific Timeline option
- And many more
While there still may be some bugs here and there, it’s a great application to add to your BlackBerry software stash. Happy Tweeting!

I will have to give these a whirl soon to see if they actually do half of what they claim. Imagine installing applications to the SD card. Something just makes me wonder if it were that easy why didn’t RIM do it. This memory optimizer is also something I have never seen the like of before.

First look at BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5
» ‎ BlackBerry Sync

Jibi over at Boy Genius has posted an exclusive look at the upcoming BlackBerry Desktop Manager version 4.5. Here's what he had to say about the new version 4.5:

Picking up where the release of BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 underwhelmed after it’s initial makeover, the new release of BlackBerry Desktop Manager will feature a complete overhaul of the interface from top to bottom. While this beta version does not feature any major enhancements above and beyond the UI asthetics, it is certainly a breath of fresh air from the 1998-esque releases we have previously seen from RIM. We expect this version to launch around the same time as the ever-fabled OS 4.5 device software.

Please note this version is still in beta, however we did notice one interesting change. It appears the included Roxio Media Manager no longer includes the full Roxio Media Creator Suite but rather the Media Manager portion only. Assuming nothing changes between now and retail release and you want to keep your abilities to burn CDs, burn DVDs and VCDs, etc., we suggest remaining on BDM 4.3 or BDM 4.2 SP2. Of course, that is assuming these commercial features won’t be removed from these versions as well. We always found it rather humorous that Media Manager advertised the purchased upgrade to the full-blown version of Media Creator Suite, when it could simply be accessed by clicking the Home link at the bottom of the application.

Head on over to BGR for the rest of the pictures.
