How Much Work Does It Take To Make A BlackBerry App Run On The Storm?
» ‎ RIMarkable

So, I’ve been running with my BlackBerry Storm for 6 weeks are so. I’ve installed the latest leaked BB OS and, For me, the Storm is performing pretty good. The problem that I am running into is that a lot of the really cool BlackBerry applications that I used to run on my BlackBerry Pearl don’t run on the BlackBerry Storm.

I knew that this would be an issue going in as the layout and user interface on the Storm is so different from other BlackBerry devices. One can only assume that the Application Center didn’t launch at the same time as the BlackBerry Storm because of the lack of applications for it. I’ve noticed, however, that a few BlackBerry applications have been released and / or updated since the launch of the BlackBerry Storm and they are not compatible with it.

Now, I know that these applications were probably in development long before the release of the BlackBerry Storm, but, the fact that brand new BlackBerry applications don’t work on my brand new BlackBerry Storm got me to thinking about what all it takes to make a BlackBerry application run smoothly on the BlackBerry Storm?

Get A Verizon BlackBerry Pearl For $20
» ‎ RIMarkable

Verizon Wireless has a heck of a deal on the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 going right now. You can get your hands on on for $19.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.

You have to, of-course, sign up to a 2-year service plan and it will probably take a month or so for you to get your rebate back, however, if you were in the market for a new BlackBerry and Verizon is your carrier of choice, this is a pretty good deal.

Check out the Verizon Wireless website for more information…

RIM Founder And co-CEO, Mike Lazaridus, Says BlackBerry Storm is a ‘Netbook’
» ‎ RIMarkable

In a CNet interview, RIM founder and co-CEO, Mike Lazaridus, says, when asked if he considers netbooks competitors to the BlackBerry,

“No, I think I can put Netbooks in here [referring to the BlackBerry Storm]. These are netbooks. They are just smaller.“

Big Mike is not generally known for making just plain crazy and ludicrous assertions so we had to head over to Wikipedia to check out the definition of netbook before we chalked this comment up to too much time spent next to the hard eggnog bowl at the RIM holiday party.

I guess that if you ignore the first sentence of that definition where it says that “A netbook is a light-weight, low-cost, energy-efficient, highly portable laptop…” , you only loosely apply the rest of the definition, and say it with an an extremely straight face to someone that has never seen a netbook or really knows all that much about current technology, you could get some to believe that the BlackBerry Storm is a netbook.

SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry Beta Now Available
» ‎ RIMarkable

I know that an awful lot of BlackBerry users have been waiting an awfully long time for the day that they would be able to control their SlingBox from their BlackBerry devices to arrive and I am happy to report that this day is now actually here… Sort of…

The SlingPlayer Mobile Public Beta for BlackBerry is now a available for download. I say that the day many BlackBerry users is here sort of becasue it is only available to GSM BlackBerry devices at this time.

I certainly hope that SlingMedia is working on a SlingPlayer Mobile client for the BlackBerry Storm. Not doing so should simply be a crime…

Yahoo! Go No Available For BlackBerry Bold
» ‎ RIMarkable

Yahoo! Go, Yahoo’s mobile portal application that allows you to send email, upload photos, download maps, get stock quotes, and get breaking news, has been updated to version 3.0.47 and now has support for the BlackBerry Bold.

Yahoo! Go 3.0.47 is not compatibable with the BlackBerry Storm and I haven’t played with it since it was in beta for the BlackBerry Pearl 8130. If I remember correctly it was a little bit slow, so, I wonder how the new version will on the BlackBerry Bold that has 3G and more processing power all around.

If you are a BlackBerry Bold use and decide to give Yahoo! Go a try, let us know how it goes via the commnents.

Get information on how to download Yahoo! Go to your BlackBerry here…

Just a little over a week after BlackBerry Storm OS 4.7.0.83 leaked, another leaked OS has made its way onto the interweb.

OS 4.7.0.85 for the BlackBerry Storm can be found online in a unofficial way, however, word on the street is that that lastest update might actually be the next official release.

I haven’t had the chance to install 4.7.0.85 as of yet, however, those that have are saying that the updated OS is much improved even over .83.

RIM Patents Weirdest QWERTY Keyboard Configuration Ever
» ‎ RIMarkable

In an apparent effort to even make BlackBerry devices slimmer than the BlackBerry Pearl, RIM has patented a keyboard configuration that is… Well, it is about the weirdest thing I’ve seen come out of Waterloo in quite some time.

From the diagram it looks like this a modified SureType QWWERTY keyboard that you must flip out the sides to get the full SureType Keyboard…

It doesnt’ make much sense to me either. I personally am a big fan of SureType, however, if you are going to have to reconfigure your keyboard, why not reconfigure to a full QWERTY keyboard.

RIM, I am telling you… Just come out with a BlackBerry Slider.

CellAvant TalkLock™ For BlackBerry Storm
» ‎ RIMarkable

One of the issues with the BlackBerry Storm is that the touchscreen stays active when you are on a call and it is not terribly difficult to inadvertently activate applications while the screen is pressed to your face.

I personally use a Bluetooth headset almost all of the time and personally have never done this, or, at least have never noticed that I’ve done it. It is however, a big enough issue that the folks over at CellAvant have created a free BlackBerry application, TalkLock™, that sovles the problem.

TalkLock™ is a free utility that automatically engages a few seconds after a call is connected, and intercepts touch screen actions. This prevents screen presses from launching programs or invoking functions while you talk.

I just downloaded and installed TalkLock™. It seems to work thus pretty well thus far.

You can check it out for yourself by simply entering in your email address here…

VyMail… Free BlackBerry Visual Voicemail Client For YouMail
» ‎ RIMarkable

So, I am up catching up on all the BlackBerry news from the past 12 hours or so and just happened upon this post over at BerryReview.com where they are talking about a free visual voicemail client for YouMail called VyMail. I am always interested in a free stuff so I decided to check it out.

After about 10 minutes of playing with VyMail, I can tell you that there is absolutely no reason to pay for Verizon’s Visual VoiceMail if you are a BlackBerry Storm user and all other BlackBerry users should be taking a look at this as well simply because it is one of the coolest free BlackBerry applications that I have seen in some time.

In order to user VyMail you must first sign up a free YouMail Account. You can get information on what YouMail is here but, essentially, it is a service that you can forward your mobile voicemail to which gives you a ton of really cool voicemail management features for free.

On you have a YouMail account set up, simply download VyMail to your BlackBerry OTA by visiting [www.joekrill.com] directly from your device’s BlackBerry browser. You can also download this to your desktop to install via BlackBerry Desktop manager here. Once VyMail is installed, all you have to do is enter your phone number and your PIN from YouMail.

VyMail is just in beta, however, but it works as well as Verizon’s Visual VoiceMail. Additionally, YouMail has a ton of features that Verizon does not. PhoneTag should also be concerned about VyMail. VyMail doesn’t support transcription yet but I would guess that will just be a matter of time. Although there is a charge for voicemail to text transcription from YouMail, it is competitive in price and YouMails other features blow PhoneTag out of the water.

This is coming from someone who just said yesterday that PhoneTag is my favorite BlackBerry App of 2008. It still is, however, VyMail and YouMail are going to give the guys over at PhoneTag a run for their money in 2009.

Your Favorite BlackBerry Apps Of 2008
» ‎ RIMarkable

It’s been a big year for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion but an exciting one as well, especially over the passed several months with the release of all the new BlackBerry devices that have come out.

It has also been a big year for BlackBerry Software and Applications that have come out. When I start to think just a few of my personal favorites such as Viigo, Phonetag, MySpace for BlackBerry, Nintaii, and many others, I realized that it would be way too easy to leave a really good BlackBerry App off of any type of top 5 or top 10 list.

That being said I figured that I should just ask you guys what your favorite BlackBerry Apps of 2008 are. I am sure that there are a lot of new or soon to be new BlackBerry users that would really appreciate any tips good software to load their new BlackBerry devices up with.

Leave us a comment and let us know what your favorite BlackBerry Apps of 2008 are.

Did You Know That Google Has A YouTube Client For The BlackBerry Storm?

So, I’ve had my BlackBerry Storm for close to a month now and I knew that it had the ability to play YouTube videos. I watch them all the time as a matter of fact. What I didn’t know, however, is there is actually a mobile YouTube client that runs on the BlackBerry Storm.

I am going to go out on a limb and assume that that are a lot of other BlackBerry Storm users that didn’t know about the BlackBerry Storm YouTube Client. If you are one of them and want to check it out, you can download it OTA directly to your device from [m.google.com]

BlackBerry Game: Marble Trap
» ‎ RIMarkable

So, I’ve been playing Marble Trap from Nickel Buddy for the passed few days and as the second game that I know of that makes use of the BlackBerry Storms accelorometer, it’s not bad… Not bad at all.

The first thing that you should note about Marble Trap is that it is a puzzel game, not an arcade game. You don’t just try to roll the marble towards the hole and balance it in. You actually have to figure out how line the marble up with the hole from its resting spot by making several moves around the board.

Marble Trap is a game of logic. To play the game, you will move the marble up, down, left or right, and the marble rolls until it hits something or rolls off the board. This game is a test of your thinking skills, not your reaction speed.

Mobile Trap will set you back $9.95, however, there is a free trial for you to try out. You can check it out here…

People Mobile For BlackBerry…???
» ‎ RIMarkable
Believe it or not, there is a new BlackBerry application, People Mobile, that allows you to satisfy your celebrity news and gossip fix right from your device for a mere $9.99 for a 3 month subscription.

You might be asking yourself who in their right mind would be willing to pay a monthly subscription to get tabloid style news on their BlackBerry, however, I am here to tell that tabloid news rags are struggling a lot less than some of your more traditional media.

Some of the features include:
- Over 70 news articles with over 10 new articles updated each day (Cover image for each article).
- Photos categories containing over 35 images.
- Over 100 images within the In Style Watch category.
- Over 60 puzzles with new puzzles updated each week!
- The Fashion Faceoff gallery displays celebreties with the same exact dress. See who pulls the look off better!
