Blackberry Bold 9700 Leaked! Full Video Review BB 9700 Bold

edward — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:44:20 +0000

The new Blackberry 9700 Bold is almost here! Well, is not official yet, but as always, there is a great video review before RIM even announces the phone.

The Blackberry 9700 Bold main difference with the old Blackberry Bold is on the hardware aspect, the 9700 will replace the trackball for a trackpad, and will be a lot smaller; that means more pocketable than the original Bold which was a bit too big. The new Blackberry 9700 looks really nice, has leathered back battery cover, and even a little logo between the camera and the flash that says ”Bold”. The BB 9700 looks pretty well designed; solid and elegant at the same time. The 9700 will have the usual features: WI-FI, 3.5mm Jack, GPS, 3G, Bluetooth etc…

The new Bold 9700 will be headed apparently to both AT&T and T-Mobile, as you can see, the picture above has a big ”T-Mobile” logo although it could be for T-Mobile Europe. In the USA the Bold 9700 will be launched with AT&T, of course, the Bold will have full 3G compatibility as well as WI-FI. We really hope Blackberry announces the Bold 9700 and the Storm 2 really soon!

To install the new 4.6.1.296 for the Blackberry 8520 you will need the Blackberry Desktop Software and 45 minutes of your time, happy updating! Below are the links to download the firmware:

edward — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:01:27 +0000

The Blackberry Storm is a wonderful device to play games, the big 3.2 touch screen is just amazing plus the accelerometer that puts even more fun to any game! I found a really cool game for the Blackberry Storm, it is a motion based game that uses the internal accelerometer of the Blackberry Storm as the interface it is called Maze and it is completely amazing and ready for you to download! The objective of Maze is to drive the ball by tilting your Blackberry Storm and guide the ball through the wooden labyrinths towards the finish hole, there are several traps on the way and let me tell you, it is not easy to win this game but it is lots of fun. The best part is that you have to tilt and move the Storm just like if it was a table so the ball rolls accordingly, the game is very fun and the accelerometer just makes it better. The game costs $9us but there is also a DEMO free version for you to try. You can download the Maze game here: Download

Twitter Application for Blackberry Curve, Bold and Storm

edward — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 19:31:15 +0000

First I will explain what Twitter is (if you already know jump to the next paragraph) because sometime ago when I did not know what Twitter was, I was very confused when new applications for the Blackberry came out. Twitter is a web application that lets you share with others what you are doing, toughts or whatever you want in less than 140 Characters. You can follow someone and their updates will show in your ”Twitter Home” and people also follow you to find out what you are doing. I was very doubtful about this service, but when I tried it I loved it! Go to www.twitter.com to sign up.

Ok, so for those who know what Twitter is, or just learned what Twitter is, there is a very cool and usser friendly application that lets you do everything you normally do on Twitter; on your Blackberry Storm, Curve or Bold. Its basically a Twitter software for Blackberry smartphones, it is called -as everyone would expect- Twitter Berry.

To download and get Twitter on your Blackberry smartphone just follow the link below and follow the instructions, if you have any problem just leave a comment, but please be specific so we can help you!

Storm Software: Unlock your Storm Like an iPhone!

edward — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:33:58 +0000

Ever felt jealous of the iPhone? Maybe the way it is unlocked makes you want it more than your Storm? Well, not anymore! There is now an application that lets you unlock your Blackberry Storm just the same way the iPhone is unlocked. So basically you won’t need to press the button on the top left corner to unlock your Blackberry Storm, you now can slide your finger across the screen and it will unlock.

Many people like the iPhone method better than the Storm method, but in my opinion the Storm method is much better, as the whole device (Storm) iss better than the iPhone. This simple difference on how to unlock the device shows a lot about the two devices. The Storm has a very simple but yet much effective way to unlock the device, on the other hand the iPhone way can appear more cool but at the end effectiveness is what counts, and that is the Storm.

Anyway, to download this software for your Blackberry Storm just follow this link: Link to Follow
