de iBerry Zwarte & Whitelist zijn een toepassing die u om toestaat op de zwarte lijst te zetten en whitelistbezoekers zodat u ongewenste vraag kunt blokkeren. Dit wordt gedaan door een eenvoudige whitelist of blacklist of een interessantere eigenschap waar u de regel van het adresboek kunt gebruiken om slechts bezoekers in uw adresboek toe te staan. De software staat u toe ook om bezoekers te blokkeren die van een onbekend of privé aantal roepen. De software was zeer efficiënt in het verminderen van de hoeveelheid ongewenste bezoekers die ik kreeg maar het vereist een weinig configuratie om het werkend te krijgen. Enkele eigenschappen zijn zeer intuïtief en anderen konden wat werk gebruiken om wijsje te zuiveren maar alles bij elkaar is de software vrij goed. Controle uit het volledige overzicht na de sprong.

Eerste Indrukken: Installeer ging zonder hitch en was een zeer kleine download. Het probleem met deze software is dat het bedrijf dat het maakt, iBerry softwarelaboratoria, heeft nog geen website noch hebben zij steunopties online beschikbaar buiten e-mail. iBerry gekregen juist iets wanneer zij het programma opzetten om uw montages te herinneren wanneer uw verbetering zo u niet het moet herprogrammeren telkens als u bevordert. Wat zij verkeerd werden was het feit dat het programma geen steun heeft of het hulpdossier om u te helpen krijgen begon.

Hoe het werkt: Ik zou adviseren dat u de volgende beschrijving leest omdat het u toont hoe de toepassing eigenlijk vraag blokkeert. De vraag wordt niet echt tegengehouden van het roepen van uw telefoon maar eigenlijk in de eerste milliseconden van de vraag gedempt. Dit betekent dat zij u een audio-messagerie kunnen nog verlaten als u audio-messagerie hebt. Van de iBerry beschrijving:

Of het aantal van de bezoeker in adresboek geformatteerd aantal is of ruw aantal, wanneer u een inkomende vraag hebt, de toepassing slim hakkend en passend algoritme gebruikt om het besluit of te ontdekken te analyseren en te nemen om het te verwerpen of niet. De telefoon is losgemaakt in 50 milliseconden en de toepassing maakt het gezoemgeluid vóór het het apparatenbegin van het Blackberry onbruikbaar om dat ergerend te maken sound*. The callers won’t even know that they are blacklisted or NOT whitelisted, they will hear the busy tone or forwarded to voice mail, depending on your phone setting. Some old Blackberry devices model you still here buzz sound, but very short and quieter than a normal call.

The Application: The application consists of a simple program window that takes a bit to get used to. Once you understand how it works then the program becomes much more useful. You can see the main screen above.

The menu options are pretty straight forward. The first option allows you to delete a number from your black or white list and the second allows you to collapse all numbers. The main option is the “Change Block Rule” option but we will discuss that in the next paragraph. The “Turn Off” option turns off all functionality of the program so things are back to normal. The “Blocked History” option allows you to see the call logs that have gone through the application and whether they went through or were blocked. The last two options are very nice since they allow you to block private and unknown numbers separately.

As we mentioned before the “Change Block Rule” menu option is the main feature of the program. With this you can switch between the three modes of the program.

• Blacklist - Blocks all contacts that are in the blacklist but lets everything else through
• Whitelist - Blocks all callers that are not specified in the whitelist (Good for only letting your wife or boss call)
• Address Book - Only allows callers that are in your address book to reach you

The only downside of all these is that if the caller ID is blocked or private then you need to play with the configuration a bit since your choices with private callers is block all or not.

The “Blocked History” menu option gives you a call log of all the numbers that came through with the date and time. I have two issues with this. First of all it only shows the number and not the name so it makes it difficult to identify. The second problem is that you cannot add or delete users from the black or white list from this screen which would make sense. Hopefully that will be fixed in a later revision.

Other than the inability to add blocks from the blocked history there is a nice way to add to the lists. You can add contacts or numbers to the black or white list from the phone application and from the address book. You can see screenshots of the context menu’s of both above.

When you click on the context menus you will be given the following prompt as you can see above. You will be asked to add the contact or number to the black or white list with both of the options checked by default for some odd reason.

Trial Limitations: The trial period is 15 days and you will be limited to 5 contacts in each list with unlimited contacts in Address book. You will be able to reject unwanted call 10 times and after that all calls come through. You will have to clear the blocked history manually to allow application to reject unwanted calls again.

The Good:

• Powerful call blocking options
• Ability to block unknown or private numbers
• Ability to add numbers from address book and phone application

The Bad:

• You cannot add contacts from the application or the blocked call history
• Some older BlackBerry’s will still buzz a bit before the call is blocked
• Interface is a bit confusing and has no help file

Conclusion: iBerry Blacklist & Whitelist for BlackBerry is a great tool for managing your phone calls and blocking unwanted calls. As I said before iBerry just needs to round out the rough edges on the program and they will have a Editors Choice Award for this software. The fact that there is no help file makes this a program that take a bit to figure out but in the end it does work quite well. The price is very good for such a piece of software and I highly recommend it for people who want to get rid of unwanted calls. It was worth it just to get rid of private callers =) In a new version I am hoping iBerry adds the ability to have profiles so that you can have different Blocklists for different occasions.
