Contest: A chance to win one of 50 Free copies of Empower SMS Viewer

by Luis Merlos on Sep 4th, 2009 at 1:00 pm EST

Since the beta stages Empower SMS viewer has been one of my favorite 3rd party apps to use. Empower SMS viewer is another way to give your SMS a little bit of your own style by allowing you to customize the appearance of your SMS screen. This application lets you set your own background, adjust font styles, and if you have a picture set for you contacts it displays that as well. One of my favorite is how it displays smiley faces, and the fact that you can change the display color of incoming messages and the messages you send is another plus for me and I also like the option to hit enter to send messages.

NOTE: One thing that users wanted was a fully integrated grouping of SMS right now the application only shows SMS in a threaded manner, Ani let me know that this feature is on the works and an upgrade will be available soon that will include grouping of SMS.

Description & Features from the developer:

Empower SMS Viewer is a fully device based application that enables you to view and compose rich format SMS right inside your native SMS application. Now you can read your SMS – with Colors, Smiley’s, and Web Links in all their glory!

Fully On-device. No Setup required.
Seamless Integration with the native SMS app.
Threaded SMS view with Incoming and Outgoing SMS icons
Turn URLs into colorful web-links.
Express better with real graphic Smileys!
Quickly compose rich SMS using SMS Templates and SMS Smileys!
Customizable graphic backgrounds, use the default or choose your own!
Integrates with Quick SMS and SMS Popup apps.
Different options for font, style, headers etc.
Numerous customization option to configure it exactly the way you want.
Supported on ALL OS 4.2.1 and above!

SMS viewer is sold at both www.getempower.com and at our Berryreview store for $14.99 a trial is available

So here is the deal the contest will run until Monday at Midnight and to participate just leave a comment below, you can either tell me why you deserve a copy of this for free, or you can tell me a funny story, for example replying to the wrong message and telling somebody something you were not supposed to, I know I’ve done that before. This is just for the contest, empower is not designed to keep you from sending messages to the wrong person. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. Thanks to Empower for the contest, you can check out some of their other apps at www.getempower.com

it takes me a lot of time trying to figure out how to make “faces” using the symbols from my BlackBerry Pearl. It’s not necessarily a waste of time but sometimes when i’m in a hurry, instead of a “face”/emoticon, it seems i’m sending some hieroglyphic stuff and i don’t even know what it is!

save me, please.

I believe I deserve a free copy of Empower SMS Viewer because between my sister & girlfriend texting me roughly 4,000 text a month it’ll be easier to keep tabs on each person.

I’m currently enjoying my lovely 8900 & that would be a great addition.

Thanks Empower & BerryReview for the contest. Good luck to all!

Empower sms is great application for Blackberry heavy user like me to communicate with non-blackberry users, by the old fashion way: sms.
With Empower, sms will be seen like emails with many colors and nice features.
A license is appreciated.

Cheers.

Ok – this is pretty lame but I am turning 50 in less than a month and I’ve been told it is all over after that. So it would be great to have a nice small birthday gift for free – I never win anything

I work for State Government and sent a reoccuring meeting request to a group of people. One of the people in the group has a last name very similar to someone in another agency. I added the wrong person to the invite and the meeting was put on her calendar. She notified me that she had no idea why she was included in the meeting. I apoligized and asked her to just delete the meeting series and that should remove it from her calendar. Apparently she did know how to do this correctly because every month I get an email from her that she is still getting the message. So now I’m constantly annoyed with someone complaining about my messages. No matter how hard I try to explain how to remove it she just doesn’t get it.

I really deserve this app. I text my wife all day long and it’s the only time we get to talk. This app would make it look so much nicer when she’s texting me how i am wrong about things and how lazy I am.

LOL how funny this comes out AFTER I already mistakenly BB’d one of friends. I thought I was bb-ing my friend, but instead accidently bb’d one of our friends. And of course it was me talking about about that person. Luckily I was able to play it off. But this program would help me not bb the wrong person.

I think I deserve this app because I am ALWAYS sending the wrong text to the wrong person. I use around 7,000 text a month…so mutiple messages r coming to my phone at the same time…being able to see a threaded list of messages will help me with my mistakes

I have always though that one of the things should improve is the SMS applicattion. For example, I cann’t understand that you cann’t are your contact picture with it. I hope this great software does it!

I deserve the a free copy of Empower SMS Viewer, because this is I jus got my first blackberry ever! And have converted numerous friends over to the berry family! My goal is to eventually have almost everybody (except the annoying iphone fanboys) use blackberries! Also, i am madly passionate about my berry and have no qualms giving my berry anything it needs! including a lil bit of love.
