Review & Contest: SmartestCover – “Feel” Your Storm Keyboard

17 Comments »

Review: SmartestCover
Rating:
Edit: Accuracy was improved while typing. The cover did not make my typing any faster but I did noticed that I was making fewer mistakes. I had chosen to use the Landscape cover for my typing because I became accustomed to Qwerty typing from my 8820.
The keyboard on the Storm is kind of [...]

So here I am, a month or so into my ownership of the Storm (the booing can cease now, thanks! ) and I have yet to purchase a decent case to protect it. I have to say that I love my Storm and no one is allowed to [...]

VCast Song ID from Verizon for Storm

While perusing the PinStack forums, I ran across a post by Krazy Kat. It just happened to be a download link for Verizon’s VCast Song ID for the Storm. I downloaded and tested it out and it works really well with my Storm on T-Mobile. I guess they really are not keeping tight control on [...]

StopTilt – Disable Your Storm’s AutoTilt Feature

8 Comments »

Rating:
One thing I cannot stand is how RIM is continuously missing the small things when it comes to building the dream OS for our precious BlackBerrys. For instance, a lot of people have been getting irritated of the Storm’s autotilt feature. Disabling and enabling should be a NATIVE feature in the Storm’s OS but [...]

I have learned 2 things while owning a BlackBerry. As a BlackBerry addict, I have come to the conclusion that my precious 8120 needs to be protected at all times (&^%$, another darn scratch. Hurry! Find my soft towel! It needs to be buffed!). As a mother, I have come to the conclusion that [...]

Review: Freedom Keychain GPS 2000

4 Comments »

Like most 8120 owners, I love my WIFI, but I was bummed at not having GPS like the 8110. GPS is a big deal since I like to travel. But I’ve noticed that most receivers can be bulky and remembering to grab it can be rather cumbersome. So when the opportunity came up to review [...]
