Review: iSkin Vibes for BlackBerry Storm

cost: $29.99
Website: www.iskin.com/stormvibes
I finally caved…… Anyone who knows me I am a live and die BlackBerry guy, and ZERO iphone, or anything else that starts with an “i”. I desperately needed a body guard for my BlackBerry Storm. After doing some research I decided to go with [...]
Talk about a version jump. The team over @CrackBerry found OS 5.0.0.323 for the BlackBerry Storm which should please quite a few users. Or at least tide them over until the Storm2 is released or even announced…
Download @ Megaupload Download @ RapidShare mirror (thx Dannycat)
NOTE: Do not install this software if [...]
Considering the fact that OS 5.0 is coming to quite a few older devices this is hardly news. Still it is nice to hear a Verizon rep confirm to PhoneArena that the original Storm will be getting the same OS love as the new Storm2 when it is finally announced on Verizon. That means that [...]
Jason let me know that OS 4.7.0.167 that leaked earlier for the 9530 Storm is now officially available from Iusacell. Not sure why this is lagging so far behind in versions from the 9500 but still it is nice to see things are starting to catch up.

For those of you living on the bleeding edge OS 5.0.0.216 has made its way out for the GSM BlackBerry Storm 9500. You have to make sure to remove the internal tools once you install the new OS to your PC (if you use the first link) and the boys at BlackBerryOS are recommending you [...]
Bellshare sent us an update about their BerryScroll application. This utility adds iPhone-like finger flick scrolling to the BlackBerry Storm. They just released version 1.1 which launches the app automatically and now works globally.
From the change log:
No more manual enabling of BerryScroll on every app launch
The ‘Enable/Disable BerryScroll’ menu item now globally turns BerryScroll [...]
NOTE: THIS RELEASE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RELEASE and is harder to install since RIM has removed the EXE file from the release! You also need to have OS 5.0.0.191 install on your computer. So consider yourself warned!!!
This release has been a long time coming. The boys at BBOS just let the Storm OS 5.0.0.230 [...]
S4BB let us know that they have released an free game for Storm users. I am not a Storm user myself so I did not get a chance to play it but the game looks fun. Its a little free game where you need to navigate at least half of the shown objects into [...]
Jerry let me know that he spotted OS 4.7.0.167 for the Storm on CrackBerry Forums. This leak seems to original from another site but the boys in the forums put up their own mirror download sites. One of them kindly ripped out the RIM Tools that is included in the download. If you still [...]
It looks like A1 has gone and updated the OS for the 9500 GSM Storm. This new update is the latest I have seen so far in the 4.7 series so it should be worth a download.
Download @ A1 (First link on this page)
Please confirm in the comments if this works for you
NOTE: Don’t forget [...]
BellShare released a different kind of BlackBerry app called BerryScroll. The purpose of the app is to bring iPhone like “Flick” scrolling to the BlackBerry. In case you don’t know “Flick” scrolling is when you flick your finger up and down and the screen scrolling accelerates and then slows down. Personally I find the flick [...]
Hedone Design is back with their latest theme release called Digital. A mixture of colorful, swirly images and sleek bottom icons, Digital costs $6.99 and is available for a variety of BlackBerry devices. I am playing with the Bold version as I write this and this theme offers all the charm and swiftness that Hedone [...]
Tony from Cocky Culture is a pretty cool guy as he likes to do theme giveaways often. This latest theme is called *Prime* and is probably one of his more tamer theme styles. On the home screen you have a side hidden dock of various application names and a right side dock of 4 customizable [...]
Slacker let us know that they updated their application for the BlackBerry Storm to improve Battery life. They claim it has been improved to offer up to twice as much battery life when streaming over 3G.
Full details:
Improved battery life up to 2x (over previous versions) while streaming (Slacker has seen Storm devices playing up to [...]
Though he took a little break from theme designing, Greg over at MBCustomz seems to be back in full swing with his latest release Windows Mobile 7. A mixture of rich blue graphics and colorful icons, Windows Mobile’s home screen has a hidden dock (amount of icons varies between device) and an all around fresh [...]
Elecite’s latest theme design, called Analog, is a mixture of sharp black backgrounds and shimmery chrome accents. According to Peter, they put a lot of effort into the battery and signal meters as well as a 45 degree sliding dock with 8 customizable icons. I have not had a chance to test this theme yet [...]
It has been awhile since OS 4.7.0.164 unofficially made its debut for the the 9500 so this is a welcome upgrade. Alessio let me know about the update by Taiwan Mobile but I am not sure where it sourced from originally. It came out over the weekend while I was out on a family event [...]
N8D let me know in the comments that he followed up on his BlackBerry 8520 disassembly video with another useful video. In his latest he compares the form factors of the BlackBerry 8520 vs 8900 vs 9000 vs 9530 vs 9630 vs 8330. Its a pretty good overview if you just want to see how [...]
I got an email last night from Peter about Elecite’s latest theme release Opus. In actuality I was a little surprised as this look tends to differ from the stuff Elecite usually puts out. A rich, dark tapestry like background with an almost dual screen type concept…definitely an eye-catcher. I myself tend to like less [...]
