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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
