Our buddy Kevin over at CrackBerry spotted a new application from Google. They have created a YouTube client for the Storm that looks pretty slick. I guess they are trying to keep it on par with the iPhone in that regard. Not sure why it is only available for the Storm but hopefully Google [...]
Tashanna let me know that TeleNav is now supporting the BlackBerry Storm. You can see it showcased on the front of their website now for individuals. I can see the touchscreen being a real asset for the app so this could be really cool. The BoyGenius seems to be really digging it.

It looks like Bell Mobility is having a bit of a problem keeping these devices in stock. They got a first spurt and now they have another round in stock. Maybe Verizon nabbed the majority of RIM’s stock? Either way you got to act fast if you want one…
You can find it on Bell’s [...]
Mike over at NickleBuddy let me know about a new game they just released. It works on both trackball Berrys and the Storm but the Storm has some cooler features. You essentially need to take the marble through the maze. On the Storm you can use the built in accelerometer to move the marble. [...]
Tom let me know that the popular SnapScreen application is now compatible with the Storm. Pretty cool if you moved to the new device and were still looking for your screenshot fix.
Check it out in the store at this link. Just download the trial for the upgrade.

The guys behind the TELUS Storm party that happened last night shot me some pictures that I thought I would share. Looks like they had some fun compared to the more sedate AT&T launch parties. Keeping in RIM tradition they had a bunch of celebs there and unlike the stingy Verizon reps they ended up [...]

While we were all sleeping soundly this weekend Verizon officially released an update to the Storm 9530 OS to version 4.7.0.75. The new version is a marked improvement over the shipped version but not the best out there currently.

You can pick it up [...]

My question here is, are you prepared to swap to that carrier if it means getting hold of RIMs hottest new device ??
While browsing the Web, I ran into this article by Al Sacco where he lays out some of the tricks and shortcuts for using the Storm that he has discovered. I am not a Storm user so this tips are from his point of view, and I thought some of you might [...]
First up, it was going to be Mid-November. Then the official press release by Vodafone Australia that the Storm was delayed and will be released on 1st December. Then that got bumped to the 4th…. Latest date: 5th December. Damn, at this rate the device will be obsolete by the time it gets released…
Hey, Vodafone, [...]
I happened across this article on Silicon Alley Insider by Nicholas Carlson on the seven main reasons NY Times gadget-reviewer David Pogue hates the Blackberry Storm. I haven’t played with the Storm yet and probably won’t soon because I am more of the keyboard type. However, if you were thinking of getting one, perhaps this [...]
