Kelly let me know about this interesting new application for the Storm. Many users are pissed off that they cannot record calls on their BlackBerry. I know it is illegal without notifying the other party but as far as I know that is only if you want to admit it into court. What happens [...]

The first thought I had when I saw a picture of the iSkin Vibes and Vibes FX cases is that these are loud cases for the total attention lover. People will be asking you what you did with your phone. They are shiny, flashy, and come in the most attention grabbing colors. Just look at [...]

When I saw this theme in the store, I immediately hopped on it to give it a try. I love Rocker Chic (made by Cocky Culture) because of it’s rock and roll design with edgy accents. Theme looks awesome on my Bold and runs extremely smooth. There are other ‘edgy’ themes from this designer in [...]

ProOnGo let me know about their current free public beta. They allow you to take pictures of your receipts and upload them to their service for later access.

Personally I am a bigger fan of a screensaver along the lines of “forget the dog, beware of owner” but this free app from Fabian does the trick. bWatchDoggy lets you set your BlackBerry to bark if somebody picks it up after it idles for 3 seconds. This could get really annoying if it is [...]
