I happened to be looking for a good case for my Bold and ran across some new official 8220 accessories set to be released on October 6th. I wonder if that is set to coincide with a carrier launch…

DreamBerrys do come true. About a week ago I posted a DreamBerry about a very specific problem. When you get a call from a number that is not in your address book and you add it to your address book it always saves the number as a work number. Maybe this is a carryover [...]

Paul just let me know about their latest release: Resident Evil: Genesis for BlackBerry. Can’t really tell how good the gameplay is but it kind of reminds me of Street Tactics and Call Of Duty [...]

With the pitiful effort that RIM has put into Mac support I applaud the Barry team for paving their own way with Linux support for their Berrys. Josep let me know that Barry has released version 0.14 which fixes a couple of bugs that had come up. This is totally still a work in progress [...]

Tom just let me know that SBSH has just released their first application for BlackBerry. Tom has been part of the beta test for SafeWallet and he came away impressed so this could be interesting. SafeWallet is essentially a secure storage application for your private information. Kind of like CryptMagic, SplashWallet, & Ascendo Datavault. You [...]

Real Networks has busted into BlackBerry gaming with the release of South Park Imaginationland for BlackBerry. I did not think South Park would ever make it on to the formerly conservative BlackBerry. The game mostly focuses on Butters based on his Imaginationland Trilogy so it might not be all about the usual characters. Sadly in [...]

Peter just let me know that eVeek has just made their 4 premium themes for OS 4.2 & 4.3 free for all. Pretty cool if I may say so myself. These themes are not groundbreaking but I know a few people who are sporting them with pride. This is not a limited time offer so [...]
