I know that this is not a BlackBerry tool but I decided to mention it anyway. Quite a few themes and applications are released in a .zip format making a free unzip utility a must have. Especially when users start running into the more commonly found .RAR & .7z extensions for compressed archives.
The one [...]

I am not sure how we missed this application, but we are human. Thanks to Frank for bringing it to our attention. Turns out that a small developer, Orion North America, released an application that essentially lets you set a popup email notifier that will let you know when you get an email while [...]

I don’t know how this flew under the radar but Ed @ Brighthand managed to catch it. We mentioned the Agendus for BlackBerry beta back in July but the full version has now been released to very little aplomb. Iambic really needs to do some PR & advertising. The application looks stunningly well designed [...]

Last week MyPoynt updated their application for the Bold with some new features and an cool new user interface. Tom let me know that the UI changes have now made their way to non-Bold devices with the release of v0.9.6. They also added some new options for mapping multiple results in Google Maps. This application [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

YouGetItBack is one of those applications that helps you protect your device and information if it gets into the wrong hands. They had a pretty impressive feature set until now but they have just beefed it up. I also happen to love the product logo :).
New features include:

PIN lock / unlock – The user [...]

I am glad to see that BBRTM is now back under active development according to the developer. He has just announced on his website that version 0.2 has been released. BBRTM is an unofficial free Remember The Milk client in case you did not know. Nothing crazy new here since this is mostly backend fixes [...]

Sara sent in this application which has a simple purpose. It lets turn on and keep on the backlight in certain applications. You just specify an application name like messages or Viigo and it will keep the backlight on when that application is open. You can also set the brightness or have it left [...]
