Bellshare let me know about a new application, BerryPopup, that they just released. BerryPopup is yet another email/SMS popup application that looks quite good. On the other hand this application solution space is getting a bit crowded already… BerryPopup does look really nice though and options are good in case you don’t like one of [...]

BeFTP is essentially a free FTP client created by the find developers at BEIKS. The program has quite a bit of functionality but it has some limitations in its free version. The main limitation is that it will not remember your connection information after you close the application. This makes the free version good [...]

A bit back we mentioned SaveNumberAs as a solution to our DreamBerry which let you save a number to an existing contact. I searched and it looks like the product is no longer available for sale. (Let me know if that is right) MobiChampion seems to have stepped into the void with their new [...]

Tom let me know that the popular BBFileScout file manager has been updated yet again.

I have to preface this by saying that I don’t know much about the BlackBerry dictation market. From what I can tell you could easily use the voice recorder on newer devices and email the audio file to the transcription service of your choosing or just your secretary.

Mbpyro over at HowardForums spotted a new My Verizon application from Verizon Wireless. It lets you manage your Verizon Wireless account from your BlackBerry which is pretty cool. The sad part is that it looks like it only supports the 8130, 8330, & 8830 leaving Verizon’s flagship BlackBerry Storm out instead of “IN”. Maybe [...]

I just found this nice article at BlackBerry Cool about an application called Adorno! MultiAlarm Pro. They have a thorough review, really worth reading if you like alarm applications and think that no, the stock BlackBerry alarm application just doesn’t cut it.
Adorno! MultiAlarm Pro has many features, like recurrence, configurable sounds, snooze, vibrator and a [...]

BBFileScout is one great free application, and it’s updated so often it’s almost getting boring. And the change log is quite an example to most of the other BlackBerry applications. This time, it has better search capabilities and a few other minor improvements. Actually, version 0.6 brought the better search capabilities a few days ago. [...]

So what’s on your mind? We often don’t know what’s on our own mind, or rather we do, but there is so much going on that we fail to manage it adequately. So in this day and age people have come up with the concept of “mind maps”, idea charts that help you keep tabs [...]

I’ve always wanted the ability to edit email that I forward from my BlackBerry and was never sure why this wasn’t a feature already on RIM’s OS.
In that spirit, I have decided to try Mobile Imagination’s: Forward with Edit™. It’s a teeny app that hardly takes up any space on your BlackBerry and the only [...]

VR+ has been one of my all-time favorite BlackBerry applications for a long time. Perhaps you have read the review I wrote one year ago. If you haven’t, I think you should. I think it’s very, very useful because it takes mobile texting communication one step further: by sending voice messages instead of text. Why [...]
