As we told you previously, Magmic has released “The Legend Of Spyro – A New Beginning” game for general consumption. This game came out of the Vivendi partnership we told you about previously. Hopefully we will see Vivendi’s “Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail” title soon . That would sure bring back memories.
The Spyro game is about [...]

After posting Rcbjr’s instructions on how to unlock vendor themes I promised to follow up with screenshots of the available vendor themes. The screenshots below are from an 8310 and show all of the themes available at this time. The themes for the 8800 are similar and the 8100 themes are more or less smaller [...]

I have to start off this post by saying that these instructions probably do not work for the 8130. With that said Rcbjr (AKA Richard ) has kindly allowed us to republish the great instructions he posted on PinStack.com on how to unlock vendor themes. Yes these are the same instructions we referenced before but [...]

While I was at CES I came across a live demo Gracenote on a BlackBerry 8300 Curve. Most of you will have no idea what Gracenote is unless you have used it before. Gracenote is a whitelabel software company that provides software for devices to manage and identify music. Whitelabel means that they don’t sell [...]

Rating: 9/10
Editors Choice Award Winner!
Version: 1.31
Link: www.getempower.com
OTA: www.getempower.com/ota/

Recently we posted about a rant by Neil, the developer of BBSmart HTML Email Viewer, on his blog DevBerry.com. It seems that Neil is not alone. Jonathan Fisher, the developer of BlackBerry Web Shortcuts and a few freebie games, has added his thoughts to the mix.
Both of these developers are essentially making some very similar complaints. RIM has not [...]

On Tuesday I met with Nicholas Reichenbach of Magmic Games at CES. Nicholas (avatar on left) is the VP of Publishing at Magmic. He gave me the lowdown on what Magmic and bPlay have planned for us in 2008. The details are skim but it seems like Magmic is posed to take over the entertainment [...]

Not sure exactly which devices are compatible with this theme but I am sure It works on the Curve and Pearl series devices. The theme is actually quite slick and is designed by Scott Campbell the Tattoo artist. Scott is releasing a new line of decal stickers (called tattoos) for BlackBerry but I have not [...]

…and now it looks worse than it did before! Seriously will RIM ever learn? In June we mentioned how RIM had redesigned its mobile.blackberry.com site from the cool flashy homepage to a new static one. They also removed many of the free games they had previously offered and now only rotated them.

RIM is giving away copies of Holiday Midnight Pool for the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl series devices. This game seems to be Gameloft’s Holiday Midnight Pool game for the BlackBerry.
The downloads are available from the BlackBerry Owners Lounge and do not have OTA options. I never really understood RIM’s reasoning for separating their mobile site [...]
