The main reasons to unlock your BlackBerry have been repeated over and over: avoid roaming fees, increase resale value, use your BB with the carrier of your choice. I'm interested to know people's stories of why they decided to unlock their BlackBerry and if they've experienced any benefit/downside it. If unlocking your BlackBerry has been helpful to you in anyway, please let us know about it!

Tashanna let me know that Ascendo has released version 4.5 of their popular DataVault application. This version adds: <ul> <li>Full support for Storm touch screen. Use finger swipe to scroll list, screen tap to select, column re-ordering by tapping on header, column resizing by holding down finger on header and sliding borders left or right.  </li> <li>Implemented double-click to Edit record in DataVault Desktop Tree View. </li> <li>Support for Firefox version 3.5; auto-fill web forms, save web forms, generate passwords with DataVault Browser Toolbar. </li> <li>Increased size of item icons and folders, improved buttons, app icon, background image, etc. </li> </ul> The only annoying part is that Ascendo added synchronization over Wi-Fi for the iPhone OS and not for the BlackBerry. A feature like that, or better yet secure OTA sync, would really make me finally switch over to DataVault or <a href="http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=7589&n=SplashID-for-BlackBerry" rel="nofollow">SplashID</a>.

The game is quite fun and very similar to the iPhone game that is quite popular. The only downside is that the iPhone game is dirt cheap while the Storm version is <a href="http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=28565#" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$4.99 on sale until May 3rd after which it jumps up to $9.99</a>. I guess paying over 5 times as much is just part of owning a BlackBerry… On the other hand the game is quite addictive and really starts to show off how gaming can be different on the Storm. You need to keep on specifying flight paths for planes coming in so they don’t crash using gestures. It works quite well and had me impressed. You can <a href="http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=28565#" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">find it in the store are this link</a> but sadly there is no free trial. There is a video of the game below which can give you an idea of the game play but is not the same as a free trial. <object width="http://www.berryreview.co/480" height="385" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/yejbPME7KdY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="http://www.berryreview.co/application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="http://www.berryreview.co/allowFullScreen" value="http://www.berryreview.co/true" /><param name="http://www.berryreview.co/allowscriptaccess" value="http://www.berryreview.co/always" /><param name="http://www.berryreview.co/src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yejbPME7KdY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" /><param name="http://www.berryreview.co/allowfullscreen" value="http://www.berryreview.co/true" /></object> <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2009/04/27/fun-air-traffic-control-storm-game-from-mobigloo/" rel="nofollow">Fun Air Traffic Control Storm Game from Mobigloo</a> Ronen Halevy on "Slacker Optimized for BlackBerry Storm – 2x Improved Battery Life" http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/slacker-optimized-for-blackberry-storm-ndash-2x-improved-battery-life#post-1444 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:31:32 +0000 Ronen Halevy 1444@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ Slacker let us know that they updated their application for the BlackBerry Storm to improve Battery life.

I used to play it back in the day on Windows 3.11 when I was really bored. Tafasa let me know that they have released Reversi for the BlackBerry Storm. It is a classic strategy game that is easy to pick up but hard to win. The game is <a href="http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=33772" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">on sale now for 99 Cents until July 31st after which it goes up to $2.99</a>. All in all a pretty good game for a great price. I am a big fan of strategy games on my BlackBerry since they are easy to pause and continue between meetings or while waiting for my wife at Macy’s. <img src='http://www.berryreview.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='http://www.berryreview.co/wp-admin/wp-smiley' /> Sadly like all Tafasa games this is Storm only… From <a href="http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=33772" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the product description</a>: Reversi, also known as Othello, is the fun and famous strategy board game that is easy to play, but hard to truly master. Now the game is available on your BlackBerry so you can play everywhere! The game provides 5 different computer difficulty levels to challenge all people regardless of experience or skill. You can also challenge your friends in a 2-player match to see who is the real champion. This fun, animated and graphical game is easy to use and will keep you entertained for hours. <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2009/07/27/reversi-aka-othello-comes-to-the-blackberry-storm-99-cents/" rel="nofollow">Reversi (aka Othello) Comes to the BlackBerry Storm – 99 Cents!</a> the BerryReview Team on "HOT! 9530 Storm OS 5.0.0.140 Found Online!" http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/hot-9530-storm-os-500140-found-online#post-240 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:15:00 +0000 the BerryReview Team 240@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <img style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px" height="162" alt="" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/image-thumb.png" width="http://www.berryreview.co/109" align="left" />I got two emails from Joe & Hudss about OS 5.0.0.140 leaking for the 9530 Storm.
