The Blackberry Bold 9700 & Blackberry 9000 Review

Writing an ebook on a Bold 9700 or Bold 9000

Written by sonic on January 12, 2010 – 7:04 pm -

Any new years resolutions for 2010?

Perhaps one was to write an ebook? I have the killer app you should consider owning that won’t cost the price of a 300 word article but could save you all the time in the world…

What if you could utilize that 5 minutes in the car waiting for someone or that 15 minute walk to create an ebook and sell it online? But typing on a bberry aint your thing right?

After buying a voice recorder, and forgetting it at home. After buying a laptop, an organizer and a palm pilot… perhaps even a netbook… this concept could be your 2010 life saver!

Dictate to your email until you save up enough emails to convert it to a word document!

Bejeweled for the Bold 9700

Written by sonic on January 11, 2010 – 11:11 pm -

Easily argued as one of the best games to play with a trackpad.. Bejeweled gives some kind of strange and sickly twisted rush when casually flicking the track pad from right to left as you complete a series of 3 shapes. Not only does it flow so nice and sweetly, but it’s a great way to pass the time and won’t leave you frustrated and upset at yourself due to the lack of control that a non-trackball device can sometimes leave you.

I genuinely believe that Bejeweled may very well be the best Bold 9700 game on the market at the moment. It’s one of the few worth paying for. The arcade modes, the advanced levels and the graphics even look better on the Bold 9700 version than on the iPhone version. (iPhone version pictured to the right..).

They have the OTA option there too via SMS to most carriers.

Share Blackberry Internet With Your Laptop – 50% Off

Written by admin on January 8, 2010 – 4:07 pm -

Probably one of the most useful pieces of software available for the Blackberry Smartphone today is the Tetherberry software… Which this week got re-branded to just “tether” due to it’s arrival in the Blackberry App World store.

There’s all kinds of controversy over this app, because apps similar to it aren’t allowed in the Apple store and I imagine the Droid app store has the same song and dance… Whatever the case may be, it’s on at 50% off from now until January 10th, 2010. You really should take advantage of this… Because $24.98 for a $50 program is a good deal – and it was even too rich for my blood until they announced this…

What’s is “tethering” anyway?

Tethering is where you connect your Blackberry via USB to your laptop and use it’s internet connection. If you get an unlimited internet plan from your cell phone provider – this is essentially free internet wherever there’s a signal. If your provider gives you 1GB per month or similar (..and your probably finding your not using it all anyway) you can tap into that for quick email checks and save paying Starbucks any cash.

This works with any provider.. but some require a different config than others, but this software very much simplifies the whole process. This entire process can work easily with a mac or a PC, with windows 7, windows 98, windows 2000, even a server your troubleshooting somewhere that needs a patch or an update… Just brilliant! It’s your swiss army knife, and $25 could easily save your bacon one day even if you don’t need it today…

ATT & TMobile Go Head To Head on Amazon

Written by sonic on January 8, 2010 – 3:36 pm -

What surprises me that ATT & Tmobile are both offering the phone at the current moment for the same price, $49.99. What’s different is that AT&T seem to offer their services at a minimum of $45.00 per month – and Tmobile is offering theirs at $39 unlimited… Tmobile seems to have a simpler easier to understand packages and plans and AT&T is a challenge to read up on to know what your getting with all their provisos and extras.

Keep your eye out on these though, I noticed before the holidays, AT&T was offering theirs up for a buck with signup… but truthfully, what good is a buck of the dataplan sucks?

Crackberry Wallpaper Maker For Blackberries

Written by admin on December 16, 2009 – 11:47 am -

There’s a totally free tool out there on Crackberry that lets you create your own wallpapers really super easy (if you know how to use it).

Did you know this thing existed?

This tool sadly, is very frustrating initially, but once you understand how it works (And their instructions are very vague) it’s really a blessing!

Here’s the gyst.. Select a high resolution graphic you want as your wallpaper, upload it and go to the next screen. Here you’re presented with a grey box with your graphic inside it. Check the checkbox below that says “keep aspect ratio” or otherwise the graphic will squish or squeeze to the wrong proportions and look weird.

Then, play with your zoom level to get the right size you’re looking for… And finally, double click in the middle of the graphic and line up the rectangular outline you can see displayed over your picture until it outlines the background you wish to have. Pretty cool eh?

Visit the Tool Here.

Bold 9700 – Warning before .351 Upgrade

Written by admin on December 3, 2009 – 1:42 pm -

I’m on rogers wireless and just this morning, while syncing up with my blackberry via the Desktop Manager to upload those christmas wallpapers I shared here, I got prompted for an upgrade…

Since doing that upgrade, Gmail needed it’s user/pass re-entered… Ah so what.

But.. I went to check all my news sources via Viigo My most favorite blackberry program, and boom! It shut off radio (Wifi/Edge/3G) and froze! I gave it a few minutes but no dice…

Then I rebooted and was surfing around and thought, ah I still wanna check the news, so I hit up Viigo again! Froze… this time just plain froze up… Gave it about 10 minutes and again no dice!

I’ll try re-installing Viigo now but if that doesn’t work I’m going to be trying to find some way to go back to the old OS 5.0 it shipped with because I need my news!
