RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 (Verizon Wireless)

The new BlackBerry Tour 9630 is a remix of many of the best BlackBerry features on the market today packed into beautiful hardware. It's the benchmark for business smartphones, as well as being an excellent music player and a terrific tool for social networking. My unit was a little buggy, but the Tour is still the best smartphone on Verizon Wireless.

BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 (Verizon Wireless)

A bit bulky and a bit late, the BlackBerry 8230 Pearl Flip solves a problem that didn't need solving at all. It was sensible for RIM to think that people like flip phones and people like BlackBerries, so a flip BlackBerry would be a winner. But in the nine months since it was announced, slab-style smart phones and full-QWERTY texting phones have been so relentlessly successful, it's clear there's no need for this slightly awkward design.

Use Your Blackberry's Email to Update Twitter

There's a lot of ways to update twitter using your blackberry; install a twitter client, open twitter mobile in your browser, update via email. The 3rd one is an option people often forget or even think is possible.

Your Blackberry is made for email, why not make updates or even uploads via email. I'm a big fan of this concept and I continuously look for companies that offer these services.

One company that stood out is called Posterous. Their services enables you to update your twitter account by simply sending them an email to update twitter. You can just write your post on the subject line of your email and that's it. Posterous even shortens the links in your post. Using posterous you never have to install any clients or have to browse their mobile version that takes time to load. Currently Posterous support uploads to Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr or post updates to blogs using blogger and wordpress.

Blackberry Blogging Clients Freeware

Wordpress Blogging App



When I saw early developments on a Wordpress client for the Blackberry, I was instantly very excited. Although I'm a loyal Blogger user, I do have some sites that run on wordpress and even some forums running on bbpress.

The idea of updating my site on my Blackberry always seems to make sense to me.The blackberry is just the perfect phone for typing something. Who else spends more time on perfecting their keypad designs but RIM.

Going back to the Wordpress client, the moment you install it on your phone, you will have to setup your hosting details, either your hosted on a wordpress domain or your you have Wordpress installed on your domain. Setup is very easy and straight forward, enter your URL, username and password.

After this you can now compose new post and even upload pictures. The client also has some handy comment moderation, so now you can through them where ever you may be.

Overall the wordpress client works great I do notice it to be a bit slower on the Pearl and the Curve compared to Bold. It works great on the Storm and I love the landscape mode.

Blackberry Facebook App Freeware

Blackberry Facebook 1.6



Facebook 1.6 is finally out! I've been waiting for this app for long time and I'm happy to say it was worth it. I'm so relieved they got over 1.5 and did something cool with their app like being able to write on the wall and getting it more integrated with the Blackberry environment. The strength of the Blackberry has always been their push technology, making a software that takes advantage of this is the right way to go.
Facebook 1.6 really feels solid and very stable on my Blackberry Bold and Curve. The notifications you get directly in your home screen is just great. New features like being able to see comments people made with your friends status updates is really handy and enables you to participate in the discussion faster that opening up facebook in your PC. Facebook 1.6 is a great addition to your phone, its around 800k but its worth the download.

Evernote

Evernote which I consider as the best cross-platform notebook application in the world has finally arrived on the Blackberry. Through the years the developers of Evernote have rolled out some great changes in Evernote , making it more just about making notes. At this moment you an create web clips, audio notes, capture images and even twitter messages ( have to figure that out ). Since Evernote strives to be a cross-platform application you can sync all of your information from your PC, Mac, Iphone and now your Blackberry. I just love the fact your not limited to one machine making it easy to get access to your data where ever you may be.

Listening to an interview with an Evernote executive saying they are working hard to make their application your second brain which make me even more excited that its now available for the Blackberry.

Blackberry App World




Its finally here! Blackberry just release Blackberry App World. You can now easily install applications or software straight from your Blackberry phone. This includes purchasing paid applications from your phone and some free ones. All payments are processed by Paypal, which I think is very smart since its easier to keep track of what you buy instead of being billed by your carrier in the end of the month.

Inside the app store you can write and read reviews of different applications. I love the section where you can see what applications you have purchased as well as see what you have installed. Overall the Blackberry App World is what I expected it to be, RIM did a great job on the UI ( User Interface ) making it simple for any Blackberry owner to use. In future devices Blackberry App World pre-installed.
But there's one big concern I have on the initial roll out of Blackberry App World, right now its only available to certain regions ( USA, Canada and UK ). I know a lot of people are waiting around the world get this ( Germany, Spain, Australia). I hope in the comming weeks we'll get some news whens its available worldwide.

Blackberry Streaming Radio Freeware 2009

Pandora - Blackberry App

I'm a big fan of Pandora for years. I was really excited I could finally install it on my Blackberry. If you haven't experience Pandora its an Internet radio streaming service thats recommends music similar to yout choices of songs or artist you have chossen. Through this system you can create your own stations with Pandora making the playlist. It also has a feedback button so you can improve its system of choosing songs. The whole concept of Pandora is so original there's no other service that comes close to it. Pandora has made my Internet radio listening a whole new experience.

Installing the software is fast and the sound quality is good. I love the fact you can use your wifi connection instead of your wireless carrier. Pandora for the Blackberry is quick, small and doen't seem to slow down my phone. It currently does not support the Storm but that should change soon.

Flycast FM - Streaming Radio

I started using Flycast and was instantly impress with the huge selection of programming. You get music, talk, news, sports, weather, traffic and even some special broadcast of events. I love the face I can just use flycast even when I'm outside the country. A big difference to Pandora which restricts you to the US, I know it was all about regulations.
But I'm happy to say Flycast's selections are huge you can get all kinds of genres from rock, alternative, country, classical and much more. In terms of quality its comparable to Pandora and using WIFI you get uninterruptible Internet radio. Using your own carrier all depends on the strenght of the signal.

Overall Flycast is a great service and a welcome to all blackberry users outside the US or even to International travellers.
