Get your MAC on!!

The MacinStorm Theme from PimpMyBerry is available for the Storm series only!! This will give your Berry the Mac touch. There's the typical Mac dock at the bottom of your screen, and applications found on it will even bounce when selected. Instead of the default hourglass while the device is processing, the Mac 'beach ball' animation has been integrated to give the theme just one more touch of authenticity.

You can register at PimpMyBerry to obtain the download link.

Close applications for a faster BlackBerry

There are two really quick ways to close out applications which might be taking up memory and bandwidth. First is to just click on the application, then once in it hit the Menu button and close. I’ve been trying to make a habit of closing out unused applications, so hopefully this isn’t as big a problem in the future. The other is to hit Menu in the Applications Menu, and select Switch Application. That should give you a list of running applications. Close out as many as you possibly can.

Of course, if you don’t have any signal-gathering applications open, you might be stuck with a choppy stream. But if you have them open and aren’t getting optimal streaming strength, close out all those other applications and see if it helps.

Verizon Wireless releases “My Verizon” application for BlackBerry handsets

BlackBerry users on Big Red can now keep a leg up on their phone usage using Verizon’s latest BlackBerry application. Available for the Curve 8330, Pearl 8130 and 8830 World Edition, the My Verizon application allows users to check their minutes and data usage, view account balance, make payments, view plan, add/remove features and change their voicemail passwords directly on the handset. The application is available as an OTA download from the default Verizon BlackBerry browser homepage — http://mobile.vzwapp.com for those that have changed it. Unfortunately, Storm owners can skip this application as it is apparently compatible with trackball-sporting BlackBerry handsets only.

Leaked: OS 4.7.0.132 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530!

Here goes another one. At this point, i'm getting alil bit tired of the new Leaks every week. This morning, I was contemplating on upgrading to LYRICIDAL .131/5.0.0.90 Hybrid (.122 Radio) version but i haven't really read any great reviews on it. Alot of people have had problems loading the latest OS version. Now i find that a new OS has been leaked, 4.7.0.132 for the Storm 9530. If the link gets pulled, be sure to go to the forum thread for more download mirrors, etc. posted by users. Be sure to read OS 4.7.0.132 Findings and Fixes Thread to see what people have to say about the New OS.

As for me, DataBoy, I'm sticking with what i have 9530 OS .122/5.0.0.90[9000] Hybrid (BETA). I will continue researching and tell everyone when i take the jump to the new OS.

*****OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software.****
