Should I Buy a BlackBerry Storm Now or Wait For Storm Two?

It's a tricky question to answer. Get a BlackBerry Storm 9530 today, or wait a little longer and get a Storm 9550? Temptation is a difficult thing. All I can say is watch the video below...

Updated BeejiveIM Beta 1.9.6 Released for Trackball Devices


Ran across a thread in the forums and saw that BeejiveIM has tossed out another beta update. The app is currently at version 1.9.6 and includes some cool updates this time around. There are some minor UI changes among other things, but perhaps the coolest feature is the option to have push notifications to and email address when the app is running in the backgound. The new features include:

  • file transfers via link, you can now transfer files to buddies on all IM accounts.
  • push when app running in background (see preferences in app).

  • send voice notes

  • send GPS location (if supported by phone)

  • new chat styles & background images

  • new buddy list layouts

  • improved battery life

  • overall UI redesign

  • various other bug fixes & enhancements

    The beta is available in various versions for all trackball devices (an updated Storm version is on the way) running OS 4.2 or higher.

    Free Reverie Theme for BlackBerry Bold & Curve 8900

    Reverie is about as simple as it gets. This full screen theme shows no icons on the homescreen, allowing you to fully show off your wallpaper. There is a small banner along the bottom with meters and notifiers as well as a Quicklaunch button. This is as clean as a theme can get, and I love the look of a screen with no icons. There are two versions available (with or without weather slot) and each is 100% free.

    9000 Installation:

    *Updated 9/19/09* Some font sizes reduced. Installation size reduced. Changed default wallpaper. Changed call screen backgrounds.

    *NOTE* The file name for theme has been changed since the previous version. Downloading the current version may not cause your older version to be replaced automatically.

    Reverie Bold (w/ weather slot): OTA

    Reverie Bold (w/o weather slot): OTA


    Reverie Bold BETA 9/21/09 (w/ weather slot): OTA
    Changed default wallpaper (again) to further reduce installation size. Removed wallpaper "peek" on all screens. Added outline to home screen text for better wallpaper compatibility. Resized and moved lock screen lock icon.


    To install this theme, open the OTA link that pertains to the version you want from within your BlackBerry browser. Desktop installation is not available.

    Features:

    Weather Slot
    The theme is available both with and without a slot for your weather app. To use the weather slot version, simply place your weather app in the first (top left) spot on your application screen and it will show up on the home screen.

    QuickLaunch
    QuickLaunch support is provided on all versions of the theme through the "square" button on the left hand side of the home screen's bar. You will need to have the QuickLaunch app installed in order for this feature to work.

    Verizon Pulls BlackBerry Tour Update: Version 4.7.1.53 Device Software Gets Official


    Apparently RIM has pulled the update and users are no longer getting it via Desktop Manager. Some users have experienced errors in the upgrade process so possibly this is related to RIM pulling it.
