I love BlackBerry Messenger. I use it all day to talk to family and friends. But not all my friends have a BlackBerry. Just not talking to those people seems simple (and logical) enough, but I can’t do that, so what do I do? Enter WhatsApp, the most potentially useful, cross-platform, communication app I’ve seen [...]

For some reason the BlackBerry OS still does not give you the freedom to edit original information when forwarding or replying from the native email application. Forward Reply & Edit makes these options available to you. Once installed and activated, you can just simply click the menu key when highlighting an email or from within the message, and [...]

Do you have a large computer monitor that you’d like to be able to control from a bit of a distance? Is your PC perhaps connected to your TV? Both of those questions are true in my case, which is why I’ve been using Mobimouse for about 2 years now. Mobimouse is an app that [...]

While my earlier solution for running with your GPS-enabled BlackBerry meets all my needs as far as tracking goes, there is still something to be desired regarding the interface and usability features. Today I gave the application FootNotes a test run to see how it sizes up against my previous method.

Bolt 2.1 Changelog: - Support for Tabbed browsing - Facebook integration - [...]

It’s going to be mighty difficult to write a review for Icebird. This Twitter app looks great, runs powerfully smooth, and is fully featured. BUT!, on all bases, it just doesn’t compare to Twitter’s newly crowned official application. I started using Icebird for about a week or two before the Tweetie 2 flip and I [...]

Quickpull has been one of the most downloaded apps in BlackBerry’s App World for a long time running and many times BlackBerry users take a lot of heat for the app even being necessary. Put simply, Quickpull is a free application that allows you to schedule your BlackBerry to reboot itself. Most BlackBerry users are [...]

I was surfing through App World last night and happened to come across RCP Tones Business Edition. If you read my editorial last week, “What’s Your Favorite BlackBerry Alert?” you can see I have been looking for some BlackBerry-esque alerts, so I figured I’d give this app a shot.

I, like many smartphone users, belong to many social networks. I’m not nearly important enough to demand instant updates for the networks I subscribe to, but at the very least, I’ll know exactly how unpopular I am. Yes yes, I don’t get wall posts or @replies often, so when I do, I’d like to know [...]
