Cocky Culture has a variety of themes, very unique and very original. We’ve posted the review of Conquest, which is a fave of mine.  The theme I’m reviewing is Rocker Chic. The theme is very rock styled and classic. And there couldn’t be a better time for a new theme, especially with the fifty percent sale!

Introducing the BlackBerry Tour Commuter Series from OtterBox

By James on Sep 10, 2009 in Accessories, BlackBerry, Tour 9600 Series.

rbb4-9600s-20-c5otr.1

Our friends at OtterBox have just introduced their latest case designed for the BlackBerry Tour. The new Commuter Case is a cross between OtterBox’s current Impact Skin and the heavy duty Defender Case. The Commuter series includes three layers of protection, the first being the screen protector, followed by the polycarbonate shell, and last the silicon skin. Starting today they are available from OtterBox for only $35, and should be arriving in the BBSync Store soon.

The OtterBox Commuter™ Series case for the BlackBerry® Tour™ 9600 Series offers the best of both worlds; incorporating elements from the rugged Defender™ Series line with the silicone, skin-like Impact™ Series line to create a slick case designed with your style in mind. It’s protection without the bulk. The exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from the device for additional bump and shock protection and the smooth outer layer allows the case to easily slide into your pocket or purse. All buttons are fully functional through the case and the audio jack and USB port are accessible through silicone plugs.

OS Alert: BlackBerry Tour 9630 OS 4.7.1.42 Leaked!

By James on Sep 08, 2009 in Beta, BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Downloads, Tour 9600 Series.

blackberry-tour

We just got word that OS 4.7.1.42 has been leaked for the BlackBerry Tour. If you remember, a few weeks ago we heard .42 was the stable OS that Verizon was planning to launch. This is a RIM internal copy, therefore before installing you must uninstall the RIM internal apps, which gets installed during the installation process. We aren’t sure what .42 fixes yet, however early reports so it DOES stop those annoying screen freezes. If you have installed this OS please post a comment below and let us know how it works…

Review: OtterBox Impact Series Case for BlackBerry Tour 9630

By James on Sep 02, 2009 in Accessories, BlackBerry, BlackBerry Sync Store, Tour 9600 Series.

otterbox-impact-screenshot

If you’ve ever looked at OtterBox cases in the past, you generally think of heavy duty and a little more bulky cases. Well today I’m showing you the Impact Case for the BlackBerry Tour 9600 series. OtterBox offers three different types of BlackBerry cases: Defender and Commuter Series, followed by the Impact series. Depending on how you’re looking to protect your phone the Impact skin does offer the most value for your dollar.

Think of the Impact Case as a tough and rugged version on RIM’s silicon skin. It features an all around wrap design with a bonus screen protector in box. Now unfortunately the Impact skin/case does not include a belt clip, and is a little too big to use in the stock case found in box. The Impact Case does however make a great pocket case.

Pros: More protection than more skins, great wrap around protection, extremely affordable!

Cons: No belt clip

Conclusion: My final thoughts on the OtterBox Impact Case is nothing but positive. I have switched from using a normal RIM “tough skin” to the Impact Skin by OtterBox, and have zero complaints. The overall fit is way better than any skin I’ve seen currently available for the Tour. I recommend you check out this case, if you’re looking for something to protect your device, without the huge added bulk of similar OtterBox products.

Where to Buy: Normally the OtterBox Impact Case for the Tour 9630 retails at $19.95 from OtterBox. Luckily the BBSync Store currently has them on sale for $17.95!

Rating: ★★★★★

He claims that RIM is currently working on a new model code-named Essex, which features both Wi-Fi and RIM’s new trackpad.

Unfortunately no other details have been released just yet, but you can expect its going to be quite sweet! Stay tuned for more details when we get them…

Pacman BB

Great news for Pacman lovers! BlackBerry OS announced a free version of Pacman for the BlackBerry. And I have to admit, it’s just like the arcade version. It comes complete with a high score list, mp3 sounds, and support for trackball and keyboard. It’s available for the Tour on down to the Pearl, but unfortunately the Storm is not included.
