BlackBerry Storm 2 with Wi-Fi coming to Verizon this September?

blackberry-storm-sidebyside

Honestly I can not see them upgrading the Storm just yet when they haven’t even perfected the current one. A new rumor is floating around (via Slashgear) that RIM and Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 2 later this year with Wi-Fi capabilities. It’s no lie that both RIM and its parterned carriers have been tormented because of the lack of Wi-FI but I just can not see them putting a CDMA + GSM + Wi-Fi into the same unit. It just sounds fishy. Anyway take this rumor with a grain of salt but it might be nice if it were true.

Flight Path – Free BlackBerry Storm Game to Kill Time…

flight-pathscreenshot_1

A new game for the BlackBerry Storm has hit our store and its free! It’s a very simple game but it might keep you entertained for at least a few minutes. Flight Path takes advantage of the Storm’s accelerometer meaning when you move your Storm the plane moves. Anyways if your looking for a little game to kill some time this could be it! Download it for free from The BlackBerry Sync Store.

Are you ready to put yourself in the pilot’s seat? The goal of the game is to fly your plane through the center of the rings coming at you. You get points for every ring you fly through, and the closer you get to the center of the ring, the more points you get. When you fly through a ring, you will be evaluated on a scale of Perfect, Good and Sloppy. Get a lot of Perfects or Goods in a row, and you will build up your score multiplier which will give you even more points! It’s not that easy though, because the game ends once you miss three rings. There’s also another catch. The rings keep getting smaller the longer you fly! To fly, hold the BlackBerry like a steering wheel and rotate left and right. The more you rotate, the faster your plane will turn. How high of a score can you get?

OS Alert: BlackBerry Storm 9530 OS 4.7.0.113 leaked

Finally a new BlackBerry Storm OS has been leaked online. I’m a few hours late posting it because I was waiting to check and see if this was a RIM sourced one or someones hybrid copy. Orginally when we showed you the Storm’s new selection tool that was included in the 4.7.0.113 we had obtained. So we believe that this is the real deal and has been leaked from RIM. Now we don’t recommend you install this OS unless you have previous experience installing beta leaked operating systems. But if you feel like you really want to test out this OS (which we give 4/5 stars) then follow the link below. Please just be sure to do a full backup before installing it.

Download OS 4.7.0.113 for the Storm 9530 >

Anyone else here using this OS?

Another hands-on BlackBerry Niagara 9630 Preview from BGR

Seems everyone wants to get in on the BlackBerry Niagara party! Boy Genius got his hands on the un-released BlackBerry 9630 “Niagara”. Apparently his software is very buggy like the others we have seen online but overall he seems to be fairly impressed with the 9360’s hardware. Here is what Boy Genius had to say:

  • Best BlackBerry keyboard. Ever.
  • Best BlackBerry speakers. Ever.
  • Best screen. Ever. (It looks more like glass than crappy plastic)
  • Best size/feel. Ever.

With comments like that it makes me even more excited to see a more official device! Anyways stay tuned for a full review coming from both Kevin at CrackBerry and The Boy Genius… Enjoy the pics for now.

WeatherEye App now supports BlackBerry Storm!!

WeatherEye for Storm

I’ve always been a fan of the WeatherEye application for BlackBerry and now its finally got BlackBerry Storm support. Previously the WeatherEye application was only designed for devices with trackballs. You could still use the app with the Storm, however it didn’t work well. Anyways Plemorex has finally released the new version 1.1.1.6 which looks more like the iPhone’s WeatherEye app and gives full touch support for the Storm. You can download it by pointing your BlackBerry browser to blackberry.theweathernetwork.com or visit this link on your desktop.

Anyways we’ve attached some screen shots for you to check out… If you haven’t installed this app yet. Do it!!
