First look at BlackBerry Application Center

By James on Oct 06, 2008 in BlackBerry, Featured News, RIM, Rumors, Software, Storm 9500 Series.

Wow what a crazy weekend this has been for the BlackBerry world. First we’ve seen a ton of leaks for the BlackBerry Storm and now its the BlackBerry Application Center to go along with the Storm. This will be RIM’s shot at Apple’s App Store for their iPhone. You will be able to download tons of applications designed for your BlackBerry Storm with a few simple clicks…

Features list of the BlackBerry Application Center:

  • The Application Center will be available on 4.7 Storm devices and will be designed for the Storm touch screen UI.
  • Carriers will be responsible for hosting the application data and sending updates to the directory to RIM.
  • The main application screen will provide the user with a list of all applications that are available for install from the particular carrier for the specific device model and OS version. Incompatible applications will not be displayed.
  • The main screen will provide the user the ability to quickly browse the application list, then view the available information about each application in a detailed description screen which shows the logo and full description. Installation will occur with one click (launches the web browser).
  • The user will be able to access the Options > Applications screen from within the App Center (allowing the user to delete applications directly from within the App Center).
  • The user will be provided with various status info: date the app list was most recently updated; notification that updates are available; option to reapplication list was completed, etc.
  • Since the download and installation will be handled by the browser in this first release, the Application Center will not be capable of restarting the application / download intelligently.
  • The Application Center will automatically check for updates daily.

Win a BlackBerry Storm from Vodafone!

By James on Oct 01, 2008 in BlackBerry, International Networks, Storm 9500 Series.

Vodafone has launched their coming soon page with a pre-register to get notified when the Storm is released. Not only that but you can also register to win yourself a shinny new Storm 9500 from them. Although it doesn’t state it I would think this contest is open to residents of the U.K. only.

Check out their coming soon page to register! >>

Are Telus and Bell in bidding war over Storm?

By James on Sep 30, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, RIM, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

We launch over new forums on the weekend and today I was looking at some of the posts and came across this one. According to Engadget they received word that Telus and Bell are in a bidding war over RIM’s first touch screen smartphone, the BlackBerry Storm 9530. Apparently Telus had exclusive rights until Bell walked in with a bigger offer.

Personally I hope it goes to Telus but what do you all think?

Apparently some Verizon WIreless stores have received display phones (not live units) for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. This is awesome news because it just means that they are one step further than everyone thought. I’m thinking we should keep an eye on vzw.com/storm for more launch details soon… Check out the pictures from over at CrackBerry: Read More

Kevin Bryne from CrackBerry Forums seems to have all the right info regarding the BlackBerry Storm and Verizon. Here are some new screen shots showing off the Storm’s touch screen controls, Suretype mode and homescreen icons. One thing you will notice is that you will be able to adjust the Tap Interval, Hover Period and Swipe Sensitivity for the touch screen.
