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.

By James on Oct 05, 2008 in BlackBerry, Featured News, RIM, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Un-Released models, Verizon.

Boy Genius has posted an everything you would want to know about the BlackBerry Storm 9530. You can check out all the slides but here is a quick run down… As you may or may not know the Storm will feature a revolutionary touch screen that clicks when pressed down. It will also feature a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, high resolution 3.25″ display, both full QWERTY and Suretype touch keyboards and Assisted GPS (which provides your location faster). These slides also show details on how to type and use the Storm (and OS 4.7).

All I can say is Boy Genius you are the man! Apparently there is more details to come…

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?

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.

Verizon BlackBerry Storm launch date hinted?

By James on Sep 26, 2008 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

It seems a training schedule for Verizon has been leaked on to the internet. Two of the modules shown include the BlackBerry Storm 9530 and HTC Diamond. If you notice all Storm training must be completed by November 2nd and the Diamond not until December 3rd. This could mean that the Early November release date we have all heard about is true…

Stay tuned!

AT&T: Why iPhone is better than Storm

By James on Sep 24, 2008 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Other Devices, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

AT&T must be feeling a little heat from Verizon’s announcement of the first touch screen BlackBerry “Storm”. AT&T has released an internal document that outlines what the iPhone does that the Storm doesn’t. Here’s why they say the iPhone is so much better than the Storm:

- The iPhone uses multi-touch technology / Storm uses haptic feedback technology
- iPhone was Wi-Fi / Storm doesn’t
- iPhone has an app store / Storm doesn’t (maybe coming soon?)
- iPhone syncs with iTunes / Storm will be able too but not as well?
- iPhone users Safari for browsing / Storm uses RIM’s browser
- iPhone is GSM/3G / Storm is CDMA/GSM/Dual band HSDPA

Who will get Storm in Canada? Bell or Telus?

By James on Sep 23, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

So the question this morning for Canadians is who will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 9530 first? Rumors over night claim Bell will have a 6 month exclusivity on it, however we don’t think that is true.

BlackBerryNews is reporting that they received a tip from a reliable source saying “Bell Mobility will be in fact releasing the Storm in mid Q4/early Q1. Also it will be exclusive for 6 months to the Bell system. So Telus will have to wait.”

After hearing of this we checked with several sources, which have helped us in the past with Telus’ launches. They claim that Bell has no exclusivity on the Storm and that Telus should be releasing it just in time for Christmas or shortly after Verizon. Furthermore they can’t confirm that Bell will even be getting the device at all. Read More

News of the BlackBerry Storm RIM’s first touch screen smartphone is everywhere. Today (unconfirmed) news that Vodafone will be the exclusive carrier for RIM’s Storm. Another interesting tidbit is that RIM will be ditching the Thunder name as we previously talked about and running with a global name of “Storm”.

The BlackBerry Storm is expected to be available from Vodafone late October. No official word from Vodafone has been released yet.
