SmrtGuard Beta gives your BlackBerry backup, tracking and remote wiping!

By James on Mar 25, 2009 in BlackBerry, Downloads.

sg_summary

For the past few days I’ve been testing a new application called SmrtGuard. This application allows you to backup and restore pretty much all of your device’s information including phonebook, call logs, emails, memo pad, etc. Not only that but SmrtGuard also allows you to track your BlackBerry in case you loose it and even perform a remote wipe to erase your BlackBerry of all data. SmrtGuard also performs daily or weekly backups so you don’t have to do it manually. This software basically provides similar functions to a BES server in terms of backup and security.

SmrtGuard is currently available in public beta as a free download. The final service will end up costing we just aren’t too sure how much yet. To test out SmrtGuard head over to smrtguard.com and register.

OS Alert: BlackBerry Storm 9530 OS 4.7.0.113 leaked

By James on Mar 24, 2009 in BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Downloads, Storm 9500 Series.

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?
