BlackBerry Storm simulator released

By James on Oct 09, 2008 in BlackBerry, Downloads, RIM, Storm 9500 Series.

By now i’m sure most of you are sick of BlackBerry Storm news but this one had to be posted. RIM has just launched their BlackBerry Storm 9530 simulator. The simulator doesn’t look real pretty but it sure gets it post across. With this software you get a feeling of how to use RIM’s new OS 4.7 and features, the only thing you won’t really get to test out of the Clickthrough touch screen function. So if you have a PC (no mac support) head on over to the site and give it a try!

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.

T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl 8220 unboxing!

By James on Oct 06, 2008 in BlackBerry, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, RIM, T-Mobile, USA.

Sure we have seen Kevin’s Pearl 8220 unboxing before but The Boy Genius managed to take it on step closer. He has unboxed a T-Mobile branded Pearl Flip 8220. He also goes on to say that he isn’t teribally impressed with the overall quality of the product “As far as the device goes, we’re pretty disappointed. Not so much because it’s absolutely terrible, just because the Pearl Flip feels like a prototype and not a final build. Even though this is a retail unit.”.

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…

A very interesting article has arrived that indicates there will be two new CDMA Blackberry devices coming in 2009 (code named Niagara and Apex).
