BlackBerry Storm OS 5.0.0.230 Comes out from Hiding!

By Brett on Sep 15, 2009 in BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Downloads, Rumors.

5002302

Storm users have been living with the last leak (5.0.0.191) and having to deal with not having a functional camera or video camera, only hoping and praying for another OS that will fix this issue. Well it appears the folks at BlackBerry OS has gotten their hands on 5.0.0.230 for the 9530. The good news is that this new .230 version fixes the camera and video camera issue. Last time BlackberryOS showed the .191 images for the Storm and Tour, it was not to far before they leaked the link to download them. Could this happen with this OS as well? Lets hope so!

iSkin has been known to design some really nice iPhone cases, but now they’ve expanded their lineup by introducing cases for BlackBerry. iSkin has introduced the Vibe series for the BlackBerry Bold, Curve 8900, and Storm. Unfortunately no love for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 or Curve 8520 just yet. We’ve been checking out these cases for the past few weeks and so far we’re very impressed! They fit like a glove, and are designed to protect for sure. Included in the packaging is both the skin and a mirrored screen protector for maximum protection and privacy.

BlackBerry Storm 2 Shows Off New Piezoelectric Technology for SurePress

By Matt on Aug 25, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

2009-08-25-storm2dissect-1

More and more photos of the Storm 2 are finding their way onto the internet. The newest pictures to surface showcase the piezoelectric technology that is making its debut in the Storm 2. If you haven’t been keeping up on the Storm 2 you might be asking yourself what piezoelectric technology is. Unlike the original Storm with just one pivoting button the Storm 2 has four sensors. The sensors are only activated when electrical current is going through the phone so when it is turned off or in standby mode the screen won’t click. It will be interesting to see just how well this new technology works. Check out more pictures and details over at Engadget.

blackberry9990sm

An interesting photo popped up on CrackBerry this morning. It’s a photo of OS 5.7.0.151  on what appears to be the un-announced BlackBerry Storm 2. Some people seem to think of the BlackBerry 9990 is the new model for the un-announced BlackBerry Storm 2, which should be launching October/November. No one can seem to confirm if this OS in fact real, of if somone is having some photoshop fun. You might want to check out the full discussion on CrackBerry Forums for the full details…

What do you think… Photoshop or actual OS?

OtterBox announces Commuter Series Case for BlackBerry Storm

By James on Jul 25, 2009 in Accessories, BlackBerry, BlackBerry Sync Store, Storm 9500 Series.

Our friends at OtterBox have just announced a new product (via Twitter). Meet the Commuter Series Case for the BlackBerry Storm from OtterBox. The Commuter brings both their Impact and Defender case all-in-one. It should be launching fairly soon for only $34.95. Stay tuned, because it should be available in the BBSync Store soon…

“The OtterBox Commuter™ Series case for the BlackBerry® Storm™ offers the best of both worlds; incorporating elements from the rugged Defender Series™ line with the silicone, skin-like Impact Series™ line to create a slick case designed with your style in mind. It’s protection without the bulk. The exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from the device for additional bump and shock protection and the smooth outer layer allows the case to easily slide into your pocket or purse. All buttons are fully functional through the case and the audio jack and USB port are accessible through silicone plugs.”
