Blackberry Unlocked

If you’ve been thinking about picking up a new BlackBerry Smartphone from Verizon, you may want to move quick. Assuming the info we just received above holds true, it shows that Big Red is looking to end their current Buy One, Get One BlackBerry promotion next Saturday, November 7th. I’m sure the BlackBerry BOGO will make its return at somepoint in the not so distant future, but we’re not exactly sure when or for how long. So if you’ve been eyeing up the Verizon BlackBerry Tour or newly-launched BlackBerry Storm2 for you and a loved one, there’s no time like the present!

Elertify is a new app to the CrackBerry app store and is simply awesome. Elertify is for those users who often sit at their PC and have their BlackBerry by their side at all times. Elertify can display a popup message on your PC when you receive incoming Email, SMS and Phone calls on your BlackBerry. You can even hear who’s calling, texting, or emailing you by using the built voice synthesizer. Check out the video for a good look of it in action. After having tested it earlier today I’ll be surely adding this to my collection and right now, up until Nov 15th you can get it for only $4.99.

A new blog post went up yesterday over at the Inside BlackBerry blogs. It may be of a lot of interest to those among us here in the BlackBerry community. RIM wants to hear all the questions you have about BlackBerry App World.

Inside BlackBerry writer and Product Manager, BlackBerry App World Alex. K has stepped up to the plate to address what is the first part of what I assume, is many articles regarding BlackBerry App World. Ever since the launch of BlackBerry App World there have been some questions which have remained unanswered — be sure to check it out if you have any that you would like to see addressed.

Slacker Radio got a little bump in versions recently. Version 2.0.91 is now available for download from the Slacker Radio website. Now would be a good time to get in on their Halloween music channel as well if you have never checked Slacker out before.

Sadly, no changelog is available at this time for what exactly the update corrects. From my checking of it, it appears to be some if not full support for OS 5.0. but if you notice anything else don’t hesitate to drop us a note in the comments or in the CrackBerry forums of your findings.

This is more so for those of you who have never installed BlackBerry App World before, because those of you who have it already should have gotten the notification update by now. In any event, BlackBerry App World has been updated once again and now sits at version 1.1.0.23. While no changelog came with this release I’m sure once it gets in the hands of more users we’ll see some information about what has been addressed with this release in the forums. So, have you downloaded it? Any new changes or things you notice, feel free to drop em in the comments folks.

We’ve been hearing some rumors for a few days regarding Rogers BlackBerry Bold 9700 release. Finally, it seems they are rumors now more. Rogers has sent off the emails to CSR’s telling them to take the BlackBerry Bold 9700 training courses in the Rogers Fastrack system, while Rogers BlackBerry Tech agents have already been trained up. We were also hearing that the devices were sitting in the warehouse, flashed with the latest 5.0 OS and all packaged up for Rogers customers across Canada. All of this is now confirmed.

All that’s really left right now is for dealers to place their orders and get them shipped off to retail locations. Shipping will be available from November 2nd and with some retailers receiving their devices possibly as soon as November 4th. The final rumor that has been passed around is that Rogers is planning on doing a soft launch of the device and while this still remains a rumor until some are actually sold, retailers will have the devices on hand and they’re already in the system to be processed. And of course, Rogers may want to be getting ahead of Bell in the sales department if even just by a day or two. So, who’s excited for the Bold 9700 now? Gonna be hitting up your local Rogers location to grab one of these?

It seemed like it came and went. TweetGenius, the first premium Twitter client for BlackBerry, swooped in and then in a poof it was gone again. If you didn’t get to purchase it upon the initial release, you were sadly out of luck for the last few months. Well the good news is that its finally here. The minds behind TweetGenius teamed up with BeeJive (makers of the amazing BeeJive IM) and have finally dropped a crazy new pollen-infused version of TweetGenius. The early version had some struggles on older devices (like my 8330) and people had some complaints. Well no comments went unnoticed, and the new version of TweetGenius is much improved, faster and ready for the world again. 

Get TweetGenius: TweetGenius is available for all devices except for the Pearl and Pearl Flip for $7.99. It may seem a bit steep for a Twitter app, but it is well worth the price. It has been overhauled and works with OS 4.3 or higher. You can buy it now from tg2.beejive.com.

Contest: We’ve got 50 free copies of TweetGenius to give away for free to the CrackBerry Nation! Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one comment – multiple entries won’t count!

Toysoft has dropped another great app for the Storm and Storm2 called CallerInfo. The app displays custom information on the screen for incoming calls. When a person in your contacts calls, CallerInfo shows their city and last call date as well as any custom info you have entered (birthday, anniversary, note). When a call is ended, the app will prompt you to enter a note that will display the next time the user calls. If you are looking to get a little more out of your device, you may want to give this app a go. It is cool to see the info when the contact calls, and you can be sure you won’t forget important dates (just pay attention so you know if someone is calling you on their birthday!). CallerInfo is on sale in the CrackBerry App Store for $2.99 until tomorrow.
