New BBM 5.0 Leaked for BB. UPDATED with OTA links….

July 17th, 2009

I just downloaded and installed the new BBM 5.0 for the Storm.  Here are a few screen shots.  I have noticed a few things in the short time ive been messing with it, but some of the noticeable things is the buddy list.  You can see the blank pictures, which will be the peoples pictures once they upload them im guessing.  You can see recent updates, Like if someone changes their status or name.  You will get your barcode that each BB can scan and get your pin instead of having to give it out.  You can pin a person to the home screen for easy access.  One cool feature is the BACKUP of your contact list.  I noticed I just tried to send my friend a picture and it made me crop it to send it to him, bummer.  Head over to blackberryos.com to download this leak.  Simple to install follow these instructions.

  • Download and extract zip.
  • Copy all the .cod files from the extracted file “For_4.7.0″ to “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\YOUR OS FOLDER\Java
  • Copy the “BlackBerryMessenger.alx” to the “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\YOUR OS FOLDER\
  • Open the App Loader it will see the new BBM, install, reboot and enjoy.

FREE Month of Netflix, Yes that’s right FREE MONTH…

May 28th, 2009

If you have never experienced NetFlix before, please take this time to try it for a month FREE.  The normal free trial is only for 14 days.  This trial is for a free month.  All you have to do is click the link before and it will take you to the netflix page where you create an account.  You should see a white box on the left of the screen that says “As a friend of a Netflix member, you’ve been invited to get ONE FREE MONTH of movie rentals. Sign up today!”.  If you don’t see that, close the window and try again.  Last time I got this offer for one of my friends it didn’t work right, so I called up netflix and they gave him 28 days.  You will have to give them a valid credit card.  BUT YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED for a month.  They will however charge you if you do not cancel after your free month is up.  But to cancel it is really simple all you have to do is log in and go to your account and you will see Cancel Account.  I love NetFlix I use it all the time, especially now since they have such a HUGE instant viewing library.

What is instant viewing?

It’s the ability to watch movies or tv shows directly on your computer, without the need of renting the movie and having it delivered to you.  I haven’t tried it yet but I am pretty sure I am going to get it, it’s this Roku box.  You hook it up to your tv and you can stream movies or tv shows directly to your tv.  This is in addition to the movies you rent from netflix.  All you have to have is an unlimited plan.

I currently have the 3 movies at a time, and I could not be happier with their service.  They almost always have the movies that I want in stock ready to ship.  They have almost a facility in every state some states have multiple shipping facilities.  I always have a 1 day turn around time.  If I put movies in my queue this morning before like 7am, I will get the movies tomorrow, I ship them back tomorrow they get them the next day and they ship out the next ones in my queue.

Please take me up on this offer, don’t pass up this great opportunity for free rentals.  Check it out if you have any problems please contact me and I will be glad to help you.  Oh I almost forgot, this is for NEW members only.  If you are currently or used to be a netflix member this offer will not work for you, Sorry about that guys…

Free Month Offer

BlackBerry Storm 2: the official unofficial hands-on

May 21st, 2009


We’ve been bumping into the new BlackBerry Storm 2 for quite a while now on the so-called “information superhighway,” but we’ve finally had a chance to escalate those encounters and spend a few sweet moments with a live unit in the flesh. First off, let’s confirm the huge news: RIM’s abandoned the original Storm’s SurePress click-screen and gone with a traditional fixed capacitive display for the sequel. It’s over, guys. Unfortunately, the Verizon-branded dual-mode GSM / CDMA unit that we played with has a bug preventing us from getting past the license screen so we couldn’t dive deep into the OS (and yeah, we tried scrolling to the bottom of the agreement — no dice), but we can tell you what we do know: the Storm 2’s sleeker style and more heft combined with the newly-stable screen collaborate to make everything feel a wee bit higher end than the original. Follow the break for more impressions!

May 20th, 2009

Woke up this morning to find out that there was a new leak for the storm.  Never listen to rumors.  They said that 4.7.0.141 was the last 4.7 that was going to be created, then they were aiming toward 5.0  Now they have all this Storm 2 craze going on.  Maybe the end of this month, maybe beginning of next month, maybe September, who knows?  What I do know is this was leaked today, it’s downloaded and I am fixing to install.  Feel free to download and install at your OWN RISK…. Download link below or under my Blackberry Stuff page.

Many icons have been updated or replaced. All icons have been given a deeper, richer color than those in the previous 2 versions. Folders are now skinned as well.

New weather icon tab.

Hidden clock quick jump button.

BlackBerry Pro v2 -Free Clean & Professional Theme

May 13th, 2009

One of my friends from over on PinStack.com told me about this theme.  I had to check it out because most themes I have been finding have either been causing bad battery life or killed my memory.  I downloaded the Green one and man I love it.  Check it out, if you like it donate to the creator for his hard work.

via BlackBerryOS.com

Weatherbug slot in top banner(assign WB to icon #9 to have it show in the banner)
Quick clock access (Click on the time to jump into the clock app)
Quick message access (Click on a message notification or the BB logo to jump straight into your messages)
10 Hidden Today entries
Large App menu Button (Click on any empty space to access the app menu)
Custom Banners (Banners are consistent throughout the theme)
Built from the ground up in the official plazmic release

As always, it is recommended to delete all other 3rd party themes from your device. This saves on application memory and can make your Storm run smoother. ALWAYS do a battery pull after installation. Enjoy!
