BelowZeroSoft.com myspace.com/belowzerosoft It's available on mobihand.com and handango.com just letting you guys know about the new app we just released! Seriously though, I even use this app daily when i'm out in the world and I don't want to hear all the traffic, it's very relaxing to just have the beach in my pocket, or a relaxing waterfall or even the rain. Check it out! You forgot to include, “while sitting at my desk I open up relax and listen to the waterfall to ease the obnoxious pains of being in a cubicle”

Second off, though I will admit I do have freeze-ups, random shut-downs, etc, those are far from a regular, day to day occurance. And my battery usually lasts me from 6:30am when it automagically turns on to start my day, until 1am when it's over. I may not be the most heavy user like indicated in the "story," but between e-mail(2 accounts), text, msn messenger, blackberry messenger, facebook, twitter, browsing, music, calender, and several fun free apps, there's rarely an interval of more than 10-minutes where my Storm isn't being used. My Storm was the first Blackberry for me, and it was a very difficult decision between it and an iPhone, but in conclusion, I highly doubt I will ever own a non-blackberry phone, and most likely a touch screen. My only complaint is the sand/grit that gets under the screen from it's life on a farm and construction site. -Josh First off, I quite enjoyed the article.

It's not listed in App World yet nor is the Storm listed as a supported device on the Shazam website (says it is coming soon). I'm new to the BB world (this is my first BB), so I am probably missing something obvious. Thanks! Hi Fabian,

Oh and its not as bad as some people are saying. But its not as great as I would like it to be. And if your running .141 Fabian, no wonder you didn't include any photo taking because the camera is terrible. Im running a .141 hybrid though and its almost flawless. Haha that sounds so plaid out.

I can see the scenario playing out as well. I do many of the things you mentioned...and my battery lasts at least through 20:00 or so... Thanks for the app list...very creative way of highlighting some useful (and less useful but fun apps).

Its good fiction though.
