The BlackBerry Ninja over at Benezblog has posted leaked photos of the BlackBerry Storm 2 9520 aka The BlackBerry Odin.

So far, the device is rumored to have:

  • OS 5.0.0.138 and it’s running platform 4.3.0.28.
  • WiFi – awesome!
  • SurePress has been replaced by a new touchscreen technology that is apparently much better.
  • 3.2MP camera
  • 360×480 capacitive touchscreen display
  • UMTS/HSDPA (2100MHz)
  • Quad-band GSM and CDMA 1xRTT/EVDO Rev. A

This is beginning to look like a great device but it’s too early to say much about it. While the Storm 1 got a lot of bad press on the Internet, it was one of the least returned devices from Verizon. BlackBerry users want a good touchscreen device and this could be the king of touchscreen devices.

Comments

analog-elecite-blackberry-theme

Elecite have been putting a lot of work into making the battery and signal meters. As you can see with this theme, the meters are embedded in analog dials much like a futuristic odometer.

This theme has a 45 degree sliding dock with 8 customizable icons. It’s reminiscient of some of the functionality built into the Urban theme.

This theme is available for the Bold, Storm and Curve 8900. A caveat, this theme isn’t compatible with the Storm OS .151.

The Analog theme is available for $6.99.

UberTwitter turns off ads amidst Twitter outrage

When UberTwitter released their Beta 4, the news that it came with ads was somewhat buried in the announcement. While the ad wasn’t terribly annoying, users were more upset that they felt a little deceived. Also, as one user pointed out, it is a little bold to serve ads in a product that’s still in beta.

Well the folks at UberTwitter have been listening and they have turned off the ads in their Beta 4. You may have to battery pull or clear the cache for the changes to take effect. Here are some of their Tweets confirming:

“We will be turning the ads in UberTwitter off until we can offer an ad-free option, we have heard you all loud and clear!”

“Ads are now off, select ‘exit’, then re-enter uber, it will retrv one more ad, then that will be it.”

Somewhat funny that the Tweets came from the web, not UberTwitter.
