SocialScope is a great application because it gives you access to several accounts in one application. Hootsuite gives similar utility in that it allows you to access several accounts from your desktop in a single web app. Today, the company sent out a newsletter with a “BlackBerry Notes” section at the bottom that read:
Finally, fans of RIM’s Blackberry phones can almost…. finally begin Hoot-ing since HootBerry is just about ready for beta release. To get on-board for early access, simply sign up at: http://ow.ly/2aRUx and you’ll be among the first to try the new tool.
Of course the company won’t be naming the application HootBerry, as that would conflict with the vendor agreement on App World. Unless they never plan to distribute using App World which would be a little silly. If anyone gets accepted to the Beta, let us know what you think! Use the above ow.ly link to find the beta registration form.
The Genuine Leather theme takes elements of an OS 6 theme and combines them with a leather background that would match a Bold 9700 or 9000 back. The theme therefore gives consistency to the device, as well as the modern icon set and navigation that comes with a good OS 6 theme. This theme is definitely worth a try for any Bold user or OS 6 lover.
ChangeWave is a research company that we’ve had problems with in the past as their surveys tend to be skewed to the point where you wonder if they’re owned or influenced by Apple. We cover these surveys because we know BlackBerryCool readers are smart enough to read through the bias and take it all with a grain of salt. The good that comes from these surveys are the talking points.
ChangeWave’s latest Consumer Smart Phone survey covers the second half of 2010. The survey takes a look at demand for the new Apple iPhone 4 and the HTC Droid Incredible, along with the impact they are having on the rest of the smartphone industry. One of the more interesting parts of the survey includes the BlackBerry versus iPhone customer satisfaction survey. Continue reading ‘What Happened? BlackBerry User Customer Satisfaction Versus iPhone’
Phone Logger Lite is a handy app that’s free and lets you generate call logs and sort them by date, type of call, duration and caller. You can also email reports based on these logs at any time. These emailed reports can come in a variety of formats including Excel, txt, or csv. The report logs include the date, person, phone number, call status, and duration. With this app, you are also not limited to seeing just the last 20 calls made, received or missed; you can see a rolling 30 day history of calls.
The applications of this app are entirely up to you and there are probably many reasons why users might want such an app. Being able to simply see a longer call history is nice, but also the ability to send reports helps. Is your mother saying you don’t call her enough? Email her the month’s history and prove you’re a good son/daughter.
Guitar Hero 5 for BlackBerry is a musical rhythm game developed by GLU and distributed by Bplay. The Guitar Hero series is a megahit on game consoles and pioneered a whole new genre of expensive controllers and premium downloadable extra songs.
The object of the game is to hit the musical notes with good timing. The more notes you correctly hit in a row, better your bonus multiplier gets and the bigger your score will be. You still get partial points for a near miss so to get great scores you’ve got to hit the notes bang-on. You get the most points for a long streak so try not to drop the ball or your bonus multiplier gets reset to zero. Continue reading ‘Game Review: Guitar Hero 5 Mobile for BlackBerry by GLU’
