I’m a Bold 9000 user and the last time I saw an official release was in early January when OS 5.0.0.411 came courtesy of Bell Mobility. Zain Kuwait has officially launched OS 5.0.0.464, and I’m looking forward to seeing some performance improvements. On that note, has anyone noticed any serious battery drainage with .411?

Sidebar is an interesting app that pushes recommended content to your BlackBerry as well as it has some content-related features. The app reminds me of Genius or Pandora, in that it is supposed to learn about what you enjoy reading, and push more of that content for you to read. According to the Sidebar team, “the more you use Sidebar, the better we get at picking stuff you like.” Content comes in the form of applications, music downloads, podcasts, RSS feeds, video, wallpaper, ringtones and more. Sidebar also includes a QR code scanner, which can be used to compare prices for goods, just like with Edocrab.
This application is going to have to strike a good balance between sponsored content and content the user will actually want. I can see the monetization of this app killing the user experience, if a large percentage of the content is an ad for ringtones or Amazon products. Nonetheless, I’ll give it a shot.
Sidebar is available for the Storm, Storm 2, Tour, Curve 8900 and Bold 9700, with other devices soon to follow.

Generation Media Group have launched a cool app for browsing vBulletin forums called BerryBlab. The app is really great at delivering a mobile version of a vBulletin forum, but there are some catches. First, the forum obviously has to be powered by vBulletin, and second, the forum owner must install a plugin.
The app is available as a freemium service, with the free version allowing you to add multiple forums, view threads, as well as read private messages. The premium version ($2.99) allows you to reply to threads, subscribe and unsubscribe to threads, view images, as well as reply to private messages
More information available on from the BerryBlab site.
S4BB let us know that their CIA World Factbook app has been updated to version 2.0. The app comes with the most recent data of more than 270 countries and regions and a new caching mechanism lets you store data on the SD card for easy access when no network coverage is available.
S4BB have also put the app on sale for $9.99 (down from $29.99).
The Tour 2 9650 is coming soon and the Visual Voicemail file has been found online. There isn’t much to say about it other than we know it’s coming to Verizon. Anyone looking forward to picking it up?
We’ve known the Craigslist app was coming for some time and they have recently launched on App World. At $4.99, I think the application is a little too expensive considering their site is already monetized. At this price, if I needed to use Craigslist, I wouldn’t do it from the application, I would just use the desktop version.
If the Craigslist app is a must-have for you, it comes with the ability to search postings, bookmark and reply to posts, save searches and more. What do you think, does this sound like it’s worth the price?
RIM need a face for the BlackBerry brand and my vote is for Miranda Kerr. It’s Friday so anything goes when it comes to posts. Enjoy!
