Military Madness Free Themes!
May 22, 2009 Themes
We haven’t done a free theme post in a while (we haven’t done much of anything to be honest!) and we thought in honor of this Memorial Day, we’d post some military themes for you. If you’re a Marine, you’re going to love these two themes for the BlackBerry 9000 (bold) and the 83xx (curve). If you’re not a Jar Head, well, then, perhaps not so much. But if you have a FREE military based theme you’d like us to share, let us know and we’ll be glad to mention it.
The first up is a US Marine Corps Bold theme from CoolBlackberryThemes. Its a basic theme with the 5 home screen icons. Very clean, very crisp, very Marines. You can grab it OTA Here
Up second we have the USMC Blackberry Theme for the 83xx series by b15ginz. Again, this is a simple Marine theme, its a little busier than the one for the Bold, but it’s still a nice theme. The icons on this one are not the stock icons, they’re actually skinned for the marines, so it adds a little extra flare to the theme as well. You can grab this one OTA Here

Sync it with Sugar
May 14, 2009 Apps, Berry, Reviews
I was looking for a good way to get some documents and photos on my Blackberry with out having to use up the precious memory card space I’m saving for Slacker Cache files and videos, mp3s and other stuff I must have at all times on my Phone. That’s when I came across, SugarSync.
SugarSync is another in a long list of Online Backup Solutions. This one however, ROCKS. I was a little skeptical at first as I signed up for the 2gb FREE account, however, once I had downloaded the PC client, I was pleasantly surprised. My account was setup and ready to use in a matter of minutes and after I verified the account, I was able to grab the client and set it up on my laptop. Once installed, I logged in and selected the folder I wanted to “share” on the cloud. As I went cheap (I’ll talk about the other accounts in a minute) I created a special folder that I can drop things in that I’ll need on the go. That way, my entire itunes DB isn’t being backed up on the account.
I added a couple of files and logged in to the web interface. The cool thing is that you get a special “subdomain” thats all yours. So, I’d go to http://mcangeli.sugarsync.com and log in and viola, I’m looking at my shared folders. Almost as soon as I drop an item in the folder I can refresh the screen and see it. Making it available to me anywhere I have internet access. HOW FREAKING COOL!?!?
Its easy to navigate the web interface, but what had really caught my attention was the Blackberry client they offer on their site as well. Yes, you can also hit m.sugarsync.com and use it via the BB Browser, but that has some limitations and isn’t always the best choice and while the current client is rather basic, it offers all the functionality anyone needs. I was able to browse my folder and open an excel spreadsheet with out any issues and it loaded as quickly as though it was on my Berry (note: I was on wifi at the time, that probably didn’t hurt at all).
The other nice feature is the ability to take photos from with in the SugarSync.
client and have it automatically uploaded to the server in the mobile photos folder. This is great for those who like snapping off pics of whatever they see (like giant cows on the side of the road) and is a great tool for getting the photos back to your computer without having to sync up.
SugarSync. has a number of different accounts ranging from the 2gb free plan to 30gb for $4.99 a month up to 250gb for $24.99 a month. They claim their most popular account is the 60gb for $9.99 a month (or $99.99 a year) which I could easily see. My problem would be I’d fill that 60gb in a second and would have to up my storage.
So far, I’m fairly impressed with the ease of use of SugarSync., the options available with it and the speed. Not to mention, the FREE 2gb account is a good starter package for those looking for a simple way to share documents between computers and devices like Blackberries and iPhones. The other cool thing is that I can load the SugarSync.
client on another machine and use it to sync folders on another machine as long as I’m with in my limit. This brings a whole new meaning to file sharing!

Its Official! AT&T releases 4.6.0.217 for the BOLD!
May 13, 2009 Firmware
Apparently, AT&T has decided to show some love to the bold Owners out there. Only 6 months after the device launched, they’ve released an updated OS. You can grab the new ‘official’ firmware here (Make sure to use IE), but if I were you, I’d find .266 and run with that release instead.
There really isn’t anything new to add to this build (especially if you’ve been using some of the more recent betas), VVM is not working or available yet, so in our book, its a wash.

Those Crazy Penguins!
May 13, 2009 Games
So I haven’t written in over a month. Work, life and other things have gotten in the way (one reason I’m looking for others to help update the site!) but I came across this game in an email from bPlay and as I have a softspot in my heart for penguins, I had to post about it. Crazy Penguin Catapult
In Crazy Penguin, you fend off invading Polar Bears by hurling courageous penguins at them with your trusty catapult! Sounds like a lot of fun. The graphics are cool and remind me of Lemmings (remember that fun game?). You can pick up Crazy Penguin Catapult for about $6.99 @ bPlay.
