FlipSilent for Storm and Storm 2 Released!
Oct 22, 2009 Apps
Hitting the inbox today is something that I would actually use if I had a storm (ahem). The folks at S4BB have release FlipSilent for the Storm and Storm 2 devices, making use of the motion sensor in it. Now, silencing your storm is as easy as flipping the device over.
From the site:
- Flip the phone to silent.
- More incoming calls will be silent too.
- Flip the phone back and the normal profile reactivated.
- Activate or deactivate FlipSilent whenever you want.
- Works flawlessly after device reboot/reset.
- Silence the phone with elegance (i.e. in a meeting).
- Exclusively for BlackBerry® Storm™ and Storm2
I would think that this would be native in any device like the storm or the iPhone, but it isn’t. For $4.99 however, you can have the ability to silence your phone with a flip.

First-gen BlackBerry Storm 9530 owners to get flick scrolling, improved browser
Oct 20, 2009 Uncategorized
For owners of the original model of the BlackBerry Storm, seeing the improvements in the sequel might hurt. While the original word from Verizon was that Wi-Fi was not necessary on the 9530 because of the carrier’s blazing fast EV-DO Rev. A network, adding it to the Storm2 along with an improved version of the SurePress typing system, has made many Verizon customers decide to swear off being first adapters. No, Big Red will not give any special credit to owners of the first Storm who want to upgrade to the new model. But there is something that RIM and Verizon is doing for owners of the 9530.
According to a Verizon rep, a firmware upgrade will make the Storm and the Storm2 practically identical when it comes to software. In other words, things like flick scrolling, tabbed browsing and threaded texting will all be enabled on the original unit. The rep confirmed that the only difference between the two handsets will be hardware related items, like a Wi-Fi radio, slightly sleeker design and plastic buttons. And let’s not forget the four sensors for the SurePress typing which will allow for multi-touch typing, and the piezo technology that freezes the screen when the power is off. Throw out all those hardware improvements, add the new OS upgrade, and yourBlackBerry Storm 9530 will be the same as the Storm2 9550-except where your pocketbook and wallet is concerned.

First Images: BlackBerry Watch is FOR REAL!
Oct 20, 2009 Uncategorized
* Update - Just to be clear as I’ve seen some confusion in the commments, but as far as we know at this time the inPulse watch is not being made by/for BlackBerry (it won’t feature a BlackBerry logo), but is being made for use with BlackBerry Smartphones. However, this is in fact “the BlackBerry watch” that has been referred to previously in articles dating back to WES in May. There isn’t another RIM-built BlackBerry watch out there. *
Remember that story about a Bluetooth BlackBerry Watch accessory being in the works? In case you were doubting it, today we can say with certainty that it’s happening, it’s getting announced soon, and what you’re looking at above (another image below) are actual renderings of the real deal. Key features we’ve been told so far about the BlackBerry-connected smartwatch by our source:
- it has been designed specifically for use with BlackBerry Smartphones from the ground up – developed by a new BlackBerry-dedicated accessory company
- it features an OLED screen that we hear is “big, bright and beautiful” and optimized for displaying text clearly, and thanks to OLED has solid battery life
- it’s designed to show you notifications and previews of messages arriving on your BlackBerry
- judging by the filename of the photos as they were sent in to us, we’re thinking it’s going to be branded the inPulse smartwatch
The intent of the watch isn’t to replace using your BlackBerry to view messages. Rather, it’s for those occassions when your BlackBerry is tucked away – while in a meeting, while driving, or while you’re out for a bike ride and you feel it vibrating in your camelback. When you get thatimpulse to stop what you’re doing and pull out your BlackBerry, now you can quickly glance over at your inPulse and decide if you need to pull out your BlackBerry to address that message now or if it can wait fifteen minutes you’re free.
Definitely a cool accessory. And because this smartwatch is desiged specifically for BlackBerry, we’re thinking hoping that at somepoint the watch APIs will become available to BlackBerry app developers so even notifications from third party apps could be displayed. CrackBerry heaven! We’ll bring you the official details on this when they emerge soon.
