| PhotoBooth App Takes “Film Strip” Style Pics With Your BlackBerry Posted: 11 May 2011 02:45 AM PDT
S4BB might be on to something with their latest app release called PhotoBooth. Remember all of those photo booths you walk by at arcades, malls, and amusement parks and never use since you have a BlackBerry with a camera? Well now you can get the experience back for only $1.99 (on sale from $4.99) by using PhotoBooth. The app lets you simply select the "Take 4 Shots" button and your BlackBerry will proceed to take four consecutive pictures with a second between them and combine them into a vertical strip. Really its that simple but you have to admit it is kind of cool. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Review: OtterBox Defender for the BlackBerry PlayBook Posted: 10 May 2011 04:09 PM PDT
OtterBox Defenders are 3-piece extreme-protective cases designed to withstand moderate drops and spills. By general consensus, they are considered to be the best at what they do. Hence, I was happy to come into possession of this venerable case. There’s no mistaking that it’s a classic OtterBox Defender: 2 snap-on polycarbonate shells to enclose the Playbook and a touch silicone outer layer enclosing the polycarbonate shell for secure protection. It comes in minimalistic packaging with a “built for Blackberry” logo emblazoned on it. Pictorial instructions are printed inside the box.
High-quality polycarbonate shell:
Clear protective membrane touch screen:
Durable silicone skin:
Protective shield / 2-angle stand:
Once everything is in place, the case provides access to the speakers, microphones, camera & volume/media buttons. I have no doubt about the toughness and durability of this case. It feels as if it can take a lickin’ n’ keep on tickin’! I would say that it is water resistant to some extent. The collapsible stand/shield is a boon for field workers and those on the go. Despite all this protection, it is a ruggedly handsome case. Dimensions: Pros: Cons: If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Walker Themes was nice enough to send over one of thee most elegant BlackBerry themes that I have ever seen/used. Heartbeat is a hidden dock theme with also a hidden weather slot for the true minimalists in us all. The clock, signal and battery are all original to this theme.
Features: If you are looking for a clean, elegant and sophisticated theme, I recommend this one. It can be found in the BerryReview Store for $3.99 ON SALE, regularly $5.99, and worth every penny once you see the effort they have used. Here is my homescreen at the moment.

| Fixmo Messenger Public Beta Brings BBM to Your Desktop Posted: 10 May 2011 09:59 AM PDT
Over the years there have been a few solutions for chatting on BBM from your desktop over USB or Bluetooth. Now Fixmo has blown those all away with Fixmo Messenger. You simply install the beta app on your BlackBerry after which you create an account and then head on over to their website and enter in your login information. You can then chat away from their website. NOTE: Please keep in mind this means you are sharing your BBM chats with Fixmo which may concern users. Instructions from the Public Beta announcement on CB Forums:
Thanks Paul for sending this one in! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| BlackBerry PlayBook 90 Days Complimentary Support and Extended 2 Year Warranty Posted: 10 May 2011 08:02 AM PDT
New BlackBerry PlayBook owners may have missed out on the fact that you are entitled to 90 days of complimentary support directly from RIM. You can get support by phone or email by simply filling in your serial number in the form at this link or calling 1-877-644-8410 in the US or 1-877-644-8405 in Canada. I know a few people who have made use of the feature and found it really useful for getting started especially in cases where store salespeople were less than helpful. I have not heard of a way to extend the complimentary support but maybe RIM will offer it soon. On the other hand all BlackBerry PlayBooks ship with a 1 year warranty from RIM. RIM also teamed up with SERVICE NET to offer an extended 2 year warranty that also covers the device from "Mechanical Failures and Accidental Damage from Handling." If you are like me you are probably wondering what Accidental Damage from Handling means so here is their definition:
That extended 2 year warranty is transferable if you sell your PlayBook and costs $129 though I have yet to meet anybody who has purchased it. You can sign up for the extended warranty at this link. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Al Jazeera Releases Free BlackBerry App Posted: 10 May 2011 07:49 AM PDT
Al Jazeera has been getting some serious attention this year with all of the unrest in the middle east. Al let us know that Al Jazeera now has their own free BlackBerry app which is refreshingly feature full compared to other news apps. The coverage is in English and it supports a wide range of devices though some like the BlackBerry Curve 83XX are noticeably missing. If Al Jazeera coverage is your thing you may want to check it out. Features include:
You can pick up the app in App World Via ReadWriteWeb via IntoMobile If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| T-Mobile Reviving Unlimited Wi-Fi UMA Calling? Posted: 10 May 2011 05:44 AM PDT
I always wondered why T-Mobile killed off the unlimited Wi-Fi calling feature a bit back. I know some people are still grandfathered into it for the $10/month or so but they stopped offering it awhile ago. TmoNews managed to get a screencap of an upcoming feature stating that starting May 11th T-Mobile will be offering unlimited Wi-Fi calling again and it looks like it will be free AND not use your plan minutes which is impressive. UMA Wi-Fi calling is one of the strong suits of T-Mobile and their BlackBerry offering so its great to see the bringing this back! Hopefully this pans out and all T-Mobile customers with UMA phones get the free unlimited calling. Thanks Tashanna for the tip! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Hey Everyone! It has been a while and thought I’d arrange to have an accessory review written up for what will eventually be, one of the most powerful tablets on the market. I invited my friend Sabesh, who is, like myself, one of the biggest cell phone nuts I know. Sabesh often finds himself in different environments that requires special protection for his devices. I thought, since I don’t own a PlayBook myself, this would be a great opportunity to invite someone who knows what they’re talking about, to do a write up on the OtterBox Defender for the PlayBook.
