Introducing another incredible smartphone to make its debut in 2010 – the Blackberry Torch 9800.  The Blackberry Torch 9800 is the first Blackberry device that has both inbuilt keyboard as well as capacitive touch screen. I’m sure that many BB fans will appreciate the augmented interactiveness that this dual input brings. I like how RIM have managed to keep the Blackberry Torch 9800 sleek and good-looking despite the slide-keyboard.

On first glance, it looks like the new Blackberry Bold 9800 has done away with the keyboard altogether. But it hasn’t. Instead, Blackberry have chosen to implement a slide-out keyboard (see photo below). I believe BB users will appreciate the additional screen real estate that has resulted from this design change.

During my weekend trip to Singapore, I (mostly) involuntarily found myself in the midst of many Blackberry VS iPhone debates. The iPhone of course is better, but it was entertaining to hear Blackberry owners attempt to argue how the Blackberry was superior for things like business and data input while the iPhone was mostly just a glorified games machine…

One thing that Blackberry users wished they had was more emoticons for messaging applications such as Whatsapp (which has only recently become available on Blackberry). Thinking about what to blog about, I stumbled across this best seller in our Mobile Software store that addresses this problem – Fancy Characters for Blackberry. With this application on your Blackberry, you’ll no longer be envious of iPhoners and their emoticons; you’ll be able to pimp up your messages like theirs, finally!

KBLauncher is an application launcher and switcher. It lets you very quickly run any of your dozens of commands by typing the beginning of its name. In short, it is a command line for your BlackBerry.

Like many BlackBerry users, you are good at typing. Your keyboard kung fu leaves onlookers in awe. Your fingers are a blur of motion. But when it’s time run one of your many great apps on your BlackBerry, you have to scroll painfully through countless icons with your trackball. You know exactly what you want: why do you have to waste all this time? Now you don’t. Just configure one of your convenience keys to start KBLauncher, and your apps will always be just a few keystrokes away.

Behind the deceptively simple user interface is a sophisticated application detection engine. With no effort on your part, KBLauncher will detect both installed and running applications on your phone. You can seamlessly run installed applications, switch to running applications or execute special commands by typing the first few letters (or even one letter) of the command. When your command is up, just hit Enter. KBLauncher will adapt to your usage pattern and offer your most recently used commands first.

I encourage you to take advantage of the 7 day FREE trial to see if KBLauncher is for you. You may never look at your icons list the same way again.

New in version 1.1:

• Better font sizes for high resolution screens
• Configurable fonts and colors
• Power search: hold down your shift key to match the first letter of each word. For example, type Shift-BAW to match “BlackBerry App World”.
• Ensure apps launch in the foreground

Features of KBLauncher for Blackberry:

• Fast command access
• No setup. KBLauncher automatically detects installed and running apps
• KBLauncher learns from your usage by prioritizing your recently used commands
• Works on SureType keyboard layouts (Pearl, Pearl Flip, Storm)
• Cool transparent window effects
• Run commands not normally available on your Home screen: WiFi toggle, memory cleaner
• Low memory requirements: tiny install footprint!

Minimum Requirements of KBLauncher:

• OS 4.2.2 and newer

Reviews on the !Reflect7 Carbon Blackberry Theme:

Hi

Fantastic is how I would describe this Theme. Works great on my Storm as advertisied! Really satisfied!!!!

Pointnino

I really liked this Theme. Anyone that’s intested in this should also know that my experience with their Tech Support was 5-stars as well. My two quiestions were answered within 24 hours with detailed responses. I installed it on a Sprint 8330, and there are a few things that will work slightly differently then you’re used to, but overall, it’s great and is exactly as stated in the specifications. Great job AG Designs & Graphics.

This is an excellent theme. I purchased it for my BlackBerry Curve (8330) and immediately found it appealing to the eye and user friendly. I like the extra home screen location for the weather (or an additional app if you prefer) and find the menus and font to be very well-designed and easy to read. In addition, I would like to extend compliments for their customer service. I encountered problems with the menu screens on applications which are not compatible with transparent menus. I contacted the developer about this problem and within two weeks they had released an updated version which was compatible with all applications on my BB. Overall, I give it 5 stars based on appearance, performance, and customer service. I don’t often take the time to rate applications and almost never give 5 stars, so it is unusual for me to rank an application or theme this highly. Thanks for a great theme and for great support!
