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.

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!

I was browsing our Blackberry Software Store today and came across this awesome theme for the Blackberry – !Reflect7 Carbon.

Clean and simply designed theme with many hidden features – a much more enticing interface than the standard BlackBerry.

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!

If you’ve got a new Blackberry Bold 9700 and wished you had more talk-time / Web-time on the road, then you’ll be happy that we now have stock of the Blackberry Bold 9700 High Capacity Battery. The battery that comes with the Blackberry Bold 9700 is a 1500mAh battery that gives roughly 6 hours talktime and 500 hours standby time.
