Car Finder is a nice little handy application for your BlackBerry that actually helps you locate your vehicle. So how does it work? Easily. When exiting your car, just open Car Finder and set your coordinates. The application will save those coordinates for later on when u open it up again and choose to find your car. It’s a simple application, nothing crazy that’ll find your car over many others. The only downside I can think about this application is that if people forget where their cars are all the time, how will they even remember to set their coordinates every time they park? Who knows! Download this application directly from your phone here or just type “http://mobile.blackberry.com” manually into your phone browser

Didiom allows you to listen to songs from your iTunes library directly from your phone. All this program takes is simply a download of Didiom on your BlackBerry and another download to your desktop! Last year, we saw other premium applications that let you stream your music playlists wirelessly and others as well. Users found it frustrating to have to upload your playlist to the website, share it publicly, and access it that way. This was is a alot easier, more practical, and best of all… FREE. The other nice feature is being able to purchase music if you wish. Let’s say you’re on the road and you’d like to download that song you haven’t heard in awhile or just in the mood. With Didiom it is no problem; simply access the Didiom music store from your phone and purchase whatever songs you would like. All in all, if you want to get your music streaming on your BlackBerry for free, then Didiom is for you! Download it here or visit their website for more information.
NOTE*** – Make sure you access this from a PC to download it for both your mobile phone and desktop.

When we first got word that there was a new browser out for BlackBerry, we thought “could it be Mozilla’s dark secret project that most just forgot about?” Not at all. Turns out, this browser is not only for BlackBerry but for most mobile phones right now.
BOLT is a free mobile browser that offers an incredible browsing experience on even entry-level mobile phones. It is compatible with virtually any handset with Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 support. Basically this browser will work on even basic cell phones (most of them).
Forget using miniature versions of web sites when accessing them on your phone. Bolt delivers it as it ought to be, just as your desktop PC would give it to you. Why settle for less? Smartphone or not, BOLT will work on many of these basic phones we see out today.
Here are some key features:
- Full PC-style browsing on all types of mobile phones
- Web content is never reformatted, repurposed or removed
- Loads pages faster than competing mobile browsers
- Patented navigation and display technologies get you where you’re going faster
- 23:1 over the air data reduction speeds delivery of pages to your phone
- Consumes 1/3 of the battery power of other mobile browsers
In additon, BOLT supports RSS feeds, media sites, Google Maps, and streaming videos. It is still in BETA right now but will continue to improve as we use it and submit our feedbacks. Best of all, BOLT is ABSOLUTELY FREE

This theme goes out to all those who appreciated the iBerry themes and other phone replicated themes. This one is very nicely made and really looks jut like the Android OS. CrackBerry.com has provided two versions, one with a clock and one without. The nicest part about is that you can customize the home screen icons as you please while a lot of newer premium themes out there just don’t let you do it! All fonts and notification icons are the same as Android’s. Unfortunately, this is only available for the BlackBerry Bold only (I’ can’t complain as a Bold user) using OS 4.6. Expect to see more device compatibility in the future. Purchase the DroidBerry theme for only $7.00 here

We have all been through those nightmares where your trackball just finds its way to become darker and darker. No matter how much we cleaned our hands before using our BlackBerry devices, the trackball just managed to find a way to lose its “pearl” white color. We saw posted on many forums how to keep it clean and maintain it, but lets be serious: none of it is really practical. Black trackballs have become normal routine for the average BlackBerry addict. It is a phase you just go through after 2+ months usage.
The all new upcoming BlackBerry Curve 8900 seems to come stock equipped with a BLACK trackball. Strangely, it still illuminates white when the phone is active, but seems to maintain a nice black color when not active. Not like our dirty tinted trackballs. So we continue asking if this dilemma is really indeed over? Does the “black trackball effect” apply for BlackBerry devices even after the 8900? Sorry folks, we just don’t know yet.
