Starting tomorrow, anyone with an iPhone or BlackBerry will be able to locate the closest Desjardins caisse or ATM with only a few clicks on their phone.
Already very accessible with some 2,764 ATMs, 1,396 service centers in more than 645 Quebec municipalities, Desjardins’ presence will now be even stronger thanks to the Site Finder application created for the iPhone and BlackBerry.
The free, practical and easy to use tool will be available to all Desjardins members and clients of other financial institutions who have an iPhone or BlackBerry with GPS capability and Internet access. In just a few seconds, they will be able to obtain the precise location of Desjardins ATMs and Desjardins business centers.
iPhone and BlackBerry users can use the geolocation service at no cost to find the closest point of service. Desjardins members get the double advantage of avoiding user fees at non-Desjardins ATMs.
“We are very proud to once again offer our members leading-edge technological solutions completely free of charge. This new initiative demonstrates our ongoing commitment to understanding and meeting client needs”, said Maureen Dubois, Vice-President of the Financial Services Division at Desjardins.
We’ve seen many mobile banking websites here in the states, but nothing to hit the spot as this application will tomorrow. We’ve got the BofA (Bank of America) launcher that does not download properly for everyone, and some mobilized websites.
Congrats to all those in Quebec!

Out in the Dubai (UAE), Etisalat today announced plans to launch the highly-anticipated BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500 smartphone device in the UAE with it being the first operator in the Gulf region to launch the device.
The BlackBerry Storm is the world’s first “clickable” touch-screen smartphone. The touch-screen depresses ever so slightly when pressed, responding like a physical keyboard to dramatically enhance the user interface and enable easy and precise typing. The touch-screen also supports single-touch, multi-touch and gestures for intuitive and efficient navigation.
“Our customers will soon be able to enjoy the most exciting smartphone available today using Etisalat’s high speed reliable 3.75G HSPA mobile network. Combined with the functionality and network efficiency of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service platforms, users will have access to an unbeatable wireless experience.”
No given date has been released yet, but rumor says to expect something in the next month.

The famous state-owned operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) will launch BlackBerry services by April at last.
The BSNL chairman and managing director Kuldeep Goyal told reporters that: “We have got the required approvals from the government and will launch BlackBerry services by next month.”
At present, four telecom operators – Reliance Communications, Airtel, Vodafone and Tata Teleservices – are providing BlackBerry services.
BlackBerry phones offer a host of services, including allowing users to access their e-mail on the move.
BlackBerry devices, manufactured by the Canada-based Research In Motion (RIM), had earlier come under scrutiny after Indian security agencies expressed concern that the data being transmitted through the device could not be intercepted due to the high encryption codes being used by the company.
However, Canadian Minister of of Industry Tony Clement, after a meeting with Communications Minister A. Raja in February, had said the security concerns over the BlackBerry phones had been ‘resolved as far as possible’.

This is an animated Icon theme for the 8900.
There are 8 icons along the top of the screen. The first two icons are not customizable. The remaining 6 icons are your first 6 icons on your application menu.
The 6 icons on the top will glide to the pillar on the left when scrolled over. When highlighting the Messages and Calendar icon you will see 10 subentries for each, simply scroll down to highlight these entries.
When you scroll down below the 6 icons you will see two small arrows one pointing up and the second pointing down.
When selecting the arrow pointing up 12 more icons will appear. These icons are also customizable. They will be icons 7-18 on your application menu. Scroll up and select the arrow pointing down to hide these icons.
(note: full navigation is available among all 12 icons)
***NOTE: When running the theme for the FIRST time you will notice the images and icons are not where they should be. Simply scroll down once and you should be highlighting the “down arrow” at the bottom of the screen (SIMILAR to the first image below -the down arrow will be raised). Select it and the image will be corrected.***
Special thanks to Link05 for the theme!

Definitely an application everyone must have. It is what it says it is, a weather app. It neatly tells you the weather not only by clicking the app but just looking at the icon! That’s right, the icon changes through out the day based on the current weather. If it’s sunny you’ll see a big sun as an icon. If it’s rainy, youre icon will become a cloud with rain drops falling out of it. Scrolling over to the icon will display the current weather condition as well.
WeatherEye for BlackBerry provides you the following information and allows you to select from any city The Weather Network provides content for:
- Current conditions
- Short-term forecasts
- Long-term forecasts
- Warning updates
