Your BlackBerry is important to you. It gets really annoying handling it with too much care, in fear that it will drop and scratch up. Otterbox provides the best solution for you in which their cases are 100% resistant to scratchs, buffs and side cracks. The famous Defender Case by Otterbox provides a 3 layer solution. First you have the thermal clear sheet that goes all around the BlackBerry but does NOT have the annoying adhesive substance that makes your phone very sticky. Next comes the hard shell case which is pretty much indestructible. Put your BlackBerry into it by clicking the case all around then apply the third final layer which is a thick silicon housing. After all is said and done, you won’t even be bother by dropping your phone here and there. The Otterbox goes for $49.95 and includes a belt clip to go along with it as well. The Otterbox is available for all BlackBerry devices ranging from the 81xx Pearl, 83xx Curve, 88xx, 8900 Curve, 9000 Bold, 95xx Storm, 85xx Curve, 9630 Tour, and many more!

Here’s a great video to walk you through the all new leaked BlackBerry Storm OS version 5.0.0.191 that’s been all over the Internet for the past few weeks. You’ll get to see the incredible features of “flick scrolling” which the iPhone had and the Storm lacked in for quite awhile. The OS is obviously a lot more fast and responsive than its olver 4.7+ versions.

In promotion of the all new Windows 7 operating system releasing for the PC, here’s a theme based on it. The backgrounds and icons are very similar to what you will expect to see in the new OS (for Windows that is). You get a 5 icon customizable dock on the bottom along with some indicators down there on the far right as well. This keeps your desktop really clean looking, allowing you to set nice images as your wallpaper and seeing them in full. Special thanks to KrisR9706 for providing this great theme. The OTA link is available below the screenshots. Enjoy.

Prices have just gone even lower. It wasn’t too long ago that Verizon put their BlackBerry Storm 9530 at $99.99 making it 50% cheaper. Now we see that it has taken another 50% price cut making it only $50 to purchase with a plan now. Are these all standard procedures leading to the release of the Storm 2? I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised with all the rumors and leaked images showing that it will be released before the end of this year.

Miscellaneous Thoughts »

In recent news, a man who had refused to hand over his BlackBerry to a thief got stabbed to death this past Friday. The victim named Akeel Mathieson was leaving an Internet cafe (assumed to have a BlackBerry at hand) when a man came out of nowhere placing a knife to his neck and demanded to take his brand new device. Akeel refused to give it up and got stabbed in the chest one time. After the thief took his BlackBerry and ran away, Akeel had attempted to make his way back to the Internet cafe and ended up collapsing, said the police. It wasn’t late at night or anything as it was only 5:15PM over on Lord Stree in San Fernando.
