Are you in the market for a BlackBerry Storm 2?  As many are excited for it, there are some things you should look out for when purchasing it.  Salomondrin put together a procedure of what to do when you first get your device.  We’re not trying to make you turn your back on the device or any by this, but just as any other device that launches, there are always chances for defects that I suggest everyone should look out for.

The hype over the BlackBerry watch has finally ended.  We were keeping tabs on the new gadget for a few months now and we see that inPulse has put it up on its website for pre-orders at the moment.  inPulse is the company who makes these watches as it is NOT a BlackBerry branded watch.  The accessory can come quite handy as it isn’t for everyone.  Some folks would prefer looking at certain messages and emails on their watch, especially if it is dug deep in their pockets and meeting of some sort is currently occuring.  Of course, the watch connects to your BlackBerry smartphone via Bluetooth, so keeping that connection on is a must.  So what exactly can you see throug the watch?  Check out incoming emails, SMS messages, and calls all on one screen sitting on your wrist.

storm2

The launch is more official than ever now.  October 28th has been the last suspected date since early last week, and now we see RIM and Verizon Wireless confirming that the details are indeed true.  We got the full press release for you folks to show you what the companies have to say about the latest success of their Storm series BlackBerry devices.  As we all know the previous Storm 9500/9530 did not go so well, RIM is trying to redeem itself and keep its great reputation by recreating the Storm device, making it a dominant one, rather than flushing it down the toilet and start cooking something else up.

STORMOS

As many had suspected that OS 5.0 for the BlackBerryStorm 9530 would release around the same time the Storm 2 would launch, it actually happened.  With the Storm 2 just around the corner, Verizon Wireless has introduced OS 5.0.0.238 for the Storm 9530 making plenty of folks finally happy.  It’s been almost a year of misery for folks who had the original Storm with OS 4.7 causing freezes, lags, and errors.  OS 5.0 has a lot of nice improvements including flawless movement without the “hour glass” or clock coming up any more.

Curious as to whether or not your BlackBerry will be getting an OS 5.0 update?  The lucky chosen list was found on the official BlackBerry site under Support & Services.  There will be some disappoints for some as your device may not appear here.  Many of us were thrown off seeing that the BlackBerry Curve 8330 was getting OS 5.0 leaks, which hinted that other 83xx series could get the OS as well, but in reality we were wrong.  It looks like the only Curve devices getting  OS 5.0 are the 8330, 8350i, and 8900.  The 81xx Pearl series is getting phased out it looks like, as we should be introduced the 91xx series devices as soon as early next year.  Continue reading to check out the full list of OS 5.0 compatible devices.

The folks over at CB got their hands on the BlackBerry Curve 8530 for Verizon Wireless.  As we see in the screenshot, OS 5.0 is installed on the device, but we are all uncertain if the device will come with it loaded on there or is just there now as a prototype.  What was really interesting to see is that the box labeled Curve 2, rather than 8530.  People are certain that this is just an internal code name for it, but I don’t see it being unrealistic as the all new Storm 9550 is being titled the Storm2.  So where’s the big excitement and downfall in this device?  You’ll be getting WiFi built in, but no camera flash.  There are many out there who really don’t care about the camera flash, while other see it as the missing link.  As far as the WiFi goes,  we have the BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 coming with it equipped, as well as the next BlackBerry Tour which will sacrifice its trackball for the new trackpad, and grow some WiFi modules.

Here’s a great way to label your self in the BlackBerry Developer Conference.  Forget just differentiating yourself through a user name.  Why don’t you make your own avatar and really represent yourself that way?  BlackBerry has just released a Build your own BlackBerry Developer Conference Avatar right on their site.  When making one, you can fully customize your character as you please.  From changing hair color and texture, to switching up outfits, your avatar can get quite creative. After making one, you come to a screen where you can have the avatar placed on a t-shirt so you can wear it on the day of the conference November 2nd, in San Francisco, CA.  Be your own self today.  Rock your own style.  Make an avatar.
