Yahtzee!

2009-03-16T12:03:00.000-07:00

Well I was reading on another site and it mentioned that a new storm game has just came out, Yahtzee. For those of you who do not know what yahtzee is, it is a game where you roll five dice and try to get certain numbers with them. for instance, you might want to try and get four threes and two ones. It is hard to explain so go to crackberry.com and download it. This game looks OK on the blackberry storm and you cannot beat the 2.99 price tag.

Fix Blackberry Storm Click Problem

2009-03-15T19:20:00.000-07:00

Do you have a blackberry storm that doesn't click when you push the corners or other parts of the screen, or does it just not click how you want it to. Well, nine in ten storms have this problem according to a survey that I made up for this post. Pictures will come soon but here are the instructions NOW.

1) Take the back piece off of the blackberry storm.

2) Get a screwdriver that will fit the screw right next to the CDMA slot, I picked one up at Home Depot.

3) Get a needle, peel the red sticker with the white dash off, save this because this is the warrenty sticker, it will not be a problem as long as you are careful.

4) Loosen the screws until you are happy with the click, if the click goes away then you loosened it too much or tightened it too much.

5) Comment on any problems that you have.

New segment on the site, wow the first day it is up and there is already a new segment, but anyway, here is a new site that I found that will let you get all kinds of covers for your blackberry, the cover of the day is going to be from dinglife.com. An amazing site that gives you hundreds of covers for different items such as your nintendo wii, blackberry storm obviously, etc. The case of the day is the slipknot cover, not my favorite band (that would be disturbed but you don't/shouldn't care about that) but it is a cover that is cool and at the same time does not take away from the sleekness of the blackberry.

Just a quick note, nobody will ever pay me to make a shout out to their website, I found this website and I thought it was cool, don't get mad at me and say that I am trying to make money or something.

Labyrinth, For the Blackberry Storm

2009-03-15T15:21:00.000-07:00

So the first game for this blog, I used to use this game on the iphone, you basically have to tilt the blackberry storm and navigate your ball into the finishing hole avoiding the other losing holes. It makes more sense when you look at the picture. This is only in beta so there are alot of noticible glitches like sometimes the ball goes over the holes and through the walls, but if you really want this game then try it out. There are ten levels to try out. I am looking forward to the paid version, lets hope that it comes soon.

2009-03-15T15:14:00.000-07:00

I have actually used this since the first week that I got my blackberry and would like to post about it now. This is a website called seeqpod.com/m. basically what you do is navigate to it, search for a song and then download it OTA to you blackberry at no charge to you, sound too good to be true, well it isn't, everything is auto tagged so it will seem like it is synced right from your computer. It works best if you download from opera but it does work from the blackberry browser. Go on there is no subscription or sign up sheet or anything so go ahead and try it out.

SLACKER Radio For Blackberry Storm A Reality

2009-03-15T14:53:00.000-07:00

Alright now for some really exciting news... Slacker radio finally has made software for the blackberry storm. Slacker is personalized internet radio, you choose a song and it will give you other songs that it thinks that you might like or you can choose and already made station like comedy. OK, I have tried this software out on the blackberry storm and it is pretty good, once you start listening to the stations it is ok, it is just the selection process that is difficult. What i mean by that is that it is so slow that it just makes it hard to use, it can take up to thirty seconds from choosing the station to actually listening to a song. Once the bugs are worked out I am sure that this will be great software but until then you can try it out but it will be hard to use. Head on over to slacker.com for your free OTA download. There is a free version which will allow you to skip up to four songs (I think) and the paid $3/permonth for unlimited skip, commercial free radio.

NEW LEAKED FIRMWARE!!!!!

2009-03-15T14:41:00.001-07:00

Well, it looks like there has been another leaked firmware for your blackberry storm, firmware version 4.7.0.114 . From the reviews that I have read so far it looks like it is slower when compared to 4.7.0.9 . I have used .09 and it has been really good so far so I see no reason to switch. This does have a better text selection so if you have been wanting that really bad and do not care about the sluggishness (think i spelled that right) then search for this on google (for legal reasons I will not post the link) and try it out and tell me how you like it.
