riddler 0 #8 November 8, 2009 QuoteHow do you know where to find them? If you've had your BB for a while, you need to download the latest OS from Blackberry - that means downloading the OS from the BB website, hooking up your computer to the thing, and installing it to the phone. It'll take a bit of time to do all that. But once you have, you'll have a new program called "Blackberry app world". You can then surf around for Blackberry apps. There aren't as many as for the iPhone, but there are more than enough to keep you busy. I use Viigo and Facebook frequently, Xenouzu and Shazam once in a while.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Heatmiser 0 #15 November 9, 2009 Google "iphone jailbreaking". I was making a allusion to my personal opinion that a jailbroken iphone is much more useable, and interesting. Internet tethering, video camera on the 3g, customizable themes, are some of the benefits. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience.

boinky 0 #17 November 10, 2009 I was told that I just had to get a "Barcode Scanner" app. But after looking at some of the reviews of it, I'm scratching my head and wondering why in the world I want it? If I'm going to be scanning a barcode, it's undoubtedly going to be for something I want to buy that day. According to most of the reviews of several different apps of that type, they all complain that there's no local stores. Anyone have an opinion on this app?Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

jbh186 0 #18 November 10, 2009 Winterboard Cydia I was hesitant to jailbreak the phone, but after reading a ton of shit, I decided to give it a try. No issues at all, and removed all the ridiculous limitations Apple put on it. Screenshots attached... Anyone know the best app for tethering? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatmiser 0 #19 November 10, 2009 Pdanet does well, it requires you to create an adhoc wireless network (very easy) then it uses your 3g to tether. Also if you want to pay, MyWi gives you a 10 day free trial, but then they want a 10 dollar fee to continue. Of course, remember, AT&T are not supporting tethering, so they could end up charging you. Depends on what you're doing with it. P2P downloads all month, maybe. Internet browsing, prob not. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience.

There are a few good sites: crackberry.com, Bplay.com Usually you can also simply google "blackberry free _____" and the type of app you are looking for and you will likely come across something, which may end up being free or not.*I am not afraid of dying...

A lot of people don't know that if you simply hit the 'back' key to leave a program it stays running in the background. You need to actually go to the menu and 'close or exit' the program to keep memory freed up. I have a STORM and found an app called "QuickPull" this simulates a battery pull, you can set it for 4am and it keeps your memory freed up. I use to have the same problem with Epocrates crashing my phone until I set QuickPull to run before Epocrates updates. Haven't had a prob since and the phone is quicker in general. Pretty sure you can get it for the Curve etc... too. I think I saw that Medscape also came out with a drug reference but haven't looked into it yet.*I am not afraid of dying...

FlyingJ 0 #24 December 5, 2009 My favorite iphone application of late is Pocket Universe. You can hold your phone up and scan around the sky and it shows you what constellations, planets, etc. in your field of view. You can also look at "tonight's sky" and see what should be visible. Do a "find" search and it will guide you until you are pointing in the right direction, etc. For many of the features in the sky you can link to a Wiki article on it as well. Not sure it will do you much good living in a big town with lots of light pollution, but out here in rural country it's amazing!!!Killing threads since 2004.
