Blackberry Storm review update.

After a little over three months of hard use I wanted to give an update.The storm really fits with a unique user.If you are doing heavy email or work from your phone then the BB Curve or Bold would work better.Over the last three months there have been two official Verizon software updates which really helped the performance a ton.But what really made the most difference is the beta release I got off Crackberry.com.Version .103 made 99% of the problems go away.Typing ,which was really bad in the beginning has become pretty good.In fact I am posting this from a wedding rehearsal my wife is in.There were some issues with the accelerometer,gone.Issues with the device crashing are totally gone.There are a number of refinements that just make things so much smoother.While not perfect I finally feel like I can recommend the Storm to more than you geeks.So who is the phone for?Well those of you who want the cool media applications and large screen its perfect.Surf the web a lot then this phone is amazing.At least on par with the Iphone.The one limit is that the Iphone has a lot more applications.But BB will catch up.My father in law Jerry has a Storm and I think he likes his.I love mine and get excited at every new app and tweak.Shira is always making fun of me.

Poynt for Blackberry devices

As our mobile devices get more complicated so do the applications that we download for them.Poynt is a little different.It takes a few of really important mobile functions and makes them super simple.Its basically a GPS based search for the basic things you might need while out. When you open the aplication its really simple.You have a phone book symbol,a movie ticket symbol and a search symbol.All you have to do is choose one of the three and it walks you through some simple steps from there.Lets say I choose the movie button.It then gives me a list of 5 choices,but the one I will focus on is theaters near me.Click it and a list of theaters within your chosen distance pops up.You can then choose a theater and another menu gives you some choices such as movies playing or call fandango.If you choose movies playing it lists the movies and times.For now it does not allow you to buy tickets,but you can see a preview if you have a capable phone and reviews/details.All the info you need is accessable in 20 seconds or less.The other search buttons work the same.You just type in what you want and it gives you a very detailed list and options on each choice.The reason why I love this is that its so simple and easy to use. No messing with un optomized web pages or laggy browsers.Its also available for your pc,but with a full keyboard and google it seems a little redundant. For your mobile device its a home run.
