BlackBerry Storm Navigation and GPS Apps

BlackBerry has upgraded its App World to version 1.1, speeding load times, improving search functions, and adding "top free" and "top paid" categories. BlackBerry users may also sort results by most popular, newest, and highest rated. For example, the top GPS application under free apps is Where, which provides "essential information about the places and things around you." The three top rated GPS apps are nRange Golf GPS, WhereRYu (friend locator), and TeleNav GPS Navigator. The new App World also lets you load apps onto a microSD card, and includes a memory status bar. This was a much-needed App World upgrade. From your BlackBerry, visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/download to start the upgrade.

April, 2009 update: BlackBerry has introduced its new BlackBerry App World, including GPS apps. Here are the system requirements:
-BlackBerry Device Software version 4.2 or higher.
-BlackBerry smartphones with trackballs or SurePress touch screen.
-BlackBerry App World is only available to customers in the US, Canada and UK, and may not be available on all networks.

To use BlackBerry App World, you must have a service plan that includes access to the BlackBerry browser. Here's how to check your operating system from your BlackBerry smartphone:
Click "Options" from your BlackBerry smartphone. Select "About," then click. Your operating system information will be displayed.

I found BlackBerry App World to be easy to download and install on my BlackBerry. When installed, it appears in the "downloads" area of the main menu. Once in the App World, you will see images, summaries, and user reviews of apps. You may search by categories, "top downloads," and a text search box.

Two disadvantages: you'll need a PayPal account to download paid apps. There is currently no other way to pay. Also, apps tend to be priced higher ($9.99 to $19.99+ apps are common) than those in Apple's iPhone App Store.

Research in Motion (RIM) has released its contender in the smartphone touchscreen category, the BlackBerry Storm. Like its established rival, the Apple iPhone 3G, the BlackBerry Storm features a large (3.25-inch diagonal) color touchscreen that automatically switches between vertical and horizontal views. The large screen makes the Storm a better platform for GPS applications than its more business-like BlackBerry predecessors.

The smartphone has GPS built in, of course, and a long list of features (below). The Storm comes with BlackBerry Maps included. The BlackBerry Maps app works much like MapQuest, letting you find destinations by address and points of interest on a map, but does not offer spoken turn-by-turn directions.

Here's more about Blackberry Maps from RIM:

• Interactive maps allow you to easily pan left, right, up and down and zoom in and out while viewing locations and directions.
• Local search – Looking for a cup of coffee? Nearest hospital or post office? Locate your options within a 30-km radius**. Enter a search term like ‘pizza’ to view a list of places to grab a slice.
• Works with other BlackBerry applications — send maps via email and launch maps from other applications, including viewing the home or work address of contacts from your address book on a map.
• Bookmark your favorite locations to keep them handy for future reference.
• Plan your route, displaying it visually on the map with step-by-step instructions.
• Fully optimized for BlackBerry smartphones — provides fast loading times and efficient data usage.
• Maps are drawn dynamically — provides fast map re-draws so you can pan, zoom and rotate maps quickly.

Third-party applications provide additional navigation and location-based services.

BlackBerry 7130e Review

The Bottom Line

Good productivity phone with some software annoyances. Mostly for those who need mobile email more than anything else.

Pros

• Reasonable, but not superior, battery life
• Good keypad. SureType helps but does not equal a full keyboard

Cons

• Somewhat cumbersome software
• A bit bulky, at 4.70 ounces, but still smaller than regular BlackBerry devices
• Speakerphone volume could be higher

Description

• Technology support: CDMA
• BlackBerry Push email
• SureType almost-full keyboard

Guide Review - BlackBerry 7130e Review

Believe it or not, this was my first time reviewing a BlackBerry 7100 series device, even though they have been around for more than a year. Too busy, but I just tried the BlackBerry 7130e. First impressions: BlackBerry's have always been and will always be work-oriented phones. So if you are looking for a leisure phone, read no further. No camera, no MP3 playback, clearly, this is not a trendy teenager phone.

The BlackBerry 7100 series is clearly for those who like the BlackBerry approach of push email but prefer a form factor closer to a phone. Some software features were annoying me: one of them forces you to use the trackwheel to select an answer whenever you missed a call, got a voice mail or various other system alerts where you need to select "listen" or "cancel", etc. Why can't I just press the red key and skip to something else? Sound quality was good, as well as earpiece volume, but the speakerphone could have a higher output volume. It's more difficult to get used to the BlackBerry 7100 series as to most other phones but once you get used to it, there are some nice rewards, such as a series of quick in-phone shortcut keys that make things more productive. The BlackBerry 7130e is for workers who see value in handset-based email and don't need or want multimedia features.

BlackBerry Bold Review

After lots of publicity and plenty of delays, the BlackBerry Bold is here. Touted as RIM's answer to Apple's iPhone, the Bold offers 3G service, Wi-Fi support, built-in GPS, music and video players, and an absolutely gorgeous screen. Overall, the Bold is the best BlackBerry I've seen so far.

The BlackBerry Bold will be available from AT&T for $300 when you sign a new two-year contract. If you don't want to sign a contract, you can expect to pay about $650 for the phone at retailers like Best Buy. That's a steep price for a smartphone. So what do you get for your money?

Design

You get a very handsome phone. Like most BlackBerrys (except for the Pearl Flip), the Bold is a candybar-style phone, with its LCD on top and a full QWERTY keyboard below. The phone itself is primarily black, with silver accents.

PROS: The Bold features the best display I've seen on a smartphone--ever. Video was incredibly clear, colors were vibrant, and text was sharp. The phone itself is a bit wide--it's noticeably wider than an iPhone, for example--but that extra space allows for a fairly room keyboard and easy typing. The keys themselves have slight ridges that prevent your fingers from slipping.

CONS: The Bold features BlackBerry's trademark trackball, which you can use to scroll through menus and around Web pages. I found this one a bit harder to use than it should be; it didn't always seem to resond to my scrolling. My only other complaint about the Bold's design is its "leather like" backing. It just doesn't seem to fit with the sleek, modern look of the phone's front side.

Making Calls

An angled view of the BlackBerry Bold.

RIM

PROS: The Bold is a world phone; its supports the four GSM bands (850, 900, 1800, and 1900) that are most commonly used around the world. (Keep in mind that you'll need a compatible calling plan to make calls overseas, though.) I also found the Bold relatively light and comfortable to hold next to my ear. Voices were loud, too; I could hear my callers easily and they said the same about me.

CONS: I heard a slight hiss on many of my calls. It wasn't loud enough to distort voices, but it was noticeable.

Browsing the Web

PROS: This is where the Bold's 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity really shine. In my travels around Boston and the suburbs, I found Web access very speedy. Pages loaded quickly and files downloaded with ease. And everything looks great on the Bold's stellar screen. The Bold features the same updated BlackBerry browser that I liked on the Pearl Flip. It lets you zoom in and out, so you can more easily read small text.

CONS: Some Web pages didn't respond well to the Bold's browser. While most pages looked great, some were mangled.

Messaging

PROS: Like all BlackBerry smartphones, the Bold is a messaging marvel. It will handle up to 10 e-mail accounts, and just about every account type (personal and professional) is supported. Setup is a breeze, and the Bold's 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity let you access messages and attachments quickly.

CONS: The Bold comes with BlackBerry Messenger and Google Talk installed, but it lacks any of the other popular IM clients, like AOL's AIM or Yahoo Messenger.

Software

PROS: The Bold comes with several applications installed, include the Documents To Go suite, which allows to view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. You also get access to AT&T Navigator, which provides turn-by-turn directions, and various productivity tools, like a task manager, a sales management app, and news and weather information apps.

CONS: The Bold comes with the Standard Edition of Documents To Go, which doesn't allow you to create new Microsoft Office documents. For that capability, you'll have to upgrade to the $70 Premium Edition. And while BlackBerry is working on an application store that will offer its users an Apple App Store-like experience, it's not ready yet.

Multimedia

PROS: The Bold's multimedia features really show off its stellar screen. AT&T's video service (called CV) offers pre-packaged video clips from programs like ESPN's SportsCenter and Comedy Central's The Daily Show. Video looked absolutely stunning on the Bold's screen. The Bold also offers you a choice of music services: You can select music services from Napster, eMusic, or XM Satellite Radio. The Bold will also allow you to load your own digital music files to the phone for playback. The Bold also comes with a 2-megapixel camera (with a flash) that also captures video clips.

CONS: Most of the services cost extra; you'll have to pay a monthly fee for all of the music services, for example.

We waited a long time for the Bold to arrive--and it looks like the wait was worth it. Overall, the Bold is the best BlackBerry I've seen yet. Its sleek design and absolutely stunning screen will appeal to consumers, while business users will love its messaging features. It's definitely expensive, but you get a lot for your money.

BlackBerry Curve 8320 Review

BlackBerry's smartphones weren't always known for their good looks. But looking at the BlackBerry Curve 8320, it's hard to remember that there was a time when RIM was known for making bland, boring phones. The BlackBerry Curve, with its softly curved and colorful design, is anything but bland. And if you're one of those smartphone shoppers who think looks aren't everything, you'll be happy to know that the BlackBerry Curve performs well, too. It offers top-notch e-mail handling and the ability to place voice calls over Wi-Fi networks.

Design

The Curve 8320 is available from T-Mobile in three colors: titanium gray, gold, or sunset red. The gray is the most business-like of the three; the sunset red shade is the boldest and the brightest.

PROS: In any color, the BlackBerry Curve is a good-looking phone. It's only .6 inches thick and weighs just 3.9 ounces, and it fits nicely in the palm of your hand. The keyboard is small but easy to use, and the display is bright and clear.

CONS: Not many to speak of, though people with large fingers may find the keyboard a bit too small. One other, albeit minor, complaint: The Curve lacks a touchscreen, a feature that is becoming more popular on smartphones.

Making Calls

PROS: The Curve supports T-Mobile's $10-per-month Unlimited HotSpot Calling service. This allows you to make voice calls over a Wi-Fi network (either your home or office network, or a public hotspot), rather than over a cellular network. This allows you to make calls in areas where cellular coverage may be spotty. It can also allow you to avoid using all of your voice minutes making calls, as calls placed over Wi-Fi networks don't count as voice minutes on your service plan.

CONS: Voice quality is only decent, both over cellular networks and Wi-Fi networks; over both networks, voices sometimes sounded choppy and words were sometimes garbled. Also, I had some problems when the Curve handed calls off from my Wi-Fi network to a cellular network. The transition is supposed to be seamless; that is, you should be able to start a call over Wi-Fi, then when you leave the range of the wireless network, T-Mobile's cellular network should automatically pick up the call, allowing you to continue chatting. My experience wasn't as smooth: I found that calls were likely to drop as soon as I left the range of the Wi-Fi network I was on.

Browsing the Web

PROS: The Curve 8320 supports Wi-Fi; this allows speedier surfing when you're in range of a wireless network.

CONS: When a Wi-Fi network is unavailable, you're limited to T-Mobile's pokey EDGE network for surfing. It's not a 3G network, and it shows. Page loads can be slow. The Curve's browser formats pages for viewing on the smartphone's screen, but this can be a bit of a drag. Photos are often stripped out, and you're not likely to see a lot of content on one screen.

Messaging

PROS: Messaging is the highlight of any BlackBerry smartphone, and the Curve 8320 is no exception. It supports almost any type of e-mail system you can think of, including business accounts that run on Lotus Notes, and will handle up to 10 e-mail accounts. It also includes most of the popular instant messaging clients, including AOL's AIM, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, and Windows Live.

Software

PROS: You can download applications from a variety of sources, including mobile.blackberry.com. This allows you to pick and choose which applications you'd like installed on your phone. And BlackBerry users now have an application that allows them to work with Microsoft Office files on their phones: eOffice for BlackBerry from DynoPlex.

CONS: While you can download apps, you often have to pay for them, and many of the titles are pricey. DynoPlex's eOffice, for example, costs $70. And while the number of titles for BlackBerry phones is growing, you still won't find as many applications as you will for Windows Mobile- or Palm-based smartphones.

Multimedia

PROS: The included audio and video player is easy to use and supports most popular file formats, such as MP3, WMA, and WMV files. Transferring files to your Curve from your computer is easy, using the included BlackBerry Desktop Manager software and USB cable. The 2-megapixel camera took some very good snapshots, especially when used outdoors. It includes a 5X digital zoom.

CONS: To capture a snapshot, you press the trackball that sits directly below the screen. To activate the camera's digital zoom, you scroll the trackball. I often found myself adjusting the zoom when I meant to press the button completely to take a photo. This caused me to miss a few shots I hoped to capture. One other complaint: Videos don't display in full-screen size. Instead, they're shown in a smaller square within the media player interface, which leaves you looking at a very, very small picture.

The BlackBerry Curve 8320 is available from T-Mobile for $150 when signing a new two-year service agreement. And if T-Mobile is not your carrier of choice, you can find other versions of the Curve--which are very similar to the 8320 reviewed here--from AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. Whichever carrier you opt for, the BlackBerry Curve is an excellent smartphone, with plenty of features to back up its good looks.

BlackBerry Curve 8900

Research In Motion has overhauled its popular BlackBerry Curve smartphone with the 8900. This new model features a slim design, an excellent camera, and an absolutely gorgeous screen. Unfortunately, it lacks support for high-speed 3G networks, but if you can get past that omission, you'll find the Curve 8900 to be one of the best smartphones around.

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 will be available from T-Mobile on February 11 for $200 (after a $100 rebate) when signing a new two-year contract.

Design

PROS: The Curve 8900 is BlackBerry's slimmest full-QWERTY smartphone yet, measuring just a hair more than half and inch thick. Its case is black with chrome-colored edging, making it look a lot like the BlackBerry Bold. The 8900 is slightly smaller than the Bold, though, measuring 4.3 inches tall by 2.4 inches wide.

The screen measures 2.4 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 480 by 360--that's even higher than the resolution of the Bold's display. I used to think the Bold's screen was the best I'd ever seen on smartphone, but not anymore. The Curve's screen is gorgeous, displaying crisp graphics and bright colors. Everything from text to streaming video looked great.

The keyboard is small, but I still found thumb typing easy. The phone is light, too, weighing just 3.9 ounces.

CONS: The only real downside to the 8900's design is the fact that much of it is made of plastic. While that helps keep the phone light, it does feel a tad bit cheap.

Making Calls

PROS: The Curve 8900's small size and light weight make it comfortable to hold next to your ear, and I found voice quality to be very good. The Curve 8900 is a quad-band GSM phone; that means you'll be able to make voice calls in many countries outside the U.S.

You also can make voice calls over Wi-Fi networks, in addition to over cellular networks. This can allow you to make voice calls in places where you have a wireless network, but the cellular coverage is spotty.

CONS: Making voice calls over wireless networks can save you from using the voice minutes on your monthly plan, but it does require signing up for T-Mobile's Unlimited HotSpot Calling plan, which costs $10 per month.

Browsing the Web

PROS: The included BlackBerry browser is excellent: It displays Web pages just as you would see them on a computer screen, and lets you zoom in and out easily.

CONS: The 8900 supports both Wi-Fi networks and EDGE data networks, but notably missing is support for a true 3G network like HSDPA. That means you'll have to rely on the availability of a Wi-Fi network for high-speed data access.

Messaging

PROS: Like all BlackBerry phones, the 8900 is a messaging champ. It will support 10 personal or business e-mail accounts, and setting them up is a breeze. Several instant messaging applications, including AOL's AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, and Windows Live Messenger, come pre-installed. You also get support for text and multimedia messaging.

Software

PROS: The Curve 8900 runs the updated version of the BlackBerry OS that we've seen on the Pearl Flip, Bold, and the Storm -- and that's a good thing. And, like those phones, the Curve 8900 has the DataViz Docs To Go editing suite preinstalled. And you can use the Curve 8900 to access BlackBerry App World, where you can browse through and download software applications directly to your phone.

CONS: The Curve 8900 comes with the Standard Edition of Documents To Go, which doesn't allow you to create new Microsoft Office documents. For that capability, you'll have to upgrade to the $70 Premium Edition.

Multimedia

PROS: The included 3.2-megapixel camera has auto-focus, a flash, and digital zoom, and it captured some great snapshots. You also get support for stereo Bluetooth and built-in GPS, as well as a decent--though basic--audio and video player. Video clips look great when played back on the Curve's screen, though.

CONS: Unlike the other nationwide cellular carriers, T-Mobile doesn't offer a lot in the way of multimedia services. It doesn't offer a music store or a video service that can compare to AT&T's CV video service or Verizon's V Cast offerings. That means you'll have to purchase your own music and videos on your computer and transfer them to the phone yourself.

Overall, I was really impressed with the BlackBerry Curve 8900. It could benefit from 3G connectivity, but even without it, this is one of the best smartphones I've seen
