On crackberry.com blog – well sorta

I was reading crackberry.com and noticed two little words there, “thanks acedanger” that linked to the request/feedback category on the WordPress for Blackberry forum.

If you read here at all, you may remember that I posted something about the app where, pointing out that you couldn’t paste a URL in the dialog box that appeared. Ranaan found my post and created a topic about the issue.

The paste URL issue was added to the last beta version of the software, version 0.9.0.134.

Google Voice Blackberry app

Google created a Blackberry app (OTA link here) to help further integrate your Google Voice account in your phone. It’s a very cool application and I really like it. The only problem I had with it is that I actually had to *gasp* read the help documentation to figure out how to send a test message through it!

To send a text message using the Google Voice Blackberry app, go to the dialer tab, type the phone number that you want to send the text to, hit the blackberry menu and then select SMS and *then* you will be given an area to type out your text message.

Check out the Google Voice feature list.

Replacing my Blackberry Storm

I just filed a claim to replace my blackberry storm. I dropped my phone and cracked my screen about a week or so ago. The crack has spread just shy of the other side of the screen and I finally determined it was time to have it replaced. I’m also looking for a new case at this point, one that I can use all the time. I just bought a Seidio Innocase II so hopefully that will help this to never happen again!
