Due to  so many questions during the last 2 weeks, if Shark Modem would work with the new BlackBerry Storm we decided to write a quick post . Since the UK is ahead of the curve with the BlackBerry Storm release, we decided to use one  of clients to run a quick pilot. He was one of the many users that wanted to know .. Can I use Shark Modem  with my BlackBerry Storm? With Verizon about to release the BlackBerry Storm Phone we’re sure this post will be of interest to all future owners of this great device.  Below we have listed how the test went.

CrackBerry story about Shark Modem and the BlackBerry Storm as a modem

For those that are interested in knowing if Shark Modem works with the new BlackBerry Bold – yes it does!!!  BlackBerry Bold as a modem – download your trial on the our homepage.

Does your BlackBerry seem to be running slower then normal?
Does your applications on your BlackBerry seem to crash regularly when in use?

For those of us who are heavy users that “overwork” our BlackBerry devices, you might be interested an  applications that we discovered just a few weeks back.  The application is called Memoryup – Ram Booster. It’s an application that allows you to get the most of your BlackBerry – emobistudio the owners of the application calls ” memory optimization”. The BlackBerry is a VERY stable mobile device without a question but like any device or electronic component there is a chance of memory issues occuring.

We like the fact the application is configurable and allows you the user to control the application.  After  installing the application about a week ago on my BlackBerry 8820 seems to be ticking right away.  The ability to open applications and programs on my BlackBerry seem to open faster. As a stress test we even used it against Shark Modem which is a heavy memory taxer, it seemed to work well even after 15 minutues of usage. Well instead of listening to our testimony  go over and give it a try (ota download)

Note:  We will testing this application during the next 2 weeks and will report more information as we find it.

Advantages: Ease of use and very user-friendly

Disavantages: We haven’t discovered any yet : )

We love it just as much as you do. It’s like a pass time hobby during your teenage years when you want to take apart every electronically device that you own.  It’s been a while since we featured a BlackBerry Disassembly article and wanted to do one today. Today we are caught a recent post on BlackBerryFaqs on taking apart the new BlackBerry  8820.

**Warning: If you decide to perform this BlackBerry operation – do it at your own risk  : )

Anyway enjoy the pics and stay tune for more BlackBerry Disassembly articles by MobiShark BlackBerry Blog.

Have a nice week!!

BlakBerry BlackBerry Themes

The BlackBerry Storm device hasn’t arrived yet but an awesome BlackBerry theme has. Themes4BB has released a BlackBerry Storm Theme. It’s  clean and the icons are perfect. It’s a whopping $6.99. It’s also available for the BlackBerry Bold too.

Where are you?  It’s Friday night  and ALL of your friends are looking for you to hang out.  Your friends don’t have to look that far now  because there’s another solution besides GPSed.  It’s called Whrrl  (pronounced like whirl)  It’s an application (social site) that allows you to track your friends and family wherever they be on the planet.

So we went over and signed up and it looked pretty neat.  It allows you locate your friends, receive notifications of friends in the immediate area…etc. Also it allows you to locate/rate stores, restaurants to your likings and see how others rate these locations as well.   We will report back once we collect more data in regards to the application. In the meantime go ahead over and check out the site.
