I installed the new upgraded Blackberry 5.0 OS on my Storm 1 and WOW… what a difference.  Typing on the Storm is now way easier and with fewer mistakes.  The OS seems to be much faster and the look and feel overall is a much needed improvement.   So if you have not upgraded to the NEW 5.0 OS I would suggest you do so.

To get the new OS all you have to do is plug your Blackberry to your Laptop or PC and start the Blackberry desktop and it will search for the latest updates and OS and it should have the option to load the new 5.0 OS.

Every sports fan wants the ability to stream the games to their phones.  Well, this year Major League Baseball released an app that broadcasted full games to iPhone users. It was a popular application for the 2009 season, and should continue to grow next year. The only problem is that there don’t seem to be any plans for a BlackBerry version. The  NBA just launched a streaming iPhone app, but unlike MLB they’ve already announced their BlackBerry intentions. Fans should have an NBA BlackBerry app by the end of the year, which will make available up to 40 games per week.

The NBA League Pass Mobile costs $39.99 on the iPhone and Android platforms, so expect that for the BlackBerry.  Unless your a die hard fan… thats hard to shell out for.

Looks like Rogers is the first carrier to offer the new BlackBerry Bold 9700.  The device is now available via the Rogers website and you can pick it up for $299.99 on a three-year service plan.
