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.

There are rumors floating around that BlackBerry App World will start offering BlackBerry Themes for download on November 9th .  I never really understood why, with the popularity of BlackBerry Themes, App World didn’t offer them from the time that they first launched, but, for whatever reason that this was the case, it looks like RIM has gotten over it. For those of you that don’t want to wait until RIM gets around to letting you download themes directly to your BlackBerry via BlackBerry App World, you should really check out the RIMarkable App Store powered by Mobihand.  Like App World, the RIMarkable App Store allows you to browse, download, and install from a huge selection of FREE! and premium BlackBerry applications and we already have access to thousands of BlackBerry themes that you can download over the air directly to your device.
