Someone posted this funny list on BlackBerry Messenger! And I must say it is totally true. At least for me. How about you? Do you recognize any similarities?

How the BlackBerry changed you life:

• Checking your phone before even waking up
• Ignoring people became a habit
• Living alone is not a problem anymore
• No need for a high school reunion because everyone is already here
• How everyone is funnier now
• Your thumbs developed a new muscle
• No one has time for you
• Social life is not a problem
‎​• When your battery runs out, even Palestine seems like a small problem!
• It’s not important to read the newspaper or watch the news anymore!
• How the BlackBerry Messenger became faster than women gossip!
• You don’t have to ask about anyone because they shove their news in ur face with the every minute status updates

Here is my very own review of the beta release of the official Twitter application for BlackBerry smartphones. Check it out!

Crackberry.com mentioned the official Twitter application by Research In Motion, which will hopefully be released real soon. You can sign up for an invite code for the beta version that is handed out to people. I can’t wait to get my hands on this application

Right now I am using SocialScope on my BlackBerry as my standard Twitter app. So far SocialScope is in my opinion the best app out there. It really fulfills my Twitter needs. Do you also have a BlackBerry? Which Twitter application do you use?

I love to pimp my BlackBerry! How about you? Check out SW-Box for lots of cool BlackBerry accessories for low prices! Might be a great idea for a Christmas present. Check it out!

Now, it seems that I have been posting videos only on my last couple of blogs. Oh well, here is another one. I was playing with my old iPhone, which I sometimes do to play games and go online with wi-fi. Anyway, it was awhile since I checked out the Apps Store. So I checked it out and randomly searched for Madonna. And I found a free Madonna (unofficial) app, called M. Radio! It’s really cool! Check out my video below.

Wishing there was a BlackBerry Madonna app. That would be awesome!

I just ordered (thanks to my dad) two cool BlackBerry cases! One is totally blingin’ and one is totally pimpin’! I got the Diamond Rhinestone Bling Plastic Hard Case and the Tattoo Pattern Convex Edge Case of Ed Hardy, both for my fabulous BlackBerry Bold! And I got them both for 15 dollars, including shipping and handling! Isn’t that cool? Quite a bargain there. I got it from SW Box who sell BlackBerry accesories. Bring on the blingin’ and the pimpin’! Loves it!

RIM, Research In Motion, suprised us with a release of BlackBerry Theme Studio 5.0, a nifty free program which allows you to create your own BlackBerry themes as well as creating mobile websites, animated content, and so on. I have downloaded the program and it is pretty much similar as their previous product, Plazmic.

I have yet to try out the new Theme Studio, see if I can familiar myself with the whole theme building process. So far it looks good and I noticed that it is OS5.0 ready. Pretty cool. Which means that hopefully an official release of OS5.0 for the BlackBerry will be released soon. Right? Hopefully!

Download the free software from the official BlackBerry website. You can find more information as well as support on all things regarding BlackBerry content development. A must see for all BlackBerry addicts. Even if you’re not into the whole technical stuff.

You know that Crackberry.com has this video contest, right? The one I also participated on. Anyway, many video submissions are just way better than my little confession on video. Check out this video called Crackberry Therapy. I can totally relate! And the people around me will probably agree with me! Love this video. It’s brilliant!

Come join the party! With the fabulous new BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 I have created a BlackBerry Group for all Madonna fans out there. A little hang out where you can chat with other Madonna fanatics all over the world who also have a BlackBerry Device. Share Madonna pictures, news and much more. This is only possible if you have the new BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 installed. If you haven’t installed the new BBM, click here to do so.

Below you see the Madonna Fans BBM barcode. If you have BBM5.0 installed and you have a camera on your BlackBerry device, simple scan over the barcode with you BlackBerry and you will automatically join the Madonna Fans group. It’s easy as that! Like I said: come join the party!

Ooh, la la! The new BlackBerry Bold 9700 has been officially announced! And it really looks like a must have. Hmm, what to do? Either way, I have no choice but sticking with my current 9000 Bold, which I am still totally satisfied with. Ah, I will just fantasize. Check out the official new video for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the official press release from RIM.
