Bold 9000 updated by AT&T

For all of those still rocking the 9000, rejoice!  AT&T has decided not to forget the on of the original gamerchangers, and updated you to 5.0.0.822 today.  Most companies are notorious for updating older phones or phones that have left the spotlight, so it’s nice to see that AT&T has not done this.  Let us know of any changes you find!

Leak: OS 5.0.0.882 for the Bold 9000, 8520, and 8900

Wow, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen any leaked OS’s for any devices. We’re not exactly on top of them as we’re here primarily for other reasons and we’re more interested in BlackBerry 6 than every loose end RIM has yet to tie up with all the different OS versions for each device. Either way, this is the highest OS version number we’ve seen yet for any of these three devices! There is no changelog associated with this leak, but I’m sure it’s only minor performance upgrades here and there. If you install it and notice any huge differences, let us know in the comments or our forums.

If you’re interested in downloading any of them to your device click the following links:

If you’re interested and don’t know how to upgrade your OS, you can click here for a tutorial, and always be sure to do a backup prior to doing anything with your device. NOTE: Only attempt to upgrade your OS if you are comfortable doing so or know what you are doing. BBerryDog is not responsible for any damages to your phone in the process of upgrading your OS. Use all precautionary steps and back up all of your data before proceeding with the upgrade.

Carbonite mobile app released for BlackBerry

Posted on by

Carbonite

Friday is the perfect day to reveal, in my opinion, a pretty awesome application.  For those of you unfamiliar with Carbonite, it’s basically a paid, online dropbox.  You back up files to Carbonite where you can access them from any computer.  With the Carbonite app, you are able to browse through your files at will, view said files on the go, and send those files via email.  Sadly, Carbonite is a paid annual subscription starting at $54.95 a year with support for both PC and Mac.  On the bright side, the BlackBerry application is free and available on the Pearl Flip, 96xx, 89xx, 83xx, 85xx, 9000, 9700 and Storm.

As a college student, I cannot see myself using this application at all.  On the other hand, for those of you with busy lives or long commutes on the way to work, this could be the perfect app for you.  During the commute (albeit not while driving yourself), you’d be able to jump on and review documents (say a sales report, notes you took on a hearing, or just something to read) without ever downloading them to your BlackBerry.  I guess the whole decision boils down to if you’re willing to spend the money for the subscription.  Will the mobile app benefit you enough to justify the money? If so, click here to learn how to get the beta app on your BlackBerry.

BlackBerry 6 hybrids for 9000, 9700, 9500, 9600, 8900 and 8500 models

We usually don’t talk much about hybrid OS builds here at BBerryDog due to the risky nature of installing untested software on your device, but this one is just too cool to turn down. Last night BlackBerryCool clued us all in on some hybrid builds of BlackBerry 6 mixed with other leaked OS 5.0.0.xxx versions for various models.

While I am no expert on hybrid OS builds, I have installed a few on my various BlackBerrys with no problem. Essentially, a hybrid OS is formed by someone taking files from one leaked version (in this case the leaked BlackBerry 6 for the clamshell device) and merging them with an OS from another build, typically for a different device. According to BlackBerryCool, 80 files from BlackBerry 6 have been successfully copied over into the different OS 5.0.0.xxx builds. While you probably won’t see any visual differences, the main purpose of the hybrid builds is to merge the beneficial parts of multiple OS’s together. It’s a genius idea, and always fun to tinker with.

I would not recommend attempting to install an hybrid OS unless you’re comfortable installing different OS versions on your phone and recovering a bricked device. As always, downloading and installing non-official builds is done at your own risk. With that said, if you’re interested in trying out the hybrid, giving feedback, and you’re using either a 9000, 97xx, 95xx, 96xx, 89xx, or an 85xx device, go here and download your respective hybrid OS files.

Dream Themez for your BlackBerry!

Posted on by

JokerDreamTheme

Since it was a rather slow news day, I thought I would elaborate on a good way to customize your BlackBerry. A few customers I have ran into in the past few shifts of mine at my other job have complained to me about how their BlackBerry wasn’t very customizable. For the average user, it isn’t. Themes aren’t the easiest thing to find, installing them can be tedious if you don’t know what you’re doing, and RIM doesn’t really promote the use of themes outside of App World.

A few days ago I was browsing through Twitter and I stumbled upon what is Dream Themez by Donald Conrod, or @i_c_u_hater on Twitter. I’ve personally lost my interest in themes due to my being very picky and I can’t seem to find or make exactly what I want. So, I gave up and I just stick to stock, or pretty darn close to it. Even though I can’t get past my own pickiness, Donald’s Dream Themez are very nice, high quality themes. He has themes for the Storm/Storm2, Bold 9700 and 9000, Tour, Curve, Pearl, Pearl Flip, and a section for ladies only. If you’ve been in the market for some customization, hit up Dream Themez, you may find what you’ve been looking for there.

You can find Dream Themez by clicking here, and you can follow Donald on Twitter for updates on his themes.

Bitbop releases beta mobile TV service for select devices

Posted on by

Bitbop-20100528-123256-415

Are you looking for a mobile TV fix for your BlackBerry? Bitbop has come to save the day, sort of. If you own a Bold 9000, Bold 9700, Curve 8900, or a Tour 9630 you can enjoy some free mobile TV (for the time being). Since this service is still in beta, they’re just looking for feedback. Down the road there will be a $10 per month subscription fee. That definitely seems like a doable price for signed networks such as CBS, NBS, Fox, Comedy Central, etc. They also plan to be adding movies in the future.

With Bitbop you will get full TV episodes of a lot of the best shows on TV. If you’re always on they go (and near a charger) this definitely seems like the route to take. So far, with what I’ve used of Bitbop I like it. The only problem I’ve encountered at this point is I keep getting an error with every few shows. So what are you waiting for? Go sign up for the beta before it turns into subscription! Some screen shots will be available after the break.
