Hootsuite for BlackBerry goes into free public beta

Posted on by

As you may or may not know, Hootsuite is one of the most advanced desktop social-networking applications available.  It combines a laundry list of features for those of you who use things like Twitter and Facebook the way we do here at BBerrydog.

Hootsuite has just made it’s way to BlackBerry smartphones.  Currently in public beta, Hootsuite allows you to access your Facebook and Twitter feeds with ease.  Whether you are posting or reading, Hootsuite takes this all into one place.  Touchscreen BlackBerrys are supported, as well as everything from 4.2 to 6.0. You can find Hootsuite here, but, before downloading, make sure to read the next paragraph.

As many of you may know, I am a Curve 8530 user.  The Curve is one of the lowest end 5.0 BlackBerrys out there.  The processor is slow and the phone can be extremely laggy at time.  That being said, Hootsuite is terrible on this phone.  I found that my phone was lagging all over the place.  Hootsuite managed to make a slow phone even slower.  I hate to sound campy, but if you’re using a low-end BlackBerry like myself, I’d strongly recommend going elsewhere for your Twitter and Facebook needs.

As you all know, the past week we were a little behind on all of our news. There were quite a few changes being made behind the scenes, and we promise that that will not happen again, if there is any way around it.

All the links are after the jump. (Remember: Downloading and installing non-official builds is done at your own risk!)

Verizon updates BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 OS

If you’re the proud owner of a BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230, you’ve probably felt a bit left out as of late.  After all, the launch of the BlackBerry Storm2, Motorola DROID, HTC Droid Eris, and BlackBerry Curve 8530 have taken most (if not all) of the limelight away from RIM’s first clamshell BlackBerry device.  Not to worry though, as Verizon hasn’t completely forgotten about you: effective today, OS 4.6.1.309 is available for the device.

Granted, it’s not OS 5.0 just yet, but it’s an improvement over previous versions.  If you notice any changes, be sure to let us know in the forums!  As always, download at your own risk.

AT&T releases OS 4.6.0.304 for the BlackBerry Bold 9000

Wow!  Two OS releases for the Bold 9000 within a short time period…color me shocked.  We went a year without any word on a software update, and then bam….4.6.0.297 hits the scene, followed by this bad boy.  Though OS 4.6.0.304 isn’t a 5.0 build, it’s nice to see that AT&T isn’t completely kicking the Bold 9000 to the curb (particularly with the Bold 9700 right around the corner).

Download the OS update at AT&T’s BlackBerry page, and hit the forums with your findings!  Be sure to backup your information prior to the software update.
