New BlackBerry Software

VibAndRing

When an incoming call is received, have you ever noticed how your device will first vibrate, and when vibrating is finished, THEN it will start to ring? Seems to be a quirky little thing with most Berry devices (at least that has been my experience when I've had my devices on vibrate+ring). The new VibAndRing app eliminates this problem. It allows you to set the vibration alert and ringtone alert at the same time. It also lets you set how long the vibration alert should last. If this quirk bothers you, you might want to pick up this app.

'The Office' Game

I love 'The Office'. Hilarious show. In fact, it was my birthday the other day and I received one of those talking Hallmark cards, featuring Michael Scott from 'The Office'... ahhh, good times. Anyways, Bplay has released 'The Office' game for the BlackBerry. In the game, your goal is to earn the title of 'Office Champion' by playing different mini-games. Choose from basketball, balance, paper battle, chair racing and more. All of your favorite characters from the show are featured. This is a good one.

Jewel Miner

Jewel Miner is built on the old puzzle standard. Clear the jewels by aligning 3 or more adjacent jewels of the same color. Keep matching colors to stop your mine from 'flooding'. Lots of extra features in this game including level mode or continuous mode... Small or big jewel options... and you can even save your game and continue where you left off.

Note: This game is compatible with the 8800 or Curve series only.

KON-TIKI

Lets continue the whole puzzle game theme. New to our store this week is another puzzle game called KON-TIKI. I'm sure you've seen similar games around online or for purchase. In this title, shoot your pearls to match 4 or more of the same color. Score combos to increase your score dramatically. This one has some great graphics, and the gameplay is smooth and addicting.

iBerry 2.0 Theme

If you're a theme addict, Bplay has launched the new iBerry 2.0 Theme. Should be a good one to add to your collection, especially if you love your mac stuff. The theme takes design cues from the iPhone with colorful icons and sharp, crisp design. It's a sure-fire way of spiffing up your Berry with a new look :) Looks to be that the theme is available in icon, zen and today styles.

So you can imagine my pleasure when I happened to notice that UNO is available for the BlackBerry, and it's in our store! In this version you can play with the classic rules, or configure your own custom set of rules. You can play up to 3 other players, select a custom character, and a whole lot more. Good fun, and good times with this classic family card game.
