Verizon+Blackberry+Obama=SECURITY!!

Barack Obama is getting a “souped-up, high security BlackBerry for use in and around the White House and during presidential travel.” The device is a BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, with some incredible security tweaks, like allowing it to have access to the NSA.

It's good to know that even the president knows that Blackberries on the Verizon Network..ARE THE BEST!!

facebook 1.5 app review

We all know that Facebook is the new Myspace...HAHA!!

The new Facebook App 1.5 doesn't disapoint. It fully integrates with you phones contact list allowing you to easily upload your friends Facebook profile pics to your contacts...very cool!!

You do still have to go to the internet to look at a friends profile...but now you do not have to login everytime...which is very nice.

Lastly you can easily request phone numbers and also integrate those numbers into your contact list on your phone.

I highly recommend taking a look.

I used to rock this app back in the day on my Moto Q. Now it's back!! Pocket Nester will allow you to play Nintendo Rom files on your Windows Mobile Phone.

Cool thing is you can now get the app OTA (Way easier than before)

Make sure you download the Unlock app for Windows Mobile I had posted earlier first.

Get your Nintendo Rom Games here!!

This app is great for the Touch Pro users out there. It causes the screen to give a quick vibrate when you touch it.

Gives you a more "button like" feel.
