BlackBerry Storm2 - The improved BlackBerry
November 11, 2009 @ 10:49 a.m.
Today I got my BlackBerry Storm2 9520, big day it is indeed! About one year ago I got the BlackBerry Storm 9500 (or as people refer to it now: Storm1) and I was really pleased with it, only thing was I couldn't type as fast on my Storm1 as on my BlackBerry Bold or any other full QWERTZ device. Now with the BlackBerry Storm2 that all changed...!
I've been using the BlackBerry Storm2 the whole day today and I must say: this device will replace my BlackBerry Bold and any other QWERTZ device! The virtual keyboard allows me to type nearly as fast on the Storm2! Crazy, I couldn't believe it!
Other reasons why I love this device:
I can really advise you to have a look at this device, it's definitely worth it!

I sat down again and wrote a simple app that really helps a LOT. LaterFlag is an application that let's you flag your emails.
You can either flag it as high priority or low priority or just leave it normal! Through this you won't forget if you already have replied to emails or not. It's free, you're gonna love it! Spread the word!
LaterDude Pro v2.2.49 - Public Beta
September 25, 2009 @ 5:03 a.m.
I have been working again and came up with a new version of the successful LaterDude Pro application for BlackBerry. LaterDude Pro is an application that allows you to set easy and fast call-back and follow-up reminders from the Call Log, the Messages, Text Messages and the Contacts straight into your Calendar or Task application.
What's new in this version?
- English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Romanian and French Translation
- Application has an icon (found in the Downloads folder) for easier access to the Options
- Option if the Menu should be displayed in the whole system or only in the specific apps
- Select if you want to save the new event as Calendar, Task or be prompted
- Option to set as what you want to preselect the new entry (Call, Contact, Meet, SMS or eMail)
- Time and Date can be set from the pre-set buttons and also manually
- Free upgrade for previous users
- Many bugs fixed
How do I install?
If you already have a license key of LaterDude Pro then you can enter the registration code you received at purchase in this version and it will get unlocked. If you do not yet have a license key of LaterDude Pro then you can still download this version and have 10 trials left.
To download the latest version, go to www.mobileutil.com/login and enter the username LDP and the password munich. Then select LaterDude Pro v2.2.49 and download it over-the-air to your device.
What if I find bugs in this version?
This is a public beta so it could eventually still have bugs. If you find a bug, please send me an email and try to explain it as good as you can.

New LaterDude Pro Version 2.1.06
September 5, 2009 @ 2:10 a.m.
As you may know, LaterDude Pro started as the freeware application LaterDude and soon became one of the best known call-back reminders for BlackBerry. Not only can you set Call-Back reminders, also Follow-Ups from email/text messages and reminders straight out of your Contacts are possible!
The function that makes it so efficient is that it totally integrates with the System.
What's new in Version 2.1.06?
- Set Events not only to the Calendar App but also to the Task App
- Set the due-date of the Task aswell
- You are now able to set the standard length of an Event
- Option to show the whole email body or just the subject in the Notes field
- Free Trial Version where you can start the app 10 times
- Help Text included in the Application
- More times added to select from
- Menu only visable in the following Menus: Call Log, Messages, Text Messages, Contacts
- Many bugs fixed
This application now has the ability to set follow-ups from the Messages List. You highlight a Message, click Menu -> Remind me Later!, click through the Dialogs and soon have it as an entry in your Tasks app. You will see, this version of LaterDude Pro will boost your efficientcy. Never forget to call/sms/email someone back, LaterDude Pro does the thinking for you!
When you purchase LaterDude Pro you receive a Serial Code to register it. Please go to the Application -> Menu -> Register and enter the code there in the form.
When you upgrade from a previous version of LaterDude Pro then please delete the old version first, then reboot, then intall the new! The new version can be downloaded at the MyAccount area where you purchased the application. You should receive an email from the resellers site with the new serial key.
The fact that I use this application myself all day long improves it because there are so many times where I think: "Let's add this function to the next version"! Make this application part of your BlackBerry-Life and you will see, you don't want to miss it anymore!
