Last Friday I did the review for the newest addition to the Otterbox line of products for the BlackBerry. If you are not familiar with their product you should read my review. So lets get to the point, announcement of the OtterBox case contest. The lucky winner of this great product is Fronzie. We will be contacting you for your information to have the Otterbox cake pictured below shipped to you asap. (Ha Ha Just joking… It’s all gone. I had to use the image below since is a picture of an edible Berry in a stylish Otterbox that our very own lucky Greg got to enjoy for his 40th Birthday. The cake looks amazing and so will your BlackBerry once it is an Otterbox case).
Congratulating Fronzie. We will be in contact shortly so we can arrange to have your new OtterBox delivered to you. And thank you for all our readers for their participation in the contest.

Uberman let us know about this new solution for tracking and logging your emails and phone calls on your BlackBerry. The app stores this information along with any notes you wish to add and emails you a weekly activity report from your device.
Features:
- Automatically logs your BlackBerry phone and email activities
- Allows you to add notes to your BlackBerry activity log
- Automatically sends a daily or weekly log to your email.
- Report includes:
- Time
- Duration
- Type of Communication
- Activity Details
The app is totally free and is supported by advertising on your weekly report. The solution works pretty well but I am not sure if the logs are also stored on their servers. From their FAQ it looks like they are not but it makes me wonder how the reports are generated if they are not… I sent them an email asking and will hopefully hear back soon since that may be a security risk.
Check it out at www.blacktracklog.com and let me know what you think!

I just got word from Bellshare that their popular app BerryBuzz has been updated and is in private beta. BerryBuzz lets users select custom LED colors on their device for emails, SMS, calls and more. There are a ton of new features in this version, including the much desired BlackBerry Messenger alert and even Facebook. Users can select a "disco" setting, change flash intervals, silence alerts on certain days, slow down the LED and more. If you want to get in on the beta, send an email to customerservice@bellshare.com with the subject "BerryBuzz 2.0 Beta". Keep in mind that Bellshare will be receiving a huge number of requests and they may not all be honored. The original BerryBuzz is still available at ShopCrackBerry.com for $5.95. Check out the Bellshare Forums for more information.

Thanks for the Patience!
D'oh! Authorize.net is the credit card merchant processor used by thousands of e-commerce stores, including ShopCrackBerry.com. It seems they're having some issues for the time being (fire at a data center according to Twitter). For more information, you can check out the coverage on TechCrunch and Twitter. Hopefully they'll be back up and running soon. They're updating their Twitter status here. We'll update this post once things are back to business!
In the meantime, you can still place orders to ship today for accessories with Google Checkout and Paypal and software with Paypal at ShopCrackBerry.com. You can also still browse and purchase with credit card, however, those orders will not be processed today and will not ship until Monday. Thanks again for the patience.

The rumors were flying all week long that existing Verizon customers wouldn't be able to upgrade to the Tour. For some reason, Verizon didn't list the Tour on upgrade pages for current customers, and it seemed only new contracts would be able to snag the device. The net was a buzz, and it seems as if Big Red was listening. Existing customers can now head to the upgrade page on Verizon's site to pre-order the Tour. A $70 online discount is applied, as well as any New Every Two discounts if available. Now everyone can now let out a big sigh of relief.

DavidB let me know about Mediafly and I was suitably impressed. The app is in beta for the BlackBerry and lets you select podcasts you wish to listen to on your BlackBerry. These podcasts will automatically stream to your BlackBerry. If they do not have your favorite podcast listed you can add your own custom channel.
Note: Currently the app only supports the Bold, Curve, Pearl, & Storm devices. You also need to set your APN sometimes to get it to work.
You can pick up the app from your BlackBerry OTA at www.mediafly.mobi

Its kind of humbling when you read this article on FierceWireless. Mike Dano compiled a list of the top 10 largest wireless operators in the first quarter. The biggest US carrier, Verizon, barely made it on the list. Granted many of these operators have carriers in multiple countries and markets compared to Verizon’s single market but still…
Its just mind blowing how China takes the cake with almost 500 million subscribers. T-Mobile ranks well as 6th place but that is mostly due to its many markets including T-Mobile US. I can’t imagine what would happen if China would finally open the floodgates for the BlackBerry BIS users.
Check out the listing below:
- China Mobile 478.8 million
- Vodafone Group 247.3 million
- Telefonica Group 190.1 million
- America Movil Group 174.9 million
- China Unicom 137.7 million
- Deutsche Telekom Group (T-Mobile) 127.1 million
- Telnor Group 96.6 million
- Airtel (Bharti) 93.9 million
- MTS Group 92.2 million
- Verizon Wireless 86.6 million
Thanks DavidB for sending this one in!

Ahh... this one totally brings back fond memories as I was indeed an owner of the original Executor keychain and played with it non-stop until my older brother eventually stole it from me, put it on the floor and jumped on it until it crumbled into little pieces. I still haven't forgiven him.... though I guess I can let the issue drop now as new from Generation Media Group, bbExecutor mimics the original Executor keychain and offers up 8 of those classic assault sounds, including the ever-popular machine gun. Be sure to watch the video above to see bbExecutor in all it's glory.
The app is available for both the Storm and non-touchscreen BlackBerry smartphones and is currently available for 99 cents (until July 31st - $1.99 regular price). You can grab it from the link below and be sure to check out the original Executor after the jump!
