Monitor Your Traffic Usage

Share

If you live in the country where there is quota for your Blackberry Internet Service (BIS), it is sure you need to monitor your traffic and get alert when it reaches near your quota. You can use this free Blackberry application to monitor the download and upload in your handheld.

It can show data traffic for daily and monthly. You can set on what date to reset for month summary in the configuration as well as the decimal precision.

When I installed, it asked permission to connect to its server to download a license key but it didn't ask anything about paying the app.

You can download it OTA from http://mda.e-office.com/
Happy trying

Opera Mini 5 Out of Beta

Share

After months in Beta now you can download the stable version of Opera Mini 5, just go to m.opera.com from your phone and give it a try. It comes with a tabbed browsing though I find this to be useful but very heavy in my memory. I experience a bit lagging in my storm. This browser also gives an option to open in Blackberry browser or Opera every time you open a link.

Capturing what your Blackberry is displaying is required sometimes. It can be for review you write in your blog, show your highest score in game, or capture an issue with your Blackberry and share it with your community. There are number of ways to accomplish this,

1. JL_Cmder (Java Loader Commander)
A command tool provided by Blackberry to display information about your handheld, event log of your handheld, take a screenshot of your Blackberry screen, erase the Blackberry OS and restore to factory settings. You need to install this into your computer and connect your Blackberry in order to use this.

Pre-requisite: Blackberry Desktop Manager

2. BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss-Army Knife)
This program is developed by the team at RIMGeeks. This tool provides more functions then JL_Cmder and with a GUI. Connect your Blackberry in order to capture your Blackberry screen and save it into your computer
