Looks like my bud Fabian Heuwieser has been busy updating one of his more popular apps. LaterDude Pro is a simple reminder app that can really come in handy. It has been updated to version 2.2.51, and there are some interesting new features found within:

I received an email the other day from one of our readers/podcast listeners (thanks Chris!) that brought up a good tip that some of you may not be aware of and also raised a valid question/concern:
Have you noticed that on the Curve 8900 and Curve 8520 holding alt + scrolling left or right scrolls all the way the left or right of the text. Example: when your typing a email or text, once you get a few lines down hold alt and scroll left to right or up and down. I've noticed this doesn't work on the Bold, but I've tried it on the 8900 and 8520.
Being able to fast scroll when reading/composing by holding Alt is definitely a great feature for trackball/trackpad BlackBerry smartphones, but as Chris points out there does seem to be some inconsistency as to what devices/os versions offer this feature. For example, it's working flawlessly on my Tour, on some older devices doesn't work at all, and on my Curve 8900 which just got upgraded to 5.0.0.190, I can fast scroll when composing but not while reading emails. So the question is, does it work for you?! Try holding down alt while scrolling on a message with a lot of text to see if your cursor makes the big jump.

Over the weekend my Tour had a minor disagreement with an app I installed. I tried to reboot after I added the application, and my device wouldn't boot past the VZW splash screen. I had no access to a PC, so I was stuck with a dead device for two days. In my research and hopes of getting up and running, I came across the RIM article on how to boot in safe mode. We touched on this a while back, but never really got into any detail. Now, I also found out this doesn't work on the current Tour OS (for me anyway), but supposedly it works with most devices running OS 4.6 and higher. The basic idea behind it is that much like Safe Mode on a PC, booting your device this way allows you to uninstall any "bad" applications by loading the bare essentials upon startup. You simply perform a battery pull and then hold the Back key until the Safe Mode dialog appears. Just a good tip in case you ever find yourself in my shoes. Check out the full RIM Knowledge Base article here. If you've got a few minutes to kill, give it a try on your device. Does it work for you?

Recite the Qur'an with the modulations and tones of the Arabs,but avoid the modulations of those who recite love poetry and the modulations of the people of the two Books.After my death people will come who will trill when they recite the Qur'an as is done in singing and wailing,but it will go no farther than their throats,and they and those who are charmed by their performance will be let into error(Al-Tirmidhi,690)

We covered the intial launch of the I Love BlackBerry application and within that time over 10,000 BlackBerry users have downloaded and installed the incredible application and that was only within the first 24 hours of launch.
As some of you all may know from listening to the CrackBerry Podcast, I'm quite a heavy BlackBerry user to which all my CrackBerry colleagues and even Mike Kirkup, RIM's Manager of Developer Relations, has attested too after seeing my usage compared to his own. So you can only imagine how happy I was when EarlySail, the developers behind the application, advised that a new update was available. Sadly, no change log was given but the current version is sitting at 0.9.38. if for some reason you have not grabbed this cool litte app yet, get to it and face your addiction. Say it loud and Say it proud... I Love BlackBerry!! Now, can I get an I Love CrackBerry app please?

My favorite trick so far. The Help Me! Screen gives you a ton of useful information about your BlackBerry. PIN, IMEI, OS Version and more are included in this little screen, and it's dead easy to get to. On your BlackBerry's keyboard, press the left shift key, the alt key, and h. You don't need to press them simultaneously, but all three keys need to be depressed.

Those signal strength bars never tell the whole story; ever curious about what your wireless signal strength really is? On you BlackBerry keyboard, hold the alt key and type N M L L. This will change your bars into numbers. You'll notice it's always a negative number; through a quirk in science and math a signal of -100 is better than a signal of -50, though anything in between should give you decent coverage. To change back to the signal bars, do the same thing again. Hold alt and type N M L L.
