Blurts

I am going to introduce very useful app for your blackberry.  It is Blurts.  Certainly it  is not a, yet another app.  Blurts is a tool that enables you to control your Blackberry through your PC.

It has very good, exciting features.  With Blurts, now, I can make a call from my laptop,  I can attend / ignore call through my laptop, send SMS, grab the screen image of the BB etc.  Now phone calls are not disturbance, when I work with my laptop.  With blue-tooth headset connected - its a fun to have conversation while your hands are at work.

Of course, it has some bugs.  Rarely, it is not getting connected easily, requires a restart of the app.  The usability of the PC interface can be improved a bit.  Otherwise, it is no nonsense app, works fine with me for the past two months.

One more important point - you need to pay for the Pro version.  Paying couple of dollars will not be a matter considering the features offered.

to BB or not to BB

In the current smart phone arena this is a big question.  To have Blackberry or not to.  Is it worthier spending money on the instrument, data plan and so on?  Many want to have a smart phone but do not give a price of a PC for small handy mobile phone.  So any thing that costs little more than a normal phone with 3G, Wifi, touch screen, email and browsing is preferred.

The variety of phones available in the market with the smart phone tag ranges from few thousands.  Yet, many of them lack in performance, usability, connectivity, voice clarity and so on.

On analysis, for a user who intend to use email extensively, looking for 3G, Wifi, GPS and so on.... Blackberry 9300 (Blackberry curve 3G) suites well, which comes with a decent price tag.

It has all the features....  except a touch screen.
