5 Great Blackberry Apps for a Realator

Are you owner of a “Crackberry” or are you considering adding this powerful little tool to your real estate arsenal? The BlackBerry is a SmartPhone that seems virtually designed for the busy broker, Realtor and agent, with plenty of customizable features and support for downloadable applications that can make your life a lot easier while you’re on the road.

1. Google Maps

One of the main attractions of a BlackBerry is its support for Google Maps. Downloading the Google Maps application means that you have access to all the locations and searching capabilities supported by Google. It’s a great way of finding directions to the next home and quick solutions for finding gas stations, restaurants and hotels on short notice. Google.com/mobile.

2. Opera Mini

There are times when the BlackBerry Browser just doesn’t work. At all. Opera Mini is a great browser for accessing those websites not designed for mobile access. With a zoom in/out feature, you can quickly jump to the area of the website you need to examine in detail. OperaMini.com.

3. Facebook

“Wait a minute,” you say, “Isn’t that just for fun?” Not for the many real estate professionals who keep up with friends, family AND clients on their Facebook page. Many people have a Facebook account for their professional life that’s separate from their personal one. They generally upload pictures of listings, make contacts, find out more about their clients’ needs and involve themselves in the thriving real estate communities that Facebook supports. Facebook.com.

4. Twitter

Another app that one might think is more suited to leisure time, Twitter actually improves search engine optimization and could become an agent’s best friend as far as Google is concerned. A carefully optimized Twitter page could net you a following and clients. Updating from your BlackBerry takes seconds. Twitter.com.

5. Homes for Sale

Developed by J. Rockcliff Realtors, this app uses your BlackBerry’s GPS to home in on your location and sends you information on the homes near your location. You can quickly access the sales price, size of home and property, tax information, photos and special features using only your Blackberry to locate you. This is an award winning application you can download for free at Rockcliff.com.

These are only 5 of the great tools that BlackBerry can support. Keep your eyes open for more developments, especially in the real estate sector.

How does a Blackberry Work

How does a blackberry work? Some people may be confused or overwhelmed when it comes to using a blackberry. Other people wonder about how exactly does a blackberry work? Blackberry cellular phones use “Push” technology. The original Blackberry was the first wireless device to boast the new push technology at the time. So now you might be asking what exactly is push technology about?

Push technology lets you automatically download e-mail, news, and other updates instead of having to manually download anything. For instance, if you receive an e-mail on your e-mail account your Blackberry will automatically download the e-mail for you. This is a great convenience since you don’t have to do any work. Push technology is related to RSS feeds. The term RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are used frequently on PCs. Internet users can request to subscribe to RSS feeds from websites. This means that every time a website has new content you will be notified of this new content.

In essence, Blackberry wireless devices make use of these RSS feeds and that is how content is automatically downloaded to your blackberry. Push technology works in context with Blackberry’s own server, known as the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES). The Blackberry device continually synchronizes itself with this server in order for it to recognize any change in downloadable content (e.g. e-mail).

At this moment in time Blackberry is the only mobile phone company to offer push technology. Many people involved in the world of business are very fond of Blackberry wireless devices because of being able to access e-mail, internet, and other content. Is a blackberry for you? You decide!

Unlocked Blackberry Storm

The Blackberry Storm is one of the hottest smart phones on the market . In fact, it has been compared to the Apple iPhone and T-Mobile’s G1 in regards to the number of features and abilities, and the Storm is seen as one of the iPhone’s top contenders. But the only problem when it comes to roaming and international charges are that it comes with a 2 year contract, which you need to unlock. There are handful of IMEI unlock code generation services available today. All you have to do is provide them with your IMEI code by dialing *#*06* and you GSM network.

As a smart phone, the Blackberry Storm does much more than just make and receive phone calls. A It includes the Windows Mobile operating system and a large number of different applications. A You can send and receive emails, surf the web, create a calendar of appointments, read documents and PDF files, and even use the Storm like a MP3 or video player. A Storm can even be upgraded with new programs and customized with the programs you need. A Of course, the Storm includes all the things that a standard cell phone does, such as a contacts list, ring tones, and a built-in camera.

I have provided below a list of popularly used applications that you can run on your Storm:
• The Wall Street Journal – If you are an avid reader of the paper version of America’s content-rich financial newspaper, this is the application for you. Get all your up-to-date WSJ articles on your storm with this quality plugin.
• Facebook – Addicted to Facebook? View all of your friend and status updates in one handy application. You can even write on your friends’ wall straight from this application. Great for the Facebook addicted Storm user.
• Flickr – Do you take a lot of pictures using the camera feature on your Storm? If you want to share them with your friends on the web, this application which ties into Flickr (a very popular photo sharing site) is the one for you. All you have to do is shoot and upload!
• ESPN – Big into sports? Get up-to-date scores and reports via sports’ #1 network. This is a great way to stay updated if you are away from your computer or TV.
• Guitar Hero III – If you are an avid player of this game and want to take it with you on your Storm, this is the application for you. Keep addicted away from the console with this phone-sized version of the popular rocking game.
These are just a few of the various applications that can be installed on your Storm, and more applications can be found on Blackberry’s services page.

There is just one problem. The Blackberry Storm 9530 is only available in the United States from Verizon wireless.

The good news is there are services that can unlock the Storm for you. These are remote unlocking services which donot include you mailing the phone . Once we unlock your BlackBerry Storm 9530 you will be able to insert a SIM card from ANY GSM provider worldwide! Your unlocked Blackberry Storm will function just like any other GSM Blackberry.

Other benefits of Unlocking Blackberry Storm is drastically reduces your roaming and international call charges. Ideal for
people who travel a lot with their company phones. Unlocked phones have a high resale value in the market, once unlocked you can sell the blackberry handset for 200% or even 300% higher in some cases.
