Freebies of the Week:

The Help Haiti App

I have to mention this app once more in the Roundup. If you still haven't made a donation to any of the amazing charities doing work down in Haiti, the Help Haiti App can hook you up. Using it is easy, and with it you can make donations from the US or Canada to charities including the Salvation Army, UNICEF, World Vision, Oxfam, the Red Cross, and many more.

For all the details check out the Help Haiti App in our store >

Imagining Theme

I noticed earlier this week that more than a few free themes were popping up as quite popular in App World. The first one I noticed was the Imagining Theme. This new addition from MMMOOO features a custom background and much more. The developer notes that after installation and activation, you may nee to do a battery pull rebook to finish the installation properly.

Carbon Fiber Theme

The other notable theme I noticed up for grabs (for free, for a limited time) was the Carbon Fiber Theme from Motek Americas Inc. Give your car that ultra high-end sportscar look! You'll get custom message icons, call screens, backgrounds, and a heck of a lot more. Do yourself a favor and check it out, heck, it's free!

In Case You Missed It...

Just in case you missed these titles, below are some apps that were
covered in the CrackBerry Blogs this past week. Check 'em out!

Verizon Launches VZ Navigator 5.0

VZ Navigator 5.0 is now out, and many updated features have been brought to the table. You'll now find options to update your Facebook status, the ability to send your location to dispatchers when using roadside service, and much more. Of course, the update includes the usual bevy of tweaks and bug fixes, plus load times have apparently been decreased which should make for a much more enjoyable in-app experience.

For all the details, head on over to Verizon >

Storm Unlock

A good one here for the Storm users, Storm Unlock is a new app from MMMOOO that enables pattern unlocking on your device. Create a pattern for locking and unlocking your Storm, and from then on simply punch in the pattern to lock and unlock your device. Easy. Oh, and I can't forget to mention this one is free. Awesome.

To find our OTA download link, hit up Storm Unlock in our store >

AT&T myWireless App

If you're up and running on AT&T, you'll want to check this one out for sure. Just a little while ago AT&T released their new myWireless app, which gives you access to your bill, usage details, your Berry's current and available features, and more. If you have multiple lines, no problem... the app can even break those down for you too.

For the OTA download, hit up http://www.att.com/mybb from your AT&T BlackBerry.

New This Week

inText

inText (aka Internet Texting Codes) is a small app that gives you access to the most popular texting shortcuts around. If you do a lot of LOL-ing, let this one be your bible. Over 300 of the most popular texting codes are found within, making it an ideal reference guide. Unfortunately this one is only available for the Storm at the moment... But if you have a Storm this one can be yours for only $1.99.

Check out inText >

TTYL!

Piczzle

You know that old sliding puzzle game you used to have hangin' around the house when you were a kid? You know, the one that had a picture on it, or maybe they were numbers that you had to rearrange into order... You know the one? Well that's exactly what Piczzle is, but for your BlackBerry. Shuffle the pieces around to form a picture, and when you're done you can chose to do another puzzle, or set the image as your wallpaper! A new puzzle is uploaded each and every day, so there's something new all the time.

Piczzle is available for $2.99 >

Dog Emergency

Dog Emergency is the must-have guide for any dog owner. Knowing what to do with your beloved pet in an emergency is critical. Dog Emergency was designed to help guide you through important first aid techniques, and also provides you with the knowledge you'll need to be prepared for almost anything. Learn how to deal with such things as acid poisoning, burns, fly bites, electric shocks, and a whole lot more.

Cool at BlackBerry App World:

Madden NFL 10

With the Superbowl coming up on us fast this weekend, I clearly have football on the brain. To tide me over until the epic battle between the Colts and the Saints, I may have been tempted to load up Madden NFL10 :) You get exactly what you expect with this game... EA almost always delivers the goods. Play as your favorite team and while you do, hear commentary from Madden, Hammond and Collinsworth. The only possible sticking point is the price... To purchase it'll run you $6.99.
