I came across this BlackBerry application yesterday and figured it would be a good one to pass onto the CrackBerry Community, especially for those of you still in school and looking for yet another reason excuse to pull out your BlackBerry during class.
From the gWhiz website, "...gCalc is a FREE graphing calculator for the BlackBerry that eliminates the need to purchase (and carry) yet another expensive electronic device. This university level calculator works right from your smartphone! Unlike traditional, simplistic phone-based calculators, gCalc provides extensive support for dozens of sophisticated mathematical functions and constants. It boasts professional graphics with the ability to zoom and scroll on the results... it even allows you to share the graph with classmates and instructors. Just email it to them!"
I installed the calculator onto my BlackBerry Curve and played around with it a bit. It works well, but is a bit overkill for the math I tend to be doing as of late on a daily basis. I did, however, forward the gCalc link onto a couple of friends who are Engineers and they were tickled pink to see graphs.
You can watch a demo video on their website, and when you're ready to download just point your Blackberry's web browser to m.gwhizmobile.com/downloads

I installed this software but it won't work. When i try to use it, it just gives me an error messge. I tried to uninstall and install again. This is great for me because of my classes in school, really want it to work. anyone know whats wrong?
Did you check what version of the OS is on your BlackBerry device? When downloading, it lists the software requirements - version 4.2 and greater.
Make sure you have that before installing. As mentioned, I installed without any issues. If the OS version isn't the problem, maybe shoot them an email - they have contact info o the site
I typed the website into my browser and it took me to the page and all but... where exactly do you download this? seems like it takes me in a loop theres no actual download link where I start the download, I've tried about everything.... thanks.
Just as I posted that I took one last look at it... I didn't notice the terms link to start it :) ...sorry!
This is a great little program that is much more powerful than the included calculator. I appreciate this news. THANK YOU!
i downloaded this onto my computer and used desktop manager to put it onto my blackberry curve but it wouldn't let me because it was i the wrong format.
can someone help?
I initally thought, COOL! A graphing calculator on my cell phone. I loaded up the mobile site onto my phone and, thankfully, forced into the TOS. The TOS basically says this company is fully allowed to monitor your phone, and "other" information about your phone. Not good news to me!
In this day and age, yours are valid concerns. However, just to let you know, we're looking at meta-info, not personal details. For example, we're looking at the number of unique users, which type of handsets are most popular, which of our applications are used the most, etc. The legal language is perhaps broad, but it is essentially the same Ts and Cs that you find on Google, Wikipedia, etc.
Please contact us at info@gwhizmobile.com if you have questions, suggestions, or concerns.
Thanks!
