RIM BlackberryBlackberry phones from RIM are one of the most secure wireless communication devices available today. Interception [traffic analysis] of emails over the proprietary BIS/BES services is very very difficult in a BlackBerry handset. It is therefore no wonder that RIM is a popular choice even among defense/security officials & management in various countries.

I’ll discuss ways in which you can make the most of your blackberry using Third-party software to (hack) into the default OS and enable secret functions in your BlackBerry handset. It’ll enable you to perform different functions which were not earlier possible in your Blackberry phone.

Blackberry on Steroids

So, how to get these additional features and extract juice from your BB? The answer is simple. Using the following two applications :

  • PhoneTweak
  • BlackberryAddon

PhoneTweak

PhoneTweak for Blackberry
PhoneTweak for Blackberry

Using this application, you can change various options in your BlackBerry phone which were not available before.

There are various categories to choose from :

  • Phone
  • Messages
  • Power
  • Connections
  • Clock
  • Flashlight
  • LED

You can then select the required functions under the above mentioned categories to change the default services.

  1. Program your phone to Vibrate, Activate LED and Lock keypad at various places look on Call, Making a Call, on Ending a Call etc.
  2. Make the phone Power off or On on time intervals mentioned by you or on specified days of the week.
  3. Turn off/on all wireless network connection in one click
  4. LED Blacklight Torch
  5. Clock Chime on every hour

BlackBerry Addon

This is one of the most useful and productive, feature-rich application for Blackberry phone that I have come across till now. It adds so many additional functions and integrates itself into the BlackBerry OS interface that you never feel as if its a third-party application.

The list goes on endlessly but here are some of the functions worth an explicit mention :

  • Auto Keypad Lock
  • SMS Signature
  • Firewall – Blacklist/Whitelist Callers
  • Emoticon
  • Saving incoming & outgoing calls to the Calendar application – Sync
  • InCall notifications
  • Enable On-Call connect notification through vibration
  • Enable Call Ringing vibration

One of the best feature is the On-Call connect notification through vibration wherein you don’t have to wait for the receiver to pick up the phone, the moment the call is answered, BB alerts you using a small vibration and you can then use your phone!
