14 DAY TRIAL // BlackBerry mobile phone users in the US now have a reason to rejoice as the 5.0.0.8 version of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager is available for download with wireless carrier Verizon. The software solution, as many of you might already know, has been rumored to come to users around this date, and was even reported as leaked not too long ago, yet it has not been officially launched.
Some of the latest news reports on the Web also showed that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager version 5.0.0.8 had been included in the Verizon BlackBerry User Tools CD that was shipped along with the newly launched BlackBerry Tour 9630. Not only that the recently leaked version suggested an upcoming release, but the presence of the solution inside the User Tools CD pointed in the same direction too.
The BlackBerry Desktop Manager version 5.0.0.8 now available for download on Verizon is reportedly the same file as the one that was previously leaked into the wild, only that this time around it is official. Those willing to download and install it should head to the mobile phone carrier's site, where they will also find instructions on how to perform the process.
And since we're in the BlackBerry application area, we should also mention a brand-new software solution that has been released mainly for those who like staying up to date with the latest news and gossip in the celebrity world. Users of a Blackberry Storm 9500 or a Curve 83xx-series device should know that there is a Perez Hilton Mobile launcher app at large, coming directly from the BlackBerry Enterprise.
The application is rather simple, as it places an icon on your homescreen from where you can launch the Perez Hilton site. Some users might find it useful in the end, as they will be able to stay in touch with the latest tidbits of info on celebrities without too much effort. The application is priced at $1.75 and works on BlackBerry Curve (OS 4.2, 4.3 and 4.5) and the BlackBerry Storm. It can be found available for purchase here.
