Easily Set Call Reminder Notes to Show When Certain Contacts Call You

 

Finmouse let us know about their new BlackBerry app Call Reminder Notes. The app lets you easily create and assign a reminder note to a single or multiple contacts so you can remember what you need to talk about. The note then shows up when you receive a call and can remain on the screen. They also have an after call feature that lets you add reminders, calendar events, and edit the contact notes after a call. In other words it is great for people who need to juggle sales calls and the like.

RIM Q2 Fiscal 2012 Conference Call Wrapup – More Details!

RIM didn’t go into much detail in their press release before but both Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie were on the investor conference call that just ended. They had quite a bit to say including the fact that 35% of sales for Q2 were for BlackBerry 7 devices in the last few weeks of Q2.  They were also talking quite a bit about the PlayBook, BlackBerry 7, and the QNX phone transition. Here are the bullet points I wrote up from the call:

Let me know if I missed anything!

Could RIM Announce PlayBook OS 2.0 Tonight During Earnings Call?

This is a ton of wishful thinking sparked by readers talking about it after the BlackBerry Bridge update earlier this morning. Still analysts are trying to hammer RIM before their earnings call tonight with speculated PlayBook sales in the half a million for the quarter. The question is if RIM will be able to shut them up with some amazing PlayBook news. The best thing for RIM to quell naysayers would be to launch both the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 and the Android Player tonight. We know that the Android Player is at least coming in some form before DevCon in mid October so maybe it will come out a bit early? Alternatively this could just be a small OS update for the PlayBook since the Bridge did not go up to v2.0… I just feel we would have seen some more leaks before an official OS 2.0 update.

Who knows but isn’t it fun to speculate?

Free BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing App Updated to v1.0.0.50 – OS 7 Support

RIM has updated their popular Mobile Conferencing app this week to v1.0.0.50. This new version improves the app with the ability to turn an email into a conference invitation and some other great features. The app remains free and is a sweet download if you use your BlackBerry to connect to conference calls regularly.

The new version adds the following features:

Convert an Email to a Conference Invitation

Now you can shift your conversation from email to a conference bridge quickly and simply. Use the “Schedule Conference” menu option on any email to create a calendar invitation with the same individuals on the email thread, subject, and message notes. Check out the screenshot above for an example.

Manage up to 10 Conference Profiles

If you’re like me, you’re constantly hosting conference calls as well as attending them, using a variety of conference bridges. The BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app has been designed not only to provide ease of access and connection to these calls, but also to help you manage the variety of conference bridges that you use by allowing up to 10 conference profiles to be stored on your device.

Improved Conference Call Detection Algorithm

The app has done a great job of detecting conference call information and automating the process, and now the algorithm behind this process is better than ever. Using feedback from users, we’ve increased the “intelligence” of the conference call detection, including more conference description formats and language constructs.

Improved Hidden Moderator Code

When you’re scheduling conference calls from your desktop, you can now send only the participant information and keep your moderator or host code hidden. For meeting invites that only include participant information, the BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app will automatically search for matching bridge information in your conference profiles. If it finds a match, it will dial you in with the moderator code from the corresponding profile and connect the conference when you press “Join Now”.

Support for BlackBerry 7 and Liquid Graphics

All of the new BlackBerry® 7 OS smartphones will support the BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app, including the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 and 9930 smartphones, as well as the BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810 and 9850 smartphones. If you have yet to upgrade, BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing is also supported by BlackBerry® Device Software v5.0 and BlackBerry® 6 OS.

You can pick up the updated BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app for free from BlackBerry App World or read more about it on the RIM Business blog.
