I know from personal experience that hardcore usage of a BlackBerry can sometimes drain your battery and if you’re on the run (driving in this case) finding time to charge yours can be difficult.
I have two brand new BlackBerry car chargers, one Micro USB charger and one Mini USB charger.
Features:
Talk and charge at the same time
Recharge on the go
Provides unlimited talk time
Not sure which kind of charger you have? In the picture below the plug on the left is a Mini USB and the plug on the right is a Micro USB.
CONTEST: To win one (1) of these car chargers leave a comment on this post using a valid email address. In your comment be sure to mention which type of USB you have, only mention one. Only leave one comment, duplicates will be ignored and will not increase your chances of winning. This contest will end at 12AM EST on Sunday, November 1st. Comments left after this time will not be considered. *
AddOnis is the All-In-One utility that your Blackberry can not be without!
With the installation of only one small file, AddOnis adds features normally added by multiple utilities – and with AddOnis – all of these extensions have been designed to work together perfectly in harmony.
AddOnis extends system functionality, enabling features missing from the system that make your device easier and more efficient to use by adding all of the choices you always wanted to your menu selections.
AddOnis also adds features to the device, letting you selectively block or permit calls from certain numbers, adding options to various alerts, adding a configurable missed call indicator, providing In-Call notifications and so much more. Review the full feature list below for a complete listing of what AddOnis can do for you!
ProfilerPro description:
Profiler Pro is an application that lets you automate system sound profile switching during the day. You can schedule profiles each day to change from one profile to another. Each profile you set the time to switch,
the days which the profile will be active eg: Monday to Friday. Optionally if you have BlackBerry OS 4.7 and higher you can set to change a new Wallpaper on the HomeScreen and change a ringtone.
Profiler Pro also integrates with the BlackBerry Calendar application. You can schedule a profile switch by creating a new appointment. The profile will automatically switch when the appointment starts and ends.
If you are AddOnis user Profiler Pro can bring AddOnis out of standby mode if this feature is enabled in AddOnis.
AddOnis is available for $9.95 and ProfilerPro is available for $6.99. Separate reviews for both applications coming soon.
CONTEST: I have 20 copies of both AddOnis and ProfilerPro to give away. For a chance to win one of each leave a comment on this post using a valid email address. Only leave one comment, duplicates will be ignored and will not increase your chances of winning. This contest will end at 12AM EST on Sunday, November 1st. Comments left after this time will not be considered. *
Note: You can find these applications and thousands of others in the BBRocks! Mobile App Store, downloadable at bbappstore.com.

Exactly one year ago this very minute BlackBerryRocks.com went live and since then has grown in so many ways, all thanks to you, the readers!
It’s been a long and fun ride, at times getting a bit rough but all in all very much worth my time, work and effort. I’m not sure if many of you remember but BlackBerryRocks.com was originally MetroBerry.com for a short while before I made the name change. At that time everything on the site was basic with no tutorials, no dedicated pages like what it has now, no stores, no structure, almost no readers.
Believe it or not I was once an amateur theme creator and the original purpose of MetroBerry.com was to showcase the themes I would have created. Once I got into blogging about everything BlackBerry…it was all downhill (in a good way) from there.
After two months as MetroBerry.com I felt a name change was necessary, and so BlackBerryRocks.com was created. I completely re-designed the site and created the logo from scratch. I had no idea BBRocks! would become the site it is today, having amassed a very sizable following and becoming acquainted with a bunch of awesome people in the process.
The site name and logo were both inspired by two of the things I enjoy most: my BlackBerry and Rock music. How did I come up with them? It’s actually a funny, quick story. I was burning out trying to think of a new site name and a logo that would work with it. I had some rock music on in the background while I was brainstorming, and randomly grabbed my BlackBerry while forming the “Rock Devil Horns,” the hand signal commonly seen at rock concerts. Everything clicked at once and it was the perfect, fun way to show the awesomeness that is BlackBerry.
And so here we are an entire year later. I have some plans for BBRocks! that I hope to see come to fruition soon. Just a preview…site and logo redesign, regular reviews with video, regular giveaways and a few other things I won’t mention just yet .
Speaking of giveaways, I know it’s BBRocks!’s first birthday but as it’s already been given the gift of awesome readers, I’ve decided to give back to the readers with a bunch of contests where you could win BlackBerry applications, themes, games and accessories!
Keep an eye on BBRocks! throughout the day for the contest posts. You won’t be disappointed .

@cipriani15 let me know about a new BlackBerry application he just released called Textender.
Textender basically extends the SMS character limit beyond the standard 140/160, allowing you to send longer SMS messages at once. This app will work for BlackBerry devices on CDMA networks including Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, U.S. Cellular, Bell, Telus, Cricket, and MetroPCS.
Features:
Send messages beyond 140/160 characters
Send to up to 6 recipients at any given time
Can be accessed while composing a text/sms
Stand alone app which can be assigned to a convenience key
Displays a message count so the user is aware how many messages they are sending
Sent messages will be saved as one whole message in native message app on the BlackBerry
**Please Note: Your carrier will still charge you for the total number of messages sent, not for one message each time Textender is used**
Textender is available for $1.49 until October 31st, after that it will go up to $2.99. This app will work on all BlackBerry devices running OS 4.5 and higher.
CONTEST: I have 25 free copies of Textender to give away! Simply leave a comment on this post before Friday October 2nd at 12AM ET for a chance to win a copy. Good luck! *
