It’s a good thing when you don’t have to wait in line to save big on Black Friday, especially when (in this case) what you’re waiting in line for doesn’t run out. NikkiSoft is currently having a Black Friday sale for their incredibly popular and useful QuickLaunch BlackBerry app where you can get it at 50% off today only!

Configure a convenience key to activate QuickLaunch and when pushed a menu will popup showing a scrollable list of your configured actions. The menu can be set to appear on the Right or Left side and can be shown on virtually any screen so you can perform any action without backing up and navigating through your homescreen and folders saving you time.

I’ve had QuickLaunch since it was in beta for my older BlackBerry and all I can say about it is that it’s definitely a must have application. Normally $4.99, QuickLaunch is available for $2.49 until 12AM CST tonight.

Sergey Demyanov has released a new BlackBerry application called FancyLog.

With FancyLog you won’t need to type ALT + LGLG to access the Event Log, all you have to do is click the app’s icon. Being able to quickly access the Event Log is useful for developers or users who just want to clear up some memory. Accessing the Event Log on a Storm is a little more complicated so this app is definitely handy for touchscreen devices.

FancyLog will work on all BlackBerry devices running OS 4.2.1 or higher and is available as a free download in the store.

QuickLaunch has come a long way with its development and it only gets better with each update. In my opinion this is an application no BlackBerry user should be without, especially if you want to get the most out of your convenience keys.

QuickLaunch is a must have application for every BlackBerry owner. With an interface that is seamlessly integrated with the look of the BlackBerry OS, QuickLaunch will create shortcuts to most any application on your device with ease and style. In addition the added functions included with QuickLaunch will enable you to delete several other apps on your device saving memory making QuickLaunch the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of your Blackberry.

RIMGeeks has released an update to their popular BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife (BBSAK) application for desktop computers.

New in BBSAK version 1.5:

• Full System Dump (Save ALL Cods on device) (Dump CODs)
• Save button added to Read System (saves all the file names to a SystemRead.txt)
• Save button added to Read Event Log (saves Event Log to EventLog.txt)
• ACCURATE Progress Bar added to 3rd Party Backup
• ACCURATE Progress Bar added to Full System Dump
• Files now displayed as they are being saved
• Can now Save Multiple CODs at one time
• Error handling added when Read and Save COD button is pushed with nothing selected

Overview of main features:

• Wipe Blackberry leaving a 507 error
• Reset Blackberry to factory state removing any IT Policy
• Take Screenshots of your Blackberry (Screenshots stored in My Pictures\BBScreenies now)
• Auto-Detects if phone is plugged in first.
• Displays PIN so you know your connected.
• Will not let you do any actions until phone detected.
• Load OS will auto delete Vendor.xml and start Loader.exe. (BBDM is needed for this)
• Backup 3rd Party Apps
  • Save to Program Files\BBSAK\Backup (only 1 backup at a time) Will prompt to make rename if backup already exits (click ok to see folder for name change)
• Restore 3rd Party Apps
  • Restore within Loader.exe

This is a great utility to have, especially since it allows you to easily backup your 3rd party apps. This application would have saved me a big headache the last time my BlackBerry died on me (risks of betas) and I had to re-download EVERY application one-by-one.
