* UPDATE fōne book is already available through the BlackBerry Rocks! Store and the Mobile App Store! Post updated below. *

Blinding Rain has updated their site to show that their fōne book application for the BlackBerry Storm will be available this Wednesday, June 10th.

The fōne book, a user oriented phone directory application, is the simple solution for finding contact information anytime, anywhere. Designed specifically for the BlackBerry® Storm™, the fōne book by Blinding Rain makes it fast and easy to connect with people, find a business, locate a good restaurant and map to locations and addresses, all “on the fly.”

With the fōne book by Blinding Rain you will have access to some of the most current directory listing information for over 210 million U.S. adults AND 14 million businesses – right on your BlackBerry Storm, almost instantly.

Once you’ve found what you are looking for, you can click-to-call, view the mapped location or add this new contact to your BlackBerry Contacts simply by clicking on the “add contact” icon – no more trying to remember the number and retyping it, no more cut-n’-paste and no more jotting it down on a scrap of paper.

Sounds like a useful application to have if you own a Storm. fōne book is available for $2.99 (lifetime license) in both the BlackBerry Rocks! Store and the on-device BlackBerry Rocks! Mobile App Store.

Let me know what you think!

In case you missed the post about fōne book last week, here’s a recap on what it’s about:

What is fōne book?

fōne book by Blinding Rain is currently in development. It is designed and being built specifically to take advantage of some of the advanced features offered by the BlackBerry Storm. The best way to characterize it is to say that, when complete, it will be a phone directory app, on steroids.

Have you been dissapointed with the selection of apps out there now? Tired of apps that don’t deliver as promised? Me too.

You see, we started as frustrated users, not with the Storm, but with the seeming lack of really creative and innovative apps for our phone. I guess what we all really wanted was the best of both worlds, the power, reliability and business background of a BlackBerry only with the flash and style of the iPhone.

For us, it all started with a simple question . . . “What if the BlackBerry Storm had a clever, usable tool with a real cool look, an intuitive, easy to use dashboard, that saved users time?
