Last night T-Mobile released OS 4.6.1.231 for the BlackBerry Curve 8900. OS 4.6.1.250 is actually the latest official OS for the 8900, but I figured I’d post this for those that only like using their own carrier’s OS.

• Device Fixes

  • Improved software performance and stability
  • Improved UMA and data performance
  • Enhancements to audio and speakerphone
• Resolved Known Issues

Ozzy Productions, the same developer who created the Wifi Disabler app (currently on sale till July 15th), has released their latest application called SIM Detective.

Losing your BlackBerry is never fun, even if you just misplaced it and you find it later on. For those times that you don’t find it and you suspect that you lost it or it was stolen, the chances of finding out who took it are slim-to-none especially if that person changed the SIM card for their own use.

SIM Detective checks to see if the correct SIM card is inserted into your BlackBerry. If the SIM card detected is not yours it’ll send a text or email to a pre-chosen friend with all the information you need to contact the authorities and get your phone back.

Features:

• SIM Detective is password protected, so only you can Enable/Disable this emails and texts
• Change the pre-chosen friend at will
• Have peace of mind knowing that your phone is safe

SIM Detective is available for $5.99 in the store and will work with any BlackBerry running OS 4.5 and higher. Unfortunately there is no free trial available so if you decide to get this app be sure to leave some feedback comments.
