I personally haven’t tried to record a Voice Note during a phone call, but apparently it isn’t possible. That is until Berry Record was released, currently available for the BlackBerry Storm.

Berry Record is the first BlackBerry application that allows you to record Voice Notes while you are on a phone call. Sometimes you may need to make a note of something during a conversation but may not have a pen handy. Berry Record allows you to record some Voice Notes while on the go.

Features:

  • Allows recording of voice notes while using phone application
  • Intergrates Record Note button in phone application
  • Allows recording of voice notes from the application menu
  • Option to save to the phone or media card

Here’s how it works:

  1. Open the Berry Record.
  2. Click the menu button and click on “Settings.” You have the option to save voice notes directly to your device memory or the memory card.
  3. While on a call simply click the menu button then click “Record Notes.”
  4. When finished, just click the menu button and click Stop “Recording Notes.”

Berry Record is available for $2.00 in the store and in the Mobile App Store. Unfortunately there is no free trial available so if you buy it let me (and everyone else) know what you think in the comments!
