Blackberry: Storm 2 On The Prowl




It's been a little over two months now or so since I got my new Blackberry Curve 8330. I was hesitant to get it because I knew the Tour was coming out soon but was sick of my Storm. So I decided to dump the Storm and get the top selling Blackberry, the Curve. Now pic are starting to surface for the new Picture 1Blackberry Storm, the Storm 2. Physically you can see some cool features. The main one is that the four hot keys at the bottom are now apart of the main screen where as before they we separate from the screen itself. I do think this will help its over all function but to be honest, as long as the touch screen is a clickboard, its not worth it! The fact that you have to push the screen in on the Storm made it way too slow and not worth the hype. If the screen was a normal, solid touch screen, I think the Storm would be just as good as the iPhone. I will be interested to get my hands on the new Storm but most likely will continue to stick with my Curve. The speed and weight is amazing and the OS has worked flawlessly the whole time I have owned the phone! Word to ya mother!

New Wii Sports is Wii-Tacular




Today I had a chance to play the new and improved Wii starter game: Wii Sports Resort! When Wii first hit the scene a few years back, Wii Sports seemed to be one of it's most popular games. Thankfully Nintendo decided to take their original hit and kick it up a few notches. The new Wii Sports Resort game consists of 12 different games that include basketball, archery, skydiving, fencing, frisbee golf, along with a few other originals like Wii golf and bowling.

The new Wii Sports Resort game also uses the new Wii Motion Plus adaptor which helps the Wii's remotes wii-motion-plussensitivity. The only catch to the new Wii Motion Plus adapter is that all four players who are playing in the Wii Sports Resort game must have one! This is frustrating unless you don't mind spending an $60 to buy 3 extra Wii Motion Plus adapters. The reason I only say 3 is because one automatically comes with the game when you buy it.

Overall the new game is great! I am a big fan and plan on buying the game very soon. I think it will be a crowd favorite at any party or gathering that one may have and its easy and fun to play. So if you own a Wii, definitely a great buy!
