Picturedial for BlackBerry

Blackberry phones have most often featured applications and software that are ahead of the competitors. The new storm from Blackberry takes the user to a whole different world of mobile communication and it shows us how far technology has advanced. Though Blackberry phones are pre loaded with a host of very interesting and easy to use features, some of them can be tweaked or replaced with better applications from third party software developers. Such applications are now flooded everywhere in the market and one among those is the new Picture Dial. This application is mainly intended to make calling easier and faster to the frequently called numbers.

Picture dial has been exclusively designed for Blackberry phones and its chief functionality is to save time for the user by allowing him to select from a list of 24 frequently called numbers. This works more like the speed-dial feature one finds in most phones in the market today. In speed dial the user is expected to go through a lot of numbers before and in some cases required to memorise the buttons, which may be assigned to only one of the numbers that the caller is using. Using picture dial, the ease of keeping in touch with your closest associates has been taken to new levels. Here a picture can be selected to represent the user whose number is to be called. Here the task of choosing a picture from the phone memory or memory card is taken care of by a built in file manager that allows one to choose the picture of his choice.

Once the picture to be associated is selected there is also a picture editor that allows the user to crop the picture to the desired size or to select a desired part of the picture. If one finds this tedious, picture editing can be done via computer and then loaded into the phone. The picture dial application can also hold several numbers for the same caller but only a single email id. This means that the user can select which number the user will be available depending on circumstances. Picture dial is definitely one of the fastest ways to access number that are frequently called instead of going through an entire list comprising of pre dialed numbers. There are also small options like text colour changing and templates for SMS which are a worthy addition. Overall, Picture dial proves to be a handy application that delivers what it promises. The price for the software is $5.95 till March 20.
