First and foremost: I doubt RIM would send out spam.
However, I just received an SMS on a phone number that is not used at all with anything related to RIM other that a BlackBerry App World account. As I really don’t believe RIM would be sending a text message telling me that I have won £500,000 pounds ($825,750), I have to assume that BlackBerry App World got hacked and people stole my mobile phone number from there. Here is the text:
From: +4915159929067
YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAS WON 500,000.00 POUNDS IN THE BLACKBERRY MOBILE
PROMO,FOR CLAIMS SEND EMAIL YOUR NAME,MOBILE NO & COUNTRY TO
blackberryoffice@london.com
There is no other way that my phone number is stated anywhere else than on App World. Though, the email address and currency being used indicated a source in the United Kingdom — the +49 sender phone number prefix indicates Germany.
I found a site on the Internet talking about the very same message, read more here: BlackBerry Smart Phones UK PROMOTION
Did anyone else receive that text message?

Application: Color ID – LED Color Customizer for Contacts
By Benzoon | February 1st, 2011 | No Comments »
This application was on BlackBerry App World Top Selling Paid Application for quite some time now, I finally decided to take a look at it. After reading the description, I decided this is a Must-Buy application. Basically, Color ID allows you to assign custom LED colors to specific contacts for emails, sms and phone calls. With this app, you will know who messaged you or is calling you at a glance.
This application may be suitable in many situations, whether in a personal or work situation. Color ID has made over 4,000,000 users happy and is still the top seller.
- Syncing with Address Book is easy! Go into your Contacts list, highlight the contact you want to add and hit the BB menu button – select “Add to Color ID” and you’re set!
- You must grant Color ID Permissions when you run Color ID! It’s safe to grant them – otherwise the app WILL NOT WORK.
- ALL new apps require a battery pull after installation – this is NOT app specific, this applies to all applications.
- If you upgrade to full version, you need to DELETE the Lite version & do a battery pull after install to get it to work properly.
- There is currently no way for us to add colors for SPECIFIC BBM contacts.
You can get Color ID for $5.99 or try out the trial version, Color ID Lite.
Download Color ID Lite to try it out

MO-Call Giving Insighters Free Credits to Call During Christmas
By Benzoon | December 17th, 2010 | No Comments »
An Insight just emailed me and asked if there is any application he can use for free communication between him and his girlfriend (2 BlackBerry users) when she moves to India, while he stays in France. Well, Harper, from our last week’s article about MO-Call, we introduced a voIP service for BlackBerry users that two MO-Call users can call each other for free as long as they are both online at the same time. I think this should be the best option for you.
Your girlfriend can also use MO-Call to call her friends back in France while she is in India too. If she registers for a new account, she will get a $1 credit pre-loaded in her account.
But I have more great news for you, MO-Call read our article and really liked it, they are going to exclusively give Insighters a total of $2.50 FREE credit if you register an account with the promotional code “BBINSIGHT“. $2.50 of free credit will roughly gives you 2-3 hours of free long distance, depending on where you are calling from and to. So Harper and other Insighters, don’t miss out on this fabulous deal! Save up on long distance so you can buy yourself that 57″ LCD TV that you’ve been wanting to get for so long!
Click on the link below to redeem your free $2.50 MO-Call long distance credit.

Then let us know what you think about the application and its service.
It is true that it has been a problem for many BlackBerry users to send messages efficiently to the non-Smartphone users. They are able to communicative effortlessly with the BlackBerry users, but it was not at all feasible to communicate through messaging with the non-Smartphone users around the world. Therefore to help you out from this drawback, Kik has developed an application for the BlackBerry users.
The BlackBerry application called Kik Chat is an easy to use messaging service, which will allow a BlackBerry user to send messages even to non-Smartphone users. You can send numerous messages side by side with the help of this application.
Kik was initially working on a musical application for the BlackBerry handsets. They were developing an application for the BlackBerry users to enhance the way we listen to music. But they took everyone by surprise with the new Kik Chat Launch.
To bring more smiles to your face, the application will allow you to send message at an extremely low price. If you are sending a message to a BlackBerry user, then you won’t be charged anything for that. But if you are sending it to a non-BlackBerry user, then the message will cost you even less than a penny. Along with that you will also get 50 free messages per month from the application, which you can send to the non-BlackBerry users or non-Kik users. So, if your requirements are not so high, then you can simply use the 50 free outbound messages. If you exceed this limit then there are packages available, such as 100 texts for $0.99, 500 for $2.99, and 1000 for $4.99.
The BlackBerry application is completely platform independent. Therefore it does not matter to which operating system to your BlackBerry belongs; the application will work in each of the platform for the Smartphones. Therefore this application is extremely useful for those people who either have to frequently send messages, or have to send message across far distance.
Kik is really excited about this development. But they also said that this is just the beginning of their journey. They are looking at this development as a way to venture into the development of Blackberry applications that will make sharing of music, photo, and video easier for the BlackBerry users. The Kik Chat application will provide them a platform to successfully launch their music and video applications for the BlackBerry handsets.

YES – OUR FREE BlackBerry SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD IS BACK! Cool cracks knew we keep our promises! (even though we are running late; again)
We have had a survey on this free download to actually get your feedback so we know what you really want. We had hundreds of voters and the race was pretty close! Let me show you the results:
Result of February Survey on BlackBerryInisght's Free BlackBerry Software Download
Flop: 7.2% liked RotationLock; Top: 28+% liked PowerControl.
You spoke! The Free Download is: PowerControl
PowerControl is a small application that helps you save battery on your BlackBerry. You schedule times to switch the device off and back on. Now you might say: “This is already built-in the BlackBerry with Auto ‘On/Off’, why would need this then?” BlackBerry’s ‘Auto On/Off’ can only switch your device off and back on a designated time on weekdays and weekends. With PowerControl you can schedule the BlackBerry to turn off and back on any time on every day of the week. You can even set multiple on/of schedules per day. Say: you don’t need to be bothered while you are sleeping and during lunchtime. This is only possible with PowerControl! Of course, while your device switched off, it saves a lot of battery as the radio, email, WiFi, whatever is not running and does not consume any power! 
No questions asked! BlackBerryInsight brings this free download to you with no requirements. Just click the download link below and download the application directly to your desktop. Unfortunately, we do not have an OTA download link available for this so you need to use your BlackBerry Desktop Manager or PocketMac.
Enjoy!
PowerControl is the ultimate battery saving tool! It allows you to schedule your device to turn off and back on when you want.

PowerControl is a handy software that helps you automatically shutdown and power off at a scheduled time you specified. It allows you to set up a power off and on schedule from Monday to Sunday and you can even set up a different schedule for each day. By shutting down the BlackBerry® on regular basis, a lot of battery power can be saved! Imagine you work from Monday to Friday and every day you sleep 6 hours. In these 6 hours most people do not need the device to be switched on and waste battery. You could turn off the device before you go to bed, but this is hard to remember every single day. With PowerControl you will never forget to turn your BlackBerry® off and back on. Another example would be that you want to have the Wednesday lunch with your buddy without any interruption. Just set a PowerControl schedule to turn the device off every Wednesday at 1 pm and turn it back on at 2 pm. You have the break you deserve and you even save battery!
