I have got a Blackberry Storm as my birthday present and I was deeply in love with the gorgeous screen. I can’t wait to fill the 8gb card with videos to show off to all my friends. Before that I have tried watching a movie on my blackberry that I had already ripped with iPhone/iPod touch settings, The video works but the file size is unnecessarily large and the audio didn′t match up with the video well when playing on the Blackberry. I collect information here and there and at last get the problem solves. So below is the details shared here.

Output video format: mp4Output audio format: mp3

Video:Video Size/resolution: 480×320Video Bitrate: 1200kbps

Audio:Audio Bitrate: 64kbps Channels: 2 channels

Now if you have no idea what to do with that, then here are some simple instructions for you.

First you need a third-part software. I use Nidesoft program, probably the best Blackberry converter available. I download from its official website: Nidesoft. Note: the program you downloaded on nidesoft is free trial version, you are limited to creating video files that are a maximum of 2 minutes long.In order to convert videos longer than that, you will need to purchase the software with 25 dollars, or download the full version somewhere on google.com

Then if you convert videos from DVD, you should use Nidesoft DVD to Blackberry Converter and follow the step-by-step ways.Step 1: Launch the program Insert the DVD disc into the DVD Drive. Click the “Open DVD” button, browse your computer, find the DVD folder of the movie, open it, select some titles and chapters you want or you may select the whole video to convert.Step 2: make settings: click “profile” drop-down list to select “BlackBerry MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” format, click “Settings” to set video size and bitrate. If you want to combine two or several titles into one, you may select titles and click blank box before “Merge into one file” to merge them together.Step 3: click “convert” button to convert videos. Then it will be completed in few minutes.

However, if you convert from other videos, you should use Nidesoft Blackberry video converter with the following ways.Step 1: Launch the program and Click “Add” button to load source video files to be converted: Step 2: make settings: click “format” drop list to select “Blackberry MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” as output video format. Set your video size and quality under the preview window.

Step 3:  Click “Convert” button to start to convert video format.After the file is converted, just transfer the file to the videos folder on your BlackBerry through the Desktop Manager and enjoy your newly created video. By the way, the file converted can not only used on Blackberry Storm, but also other Blackberry phones such as Blackberry Pearl, Bold, curve.

Ok, until now you have got the whole idea of how to do with it. But you may encounter some other problems when doing it. Below are my problems and solutions I have collected after long time practice, list here to share with you.

I think there’s a virus in this Program!!??There’s no virus in Nidesoft. One person reported being infected by Backdoor.Graybird, but if you got it from the site I linked to in my post it did not come with the download. If you downloaded it from somewhere else on the web then I am not sure. Probably malware/spamers have uploaded it to phishing sites to snag people. Always make sure you download things from their original website, or from a trusted location like download.com, and always run antivirus and scan stuff you are installing.The higher the resolution, the better the video quality?Not necessarily at all. If you’re converting a video that is 640×480 and convert it to the same 640×480 resolution then all you’re leaving is more work for your phone. I understand the login behind it, the pixels get compressed and shop up more clear and sharper. But if you compress these pixels in the conversion process wouldn’t the same thing happen? So why not just convert straight to a 480×320 and save your Storm the trouble?

The higher the bitrate, the better the quality?Yes, that is true. However, the higher the bitrate, the larger your video files. So it is not necessary to raise your bitrate very high when you feel your video quality is fine. I have spent hours working different settings and the best results have hovered around 1200 kbps.

Where do I find the files?                                                                                            You may change the output directory by press “browse” button, or the destination will be set automatically at C:temp, you may press “open” to find the files.

Can I get ringtones into my Blackberry with the above idea?Yes, you can. You may get ringtones in that way both from DVD and video. But you need to make a little different settings. As Blackberry audio support .mp3 format, you need to select “Blackberry MP3 Music (*.mp3)” as the output file format. Then drag the converted file into ringtones folder in your memory card.

I’m trying to convert a movie purchased from itunes but the Nidesoft software gives me an error. When I view the details of the error it tells me not enough space on my drive. I have plenty of space. Now when I tried it with a movie (same extension .m4v) that was ripped in the past, it works. Any suggestions??Meet DRM.Itunes store video files are encoded with fairplay digital rights management that means they will only play on Itunes, Ipod, or AppleTV. I have found another thread to solve this problem, go to: http://forums.crackberry.com/f135/howto-put-drm-protected-files-your-storm-pics-118585/

Why are there black bars on my video?Even though it looks “widescreen” the storm is native 4:3 not 16:9. So unless you want to stretch everybody and make them tall and skinny you will still have the black bars.

Is there a way to make it fullscreen without the black bars?Yes, you can crop the file when you do the transcode, but I haven’t done it with Nidesoft Blackberry video converter yet. I’ll post it when I figure it out.

Ok, that is my details and I would keep updating my thread when got more solutions.

Yes indeed, Blackberry has truly dominated the Business market when it comes to mobile phones and mobile email. Their Hosted mail solutions enabling “Email on the Go” has definitely revolutionised Business Communications and increased productivity levels where companies have implemented their solution.

However the playing field is changing and RIM and they may not have it all their own way for much longer. Juggernaut Microsoft Corp. is going to make a major push on the software side of mobile e-mail and lots of new devices are due to hit the Business Market.

The Treo from Palm Inc (who are BlackBerry’s biggest hardware competitor) are due to launch an newly updated Treo. The new phone will run on Microsoft software. Also both Nokia & Motorola, the world’s two biggest makers of mobile phones have Blackberry clones in the pipeline. Hewlett-Packard also has a iPaq mobile device that launched last Autumn.

This army of competitors couldn’t have come at a worse time for RIM as they are currently locked in a legal battle with a company called NTP Inc. over patents. And this legal battle has even threatened to shut down the BlackBerry e-mail system in the USA. However unlikely the court-ordered shutdown is, it has definitely shaken Business users faith in Blackberry and created opportunities for RIM’s competitors. Good Technology, who are probably RIM’s biggest competitor on the lucrative software side of the business, has fielded more than a 100 calls from anxious BlackBerry customers recently.

Motorola’s Q and Nokia’s E61 both launch this summer and both devices feature QWERTY keyboards and are aimed as being direct competitors to the BlackBerry phone and who’s marketing will target Blackberry users. With all this competition going on though, RIM has been busy making plans and has licensed its system to other phone manufactures, including Motorola. The first non-BlackBerry device in the USA using RIM’s network, was the Nokia 9300,which launched in November 2007. For the most part, RIM’s devices are sold to Businesses who in turn section them out to their staff. Employees can then access all of their work e-mail from the road by using their Blackberry’s. Third party software solutions running on RIM’s Blackberry platform allow a host of useful Business applications. Things like GPS and hand held Satellite Navigation are great for those on the road or in the Transportation Business. Lawyers and Doctors can make use of the turn key Time Recording and Billing Solutions. Sales people can do PowerPoint presentations from their phones instead of lugging bulky laptops around. “Blackberry was the first to market with a turnkey solution,” says Richard Scott of BusinessMobiles.com a Business Solutions expert in the UK…. “It’s kind of a one-stop shop.”

“Whatever Business you’re in there’s definitely a software application that will save you time and money on the Blackberry Platform” BusinessMobiles.com is the UK’s largest independent mobile solutions provider. “The company’s ability to offer a complete device, software and hosted service package has been important to its success” Mr. Scott says.”The whole user experience is kind of seamless.” Much as the iPod dominates the music market in MP3 players Blackberry dominates the marketplace in Business Communication tools.. Analysts estimate that RIM has 70 percent to 80 percent of the mobile e-mail market but with all that competition coming who know for how long??

Blackberry Storm – the first ever touch-based Blackberry

Everyone knew it would happen eventually, after the iPhone was released, but this was the email giant’s response: the totally new, and totally innovative Blackberry Storm, RIM’s first ever touchscreen mobile phone. Oh, and I do mean innovative, because the Blackberry Storm has a whole new type of touchscreen, one that no other mobile phones have. You see, the Blackberry Storm has the world’s first ever ‘clickable’ touchscreen, and if you’re wondering what that means, well, basically it means that when you press the screen on the Blackberry Storm, it moves. It only moves a bit into the phone, but it does physically move, meaning that the whole screen on the Blackberry Storm acts as one giant button. So, when going through menus, you can tap the screen all you want, but it only selects something when you press the screen. So, that means no more accidentally starting programs you didn’t mean to, and when you’re typing on the onscreen keypad, the Blackberry Storm makes it feel like your typing on a real keypad! That’s rather useful, especially as the Blackberry Storm, needless to say, comes with the famous Blackberry email service. That’s not all you get, though, as it comes with a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA and GPS, along with Blackberry Maps, music player and tons of multimedia options. In other words, the Blackberry Storm is the very definition of the word smartphone.

HTC Touch HD – Windows Mobile gets a sexy new vessel

The HTC Touch HD was a mobile phone that surprised us all, since it virtually came out of nowhere. We’d seen the Diamond and the Touch Pro, so I don′t think anyone was expecting was about to get leaked next. But when it was, blimey did it grab us by the throat and not let go! There was one big (emphasis on the big) factor that caught everyone’s attention more than anything else: the HTC Touch HD comes with a massive 3.8 inch screen. not only is that bigger than the screens on any other phone, it’s bigger than most mobile phones! Combine that huge size with a resolution of 800𝚠 pixels, and the brilliant TouchFLO 3D interface, and you get the HTC Touch HD, a phone that’s going to give you the most satisfying touch-based phone experience you’ve ever come across. Put it this way, the HTC Touch HD is the first keyboard-less mobile phone that I can honestly say doesn′t need a keyboard. The massive screen makes touch commands so much easier than previous touchscreen mobile phones (and yes, that includes the iPhone). Features-wise, you get a 5 megapixel camera (alas, lacking a flash), HSDPA for super fast internet (and super-smooth, since you get Opera Mobile), WiFi, and GPS. In other words, the HTC Touch HD is simply stunning.

Blackberry Storm vs HTC Touch HD – Which should you buy?

So, if it comes down to a choice, which should you buy? Which is better, the innovative clicky screen of the Blackberry Storm, or the frighteningly HUGE screen of the HTC Touch HD? Well, on paper, the Blackberry Storm, but in the real world, there are a few issues. the biggest, and most worrying is that its innovation and biggest selling point is also its biggest flaw. You have to press the screen to select things, but the problem is that the screen takes that much force to press that when typing anything, it’s going to kill your thumbs very quickly, and start hurting. That’s a big black mark against the Blackberry Storm, that, having an email device that hurts you when you type and email. On top of that, the new operating system on the Blackberry Storm is rumoured to be a bit buggy, again letting it down. No such problems with the HTC Touch HD, however, because it has the already-proven TouchFLO interface, which is simply one of the best no the market. Not only that, but it hammers the Blackberry Storm in every way, from camera to web browser, from the onscreen keyboard to music, everything (well, in truth, the HTC Touch HD hammers just about all other mobile phones you can name). That’s why, if I had choose, I’d go for the HTC Touch HD any day. However, you should note, neither of them are as good as the Sony Ericsson X1…

The new BlackBerry 9000 supports the latest in communication technologies such as HSDPA high-speed networks. It of course supports WI-Fi as would be expected and boasts built in GPS capabilities and several multimedia features. The BlackBerry 9000 bespeaks professionalism and style with its satin chrome finished frame, sleek black casing and leather-look backplate. A newly designed full keyboard makes the new BlackBerry Bold smartphone easier than ever to use.

The BlackBerry 9000 in particular is better than ever before. The HSDPA support and 802.11 a/b/g Wi-fi capabilities mean one thing for streaming video, loading web pages and downloading email attachments: speed. With a processor of 624MHz, two times that of the cousin curve, it outperforms any other handheld device on the market. It also features 128MB flash memory and 1GB onboard memory. A microSD/SDHC slot allows the user to add even more memory if desired. All of the applications you′ve come to expect from BlackBerry are present too – phone, email, web browser, organizer and messaging capabilities.

Some are calling the BlackBerry 9000s display panel the best ever seen on a mobile device: 480×320 half VGA resolution! This is a color LCD which is actually fused to the lens, meaning unparalleled image quality. Pictures are sharp and lifelike, videos play just as smoothly as on your PC and documents, messages and webpages are sharp and readable.

This incredible display quality combined with the latest generation of browser, the BlackBerry 9000 is made for the web. The trackball fills the functionality of a mouse, allows zooming on portions of web pages and the BlackBerry 9000 also allows users to decide whether they see the full website content or mobile version of a page, if available. The updated browser now supports downloading attachments and streaming video using RTSP standards.

Not only for the business professional, the BlackBerry 9000 can perform numerous entertainment duties as well. The 2 megapixel built in camera has the ability to record video and features 5x zoom and flash. The new media player on this model easily displays photos and slideshows, plays movies in full screen mode and can handle a music collection to boot! The headsets speakers provide a surprisingly rich, full sound and the BlackBerry 9000 even has equalization software for when it is plugged into external speakers or headphones. With 11 presets for different styles of music you get just the right sound.

The Roxio media manager, included in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager suite makes managing the users music and video files child’s play. Also included is Roxio Photosuite 9 LE, allowing the user to create photo albums, even enhance photos instantly. You can sync your iTunes collection with the new BlackBerry Media Sync application.0 support means you can transfer files form your PC to your BlackBerry Bold smartphone in a flash.

Another great feature is the integrated GPS, which can be used even while making a call. The BlackBerry Bold can tell you exactly where you are and with the BlackBerry Maps application, can tell you how to get where you′re going too.

State of the art acoustic design has gone into the BlackBerry 9000, giving the receiver a larger audio “sweet spot”; this means greater clarity for your calls. Voice Activated Dialing is also included, as is Bluetoth 2.0 support which makes for truly hands off operation.

A host of convenient extras are includes, such as a travel charger, carrying case, stereo headset and USB interface cable. Backplates are available in a variety of colors, allowing BlackBerry Bold smartphone users to personalize their phones. With a rechargeable 1500 mAhr battery you get 5 hours of talk time and 13 days of standby.

To be true, Blackberry and business mobile phones spell synonymous.
