On my BlackBerry I have a few personal favourite applications and games, ones to be productive and ones to pass the time. In a recent shopping trip to ShopTheBerryFix.com I stumbled across Fierce Towers a defence strategy game for your BlackBerry. Fierce Towers offers you a challenging game of defending your base by placing towers in locations hoping you have enough power to take down the opposing bots.

I love this game so much we’re going to help our readers discover Fierce Towers by giving away 10 copies from ShoptheBerryFix.com. To enter the contest leave a comment on this post, anything counts just don’t post double comments. Then on January 23rd at 11:59 PST the contest will close and a winner will be selected.

But in the meantime hit up the break for more of the review and a few more photos.

**Game works with BlackBerry Torch, Storm1 and Storm2, 89xx, 96xx, 97xx.

A while back we took the opportunity to review Blurts when it was in its infancy, and even then it was an extremely useful app. Today Michael let us know that they have updated Blurts to version 2 bringing a whole slew of new features and bug fixes. Blurts 2.0 brings;

• Major UI Changes:
  • Toolbar to allow easier access to BlackBerry commands
  • Battery and signal strength for BlackBerry is displayed on PC
  • Added support to change alert UI theme by placing custom display.xslt in Application Data\MLHSoftware\Blurts\theme folder
  • Minor tweaks to alert UI
• Improved contacts download
• Improved screen capture
• Added Windows Hot Key support for Read Clipboard, Send Clipboard.
• Added copy text support to alerts and dialogs

And a whole lot more that can be found on their website. With the newest version just hitting ShopTheBerryFix.com we teamed up with Blurts to giveaway 25 copies of their application. This is a first come first server by entering the coupon code “BLURTTBF” in ShopTheBerryFix.com to get your copy.

Update: Since DriveSafe.ly is a free app and Xobni is in second place, ShopTheBerryFix.com is giving you 15% off Xobni until June 8th. Just use coupon code XobniReadersChoice on check-out and get Xobni for $1.69.
Two weeks have gone by since we started up our readers choice poll for best BlackBerry app of 2010 and while it was a close race only one app could have the tittle. Xobni came in second with 20.17% of the votes which was a close call but with DriveSafe.ly coming in with 28.57% is takes is crown as TheBerryFix.com Readers Choice App of 2010. Congratulations to DriveSafe and if you want to pick up their app you can grab if from ShopTheBerryFix.com or in BlackBerry App World.

First I want to apologize for all the confusion with the Torch contest. We had contacted winner #1, with no reply. We contacted winner #2, with no reply and finally we have contacted winner #3!!…….and we have a reply. I’m actually quite shocked  that two winners gave up this awesome prize and it’s probably as simple as making sure you add sitesupport at TheBerryFix.com to your safe email adress. So as not to drag this on anymore I would like to congratulate the winner of a brand new BlackBerry Torch to…….

So it seems like our chosen winner didn’t want to claim their BlackBerry Torch, so we booted up the good old contest winner machine and have a newly selected winner. The winner of the brand new BlackBerry Torch from the carrier they currently use is……….. Ps Alex you can get it in Sunset Red or the standard grey.
