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.
