New Site Launching SOON!!!

2008-12-04T04:39:00.000-08:00

I bought the domain www.mystormmedia.com, I will be putting wallpapers/ringtones that I created for everyone to use free of charge, though donations are appreciated to maintain the site up and running :D

I still need to find an affordable hosting place. I was using photobucket to keep all my images, but the 25GB of bandwidth was eaten like nothing in a matter of days.

It's still a work in progress, so ill keep you guys posted when I have it up and running :D

In the mean time, if you would like check out some wallpapers that I created visit my Photobucket account.

There is much bandwidth left though, but if you like what is on there or would like to see more feel free to email me omie07[at]gmail[dot]com

And if you can , any little amount helps for the time, effort and keeping the site up and running :D

Again, I will keep everyone posted in the coming days :)

Blackberry Storm 9530 Wallpapers Gallery

2008-11-26T00:03:00.001-08:00

Well as you may have seen, I haven't been around much. I've been busy looking for work and what not.

Since my last update the much anticipated and hyped Blackberry Storm has launched. I've been making wallpapers for it for members of Cracberry and HoFo. I have created over 350 wallpapers and still taking requests.

I uploaded them all to my Photobucket account, but its not a Pro account. Within a few hrs of creating it, i've already had over 5k visits.

If this keeps up, the bandwidth will be all used up.

UPDATE: After not even 2 days bandwidth is over 4GB and visits over 43k. The wallpapers may be done in a couple days, since I don't have a Pro account.

UPDATE 2: After about 7 days bandwidth is over 16GB and visits over 158k. If you like the wallpapers PLEASE donate. Even if its $1, because then everyone can benefit from the album being kept up.

If you would like to , so I can get a Pro account please do so and send over some requests for wallpapers, ill have them up as soon as I can. Usually within the same day, but a lot of the time within a few minutes of the request.

Alltel V9m flashed to Telus working on Verizon

2008-09-13T00:47:00.000-07:00

I flash phones as a hobby. I have done many phones and this is my current creation. Alltel V9m flashed with Telus firmware to enable JAVA for free games and what not. MMS works, Internet works and even Video on the external screen. By flashing to another firmware other then Verizon you enable MANY MANY features. With this one you can view texts on the external screen, makes calls from the external screen and even view video on it.
Here is a video on the V9m in action with video on the external screen.
I can flash most any Motorola phone on Verizon to the Motorola UI, I don't charge a lot and turn around time is under a week. I have to test and make sure all services work. I have done the V9m, K1m, V3m, V3c, L7c but I can also do the Z6tv. There currently isn't a Moto UI for the W755, so I can't do that phone. If you want me to do it to any other phone please contact me. :D

Making calls directly from your web browser on the Dare

2008-09-12T23:49:00.000-07:00

I thought this was a cool concept, it may not be very efficient, but it works for those times you just don't want to exit your browser. You can make a call while still browsing, you won't be able to keep browsing while on the call, but I think you get the idea.
