Truphone, makers of the popular Nokia and iPhone VoIP application have finally released a version for BlackBerry. While still in beta and nowhere near as robust as the S60 version, Truphone for BlackBerry still features the same low calling rates (as low as 6¢ per minute!).
To help get you rolling, Truphone is giving away a $1 credit upon sign up. Click the link below to download Truphone for BlackBerry or to read more information.

Our sister site QuicklyBored is interested in all things entertainment on your mobile, and I guess this applies. A company named Pinota (Finnish for “to stack”) has released the first and only adult entertainment network for BlackBerry.
Right now, they’re offering a sign up to be a beta tester at:
Just don’t let your boss catch you ‘going beta’ on your BlackBerry at work, if you know what I mean.

A week ago we told you that Vlingo was running a closed beta for its Vlingo 2.0 voice-powered application. I’ve been told by our friends at Vlingo that the 2.0 beta is now open to all residents of the UK, US and Canada!
Because Vlingo is an application that learns and improves based upon user feedback, it’s really important that the BlackBerry Nation helps Vlingo out to make their application as useful as possible. This is especially true for UK BlackBerry users!
In addition to participating in the Vlingo 2.0 beta, you can also fill out a quick 10-15 minute survey. Doesn’t sound like your thing? What if I told you that everyone who completes the survey will be entered in a drawing to win an 8GB iPod touch or one of 3 $50 Amazon.com gift certificates! I thought that might peak your interest!
You can find everything you need to know about the Vlingo 2.0 open beta and survey after the jump. BlackBerry Nation, Assemble!

By now, you should know how we feel about Vlingo: we love it. But now, the makers of this great voice-powered application need your help to make Vlingo even better! Read this below:
Vlingo is currently looking for active BlackBerry users in the US, Canada and the UK to test the latest features and functionality of our voice-powered application. Be one of the first users to try it out and have direct input into how the product evolves. Sign up now!
To participate, you need to meet the following criteria:
* Have a Pearl, Curve or 88xx
* Are interested in using voice to interact with your BlackBerry
* Be willing to fill out a survey post beta
* Live in the US, Canada or the UK
As part of this program, you’ll be testing and providing feedback on vlingo features designed for social media, Web search, messaging and much more. The program begins on Wednesday, October 8 and runs for one week. All beta testers will be asked to include your e-mail address so that vlingo can contact you to fill out a brief survey at the end of the test period. We will never sell or provide your contact information to any other company. We ask you to keep your beta test experience private until the formal product launch later this month.
