This is one of the first of what is sure to be a long line of carrier released apps. The new Vodafone Update app allows you to easily update your Twitter and Facebook status all in one place. While not bursting with features, the app is great for casual users who don't want to install the Facebook app or a full blown Twitter client. Features include:
Vodafone Update is available totally free for the Bold and Curve 8900 only for now. We're not sure if it works across other carriers, so if you install it be sure to let us know!

nba jerseys, Overview The Motorola Barrage is an unglamorous but very sturdy, usable basic cell phone. If you buy the cell phone on Verizon Wireless, you can take advantage of its push-to-talk features and use your Motorola Barrage as a 2-way radio. It's tough, too – apparently you can even drop your Motorola Barrage in a glass of water. Design The Motorola Barrage isn't going to win any prizes for beauty. It's a large cell phone, 3.8″x2.10″x9.5″, with a solid-looking hinge. There are rubber patches on the front and back of the Motorola Barrage, and it's comfortable to hold. The cell phone has a satisfying, authoritative closing action. The cell phone's outer screen is 1.6″ with 65,000 color support. It shows date and time, caller ID, and has signal and battery readouts. Underneath are controls for the Motorola Barrage's music player. The camera lens is above the screen (it doesn't have a shutter, unfortunately). Also on the outside of the Motorola Barrage you'll find the push-to-talk button, volume control and jacks for Micro-USB and 2.5″ headphone connection. Inside the Motorola Barrage, there's a 2.2″ screen, also with 65,000 color support, and 220x176px resolution. It's not amazing, but it does what you need it to do. The mechanical keys for navigating around the cell phone are well designed and comfortable to use. There's a joystick, a clear key, two soft keys, a shortcut for the camera and a talk/end key. Specification You can use the Motorola Barrage's 3G to set up the cell phone as a modem, although it can be a little sluggish. It also features webmail, Bluetooth and GPS, plus you can sync your Motorola Barrage with your PC, and it has USB mass storage. The Motorola Barrage includes the usual range of cell phone add ons – calculator, notepad, calendar and so on. The camera is 2MP with five different resolutions for shooting. There's a digital zoom, but no flash, plus the Motorola Barrage will shoot up to a minute video footage. Verdict Although the Motorola Barrage's 3G connection is not particularly impressive, and the cell phone's multimedia isn't what you'd call dazzling, it's a very solid piece of equipment with great push-to-talk call quality.
