| |  BerryPopup vs. SmrtAlerts?
Anyone who's tried both have an opinion on how they compare? It would be nice to take advantage of the SmrtAlert sale if it's that much better.

Based on the features they seem close to identical. Nice thing about BerryPopup is you can get SmartAlerts (note, not SmrtAlerts) integration. SmartAlerts - Filtered Alerts for E-Mail/ SMS/ Calendar/ Missed Calls - Personal Productivity BlackBerry Apps
You can bundle both for $9, or BerryPopup is just $4.99 regularly anyways. Been using it for a long time and I like it a lot.
If you get BerryPopup + 20% Mobihand coupon it's gonna end up cheaper than SmrtAlerts, since SmrtAlerts is already discounted you can't use a coupon on it.

I tried SmrtAlerts when it was called Peekawho. It had severe lag when multiple e-mails would be received (especially when turning on the phone).
BerryPopup works flawlessly (no lag and can handle multiple e-mails with no problem). And I do also use it with Smart Alerts (both by Bellshare) and they are great together.
BTW SmrtAlerts is a different app than Smart Alerts!!! (confusing)

Oh crap, SmrtAlerts is peekawho renamed? I still have a license for PeekAWho, that crap is slow... BerryPopup no question then.

| papped,
I'm have a trial version of BerryPopup. It's great so far.
On the CB store it's now $6.95
So how do I get this 20% Mobihand coupon you speak of?
TIA

I prefer berry pop up. I tried both but berry pop up ran faster on my device, and I liked that I could set it not to wake my device everytime I got an email.
Smrtalert is still nice, but I prefer berry pop up on speed alone
