Is there any way or any app that will display the battery level as a percentage? I've installed battery watch but I need to open the app in order to see the info.
Also is there any apps that turn off the shutter sound?
I also use BatteryEx - it's pretty much the same as SmartBIndie but free - and allows for skinning of the icon which I prefer.
Make sure you get version 1.5 not the 1.6 version that is available from some links on CrackBerry forums.
Here's a link to the "skin" that I'm using thanks to Songbird. I think it's pretty slick looking...but the entire 60ish page thread in this link is filled with other skins...not all as functional as this one though.
