The wait is over! We are finally starting the private beta for BerryWeather 1.5
If you are interested in joining the private beta send an e-mail to customerservice (at) bellshare.com with the subject 'BerryWeather 1.5 beta'.
When installing this version over an existing version all your locations will be removed. You will have to re-add them.
Version 1.5.11
(Changes since official release 1.0.43)
- Added radar support for US locations
- Support for custom radar map (paste your own animated gif/png/jpeg url)
- Added cell/GPS location support (a special GPS location can be added, will use current GPS location on updates)
- Added new view 'Today w/ Sun and Moon' (rise and set times plus moon phase)
- Added new Widget 2 theme
- Added new homescreen title options ('BerryWeather' and None)
- Advisories will now only checked for supported locations (bandwidth saving)

- Improved scrolling on BB Storm
- Fixes background image changes not persistent after device reboot
- Fixes background image not being rotated in landscape mode on BB Storm

Does the cell/gps location work for verizon? Since verizon blocked gps capabilities, other third party apps like poynt search for cell towers. If this is the case I'd be interested!
