BBOS ALERT is a new app geared to all of us that want that new awaited OS LEAKED or otherwise... bbOS Alert
With great graphics and easy to use user interface and settings you couldn't ask for more in an app...
Even works for those using WIFI great support with a whole forum behind it ...
SO heeres how it works... an os is leaked for your device, bbos gets the message to you so your first to know in REAL TIME
Possible support for hybrids in the future...
if your device is off or out of coverage, you'll get the message as soon as data is available
Is your F5 button about to pop off of your keyboard? Or even worse, already gone? Your solution to staying up all night waiting for a new OS to leak is here. bbOSalert is a new application for BlackBerry™ devices that alerts you when a new OS has been posted on the internet. Once installed onto your device you can select which devices you wish to be alerted about and choose between leaked OS, official OS or both.
How does it work? Once an OS is posted on a site for download an alert will be sent out to whom ever has subscribed to that device. Along with the alert you will be notified of the version and where OS was posted (site wise) for you to download.
Currently bbOSalert is in beta testing. We encourage you to follow us on Twitter to read about updates and progress as we get closer to the public release. Our twitter account us Twitter.com/bbOSalert @bbOSalert
screen shots to come

Reason: not spamming, but this is huge
hmm how secure would this app be? i'm assume that someone has to enter in the info that would be broadcasted to everyone that owns the app. BUT how secure would it be on your end to prevent someone from gaining access and spamming out a weblink or just random stuff
It is secure. We are actually looking for a few pearl users to help beta test. If you are interested please e-mail [email protected]for more information. You can follow us on Twitter @bbosalert if you would like. v1 should be ready to go very shortly with v2 set to be out around November.
Does this app use push notification or will the app check against your server every X minutes? I can see this eating up the battery if it is not using push and attempts to update too often.

Push will be in v2 which should be out around November. However, your battery life will be fine with v1.
Also we have given 10 beta spots for giveaways on some of the BB sites. If they decide to go ahead with the give away, you will see it posted on their main pages.
I thought it was not support os5 after i upgraded however i noticed that alerts were stopped from my BIS email as junk... Any suggestion on how to alter that>???
