See BlackBerry® Caller ID on you PC
and send SMS from your PC via Bluetooth.
Version 3.0 just released!Now with BBM Support!
If you are like us, you sit in front of a PC most of the day with a BlackBerry in your pocket. Every time it rings you have to
dig it out just to see who is calling, and you think to yourself, wouldn't it be nice if the caller ID just popped up on my computer
screen so I could see who is calling before going through the trouble to dig it out of my pocket?
Well that is exactly what Blurts is designed to do. A desktop app and a BlackBerry app talk via Bluetooth to display caller ID info, emails, SMS messages and BBM messages.
With the Bluetooth auto connect feature, don't worry about missing an alert because you forgot to connect your phone to your PC.
No cables to tether your device! You have the freedom to keep your phone where you want it - your pocket, your purse, your holster.
And Blurts Pro takes it to the next level allowing you to place and answer (or ignore) calls from your PC. Also read and send SMS from your desktop.
We recommend first installing Blurts to ensure compatibility with your Bluetooth before purchasing Blurts Pro. You simply have to enter an activation
code to upgrade to Pro - no second install is required.

Feedback:
"I kid you not, I have Blurts running all day on my computer at work and whenever I'm on the home computer. Blurts is by far the #1 used app I have!" - Brad
"I think Blurts just may be the single indispensable feature on my BlackBerry outside of the core applications. I spend plenty of time in front of a computer and to not have to reach for my BlackBerry every time it goes off is wonderful." - Joe B
"I've spent the last few days playing around and looking over this app/software combo in Windows 7, and I have to say this is by far the best convenience tool I've come across for my Blackberry, sure there are apps and programs that let you control your smart phone already out on the market, but Blurts Pro gives you that Japanese less is more way of Desktop/Smart Phone integration, smooth and not to overly complicated. The bluetooth sync is quick and simple." - Daniel
"One thing I do have to say is that the response time between my phone ringing and the pop up on the computer is faster than I ever imagined." - Brandon
