I was asked to give a review for the QuickLaunch application on my blog/forum site,
Berry 365, and I thought i would share my opinion over here as well.
Here Goes:
For the past 24 hours i have been road testing the updated version of QuickLaunch. Lets get straight down to it. Is this product worth $4.99? The answer is a resounding YES, more on that later.
Ill give you a brief summary of what the application provides. It has been specifically designed for the Storm and allows you to set shortcuts for some of your features you use more aggressively on the phone. A typical example of this is being able to set one of the functions to text a specific person at the click of a screen. This is extremely handy if like me you text the other half quite a lot throughout the day.

This is how I have my QuickLaunch set up. You will notice the option DO NOT PRESS above that is just a quriky little thing i put on there it just takes you to my Facebook! :D

When i first read about QuickLaunch i didn't really understand what it was going to do for ME! Its not until you get it set perfectly to your needs that you realize how much time it actually saves you. It takes away the awkwardness of navigating to certain features on your phone. If like me you like a clean screen, i have 1 row of icons, then you will understand how much of a pain it is getting to a specific feature like the memory cleaner or even bringing up the phone book.

Another nice little feature of QuickLaunch is the ability to check system functions like Battery and Free Memory at the touch of a button... no more going to options to fret about how much memory you have! :D

It runs perfectly with the operating system and just looks like it should have been there from the start. It does make me wonder how all the brains at the BlackBerry headquarters couldn't think of this when designing the phone, but hats off to Erik he really has out smarted the folks at RIM.
The best thing about QuickLaunch, for me, is being able to program a web adress into it.... I spend a lot of time on the phones browser and most of that time is spent on 3 different sites. Now i have access to them at the click of a screen.

I would have scored this product 10 out of 10 but it didn't have an option to make me a coffee meaning it did absolutely everything else i wanted it to do.
Its an awesome program
Peace Out
