SplashPhoto is an award-winning picture viewing applications that allows you to view, edit and transfer pictures on your Blackberry Smartphone. It is highly customizable with a lot of options and an easy-to-use interface. Here is a brief look at its main features and inner workings.

Installation, How It Works and Main Features

Managing photographs and pictures on my Blackberry has always been one of the hardest jobs. Transferring pictures between my desktop PC to my Smartphone is even worse because it is time consuming and there is no fun involved. Plus, I always wanted a slideshow viewer on my phone. Lately a friend of mine told me about Omega One Software’s SplashPhoto. It's an award-winning piece of software and has already gained a lot of respect and appreciation for Palm & Treo phones. Basically it lets you view, edit and even transfer pictures and photographs on your Blackberry.

The most prominent feature of this application is its highly customizable and much faster interface. It even allows you to edit the pictures. You can zoom, crop, adjust brightness and contrast and also view images as a slideshow.

SplashPhoto for Blackberry

You can easily transfer pictures from any device like your digital camera, desktop PC etc. and view these pictures in a much quicker way than Blackberry’s in-built picture viewing software.

SplashPhoto can be purchased from the Omega One Software website for $32.95. After you have provided your credit card details and completed other payment formalities, you can download the setup file and install the application on your Blackberry. You can also download the 30-day trial version for testing the software from this link.

SplashPhoto has two components, one for your desktop PC and the other for your Blackberry Smartphone. The desktop module manages all your pictures and also enables you to edit and import these pictures to your Blackberry. The phone module consists of a picture viewer that allows you to view the pictures imported from your desktop PC. Pictures can be imported from the desktop PC by using Windows Explorer or a drag-and-drop method. The drag-and-drop method is more convenient and much faster.

The moment you start using this application you will realize that it's not only fast and powerful but also professional and committed as compared to other picture viewing software. The interface is easy and I was able to handle my large picture collection without much difficulty. The slideshow is also up to the mark and almost comparable with what you experience in Windows XP or Vista. While the zoom feature allowed me to view my pictures in any size I wanted and I used the crop and brightness/contrast features to give new freshness to my pictures.

Finally the synchronization of pictures between the phone and desktop PC is a piece of cake and is the best-selling feature of this application. Importing of pictures was never so fast and I could even add notes to define my pictures. Overall, this application is a must-have for every Blackberry user.

Final Verdict

SplashPhoto is the most powerful, convenient and fast picture viewing application for Blackberry phones I've ever used. It not only allows you to view pictures but you can also edit and transfer these pictures between your phone and desktop PC with great convenience.

The best thing is that you can also view the pictures by having a slideshow and even add notes to the pictures. I recommend this application to all my readers who need a powerful and fast picture viewing and editing tool for their Blackberry Smartphone.
