Other protections in this tool warn against use of naughty words (it
won’t prevent them, but it will make you stop and think before send-

sending words in ALL CAPS.
✓ Speed Test is just what it sounds like; it measures the download
and upload speeds of 3G, EDGE, and Wi-Fi networks. It’s a good
way to find out if slow response is the fault of your phone or the
network to which it is connected.
✓ Battery Watch expands upon the simple indicator on the screen of
your BlackBerry. This Fixmo tool tells you exactly how much voltage
is left and translates that into an estimate of how much time for talk-
ing, browsing, or other apps. And it also takes your battery’s temper-
ature; a very hot battery is not a good thing. You can have it sound
an alarm when the power level drops below a certain percentage.
✓ Memory Monitor examines your phone’s memory use and cleans
up the phone’s temporary cache to speed up operations. Call
Indicator allows you to assign different LED colors for calls, texts,
and PIN messages.
