Thread: New BlackBerry Smartphone Simulators Now Available For Download

The BlackBerry Developers Blog has posted six new smartphone simulators for download today. These simulators help app developers work their magic as ways of testing previous to release. I know many of the great devs we have on the BlackBerry platform are going to be ecstatic about this news. Most of us wont have a use for this simulators though but rest assured they are extremely helpful.

In essence, it allows developers to run or simulate how an app would run in a specific phone/OS' environment. So let's say a dev doesn't have a Bold 9900 but they want to see how their app would run/look on a 9900, they can use this simulator for it.
