Found it's "unofficial home": http://www.coolove.pcriot.com/ It's built for OS 4.X, so it's a wee bit incompatible.. Click the JAD link at the bottom of the page for OTA download, otherwise grab the .ALX & .COD file's to load with BB Desktop Manager & a usb to micro-usb cable. It's better & worse than TextWarrior: still no "symbol button" support, and this doesn't have a way to Open a file, and also it has no "Menu" (BB button doesn't pop-up a black/white text, blue-highlighted command menu, except for saving/deleting). It's colorized "native" file explorer is nice, letting you use "escape" button to go up a directory level, just like BB's own "Files" app handle's it. TextWarrior's lack of native file dialog can be annoying, but it's ability to open file's make's it a little better. To use BBNotepad's file explorer, press "escape" button after finishing editing, and then select a folder, hit "BB button", and select "Save here", "Delete", or "Info" (to see size in byte's). Unzip command didn't seem to work, and there is no Zip command.xplorer is nice, letting you use "escape" button to go up a directory level, just like BB's own "Files" app handle's it.

Thanks for the useful review of BBNotepad. I'm thinking of adding dedicated Boost BlackBerry and Boost Android sections to the forum where users can discuss and share tips about Boost's smartphone platforms and apps for them. Is that (the BlackBerry one) something you would use?

Doesn't sound too bad, but you'd have a hard time finding many unique app's/game's for Droid or BB OS that aren't already well known, since both have a lot of third-party site's that already hunted down most of it, or developer's release directly to them. These 2 OSes will likely have more "warez" on them, too, due to...evil nerd's.
