What about Free BlackBerry Applications worth downloading for other BlackBerry devices?
Instead of trying to answer each of you individually, I figured that I would throw up another list. If you own a BlackBerry, you’ll probably want to check this out…
10 Free BlackBerry Applications Worth Downloading:
- Poynt — Poynt is, by far, my favorite Local Based Search application for the BlackBerry. This is an application that every BlackBerry user should have.

- Opera Mini 5 Beta — Opera Mini 5 Beta has only been available for a few days, but, it is such an improvement beyond the BlackBerry Browser that we just had to include it… (Especially for Blackberry Storm users)

- BlackBerry App World — I went back and forth on whether I should have included BlackBerry App World on this list, however, seeing that most of the other apps on this list and many other free BlackBerry Apps can be downloaded via BlackBerry App World directly to your device, it made the list.

10 Free BlackBerry Alternative Web Applications or already installed apps that you can use so you don’t have to download anything more to your BB and make more room for GAMES!:
1) Poynt – m.yellowpages.com
2) Viigo – Google Reader Mobile eddition (m.google.com/reader)
3) Ubertwitter – m.twitter.com
4) QuickPull Lite – ctr + shift + return (scheduling = alarm clock to wake you plus pressing ctr + shift + return
5) Facebook – m.facebook.com
6) BUZZME – Setup your custom profile for vibe and then ring. And if your out and not at work, choose ring! Vibe eats up precious battery life you can use for games!
7) Pandora – Download your podcasts with media sync and itunes or do it the old fashioned way and download it from firefox?
8) Google Maps – Blackberry Maps does the exact same thing only the GPS works everytime!
9) Opera Browser – Blackberry Browser
10) Blackberry App World – This is where you get your games from so i guess it’s necessary. 9 for 10 aint bad right?
Yeah I know these lack a lot of the convenient features of the BB apps versions but why would you fill your tiny little blackberries memory with apps that add a few features when you can instead fill your Blackberry with cool games like Chuzzle, Bejeweled and Fierce Towers!
Sick and tired of seeing trendy Pandora everywhere when Slacker is soooo much better.
Slacker radio is so slack it is only available in the USA
has anyone noticed that when you check the about section in BB Maps that it is powered by google maps? all of the functions that keep rolling out on google maps app were already present in BB Maps. google maps just looks better.
