6. Facebook For Blackberry
I must admit that when on my Facebook account, I rarely install many apps offered to me by friends. However I love the cell phone apps offered by some very skillful developers, and the Blackberry Facebook Application is no exception.
With this free application you can be notified on your Blackberry homescreen when you receive new messages on your facebook account. The program will even display your full wall messages, let you know who's poking you, show new photo tags and so much more. You can even update your status, check out your friends' status, and even post your pictures from your device directly. Basically you can manage your entire Facebook account without ever stepping near a computer. The cost is again free, and it's a simple install to your Blackberry device.
7. BBLight
This is a really simple freeware program that offers one simple solution, however, it's a solution that users who watch alot of videos will want to take advantage of. BBlight allows you to set a time length for when your screen will turn off. This is really useful if you're on a plane or travelling by some other means and your watching a longer video. Yes it's simple, but again it's free and rather a quite useful application for the heavy video viewer crowd.
8. WorldMate For Blackberry Devices
This is a must have application for travellers. The Gold package will cost you $99 per year, but pardon the pun when I say it can be worth its weight in gold. The app allows users to store their own itineraries, view a world clock and check out the weather.
Where the application really shines though is in its ability to display flight schedules and show the status of each flight you want to look up. This application can save valuable time by always keeping you on top of your flight plans, while giving you easy access to your airlines' phone numbers in case you need to make other arrangements. It may cost money, but with the time it can save travellers, it may be worth the cost.
9. Open Office For Blackberry
This is a great option if you need to edit Microsoft Office, including Microsoft 2007, documents on the fly. At $69.95 the program isn't too pricey especially when you consider what it offers. The screen on the Open Office application allows users to easily add Bold, Italic, and other formatting standards. If you need to edit office documents and keep the original formatting this is the way to go. But beware - to create and not just edit documents you'll pay an additional fee up to $70.
10. Cellfire
Normally I wouldn't include this program, but given the price of gas, every dollar saving technique is welcomed.
Cellfire basically blasts coupons to a user's cell phone with a unique 5 digit code which users can then show to clerks at local stores to receive the discount. Right now the program is already working with some major companies such as Dominos, McDonalds, and Sears to name just a few, and the number of subscribing companies is continuing to grow. The best part? You only receive the coupons when you choose to have your device go out and fetch the newest offerings, meaning you won't be bombarded with advertisements at all times of the day. This one's better than free. Not only will you not pay for it, but Cellfire can literally save you money.
Conclusion
Well there's my current Top 10 Blackberry Applications. I've included some great business applications and some everyday use items for the user who isn't necessarily attached at the hip to their device. I'll be sure to update this list, and with Blackberry's move towards Touch Screen devices, I'm sure i'll have a whole new list of applications in the near future.
