The top free BlackBerry apps come from every corner of the AppWorld and you are sure to find something you like here. If you don’t see your favorite free app listed, it might be under one of the other sections of this top 50 BlackBerry app series.

8. Adidas MiCoach
Adidas MiCoach is a running application that helps you gain speed and endurance.

MiCoach gives you just the right amount of support and coaching as it works you through a running regimen. It uses the GPS to track the distance and pace of your run, and offers you daily workouts.

7. Ka-Glom
Ka-Glom is one of the most fun and addictive puzzle games available on the BlackBerry, and it is completely free.

The game has three different modes and an in-game tutorial to help you learn how to play. There isn’t anything special about that game that I can put my finger on, but you’ll be coming back to play it again and again.
