My 2 cents: Ok now i have had my blackberry for a little while now and although i might not think that it is the greatest machine in the world i do think that there are some FREE apps out there that makes the phone a lot more fun.
I have always believe that you might have the best machine (PC) around but without any good software its just a pretty paperweight. Please note that there is no order to this and that most of these apps use a lot of bandwidth so make sure that your plan can support it and are still BETA but all work well…
Make sure to the the OTA links provided below from your BB browser for a fast and easy installation :O)
Qik: This is really fun streaming video app that allows you to share with anyone and everyone what’s going on anywhere and everywhere you go
– OTA linkGoogle Maps: Ok there is not much to say about this app just that it works and i know that even though you might not get directions in some countires it is still pretty cool seeing yourself (meaning the little blue dot) rolling down the street :O)
– OTA linkBolt: Now i have only tried 3 browsers (BB / Opera Mini / Bolt) and this one is definatly the fastest especially on Wi-Fi…
– OTA linkFlycast: Radio player that work outside the US…They now have a desktop client which i have been playing for a little while now and seems pretty cool.
