    ok - so i've had my crackberry - aka blackberry - now for about 6 months or so...and I had a PDA a long time ago - and remember using a few different apps on that - but with the new BB really haven't done too much until the other day.

    I discovered a bunch of apps off of the Blackberry App World app and can NOT put my BB down!!! I found one app that I used to use on my smartphone back in 2004 and am SO happy to have it back again! SplashShopper is the name of it (free trial for now, will buy it here in the next few days...) also lovin' the "POYNT" and "AP NEWS" apps...

    but I'm wondering - for those crackberry users out there - what are some of your favorite apps? are there any you've used for wedding stuff?

    I have a work-issued bberry, so all the apps are blocked. Instead, I get to use it to receive work emails 24/7 and get assigned weekend work :( I can't imagine ever getting a blackberry as my regular phone - I think I am scarred for life!

    the GPS I haven't used yet...I have Verizon - do I have to pay extra for the GPS on the unit or is that included with the data plan?

    MissACS    March!  

    Hi. I'm MissACS and I am fully dependant on my BB.

    Ok for apps? I'm a big fan of free.

    AIM

    GMail

    WeatherNetwork has a decent little app.

    OperaMini for a browser

    UberTwitter is great for Twitter.

    Viigo is a great RSS reader.

    Beyond411 is fantastic to use instead of calling 411.

    GoogleSync, syncs up my BB calendar with my gmail calendar, and vice versa.

    QuickPull, it basically does what a battery pull does. Clears your cache.

    MissACS    March!  

    Verizon disables the GPS within the BB unit. They want you to buy their VZ Navigator GPS service for like $5 a month instead.

    I have been described as Ari Gold...aka:  the way that I gesture with my BB as if it is part of my body.

     

    We have BB time outs at home :)

     

    'Nuff said.

    I have a Blackberry Curve, and I love the Blackberry, but I HATE THE CURVE. I got it right before some of the better ones came out, and this one just kills me. The memory is so le blow. *sigh*

    That being said, I'd be lost without my BB. Totally lost. :p

     

    I just wish I could check WB from my BB!!!!

    3M - I use "blackberry App World" - that's where I got all my apps!

    I haven't been able to figure out crackberry.com yet but will play around with it when i get home. :D

    I'm on Verizon with my 8830 and mostly use games, GPS (try the Google app - free), and work emails (hey, its theirs :))  I use the BB AppWorld too for all the downloads.  I find I'd rather use the web for facebook - their web page is better than the app!

    I agree that WB needs to be on there!  Sometimes you just need your fix when waiting in line at the store :)

    My girlfriend just got a Droid - she's gone as far to claim its her new boyfriend, Henry :)  I got to play with it one afternoon and I know why - this thing is slick!  Come March I'm upgrading my personal phone :)

    Ok guys, I've gone freakin' crackberry app CRAZY! finally just downloaded Opera Mini for it...omg i'm IN LOVE!!!! not to mention POYNT, Amazon, Facebook, Pandora, AP...

    course, now that I'm lovin' Opera Mini - I do plan to use it instead of my work computer to get online all day...ACK!

    allright - so what are some other great apps for this thing? :D

    caszos    June 2010   Florida

    I love my Pandora.  I wish it had a sleep function though so I could listen to it and fall asleep without having to wake up and turn it off. 

    DUB is pretty cool, but only if you have people that also have it.

    I like a lot of the free games.

    Does anyone know where I can get a free (or really cheap) wedding countdown app?  I want to know how many days left until the wedding!

     

    Thanks!
