Reuters Galleries

We just heard that Reuters has a free BlackBerry application that allows you to view Reuters Galleries directly from your device.  The Reuters Galleries app for BlackBerry runs on the BlackBerry Bold 9000, Bold 9700, Storm, and Storm2.  You can also try to force one of these versions to work on other devices like the Bold 9650 and various BlackBerry Curves.

The Reuters Galleries app for BlackBerry is a pretty straight forward app allowing you browse and view the same images that you see online.  The price, however, you can’t beat.  If you decide to give Reuters Galleries a go, leave us a comment and tell us what you think…

LendingTree Mortgage Rate Finder

Here is a a free BlackBerry app that is kind of cool, especially if you are in the process of looking to buy a new home or refinance and existing one. The LendingTree Mortgage Rate Finder allows you to find customized, up-to-the-minute loan offers anonymously from multiple lenders without having to divulge any personal information.

Simply enter the type of loan and loan amount you’re looking for – the app will perform a quick search of participating lenders and instantly provide you with customized loan offers.  Your information remains private and you’re only contacted if you choose to be.  Once you find a great offer, simply click to be contacted by that lender and move forward with the loan.

The LendingTree Mortgage Rate Finder BlackBerry App is definitely not one that all BlackBerry users need to install, however, those of you looking for a home loan probably should give it the once over.  You definitely cannot beat the price…

UberTwitter v.9747

There is a new version of UberTwitter, arguably the most popular Twitter client for the BlackBerry, currently in a closed beta.  The upcoming version, .9747, sports a completely reworked user interface which BlackBerry Leaks was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of.

Feedback on the new UberTwitter UI is pretty mixed.  It kind of reminds me of the official Twitter for BlackBerry client, which, I actually quite like, thus, you can probably figure out which camp I fall into.

Google Voice

The days of waiting for an invite to the coveted land of Google Voice are now over!  This VOIP service offered by Google is now available to everyone.  To take advantage of everything Google Voice has to offer, visit voice.goole.com, create an account and download the Blackberry app at m.google.com/voice from your Blackberry.

Although Google Voice for BlackBerry isn’t as comprehensive as I’d like it to be, it’ll definitely suffice.  Enjoy!
