July 15, 2011 by Robb Dunewood 2 Comments

I tend to install quite a few BlackBerry applications, so, I like to blow my device away every 3 to 4 months and re-install the applications that I really use on my device.  Although there are numerous top notch premium BlackBerry applications in the wild, there are quite a few quality free BlackBerry apps out there as well.

Here is my top ten list of free BlackBerry applications that I just re-installed on my BlackBerry Bold…

10 Of The Greatest BlackBerry Applications Of All Time

November 30, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 6 Comments

Word on the street is that BlackBerry devices have been flying off of the shelves in droves since the official start of the holiday shopping season last week, and, one thing that we know folks with new BlackBerry devices like to do is load them up with great BlackBerry applications.  That being said, here is our list of, in no specific order, 10 of the greatest BlackBerry applications of all time.

  1. Google Maps —  You will be hard pressed to find any type of top ten BlackBerry apps list that doesn’t contain Google Maps.  We know that the native BlackBerry Maps has been recently updated, but, Google Maps is simply an application every BlackBerry user should download.
    Download Google Maps: http://m.google.com/maps
  2. Poynt — Poynt is one of those all-in-one location based search utilities that help you find just about anything that you are looking for locally at the click of a button and it recently one the BlackBerry Super Apps Developer Challenge.
    Download Poynt for BlackBerry:  http://m/poynt.com
  3. Tether —  Tether allows you to use your BlackBerry as a broadband modem so that you can get your laptop (PC or Mac) onto the internet without incurring a monthly fee from your carrier.  This app is awesome…
    Download Tether:  http://www.tetherforblackberry.com
  4. Pandora — There is a lot of debate when it comes to the best Internet radio app available for the BlackBerry, however, Pandora is always in the discussion.  It simply works and it’s free.
    Download Pandora:  http://www.pandora.com/blackberry
  5. BlackBerry Messenger —  BlackBerry Messenger is, hands down, the best mobile Instant Messaging application available on any device.  There are people who buy BlackBerry devices stating, “I want that phone that I can do BBM on”…  BlackBerry Messenger may actually be the greatest BlackBerry application of all time.
    Download BlackBerry Messenger:  http://www.blackberry.com/bbm
  6. Facebook for BlackBerry —  I know that a lot of people will question Facebook for BlackBerry making a greatest BlackBerry applications list, but, it hard to leave off the single most downloaded BlackBerry application of all time.
    Download Facebook for BlackBerry -- http://www.blakberry.com/facebook
  7. WorldMate —  If you are anything close to a road warrior and many BlackBerry users are, WorldMate is must install application. Even if you only travel occasionally, WorldMate is a BlackBerry app you may want to check out.  With over 5 million road warriors using the app, WorldMate is the best travel assistant that I’ve ever seen.
    Download WorldMate:  http://www.rimarkable.com/worldmate_live
  8. SocialScope —  Although SocialScope has been in the longest private beta that I have ever seen, over two years, it is widely regarded as the best 3rd party Twitter/Facebook client available on the BlackBerry.
    Download SocialScope:  http://www1.getsocialscope.com/
  9. BerryWeather — When it comes to weather applications for the BlackBerry, BerryWeather, a.k.a. BeWeather on BlackBerry App World, stands above the rest.  BerryWeather offers instant access to current conditions plus detailed 7-day and 24-hour forecasts for over 72.000 locations worldwide.
    Download BerryWeather:  http://www.rimarkable.com/berryweather
  10. BerryBuzz — BerryBuzz is a BlackBerry alerts and notifications application on steroids giving you the ability to create custom led colors for almost any event, set repeating alarms, and even vibrate and ring  simultaneously when you get incoming calls.
    Download BerryBuzz:  http://www.rimarkable.com/berrybuzz_download

Google Maps Updated To v4.0.1 — Now With Google Buzz Layer

April 7, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

Google Maps for BlackBerry has been updated to version 4.0.1 and now includes a Google Buzz Layer.  Google is notorious for not putting out release notes with their updates, however, the big “what to dos” in the latest version are, of course, the new Buzz layer that can be turned on and off from the standard map and the ability to search by voice.

Google Maps is a free BlackBerry download and you can pick it up OTA via the link below…

Google Maps For Mobile Layers

October 21, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 8 Comments

Google Maps for Mobile 3.2 came out today and it now has support for Layers.

Layers make it easy to view various types of information on your map and are especially helpful in situations when you’re traveling somewhere new. For example, you can turn on the Wikipedia layer to read entries about nearby places, then use the transit lines layer to help map out a route. Or you can use the My Maps feature of Google Maps to create a collection of places you’re planning to visit on your trip and then use Google Maps for mobile to access it from the road. You can also turn on the Google Latitude layer to see your friends’ locations.

There is probably something that BlackBerry Maps does that Google Maps doesn’t, however, I have no clue what it as and am pretty sure that I don’t miss it seeing how I am pretty sure that I don’t even have it installed on my device any longer.

Check Google Maps for Mobile out.  Just point your device’s BlackBerry Browser to http://m.google.com/maps.  It it is definitely a free BlackBerry application worth downloading.
