Must have applications for blackberry users

January 8, 2010 · Posted in Blog, Random, Social networks, Twitter

I have had my blackberry for a few months now and I am surprised I have not posted about it many times before!

I often write posts and articles via my blackberry curve, it definitely has been a crackberry for me!

Must have apps –
Blackberry messenger: This is the place to communicate for me, I used to be a text addict but since I have a large number of friends on BBM it has replaced the need to text! It allows you to send pictures, send voice files, location (for the stalkers and partners out there) and generally just keep in contact.
For those who do not know where it is go to instant messenging and then blackberry messenger, you get a unique pin which allows your fellow blackberry messenger contacts to add you and chat. The best and easiest way of getting your pin is typing in mypin into BBM or text and will give your pin straight away.

Opera mini: Everyone hates the web browsing on their blackberry so well known browser king Opera have developed their very own, most PDA users use Opera and some more techy users of newer mobiles.
The main benefits are, it is fast, much quicker than blackberry browser, it offers full web access which most do not and you can have speed dials so its a lot quicker to access the sites you wish. Download it here

Google sync: I am a real gmail sorry googlemail for the newer users power user. I have had gmail for ages and since being unemployed it has helped me organise my emails, contacts and life.
Google sync is basically where you can sync all your blackberry contacts with your googlemail contacts, it does have an annoying bit where it can duplicate data but you can delete or edit in either.
If you use gmail and your blackberry then download this. Also check out the google suit for blackberry its really good and offers maps which is actually quite helpful.

Social media everyone’s favourite time waster and some people’s lively hood has been made so much easier on the BB.

Ubertwitter: Ubertwitter is the best mobile client I have used, I am not a fan of the web version of twitter and as I have more than just a few twitter accounts I can manage in one place. To me its a mobile version of hootsuite (which is the best web client for twitter) and offers some really easy features. You can add your location (not for me) you can upload pics in a click of a button (no need to mess around with twitpic) and is so quick. Download here

Facebook: Yes we all love to check facebook on the go, upload a quick picture to annoy your mate and update your friends on what you are doing. Anyone that has used the mobile version gets annoyed but the BB version is actually really good and allow you to do most things you would on a computer/laptop. It also can sync into your contacts and calender which reminds you of birthdays, events and give you a nice little mug shot of your friends. Honestly if you like facebook and use it on your BB check it out.

A silly battery draining app but I love is buzzme pro only app which cost me any money but allows you to manage the number of vibrates, the colour light that flashes for emails, texts, phone calls etc. You can even create your own colour how cool is that!
Check it out but I do warn you it does drain your battery.

Anyways check these out and if you want to add me on anything just ping me a line,
