Compliments of Amy Chorew
If you own a Blackberry then you’re probably appreciative of the amazing ease of use as a business tool. The keyboard makes sending and answering emails very easy. The ability to sync with your contact management system keeps your calendar, contacts and email at your fingertips.
Make sure your download the BlackBerry App World™ onto your Blackberry where most apps are found. http://appworld.blackberry.com
Here are some other apps to consider to make your Blackberry an even more effective tool. Google offers a great collection of mobile applications, including Google Maps, Gmail, Docs, and Sync. Deciding which one to include here was a tough call—until I realized just how useful Google Mobile Updater can be. This tool allows you to install a variety of Google apps—including all the ones I just mentioned—to your phone, and notifies you when new products or updates to your existing apps are available. Go to m.google.com on your computer.
Put in your cell phone number and a text message will be sent to your BB. Click on the link and download the applications. The brand new version has a voice to text search on google. You can say “flight delays at JFK” and it will bring you to a web site to help you.
Social Media. Take your updates on the road with you. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Linkedin all have apps.
Facebook – http://facebook.com/blackBerry
Twitter – Two popular ones are twitterberry and Ubertwitter.

LinkedIn mobile is available for your Blackberry, Search profiles, send messages, receive updates from your network, and invite to connect. How to get it: Go to m.linkedin.com on your phone’s web browser.
Flickr on your blackberry – Flickr Photo Uploader for BlackBerry smartphones
Last but not least.
Use your Blackberry as a Tethered Modem. http://www.junefabrics.com has a great app to do that. Plug your BB into the sync cord, and use PDANET for blackberries to dial your laptop into the internet.
