Favorite Apps on my Blackberry

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 downalod the BlackBerry App World™ onto your Blackbery 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.

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.

Thanks Amy. I can't wait to try them out. My problem is I can't update my blackberry or I will lose my sync access to my Agent office.

The Blackberry is a valuable tool to have, especially if you are using most of these apps. I use most you mention although I have never tried the modem app.

Thanks for the tip on JuneFabrics.com. Can you use it when traveling, that is the only time I really need it in the car driving to my destination.

Thanks for the links. I currently do not have the one for LinkedIn installed but I am going to add it now!

Thanks for the info and the links. I'm going to try them.

Amy, these are some very good applications. I will check out App World. Thanks for the links.

Amy..thanks for the imformation. I am thinking about getting the Blackberry. What do you think??

Amy - I love all this information. I am not doing nearly as much with my BB as I could, and should. TIme to take the time to do some more downloading and learning. Thanks.

I love my Blackberry, would most defiantly recommend it. I used to read my emails when I'm not near my computer and the Google apps are great. Also was able to use as modem on my laptop I use Sprint, but recently can not connect, need to check on it. Thanks for the info.
