Historically, all apps for Blackberry are written in Java. More recently it has become possible to create apps using widgets by using a mix of html, css and javascript.

You will need 3 things
1. Eclipse IDE
2. EclipseME (plugin)
3. Blackberry SDK
4. If you are new to java - Lots of patients

I like the fact that RIM have provided development libraries for learning the APIs, although they aren't arranged very well so does anyone have a link to someones blog post of something for the order in which I should watch the videos from Hello World videos (talking about the classes) through to the more complicated stuff with UI and Threads.

Thanks.
