Remember to go to display options and make keyboard launch applications rather than go into the universal search.

After that is done,

QuickLaunch (Paid)
Opera Mini (Free)
BeWeather(free or paid)
Pandora (free)
Google Maps (free)
BlackBerry App World (free)

Some that I use a lot.

Blackberry protect is a must. I lost my first Bold 9780 maybe 2 weeks after I downloaded it and backed up all my info, and when I got my new one, it restored almost everything such as contacts, texts and emails. Other than that, these are my must-haves:

1. Scoremobile (sports scores)
2. AP Mobile (national and local news)
3. Pageonce (bank account balances and such)
4. Weatherbug (weather)
5. Emergency information (stores your emergency info)
6. Poynt (search for local businesses, movie showtimes and theaters, and gas stations)
7. Google Voice (instant messenger)
