    On the CrackBerry.com main menu we have a link called "Downloads".

    Right now the offerings on these pages is pretty bare, but with time I would like to grow each to become a huge directory. Having a easily navigable and massive directory of free software/themes/ringtones/wallpapers should further make CrackBerry.com a destination location for all the CrackBerry Addicts out there.

    This purpose of this thread is to help me get started on compiling all of the "Free BlackBerry Software/Applications/Games" that are out there that we will want to include in this directory.

    In the posts that follow, try and provide as much information as possible per the format I have outlined below (if I'm missing anything feel free to add more info/detail). Thanks for the help!

    Name: Name of Application/Game/Etc.
    Vendor: Name of the Company that makes it
    Genre: Category of Application (Business & Finance, Communication & Internet, Databases, E-Books, Education & Reference, Entertainment, Games, Medical, Personal Productivity, Professional, Tools and Utilities)
    Description: Brief Description/Overview of the application.
    Compatibility: Device Compatibility (OS requirements)
    Your Rating: Out of 5 Stars

    Vendor URL: Website Address of Manufacturer
    Download URL: Web Address of the Page with the Download Link
    OTA download link: Over The Air download URL if there is one

    Anything Else: Any other comments, notes (installation tips), reviews, requirements, etc.
