Just like the title says, maybe we can help people with choices for certain apps. List the apps you love so much that you will never get rid of them, and why. List the apps that you tried and hated, and why. Also, if you have any settings that you cant live without (certain themes, homepages etc)
Loved:
Beyond 411 - have been using since the Pearl days, even better now with GPS
iheartradio - awesome
Poynt - great for movie theaters
Google maps - probably the one app everyone must have
Speedtest - I like testing 3g, edge, and wifi. So far my best 3g has been 420kb
Market Filters - easy small stock market app
BB Messenger - if everyone had BBM, the world would be a better place
Capture it - simple, should be part of the BB OS (like the iphone)
Memopad - I use this all the time for scratch paper
Hated:
Goodfoodnearyou - good concept, but slow and a memory hog (menus for local restaurants)
Opera - while it has its uses, the .266 BB browser has been great, why have multiple browsers
Weatherbug - just felt funny to me
Quickpull - I guess its good to reset automatically, but I check my mem often so I dont need
Bloomberg - was actually a very good financial reader, it just kept erasing my saved stocks
Forbes - pretty good, but was slow
Other:
.266 - What a bad impression .167 gave me, .266 has been night and day.
Homepage set to Google reader - No need for Viigo or other RSS app, gives me hours of stuff to read with one click
8 icon today theme - How the Bold should have been IMO, only fault is no animated icons, memory usage is good
8 gig SD card - Great, but now I need to get a 16 or 32.
Epocrates - huge memory hog but alternatives not nearly has user friendly.
AP Mobile News - my daily source of news.
Pandora - I like it better than Slacker.
Google Maps - Can't do without.
Poynt - Keep it only for movies and theaters.
Telmap Navigator - for those complex directions where voice guidance becomes useful. May possibly avoid an accident by keeping my eyes on the road.
I also have a few Skyscape applications, the Bank of America launcher, an app called "QxMD Cardiology", and the usual few games, BB App World, QuickPull, and QuickLaunch.
I found useless:
WeatherBug - It's always sunny and hot in Scottsdale.
Other non-native web browsers.
Bolt
Auto Stand By
Quick Launch
BerryBuzz
Viingo
Google Maps
Poynt
Flycast
Trapster
Weather Eye
Facebook
Repligo Reader
Mobile Checkbook
Conversion on the go
Will Never Reinstall:
Quick Pull (no need can just reset by alt+shift+delete or use shortcut in quicklaunch)
Epocrates (takes too much memory and always running in background)
Mobile Data Alerter (costs too much and always running in background)
Buzz Me (not intergrated with sound profile, doesnt stop vibrating if profile is put ot quiet and always running in background)
Opera (not as good as bolt)
Skyscape (useless app doesnt have info about drugs specifically side effects)
i love and always will keep:
WorldMate Live (very helpful, for my job, especially flight status future)
Viigo (cant live without)
BlackBerry app world (of course)
Poynt (love movie searching future)
QuickPull (i think its must have app)
White Pages Mobile (love all its futures)
Shazam (in love with)
Capture it
Talk Later
SMS Scheduler
BlackBerry Alerts
TipCalcBB
Amazon
BBFileScout
Memory manager
Plazmic Theme iVista
Forward With Edit
Memory Eye
Message Scheduler
just deleted Opera. i used to love it, but on Bold its not as useful as it was on older BlackBerrry's
lol soo many complaints about Viigo. I never had an issue, I think the user settings need to be just right in order for it not to chew memory & battery.
