    First, I'd point your BB browser to mobile.google.com and pick and choose your favorite google apps. I recommend Search (yeah it's just a bookmark, but it's handy), Sync (sync your GCal with your BB!!), Maps (8130 = GPS), and Picasa.

    Then head to mobile.blackberry.com and pick up your favorite IM client. I use Google Talk and Windows Live, but that's me. You can also pick up the Facebook for BB app there somewhere I think.

    It's not an app, but I like Youmail.com. You can make it an app by getting BB Web Shortcuts from ... somewhere. I can't find the link, but Google will help you here. (sorry)

    Some folks like Yahoo! Go, I didn't, YMMV.

    Have fun!

    I've got:

    Weatherbug
    Crackberry
    ESPN
    NY Times
    CNN
    NY Mets
    Softreset
    WorldMate

    The only app I've paid for is Empower.
    I also have Sprint Navigation, which was free for me, but obviously isn't free for everyone.

    Sorry about the newbie question, but what is the Crackberry application? Is it just a bookmark for the site basically?

    on the topic: Popular Blackberry Download Links

    There are links to tons of applications. I would post the URL but it turns out I can only do that after 10 posts.

    That's what it is. You can also select whether you want it to launch to the Forums first, or the WAP homepage.

    It's just a bookmark really. Launches your browser and displays your search results.

    You should definitley try Viigo since you seem to like news like i do. All the news you want with one icon to click. One of my favorite apps. You add what news you want, from all major newspapers, news stations, etc. You can also adjust how often it updates, amount of articles you receive,etc.

    I've downloaded Viigo but wondering if I've done something wrong....in the Stocks & Finance section all I'm getting is "Sample Portfolio", how do I download my own portfolio? I'm looking to download something from the TSX...is this even possible or are they all American sites?

    I believe that the Stocks & Finance portion are still under development in the latest beta release.

    I've also D/L'd SoftReset, which you can reset your BB when memory gets low without having to pull the battery. It's a neat lil app.

    Yahoo! Go 3.0

    I too recently removed Viigo due to the memory allocation. Nice app though!

    Facebook (cause I use it heavily)
    Weather channel
    ESPN
    CB launcher
    Detroit tigers
    Detroit Free Press
    AIM
    Qsms (SMS shortcut)
    Google Maps (the best when I remember to use it!)

    Tried viigo and yahoo! To go and was not impressed! Same with googles app, I have my homepage set to google so I'm not worried about search results or any of that mumbo jumbo


    Is skype free? Is it essentially computer to computer calling = free calling??
