What are the best FREE apps for the Blackberry ( I have a Pearl 8130 ).
I currently have Crackberry, Opera Mini, and Viigo downloaded - are there any others that you recommend & why...
Thanks!!

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)
Weatherbug
Crackberry
ESPN
NY Times
CNN
NY Mets
Softreset
WorldMate
Gmail
Bank of America
Google Sync
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.
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.
Empower pro

Cnn

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 have:
Crackberry launcher
Viigo
Iskoot (make skype calls from your phone)
Mypoynt (my favourite gps search app)
Google apps
Vlingo
Mobireader
Opera mini
Weather eye and traffic eye

These are are all great free programs that I use on a day to day basis.

Me have:
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??
