Re: Must have apps for BlackBerry Bold 9900
I searched and couldn't find it already mentioned, so I will just say that Syncamatic has been absolutely delightful for me, since I refuse to use that half-baked excuse for a notes app called Evernote. It syncs more than just notes/memos, but that's all I need it for. There is a monthly fee to sync your MemoPad to your PC/Mac, but you only have to pay two bucks for the web sync version, and you can access all your notes, etc. from the browser. Works great!
Re: Must have apps for BlackBerry Bold 9900
20 apps In order of usefulness to me (excluding apps already installed such as calendar, mail, native browser etc.) -
1. Google Maps (how I go anywhere, pretty much)
2. Opera Mini (Stable browser + Opera Link)
3. Advanced OS & LED (LED changes + iLaunch + battery monitor + automatic device reboots)
4. WhatsApp (Practically everyone I know is on this now, unfortunately for BBM)
5. Facebook (app has come a long way)
6. Twitter (ditto)
7. Social Feeds (Great RSS reader, takes up minimal space)
8. Poynt (Local city companion - find restaurants, gas prices etc)
9. Globe & Mail Investor (How I check my stocks)
10. Vlingo premium (Used mostly while driving - make calls, send texts)
11. BlackBerry Travel (My go-to travel app. Check weather, currency exchange, flight status changes, hotel prices)
12. BlackBerry Traffic (Not bad for turn by turn navigation, but requires an exact address which I am not often able to provide)
13. DropBox (Cloud storage)
14. Documents-to-go
15. foursquare (fun to use, have run into friends before at check-ins. Sort of my social media fix until I get instagram or something)
16. Evernote (Probably should try to use this more)
17. Shazam Encore (What's that song??)
18. Photo Studio Editor (Used to apply filters before uploading)
19. Gmail app (Bit better for Gmail than the native messages app)
20. Blackberry Mobile Conferencing (Has come in handy for all the teleconferences I take)
Still have a few more that I use (LINE, Windows messenger, youtube, podcasts etc.) but not enough to be worth mentioning. Waiting for Viber for a truly quality VOIP app and I'm totally set until BB10 apps-wise.

A well thoughtout and annotated list. I do without the social apps but use most of the others. Thanks.
