I've never had a BB before but I know there are countless apps out there!
Most of you had the opportunity to use them in the past and find out which one's are worth it and which aren't. So list your top 5 apps and why they'll be the first to get a spot on your Tour. If you have an order please list them starting from most important to less important.
If we're all getting a Tour. Shouldn't we have a game plan on what we'll be doing 10 minutes after we get it activated?
PS- I'm not sure if Tour themes are out yet, but if it's compatible I'll accept a theme name as one of the 5 .
SocialScope Lite, Berry411, Jabplite, MyAlarm, Nobex, Shazam, Slacker... Guess its like a Pringle- can't eat just one.... BB Apps, can't have just 5! :P

It seems Facebook is a hot app for the BB world. Guess that's a must.
For AOL Instant Messenger, do you guys use AOL's AIM or a third party client?
The main things I'd like my BB to do is display the current weather on the "home screen," be able to use Facebook chat, AIM, Streaming Music, and of course, surf the web .
I know this is a little off topic, but do you guys ever get scared you're going to go over your bandwidth limit when you stream? Is there a way to check if you're close to 5gb, aka: check current data usage? Does it count if I hijack my own thread?

You can use Palringo for Facebook Chat and all your other chat clients. I can't believe I forgot to mention my fav BBWeather!!! It shows the current weather and/or temp on your homescreen and has been the best weather app for me.

What about the app that allows you to send texts more than 160 characters??? Nobody cares about that? That would be my first app, with push email apps to follow.

Guess that app is no biggie to me cuz you can already send more than 160 characters via MMS

Well I'm actually hoping that the Tour will allow 160+ SMS messages without third party apps. I've vented about this countless times in another thread; if my 3 year old Verizon vx9900 can do it, my friend's Curve on AT&T, and also an unlocked GSM Storm can do it, then I see no reason that the Tour should have this 160 character wall. If it does, I may look into that app. Totally forgot the name though.
However I see no reason why only Verizon BBs should have this issue. It's a software restriction, now a hardware one like wifi. Then again Verizon is known for disabling things via software too .

Is BerryWeather the same thing as BBWeather? If so, then this seems like the far more popular app. I've read about WeatherBug memory leaks but then again the Storm's OS itself was a memory leak .
