Hey crackberry friends. I know a thread like this already exists, but I thought I'd make one just for blackberry 8100 devices. This is going to be a list of all of our favorite apps to download for the 8100. I will try to include links as best I can so go ahead and post up your favorite apps and I'll continue to edit this first post whenever new ones get posted up. Hopefully this will be good for new people with 8100's to learn to love the phone. If nobody participates, we'll just let this thread die out, but hopefully we'll get some good ideas in here.

Note, for the most part I would like free apps, but if you find one that has charges that you must post, go ahead. If there is a charge, please post the charge as well so that I can include that in the description.

Gotta be said. This subject has been covered many, many times. I am not sure about the title either. The OP say it is "Our Favorite Apps" but then goes on to say that he prefers free apps and he will edit. This does not sound very "ours" to me.

I searched in didn't see one in the 8100 section. Just thought it'd be nice for us to have our own nice clean and easy to use thread for the 8100 series.

thanks for the list below, I'll add them soon.

I appreciate the effort that was done to provide these links and apps to those of us with the 8100. I am a newbie who just acquired this device. I mean it was free because I won it!

I just installed the 4.5 o.s. that Big Bad Wolf provided so I have learned a lot so far and you experts out there who give us folks a hand is commendable!

Thanks.
