Blackberry is now becoming the latest trend in Sri Lanka thanks to the increasing marketing by mobile vendors these days. Blackberry phones are predominantly used as business phones. However, given the immense popularity of the iPhone, Blackberry is pushed to make it look far more cooler than just a phone for sending emails.
We all know how much we love to use free stuff, so I have compiled a list of the very best in free Blackberry software. Take a look, you probably find something useful to you.
TwitterBerry
If you use Twitter and have a Blackberry, then Twitterberry is for you. With it, you can send out Twitter updates quickly and easily as well as see your friends timeline, view replies to your Tweets and direct message your friends. Download it from http://orangatame.com/ota/twitterberry/

Palringo
If you like instant messaging, you’ll love Palringo. It is a mobile instant messaging client which supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk and more, all in one piece of software. Palringo’s voice capabilities make it a great almost push-to-talk (PTT) software and a great piece of software to talk to your friends online or on their mobile phones due to its wide compatibility.

Facebook for Blackberry
We all know what Facebook is- the online utility which lets you share pictures, messages and online applications with friends. Well, now they have a handy Blackberry application which lets you do almost anything you can do on their desktop site, on your Blackberry. A really neat feature of this app is their recent update which allows you to automatically link Facebook profile pictures of your friends with their contact entry in your Blackberry’s address book. I use it all the time! Download this from your Blackberry browser at http://www.facebook.com/Blackberry
Best place to visit to see more Blackberry applications, is Blackberry Appworld.
Made directly by Blackberry, Appworld allows you to browse through a wide variety of many other Blackberry apps and download and install them on the spot from the application. Many different developers contribute their applications to the library that’s available for download. The limitation to this application is that you must have a free PayPal account in order to get through checkout of some apps. You can download appworld from http://www.Blackberry.com/appworld
Remember that almost all of these applications require an unlimited data plan from your Blackberry data/phone provider due to the amount of bandwidth they consume while in use. Have fun ! |
