10 Free BlackBerry Apps You Must Have
6>: Movies for BlackBerry
I’m a film-buff and a “CrackBerry” addict. And my mobile-movie-app of choice is Flixster’s Movies for BlackBerry. The free app gives you access to a variety of movie- and cinema-information, including show times for local theatres, maps and contact details to help you get there, ticket prices and more. And you can use the app to purchase tickets online via MovieTickets.com-though the process is a bit more awkward than I’d like. You can also watch movie trailers in some cases and read film-reviews from RottenTomatoes.com. Blackberry Apps World or Flixster

7>: NBA Game Time Lite for BlackBerry There are few things I love as much as my BlackBerry. NBA basketball is one of them. Many sports apps are available for BlackBerry, but I prefer the ones that focus on a specific sport instead of jamming them all into one confusing interface. NBA Game Time Lite is just that: A simple BlackBerry app that provides quick access to live game scores, player and team stats, league standings and more. Full disclosure: I use the $10 Game Time app for access to live-game audio, but your average round-ball fan should be just fine with the free “lite” version. Blackberry Apps World

8>: Poynt for BlackBerry I’ve mentioned Poynt numerous times in the past, but this search/movies/uber-app just keeps on getting better. The latest version does everything you’d expect from a local-search app-finds restaurants and other establishments, provides contact information and maps to find your way-and it’s both great-looking and easy to use. Poynt’s also a full-fledged movie-app akin to Flixster’s Movies software. And a little bird just told me Poynt’s about to get a new, weather-related boost from AccuWeather&shhh! In other words, you want this app on your device. Like now. Blackberry Apps or Poynt

9>: Buzzd for BlackBerry, You’ve got Poynt for local search, Urbanspoon for culinary-specific queries and Google (GOOG) for everything else. But what if you’re looking for the hottest, “poppin’-est” spot in your area at a given time? Buzzd to the rescue. Buzzd for BlackBerry uses input from social networks like Twitter to determine the bars, nightclubs and other hotspots nearest you with the most active social media users. And the app’s “Buzzometer” points you in the right direction. You can also read reviews and check images of specific locales from other users and contribute your own opinions. (Note: Buzzd works best in populated or urban areas.) Blackberry Apps World or Buzzd

10>: Speedtest for BlackBerry. Ever wondered just how fast your BlackBerry’s 3G connection is at home compared to its speed in the office? Or wanted to determine whether you get faster speed from your home Wi-Fi network or 3G? Speedtest for BlackBerry gauges wireless download and upload speeds for RIM smartphones on GSM 3G, EDGE and Wi-Fi. I wouldn’t get too worked up about the specific numbers Speedtest provides, but it works wells for comparing connectivity speeds, since any inaccuracy in readings presumably affects all measurements equally.
