Blackberry Storm Downloads/App's
May 28, 2009 1:17 PM   Subscribe

What are some cool downloads/applications for Blackberry Storm? I would prefer that they are free, but if they cost a little thats ok too. I don't have very many app's on my Blackberry yet and would like to get some good ones. I guess I would like to get good app's that provide music streaming, connections to resourceful news contacts like NPR, maybe some games, maybe some cool art, etc... Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

You should have a look at evernote.

Poynt. Uses your GPS or cell-tower based location and helps you search for businesses, movies, etc around your current location. Even pulls movie showtimes!

I don't have the Storm but just in case you don't know about crackberry.com. They have a lot of free ringtones and active forums where you can find suggestions.
Here's one thread that may have some ideas for you.
I've noticed that the free things seem to kind of come and go. I just kept trying things till I found ones that worked.
You might ask your question in one of their forums and see what you get. Good luck.

Bloglines makes an outstanding feed reader for BB, much better than any other I tried when I had a BB. There's also an excellent BB app from the NYTimes. Both of those are free.

Disclaimer: I own the Pearl and not the Storm, but a quick google should reveal if the apps are Storm-friendly.

* I found this list of apps to be helpful. This one as well.
* Best free app for checklists I've seen: MaraTick. Beats the one that comes installed on your BB.
* They're not free, but I love all of bellshare's apps (especially berrypopup, which makes your text messages & e-mails pop up). Their tech support/forums are excellent. The apps cost around $5 each, but if you follow them on twitter for a while, they've been having some great sales. Best free chat client i've used is also from bellshare (www.instango.com)

Seconding crackberry.com love. They post weekly summaries of apps that are new, free, or on sale in their blog. It seems like the storm has a lot more "fun" apps than the older models, so definitely check there.
