Your BlackBerry is a mighty fine piece of machinery.
It does everything you want it to and more, right? Not quite! You can install 'BlackBerry Apps' onto your handset and make your BlackBerry do even more!
Here is a collection of some of the free BlackBerry Apps available to download.
Facebook For BlackBerry
Get Facebook on your BlackBerry
Facebook for BlackBerry is exactly that. A facebook application that sits on your home screen and links you up with all the latest happenings on facebook.
You get all your alerts in the facebook application just as if you were sat at your computer, and in many ways it's all a lot easier to manage.
Since I installed this, people are amazed at how I 'always seem to be on Facebook!'
That's the whole point ;-)
This BlackBerry app was made by RIM.

MySpace for BlackBerry
If you are a MySpace fanatic you're going to love this one.
MySpace For BlackBerry is an application created by RIM, and is a MySpacers dream.
You get to:
# access all your MySpace mail (sending and receiving)
# view and send bulletins
# add comments
# view friend's photos
# update your mood and status
# upload your own photos (straight from the camera!)
Any new messages or comments you get will make your BlackBerry beep just like when you get an email, and a little MySpace logo will show up along the top bar just under the clock. So you'll have MySpace tightly woven into your BlackBerry!
If that sounds irresistable to you then you can download the app by clicking here.
TwitterBerry
If you are on Twitter, and if you have a BlackBerry, you really need TwitterBerry.
TwitterBerry is a full twitter app that works a lot like the Facebook app above. You can write tweets, send @replies, send Direct Messages, see your friend's public timeline, and upload photos to TwitPic.
TwitterBerry puts a little 't' icon in your homescreen, integrates with the BlackBerry menu, and is free free free.

UberTwitter
Better than TwitterBerry...?
UberTwitter is another Twitter app that you may prefer to TwitterBerry above. I would suggest trying both and see which one you prefer. I have both installed but I now use UberTwitter more, but I prefer the look and feel of TwitterBerry.
UberTwitter can do some things TwitterBerry can't:
# Automatically update your location when you tweet
# Send videos in your tweets
# See people tweeting near you
But I still do prefer the TwitterBerry look and feel.
You decide!
