BlackBerry Messenger
Straight from RIM, BlackBerry Messenger is the best instant messaging software out there today... hands down. The feature we like best is the PIN to PIN capability.

If you own a BlackBerry, and don't already have this installed for some reason, you can download it by clicking the link below.

Google Maps
Ultra-usable and extremely handy, Google Maps gets a big thumbs up from us.

A definite must have for any BlackBerry user that is on the road (and aren't we all). Pull up maps with the touch of a button and find your way in seconds. Great for driving, especially if you have a navigator in the passenger seat!

Yahoo! Messenger
Another free instant messaging client, we like Yahoo! Messenger because it communicates perfectly with the desktop version of the software. What this means is you can keep in touch with your friends and family if they are at home on their computer. No need for them to be on a Berry!

BlackBerry Push Weather Clients
Get useful weather information on your berry each and every day. The software (choose from AccuWeather or The Weather Network) lets you choose how you would like to receive updates... as a text message or have a browser channel appear on your homepage.

Very neat, very handy, and we recommend it.

JiveSlide
If you're big on pictures and photo albums, you'll love JiveSlide. It allows you to access all of your photos on your blackberry instantly via the internet. Just store your photos on Yahoo! of Flickr, link the albums to your account, and you're on your way.

We like this software because it completely eliminates the need for cables and waiting for images to download to your handheld... Just use the service wirelessly (wireless is always good!) and let the images stream down to your berry!

Piconews
Receive news from all over the world on your BlackBerry. You choose the content you wish to receive, and Piconews takes care of the rest. Very handy, and very cool if you have some downtime and wish to check out the news.
