What Feature Or Program Do You Use The Least On Your BlackBerry? Posted in From the Forums... on 18 Aug 2009 11:58 by Bla1ze |
A rather interesting thread has popped up in the forums that poses a simple question: What Feature Or Program Do You Use The Least On Your BlackBerry? We all know our BlackBerry Smartphones are capable of a lot of things right out of the box and with carriers pushing apps to our BlackBerry devices often times we see a lot of things show up that we may never use in the run of a day, week, month or heck for that matter, ever. So, taking a thought from that thread what do you use the least on your BlackBerry? Is it password keeper? Is it voice notes recorder? Let us know in the comments and in the forums thread as well.

Doc to go... what a waste of space...
Yup, ive never used docs to go.
you do know you can delete it, right?
the compose button
I have a doc which is a list of the Rules to [Calling] Shotgun. (I can email it if you want a copy) and a spreadsheet of my CD Codes for my video games and windows applications.
I rarely use Ponyt, Docs To Go, Games [Word Mole, BBreaker]...most of the apps I don't use are basic ones like the Help feature, Search etc..
Google Maps FTW
I'd have to say I use voice-dialing the least. It never selects the right contact. I never touch Slacker radio for that matter either despite VZW initially thinking I wanted it
Task
Help
Search
BB Maps
and prob others I cant think of at the moment
Word.
10 Char.
BlackBerry Messenger
Brick Breaker (terrible on the Storm)
VZW Tones
VZ Navigator
V-cast
MMS
Slacker
Jeez, what do you have BB for?
Phone
email
SMS
Calendar
Facebook
Browser (yes I actually prefer RIM's)
Contacts
visual voicemail
weatherbug
Pod Trapper
Media
Camera (Still & Video)
Calculator
Games (Bubble Army, Air Traffic)
Google Maps
BeeJive (occasional)

Really? I think it's great on my Storm. I swear by it! Sorry to hear you have problems with it.
I rarely use Docs to Go, Voice recorder, Voice dialing and the stupid AT&T push-to-talk thing.
Task
Voice Recorder
Docs to Go
Search
Voice Dial(it never works so I use Vlingo instead)
Docs To Go
Music ID
XM Radio
AT&T Navigator
the phone app
Touché- And I of course, agree
Blackberry messenger

help
search
And the most ?
Email
Calendar
Doc2go
Adressbook
Telmap
Wikango
how is it that you don't use BBMsgr????
Both suck especially Docs To Go. I don't anyone who uses it.
I use Docs to Go, mostly for viewing but occasionally composing. Those who say Docs to Go sucks most likely are just unfamiliar with how to use the program.
Password Keeper...have never figured out the prupose of it
...keep my work passwords.
Me too. I have 5 different work related sign on screens and each has a different user ID and password. Each password also has to contain a combination of letters and numbers, with one requiring at least one capital letter and one special character as well. Top that off with the fact that they ALL have to be changed every 90 days, and they all change on different cycles...and some can be recycled after 3 months but others cannot. It's hard to keep track of them all.
Then there's the fact that I have to sign into different computers all the time....so using Password Keeper is a lifesaver, IMO. I will ALWAYS have my berry with me, so I won't ever be without all my passwords.
I never used:
Tasks
Voice Dialing
I just deleted those. I wish I hadnt deleted blackberry maps though, i cant reinstall it because I keep getting a compatability issue message.
And jfchadeyron, start using bbm man, thats the best part about our phones.
voice dialing
help
search
All the stuff that Rogers installs on the phone.
amen to that! drives me nuts
voice dialing & BB messenger
BB Messenger
Push-to-Talk
Music ID
Music Apps
SHOP Tones, Multimedia, etc. (I've never used those to buy anything!)
Streaming Music
Voice Dialing
Once in a while I will use Docs to Go, but it's few & far between
Voice recorder, voice dialing, tasks.
password keeper or "turn power off". I even have a folder for all of the apps that I hardly or never use to manage icon clutter.
why don't you remove them???? seems silly to "hide" them when you never use them. pack rat syndrome?
There are a couple, actually. Blackberry messenger and MySpace. I'm 50 and limit the "Social Networking" to Facebook. Sprint TV is difficult to get and the Sprint stores are (music and applications) don't get used either. Everything else is fine though. Just wish my Curve had WiFi.
I never use the Show All option or the "OFF" & "MUTE" buttons.
Password Keeper is great for keeping all the online passwords you use.
I don't use anything by Verizon or anything with a "Voice" prefix.
BB Messenger, Docs to Go, BB Maps, Voice Dialing, Tasks, Help, Search, Yeah, what is the purpose of password keeper. Now for the bigger question, what can I get rid of and still have a functional Blackberry, obviously BB Maps has some othr system tie-ins, so that's a no no...?
I've already unistalled the big ones:
password keeper
voice dialing
voice notes
all games
vzw tones
vcast music
VZ Navigator
help
BB Maps
I actually use Docs2Go for work so I need to keep that (it is my personal phone, I just have access to my work email on it).
I don't use BBM that much because I don't really know too many other people with BBs surprisingly. I'd probably use it more if I did.
Internet browser
Video camera
Music & video player
it's my work phone and everything else gets used almost daily. Bought the iPhone to "toy" with.
It would have to be Blackberry Messenger, got my Tour and deleted it, next to go will probably be Docs to go.
Help
Search
Password Keeper
Tasks
Voice Dialing
Voice Recorder
Brick Breaker
I've never used Turn Power Off
Tasks is another feature that I never use either.
The browser. It is so horribly painful to use, that I avoid surfing the web on my Blackberry at all costs. And Opera on the BB isn't much better.
This is my first BB and my first phone is the web, but I love it. I never have any problems surfing and finding what I need. Sorry to hear you do.

I also don't use doc's to go as much as I thought I would either. Eh. I'm just read for the ODIN!!!
DANIEL
How does nobody use tasks? This is one of my most used applications, I think my life would be an unorganized mess without it
BBM.
Nobody I know has a BB
the calender
Just to list the things I do use:
1. Phone (yes, some of us still use it primarily as a phone)
2. Email and text messaging
3. Calendar
4. Alarm clock
5. Web browser
6. ATT Cellular Video
7. ATT Navigator
8. Pandora
9. iheartradio
10. Regions mobile banking
That's about it. Everything else could go and, though I might use it occasionally, it would probably take several days to notice it was gone.
