My Top Blackberry Apps

PodTrapper - Download Podcasts over Verizon, so much nicer than a iPod but it cost real money (only app I have paid for to date)
Facebook - Does Facebook, still not as nice as the iPhone version)
QuickPull - Can actually shut the BB off or reboot on a schegual (the dark side on BB running apps in the background is sometimes it gets slow and reboot helps from closing running applications)
Google Apps - I use Maps and Google Sync (Google maps syncs mymap)
Viigo - RSS reader I love (shows update to friend blogs or website feeds) and has way more features I don't use like streaming podcast. Oh, and you can update it the web and it syncs with your BB
Vlingo - Not as good as it was (now charge for a pro account) but it replaces my voice dialer (call John) with many more options. It does an ok job translating voice into email or text messages (now limited number a month) but is pretty slow. Only options when you're driving and want to be 'safe'
Sametime - Hey, it's the IM we use at work so don't make fun of me (I use Yahoo IM once and a while)

Sometime used
Amazon - check prices when I'm in a store and leverage my prime account to get it in 2 days
Audible - streaming audio book but it's to choppy so I only use it for buying the books and still use my iPod for listening
Opera Mini - nice browser but I stick to a pearl BB for size so I only use it when I want to see a website the built in browser butches
BB App world - don't think this really counts as a app but if you have an older BB you should grab it
