by Geekboy on 2 December, 2009

Got yourself a new Blackberry? Doesn’t matter you have the Blackberry Bold, Storm or Curve, they all need apps (short for applications).

My favourites are World Mate, UberTwitter, Facebook, Gmail, Google Maps and Opera Mini.

I’m going to try out Bolt which they say it’s the best browser on the Blackberry platform.
