Blackberry

I have a Blackberry for work and I rarely use it. Does anyone have any recommendations on applications or themes worth downloading for Blackberry's? It's a model 8703e.

Opera for browsing to start.

Tiny Twitter is a great little app.

Check out crackberry.com for themes. I have a sweet Half-life 2 theme.

Remember any MP3 can be used as a ringtone. I have the John Williams Superman score.

I love my blackberry, but I hate paying for apps (go figure)...so mine is pretty vanilla. I'd love suggestions too :)

I love my Curve. It's such a fantastic phone, probably the best I've ever had. I use this theme that is entirely hand drawn called Scribble. Really really classy.

My work Blackberry (Curve) uses one of the Bold based themes and it is pretty nice I think.

Hey guys I'm contemplating getting a RIM Blackberry Bold 9000 and upgrading from my Sony Ericsson w810i. I was wondering if it's worth getting it on a 3 year contract for $99 bucks (special promo offered to me cause I guess i'm white glove)?? The iPhone 3G looks nice but i'm not really ready for a touch screen phone yet plus it's a lot more expensive then what they are offering. I love my little Sony but it's a little long in the tooth, and I wanna try a smart phone.

Oh and in case you are wondering about the 3 year thing. See the carrier i'm with is Rogers which is a Canadian CDMA carrier (I hate Bell even though Rogers sucks, and Telus has no good deals) and they like to rip us off with cheap frills and so ya a 3 year is the dealmaker or breaker. I'm probably looking upwards of $200 on a two year contract. How is it compared to like an 8320, the Curve 8900 or Nokia E71 (I like the spec's on this one but kinda meh looking)? Any suggestions would be great. The reviews for it on phonearena.com look promising. I just wanna know if it's worth it for 3 years.

my cousin has the bold and let me tell you it's a lot quicker than my pearl is. Like sickenly quick. If you want to have email on the go, Blackberry is great. If you want games/apps and such...you need to look at the iPhone or a windows-based phone.

edit: as for the three year thing. Just check and make see what your trade up policies are. phones aren't usually good for more than 2 years...so keep that in mind.
