Blackberry Kindle App Freeware

Amazon finally released a Kindle app for the Blackberry. It took Amazon a long time but its finally here. Blackberry users can now use their phone's high resolution screen to read their Kindle books and shop at the worlds biggest collection of books available online.

Installing the Kindle app on my storm was fast and trouble free.  The screen real estate of my storm makes it a perfect electronic reader. Shopping for new books also makes me love this app even more. I can now get the latest releases instantly and keep track on the New York Times best seller list.

The Kindle for the Blackberry is a must have software just like the Audible app for the Blackberry. It instantly gives you access to a massive collection of books. Reading with my Blackberry does gives a noticeable drain in my Storm's  battery but I was able to correct this by adjusting the brightness to a lower setting.

Blackberry Paypal App Freeware

Official Blackberry Paypal App



When Ebay released their official Blackberry app, it was just common sense a Paypal would follow. You don't need to see far to the future to predict that mobile payment system is going to be big, its just a matter of time before people get use to it.
Paypal's app for the Blackberry is simple enough to use to send money, I just wish they added an invoice feature so I can request money from my customers. That would have made made this software perfect for business users. But overall its a must have app and better than using your phone's browser to access paypal.

Blackberry Ebay Auction App Freeware

Official Blackberry Ebay App Freeware



Ebay working with RIM has finally came out with an official Ebay application. Although the current release is still in BETA, overall usability of the software is really good and way better than using your browser. Using this software you have the ability to view, buy and pay for items. You can also do advance search such a limit results to certain distance to save on shipping charges.
I love the fact that everything is in real time, so I can see items as they close and even make last minute bids. I still do some auction snipping by bidding on the last few minutes with this app I can set reminders in my callender to make sure I make those bids.

Skydeck Backup Utiliy



Skydeck is a free online backup software that safely backups your address book to a remote server manage by Skydeck. This utility also can backup a copy of your SMS messages and call history.
As soon as you install Skydeck, you have to make an online account which you will then later use to access your account using your computer's browser. As soon as you sync or backup online you can edit you contacts as if you were doing it on your phone, since they update each other it makes updating your contacts easy and more comfortable.
You can turn skydeck off to save on data transfer or if you just want to backup on a specific time. Overall I love how Skydeck manages to sync properly with my Curve no errors or multiple contacts problems. I find it very easy to manage and make changes in my contacts logging into Skydeck's website.

Blackberry Vonage Client Freeware

I'm still waiting for a true VOIP service that works with the Blackberry, I was hoping Vonage would come out with a true VOIP app that would work over WIFI. Altough Vonage does not do this, its hard to deny having a Vonage app in your Blackberry is a great option. Using Vonage you can take advantage of low international calling rates and even use a pay as you go option. The sound quality is really good using Vonage to make calls, just be aware the software dials a local US number to route your calls. Having the Vonage app dial a local number is not all bad since it makes compatible with even the Blackberry phones.
