I’ve just installed Blackberry App World on my Bold, and thought I’d do a review of what’s installed so far.
Most of these were before installing App World, so good that BB / RIM have made it easier to find appropriate apps.
Doing the individual links to all these apps would take ages, so I’m afraid you’ll have to Google them… :$
- Twitter
- Twitterberry – serviceable, lacking functionality
- Twibble – nice look & feel, but usability & functionality are pretty poor
- Tiny Twitter – probably the best of the lot, but doesn’t seem to work in the UK properly (worked in the US when I was in Texas recently…)
- Google
- Mobile App – search
- Maps, including Latitude – excellent
- Sync – for sync’ing calendar with desktop
- Facebook – came already installed
- WorldMate Live – great if you’re a frequent traveller: trial version was great when I went to Texas
- BBPlacemarks app for Brightkite, could do with a bit of extra functionality
- Amazon App for Blackberry – good, would be even better if I had the option to use it with Amazon.co.uk
- Opera browser – useful when Blackberry browser doesn’t cut it
- Flickr app
- Remember the Milk
- Blackberry App World
- Bloomberg
- Shazam
- NeoReader
- Use the camera on my Bold to photograph barcodes and the new square ones – and turn that into something meaningful
- Can’t get it to work properly, but fantastic idea
- Vodafone SatNav
- Not bad, but sometimes takes wacky options
Since compiling this list yesterday, I found that all the system memory was taken, and therefore the Bold was running slow all the time.
I’ve therefore uninstalled Bloomberg, Shazam, and NeoReader [I think], to free up enough space.
It would be good to be able to install the apps on my micro SD card – which is 8Gb.
