The best free Blackberry apps

1) Blackberry Messenger

Blackberry messenger, or BBM for short, is the Blackberry’s best way to stay in touch with your friends and family. Some Blackberry’s come with BBM built in but for others, it will have to be downloaded. BBM can be placed on your home screen. You can set ring tones, “ping” tones and anything else to keep in touch with your friends on the go quickly and easily.

2) Ping Chat

Ping Chat is very similar to Blackberry Messenger. It is a free instant messaging program for smart phones. This one is very useful if you have friends who have other smart phones such as the iPhone. Ping Chat is basically BBM but for a multi-range of smart phones meaning your instant messaging chats are not limited solely to your device. Get all of your mates on Ping Chat and have a Ping Chat party!

3) Windows Live Messenger

Windows Live Messenger is one of the most popular instant messaging programs of all times. Formerly known as MSN Messenger, the Hotmail provider can be bought to your Blackberry device for free. Simply download, sign in with your e-mail and password lkike you would on the PC and you get instant access to all of your contacts and even your e-mail. It really is as easy as that.

4) Facebook

The Facebook App is always one of the Blackberry’s most downloaded. If you click the “remember me” option, the app will keep you signed in literally forever meaning you can get access to your wall, messages and profile with the click of a single button. This lets you keep in touch with your friends whenever you want, it lets you post status updates whenever you want and if texting or BBM is not an option, Facebook can be your communication saviour.

5) Twitter

Twitter is essentially no different to being on a PC. You are still limited to a text message long message, but it can be a great way to keep in touch on the go and showcase your updates to the world. The Twitter app is especially good for businesses and freelance writers as you can post your latest articles, blogs, videos or anything directly to Twitter via the app for quick and easy publication and enhanced placement in the search engines, thus enhancing the SEO of your work instantly.

The best free Blackberry games

1) Absolute Tris

Absolute Tris is a free version of Tetris. The game is a viable Tetris clone which as the name suggests, is pretty much identical to its Tetris forefathers. There is nothing very fancy about Absolute Tris but it is completely free, it keeps track of all of your highest scores with the ability to name the person that got it and you can even share your scores with friends via connection. Absolute Tris is one of the best and most addictive free Blackberry games out there by a long shot.

2) Snake

Snake is a legendary title made famous on mobile devices so many years ago. Vintage cell phone lovers may remember it as being the best way to pass time on the Nokia 3210 and 3330 mobile devices. Well, along with the ability to make your own crazy ringtones. Snake makes its free return on the Blackberry as a free app game. You can run through walls but you cannot hit yourself or the blocks in the centre of the screen.

3) Ice Cubes

Ice Cubes is a fun light bulb game in which there are several lit up ice cubes in the centre of the screen. If you press one of these ice cubes, that light will go off but the four lights surrounding it will be switched on. The aim of the game is basically to switch off all the lights in as little clicks as a time. This fun, brain teasing style puzzle game is very charming, very cute and the sounds and its gameplay will keep you hooked for hours.

4) Copter

Copter is just stupidly addictive for no apparent reason. You control a crashing helicopter and you have to go as far as you can throughout the level. You have to make it rise to avoid blocks and boulders, let it falls to avoid blocks and boulders and that is all there is to it really. However, it is incredibly addictive and when raised to the maximum difficulty, it can become incredibly competitive.

5) FallDown

FallDown is yet another incredibly simple yet addictive game. You will probably see a lot of similar ones when exploring the BB App World but this 5 star title is arguably its finest and yet its simplest. Basically, you control a ball and you have to fall from platform to platform through holes in the ground before the ceiling topples on you. As you progress to the next level, the ceiling falls faster meaning you have to implement speed and strategy and sheer luck to guess the right hole. FallDown is just crazily addictive.
