Ok guys, as i said I'd provide in the blackberry sections, so i will. Now this is only the start so bear with me as I am OCD and like to keep the posts nice, clean, and easy to read/understand.
Again, this is only the begining and there are many more apps that I already have but just do not have the time to post at this moment. I will be updating the original post to include as many as possible over time.
If you have any apps that you feel should be posted here, please feel free to let me know, and if I deem it worthy after I have tested it, I will certianly add it. (by deem worthy I mean it's either not a repeat and that it's safe for a blackberry device)
While the vast majority of these are 3rd party and I will stand by them in that i have personally used each and every one at least for a few days in order to make certian it will not mess your phone up.
I have included DL LINKS as well as OTA links for most here, I suggest using desktop manager 4.7 for DL LINKS if you do not want to dl directly to your bb.
