Berrystore: 90+ Apps For Your Blackberry

The Berrystore BETA provides an alternative to mobile.blackberry.com for blackberry applications. Within the Berrystore, you’ll find a listing of categorized apps, along with ratings & reviews. Each app specifies whether it’s free or trial version. To use the Berrystore, type m.BerryStore.com into your Blackberry browser & start discovering the growing list of apps.

Below is a listing of some of the best apps I found from the Berrystore. I counted 90 Apps, but the listing will continue to grow as new apps are developed. I have posted each entry by reviewing the apps within the Berrystore from my Blackberry Storm. All apps that I’ve used thus far have worked very well with the Blackberry Storm.
