16 Best Business BlackBerry Applications

16 Best Business BlackBerry Applications

Here's our list of the 16 best business BlackBerry applications (five stars on BlackBerry AppWorld and/or received rave reviews elsewhere):

1. WorldMate Live
Travel application.


This is an all-in-one application for the business traveller and has had excellent reviews. It includes automatic itineraries, maps and navigation, smart hotel search, calendar synch, weather forecasts and currency conversion.

The Gold (paid) version adds automatic alerts when flights are delayed and cancelled, real-time flight status for over 350 airlines, one-click access to flight schedules, travel directory with airline, airport, hotel and phone info, and Outlook integration as a free add-on.

2. Tetherberry
Uses your BlackBerry to access the Internet


TetherBerry allows your PC to take advantage of your Blackberry's data plan, allowing you to access the Internet on your laptop anywhere there is cellular coverage from your BlackBerry.

3. Google Mobile Updater for BlackBerry
Lets you install Google Apps


If you ever wondered how to synchronize your BlackBerry with Google mail or Google calendar, look no further. Google Mobile Updater is a Google programme that lets you install Google Docs, Gmail, Maps, News, Picasa, Reader, Search, and Sync (you can choose which ones you want). The Sync app (not surprisingly) is the one that synchronizes contacts and calendar. (Read Google's warnings before you download it, and back up first.)

4. PayTech Pay Pocket
Turns your BlackBerry into a mobile (POS) Point of Sale


Allows you to accept credit cards and electronic checks, send email receipts and see all reports online 24/7 in real time.

5. My Caption Email Dictation
Voice-to-text application


If you dislike typing with your thumbs, however opposable, try this very cool voice-to-text application. It synchronizes with emails, calendar, note, memo and task entries in Outlook, Google Apps and Lotus notes, and works with the BES. You can review text before sending. It’s accurate and secure, and has had very good reviews.

6. CallNotes
Task management & calendar application

Lets you add call notes, tasks or appointments to the Calendar application. Synchronizes with Outlook.

7. Salesforce Mobile
Mobile access to Salesforce.


Mobile version of the popular Salesforce software.

8. Opera Mini 4.2

Mobile Web browser that improves on the BlackBerry's built-in Web interface.

9. RDM Plus: Remote Desktop for Mobiles

10. BlackBerry Database Viewer Plus

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
