I was recently given a Blackberry, which is great for emails?

But i know there are alot of applications for them, and i was wondering if anyone here has found any really usefull tools? or can suggest some to me?

 

Thanks.  

Oh! OH!

 I call it "SLEDGEHAMMER".... :)

Sorry, being a Smartass... B)

I don't know of anything I have to admit, although I would like to hijack the thread a bit and ask if there is anything the blackberry does that Mobile 5/6 doesn't?  Just for my info rather than anything else..

You know, the only thing I can think of is "pinning" (Which is like a direct Blackberry Text Message).   I think it depends on the Mobile5/6 device.   I mean the software isn't an issue since with Exchange 2003/2007 you get a superior push vs Blackberry without the need for a extra BES server in the mix.     I've been some bad implementations of phones for Mobile 5 and some I would swear by.   Same with Blackberry.  I've seen some I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, and some that are very useful.  I find Mobile 5/6 (and even the older Mobile 2003's) are nice I can just add in apps easily and development is pretty open.  

I don't know if I can say the development is as nice on the blackberry for sure, but I know you can buy apps for it to.   But I think (for example MSN on Blackberry) needs some kind of license to send data through the Rim network.

Not on expert on them, I'll leave it at that but I personally like the Mobile 5/6 over the Blackberry... :)

Have you checked out www.handango.com?  There are several useful apps for the Blackberry out there.  I use the heck out of the mobile Citrix client.  Along with Texas Hold em' :)

Thanks i'll check it out.

I know you can get Remote Desktop (for TS) working. i haven't tried it yet. Thinking about it.  I know there's a VPN for it.

But i plan on that, the only thing is the small screen. But so far i will admit that it's become very handy in the past week, just for some of our sites that go down the email alerts notify me before anybody notices. 

Thanks
