There was a great thread about iPhone apps on here a couple of weeks ago.  I want to hear from all you BB users!
I can't imagine life without my BB.  Sad isn't it, how fast we become spoiled with technology!?

What are your must have apps? What kind do you have?

Mine is a Curve 8330 and I love it.  I've kind of turned into a theme fiend; changing about every 2 weeks or so. 
My hands down favorite app is BeWeather.  Excellent!  Pandora is a close second.  Any of you have BeBuzz? Was thinking of downloading it, but not sure if it's worth the $6.  Any opinions?

How do I feel about it, it's my BBrains--can't remember a thing unless it's in the calendar [even where in the building garage I park my car every day :D], contacts, memos--it's my "toute, toute".  I don't have any apps, except for Twitter, and Yellow Pages and the browser that isn't too good frankly, the free stuff, since it's a company machine. 
I fought for years to avoid carrying this thing and now, it's one of those "from my cold dead hands" sort of things.  Being "out of touch" frightens me. 

The only thing I don't like is the service provided by ATT, but that's a company choice, I have to carry my personal Verizon cell to be sure I catch everything! 
We have some of the tech guys who also carry iPhones, but they start looking for a plug the minute we land in any intermediate stop on trips.  The iPhone batteries, e-mail server issue that prevents immediate e-mail, and the ATT issue prevent it from becoming the standard.

My BB is on Verizon and I can't really imagine life without it.  Verizon has never left me stranded, so I'm pretty happy. 

Yes, the browser is a little iffy, but the pros outweigh the cons.  Since we don't have a home phone, my BB is never out of arms reach.  It even sleeps on the night stand charger right beside me!  ;D

I also have the BB curve, and while helpful I don't like it even close to as much as I did my GzOne and it really pales to the pre - GzOne edition "military spec" phone I had.  I'm not that easy on phones and both of these lasted incredibly well.  The BB is like carrying a glass slipper for me.  I don't think I'll keep it more than a year, as soon as I can switch my contract back I think I will reactivate my Gz again.  After 2 months the BB's 'w' doesn't always work and the rollerball needs changed.  I don't use half the apps on it.  All it is to me is a walking e-mail box which is nice but not necessary.

Should have known better I guess.
