What are the must-have apps and accessories?

I'm thinking the Seidio regular-sized extended battery. I had the Q9c with the extended battery and loved the long-life battery but hated the thick profile so I'm not going for the thick Seidio battery.

As far as apps... I'm new to Blackberry so have no idea what I need to get.

I am in meetings all day on Monday and Wednesday so I loaded the profile scheduler to automatically switch to vibrate daily.

I love the Craysoft Frutakia game so I loaded that.

Must have apps for me on a BB:


BB Weather
JiveTalk
Spider Solitaire (Very Addictive)
Google Maps
Boston Red Sox Launcher
Pinstack BB Forum Launcher
Viigo (An RSS reader)
Crackberry Launcher


Thats what I've put on there so far. I am still looking around to see what apps I missed out on since my 8703e didn't support a lot of the newer stuff.

I would also suggest a memory cleaner. See this post on Pinstack for more details: http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/showpost.php?p=26988&postcount=2

I have become accustomed to using WeatherPanel on my Mogul and have been looking at the available weather programs for Blackberries. I know alot of people love BB Weather, but I need to have radar maps. Does BB Weather do that? I haven't been able to find anything saying it does or doesn't.

Also, have you used WeatherBug or the Weather Channels offering? I was going to pay for WeatherBug...

I have not used either one of those. I didnt have a need for radar maps so I didnt research any. I do know that weather bug and weather channel offer a free trial period.

Anyone ever try or interested in the Seidio 2600mAh Extended Battery? I am thinking about getting it b/c I have always bought extended batteries for my phones. I just wonder if they will make a case that will compensate for the larger size.

Here is the link:

You can get the same holster from Amazon for around $11 shipped. As far as BSE skin goes, they don't have the skin for 8330 yet, and skins cut for 8300/8310/8320 won't fit very well since the body of 8330 is slightly different.

the invisibleSHIELD is now available for the curve. I bought one of these for my iPod which I love. Rather pricey but it protects well.

that seido regular-sized extended battery looks great but for me i start to wind down the recharge ability of the batttery about six months of use...as long as i can go with a full 12 hours or so of heavy use and not have to recharge im good and at the beginning with a new battery you shouldnt have those problems..

i really want that battery but cant justify paying 50 bucks for it now when this battery is perfect condition.

Where is the best place to get good themes? There are several that come up while searching google. Which are the best?
