BlackBerry certainly has it's evangelists, and we have already looked at some 10 must-have BlackBerry programs plus 6 apps that web workers love. We found more apps, this time FREE that need to be on your phone according to BBGeeks and CIO.

Internet Browsing & Search
1. Opera Mini. A Better Way to Browse. Period.
2. Google Maps. I prefer Live Search Mobile myself, but some people haven't yet seen the light.
3. Beyond 411. This can also add searches directly to your address book.
4. Yahoo oneSearch with Voice. Tell it what you would like and it will listen and give you the results you seek.
5. Tellme. Say what you want and hear the results including latest on traffic, weather, and more

Utilities


6. BBScreenStream. A small tool to constantly capture the screen and display and/ or record it on the PC - like a video. (seems to be issues with some Blackberry versions).
   
7. BBScreenShooter. Image capture software.
   
8. Auto Lock and Soft-Reset. Two programs that lock your BB once the backlight fades out and allows a soft-reset without having to take the battery out (doesn't work on OS 4).
   
9. Avvenu. Remote access to files on your computer from your BlackBerry.

Money & Finance


10. Stock Viewer. Keeps track of your investments.
    
11. JabpLite BlackBerry Personal Money Manager. You have to love the intuitive software titles.

Portals, News & Readers


12. Yahoo! Go 3.0. Seriously sweet. Access to email, flickr and now with widgets like myspace, eBay and MTV.
    
13. Handmark Pocket Express. This is an all-in-one portal, giving you free access to news, sports, weather, business, and more.
    
14. Google Mobile Updater. Puts all Google services at your fingertips including Gmail, Google Sync (which lets you sync Google Calendar with your BlackBerry), Google Reader, a mobile RSS reader and more.
    
15. MobiPocket Reader. For those who enjoy reading books on their phone (I am not one of them).
    
16. Viigo RSS Reader.

Travel & Weather.


17. WorldMate Live. Personal Travel Assistant and Weather app. The free version rocks but is missing some key features - like flight status updates and flight schedules.
    
18. BlackBerry Weather Push. Via the BlackBerry mobile site. (Seems some people are having issues with this though not downloading properly and freezing).

Social


19. Twitterberry and TinyTwitter. Both are good Twitterclients (Twitter is rapidly becoming an addiction for many).

Media Player.


20. xPlayer.

More


21. gWhiz. An integrated suite of mobile learning tools. So far there is gGlash, a trivia flashcard program and gCalc, which converts your BlackBerry into a university level graphing calculator.
22. GridMagic Community Edition. An advanced spreadsheet application which lets you edit spreadsheets and more.
