Free Apps for Blackberry Storm

I've been thinking for a while about posting a listing of favorite apps for my Blackberry Storm.  Enough procrastinating...here it is:

1.  Gmail - If you use Gmail, then this is the mobile mail client for you.  It had HTML e-mail before the standard Blackberry mail client did.  It allows aggregation of multiple addresses and makes use of my favorite Gmail feature:  labels.

2.  SocialScope - I had been using TwitterBerry as a Twitter client for some time and had abandoned the Facebook app some time before.  That was when I discovered SocialScope (currently in private Alpha).  I requested an invite and received an immediate response.  This app allows me to update my status on social networks as well as follow my friends.  I know, lots of apps do this...but this app has a wonderfully pleasant (and intuitive) interface, and what's more it is fast.  If trying this on the Storm, be sure to disable compatability mode.

3.  VyMail - Visual Voicemail.  This is awesome.  It sits on top of the YouMail service and provides an interface for retrieving voicemail.  The app notifies you of voicemail, but more importantly, it provides important details about the message.  Also, the message can be retrieved with a click (no dialing voicemail anymore!!).

To be continued...
