UPDATED! Blackberry Killer Software & Utilities Thread

[cpegado]

I am looking for a BB application that like the CHOLESTEROL TRACKER on the PPC? ANything out there that allows one to track yearly cholesterol readings?

And what about an application for travelers such as POCKET TRAVEL also on the PPC? When planning a trip, I am trying to enter details such as hotel/plane/car rentals, etc..

Sorry about using the PPC as a reference, but I just migrated and am trying to figure out what is there that I can use to substitute what I add.

Any help/suggestions will be most welcome!

THanks,
CP

Other applications worth adding:

Best IRC Client for Blackberry (to date):

jmIrc - Java mobile IRC-client (J2ME)

Up and coming 'killer app' - FREE ssh/telnet:

MidpSSH | SSH and Telnet client for Mobile devices (MIDP/J2ME)

MidpSSH is PHAT--thanks for this one!

I have tried both VNC (free) and Remote Desktop for Mobiles($29.95) and there is no comparison. VNC is free and offers no security or encryption, a risk to anyone sniffing.

Not if your'e using BES; unless you dont trust your enterprise infrastructure...

Can someone help me?
I'm staring bleary eyed at my new 8707v and all it's accompanying bits and have succeeded in downloading free pocketmac software. come as far as registration but can't find the required serial number anywhere. have emailed support but can anyone help?
also, would i benefit substantially from upgrading to Pro Plus (not the stay awake medicine, though it would help) the software upgrade, not free.

ohmygod, can anyone help me. I need to get this figured out right noiw.

thanks

Hi newbie here, I read this post by funkym

Hello,

my favorite Software on my 7290 is a GPS tool called "Spot". It's a commercial one, I know, but who cares. If Software is good I am willed to pay for

So anyone who's interested: Spot

however I've not been so lucky with SPOT on my Nextel 7520 as I get position but no map and a "WMS error". There are a bunch of error mssages but I can't get to them all before the Demo version I'm running times out...
I'm waiting to hear back from "Skylab"

[eap]

BTW - is there a better place to post GPS related queries?

I was wondering the same thing! I want the Gmail App on my BB but can't find a way to download it sisnce I don't have a functioning BB Browser, I access the internet through OperaMini since I don't have BES or BIS :(

Is There Software Out There Where You Can Get Caller Id From Calls That Aren't In Your Phone Book Like You Would Receive On Your Landline Phone?

Just loaded BBweather & BB corrector on my new 8703 - getting the error: couldnot find a service book entry for IPPP. Hmmm, what to do?

1) Did you "Disable MDS Proxy" option?
2) Have you set your TCP APN for your particular service provider?

[patrick]

thanks.....

Did not have this problem with older version of WorldMate.

Any ideas?

just a thought...
i've never actually looked at an 8700 but if there is a hot key of any kind (one that you can assign an application to) then you might want to see if you can change this key to WorldMate. This is what I did when the link to my browser dissapeared. after assigning it, the button came back. sry if this is no help, im a n00b

[fuzzynumpkin]

I just installed "quick compose" which looks like a wonderful program. It appears that any message I sent through the application are "text messages" not regular e-mail. Correct?

[slava888]

Does anyone know of any tool to monitor your GPRS traffic?
I can't afford the expensive plans and I am constantly going over my allowable limit.
Specifically, i am interested to know how big are the periodical updates for the BBWeather program.

Thanks guys.

I'm having some trouble with the BBToday program; the weather and stock ticker says "could not open tunnel- failed". Can someone provide some suggestions? Much appreciated!

[kchung]

Nevermind, I found out the tmobile apn, but I'm having some trouble changing the weather's zipcode.

[kchung]

Nevermind, got it out haha I'm such a NOOB!!

[CableGuy711]

I must be missing something but is there a quick and easy way to get a city's zipcode from the blackberry?

I try google from my phone but it didnt seem very easy, (maybe im not wording my search properly)

maybe a site or something someone can point me to?

On the BBweather app, I am getting the "Error: could not open tunnel - failed" I set the APN to "blackberry.net", (as it says under host routing table) but when I enter it, it says "bad DNS address"...am i missing a key step?

Does anyone know if BB weather displays foreign weather? I.E. Cancun, Mexico?

If so how?

Yes it does simply go here and input the place you want, it'll give you a code you input into the program.
