10 Must-Have Free BlackBerry Applications

Blackberry phones have been very popular for a long time now, especially now with their latest Blackberry Javelin 8900, Blackberry Bold, and the Blackberry Storm. I own a Blackberry Curve 8300 and really enjoy it. It features: a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, Media Player, etc. After reading an article 10 Must-Have Free BlackBerry Apps, I've downloaded a few of these applications. One of the applications I downloaded was: iSkoot. Not only is iSkoot free, but there's no additional charge for sending and receiving calls to and from non-Skype numbers.

Twilight

Twilight a vampire/romance novel written by Stephanie Meyer. It is a story of a young girl, Isabella "Bella" Swan, who falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. There are three other novels that follow after Twilight -- New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. 

I went to watch the advance screening of Twilight on Thursday, November 20, 2008. As anticipated I was watching it, I was a bit disappointed. The best part was towards the ending of the movie. Although, the beginning was pretty funny, considering everyone in the whole theatre was laughing. But all in all, I do recommend everyone to watch it!
