BlackBerry App World

Most new BlackBerry smartphones ship with RIM's official mobile application store, BlackBerry App World, preloaded, but any BlackBerry user with an older device or one that didn't come with App World should download this free app immediately for access to a huge collection of BlackBerry apps, games, themes and more. App World is an on-device application, but it's also available in a web-based desktop version so you can use both your BlackBerry and a PC to peruse the latest software.

Over the past few years, I've recommended hundreds of great BlackBerry apps. Every couple of weeks, I offer up reviews of new applications, and I'm always looking for the next must-have BlackBerry app, particularly the next must-have, free BlackBerry app.

In this recent compilation, you'll find descriptions and images of the 19 best BlackBerry apps I've found while combing the web for great BlackBerry software, these are the free apps that each and every new BlackBerry owner should download and familiarise themselves with just as soon as those new devices are up and running.

Keep moving for details.
