I haven't seen any concise post with a listing of free software a user may have found or wants to know if others have any experience with. Perhaps this could be the first? I hope I haven't repeated something already here that I can't find for some unknown reason. I also do not intend to step on the EB Free software section. Note that I am mostly listing things found by search and have not personally tested yet. Some are of interest and others I thought may be of interest to others. That said, here goes:

-Handmark I just installed Blackjack and I keep waiting to see a "Your Trial Has Ended". I didn't see any notes about expiring but hey, all those printed term are so small...NOTE that the link is from your device. Same as the "Free Games" link from the BB standard homepage under "Games". So far so good. Good to have a Brickbreaker option.

-bPhone for BlackBerry - shown to me by user hnsimpson (thanks) Great change to the look and although freeware I am very impressed. I just had to insert a black background for the full effect.

-BlackBerryFreeware has some interesting items, especially Rove, a file manager. Hopefully as useful as FileZ on the old Treo. I will probably try this one over the weekend.

-Beyond411 appears to be popular.

All for now...

Where.com Similar to Live Search BUT INCLUDES A GAS WIDGET. I am on Ohio and will test on the way to the airport for the rental refill. For an OTA install, go to mobile.blackberry.com > Applications >Travel & Mapping > Where. The GasBuddy widget was included by default.
