Small Business Tech Tips

Here’s a quick – yet extremely helpful – rundown of some of Blackberry’s most popular Apps:

Blackberry AppWorld – Need an app? Get it here. Install this and save it on your main screen for easy accessibility

TwitterBerry – On the go tweeting to your Twitter account; also check who you’re following

Facebook Blackberry – Mobile version of Facebook. Update your status, send pictures to your profile, send messages to friends, etc.

Pandora – Free music. However, most Blackberry’s already have Slacker Radio.

Google Maps – Tells you where you are within 1000-2000 meters; get directions and more

Google Talk – Google’s chat application

Yahoo Chat – Yahoo’s chat application

Shazam – Don’t know song artist or title? Have Shazam take a listen and let you know

QuickPull – Don’t want to pull your battery to do a hard reset? Run QuickPull instead

Flickr – Yahoo’s photo sharing application; includes geotagging. Post pictures to your online flickr account.

Tips:

• When you X out of an app, it doesn’t necessarily close the app entirely. To prevent frequent reboots, use your blackberry button to choose Close and properly terminate apps when you’re done, or Switch Application to go back and forth.
• Hit the space bar to page down in long docs, screens, etc.
• Hit T in most apps to go back up to the top of the screen.
• Hold down the Mute button on the top of the phone to put it into Standby. Hit Mute again to take it out of Standby. Standby preserves battery and keeps you from butt-calling someone.
• You have a downloads folder on the main screen. If you’re trying to download an app, it may show up here. To move it to the main screen, choose Move to Folder and select the Home folder.
