5.) UberTwitter

How could we forget all about Twitter? As Twitter has been around for years and years, it has become very popular this past year with all the celebrities “tweeting” away and just the bare simplicity of it. UberTwitter is an incredible Twitter application for BlackBerry that is absolutely free. It is currently the most popular over all the others at the moment due to its responsiveness and simple look it gives. The application is being offered both free and premium. The premium version gives you no ads in the application whatsoever, but if you ask me, the free version is great and does not bother many.
