By demand of developers, RIM has put out some sample codes that are fully functional and can be used by developers.  The two samples put out are for RSS reader and a weather application.  Here’s the full description from the BlackBerry Developer’s Blog:

The RSS application allows you to set any RSS feed you’d like and pull down the content on the fly. It lets you manage those RSS feeds in an easy-to-use UI, and it stores your feeds for you so they’ll always be ready when you are. This sample app demonstrates the use of a great UI, tight integration with other apps (BlackBerry Browser and Messaging applications), GPS, and integration into the BlackBerry Menu as well as how to go out over the network to retrieve and use content effectively.

The Weather application really demonstrates the blending of a fantastic UI with functionality. I have to say that this one really looks great, and is so easy to use! This sample app also shows off the use of a great UI, File I/O, GPS, and solid integration into the BlackBerry Menu. (Note that both of these apps were designed for use on the 5.0 OS.)

So no BlackBerry 6 compatibility here, but it’s some nice code you developers can peak into and play around with or even implement into your own apps.
