Advanced Ruler is a handy app which allows you to measure stuff out by displaying the proper units and measurements on the screen and using it as a ruler.  Sure your BlackBerry screen may be small, but this app is not intended to measure out houses or large items.  Features include:

• Millimeter precision
• Automatically adapts itself to your device’s particular screen to give accurate measurements to every BlackBerry smartphone.
• Support for inches and centimeters.
• Choose from up to 4 different themes
