While I'm stuck in my contract and eagerly awaiting the time when I can get a Nokia N900 running Maemo 5 or perhaps an Android phone, I have to make due with my Blackberry Curve. Which isn't a bad phone (despite the radiation) but it is a very closed and proprietary little beast unfortunately.So, if you (or someone you know) happen to also be using a Blackberry and are looking for some really useful apps to keep you connected, here's some I recommend:
1.) Opera Mini is the little dynamo web browser that beats the pants off the Blackberry browser, and you can subscribe to and manage RSS feeds in it too! A much better and faster mobile surfing experience. (free)

2.) BeejiveIM lets you simultaneously IM on AIM®, iChat®, MobileMe®, MSN®/Windows Live®, Yahoo!®, MySpace, GoogleTalk®, ICQ®, Jabber, and Facebook IM all from a single application. It auto reconnects if your connection is dropped, it's reliable, and is wifi support with wifi enabled phones! (30 day free trial, $9.99 for a license)

3.) ÜberTwitter is a powerhouse Twitter client for Blackberry that is loaded with features and is easy to setup and use. If you are a Twitter addict, or use Twitter to update your other synced social networking accounts, then you have to get ÜberTwitter! (free)

4.) Google Mobile App gets you into Gmail, Reader, News, Picasa, Calender, Maps and more! Easy to use and clean interface that brings the best of Google quickly and easily to your phone. (free)

5.) Pandora gives you endless music without having to take up all your storage space, this Blackberry app works great and is a must have for music lovers. (free)

Pandora, Google Mobile App, Beejive and Opera Mini are also available for other brands of phones too.
Ok, now just try not to wear your fingers down to the bone typing
