Free BlackBerry apps: Nine Torch 9800 compatible downloads

CIO.com's BlackBerry watcher Al Sacco rounds up nine valuable, free BlackBerry apps that'll run on RIM's brand new BlackBerry Torch 9800 slider smartphone.

You’ve got your brand new BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone in hand. All your contacts are transferred, wallpaper customized, your various e-mail addresses set up.

You’re ready to start loading all your favorite BlackBerry applications...but you find that many aren’t yet compatible with the Torch — or at least you can't download them from BlackBerry App World or the vendors’ sites.

It’s true, lots of quality BlackBerry apps are not yet available for RIM’s latest and greatest: Pandora for BlackBerry; Amazon’s Kindle app; LinkedIn for BlackBerry; the list goes on. But I was able to find a handful of great apps that are available. Check out the following slides for a list of nine valuable applications for the BlackBerry Torch 9800. Best of all: You’ll never have to open your wallet; all of these BlackBerry apps are free.
