Best Productivity Apps For BlackBerry

BlackBerry phones and smart busy executives seem to go hand-in-hand. So it only makes sense for these busy executives to have the best applications made for BlackBerry; applications that enhances ones productivity and helps one keep organized.


With the hundreds of thousands of applications on the market these days, where does one even start? First, make a list of ways your life could become more organized or how you could consolidate everything you need into your phone. If you have calendars on your desk, emails on your computer, and contacts on your phone, then you should be bringing these all together in your BlackBerry.



Next, what types of tools do you need to manage your time outside of the office? Do you travel a lot? Do you have events you have to attend and of which you need to be reminded of. What about grocery lists?


Here are a few of the best productivity applications that can help you get more organized:


1. Evernote – This app helps you take everything from your mobile life, to meetings, to ideas and travel, and then consolidates it for review on your computer. The company states that Evernote helps one easily search for notes created on your desktop, web or BlackBerry. All of your notes or "memories" are in one place and available when you need them. Once you get used to using Evernote you realize that it can be an extension of your brain. See something you like, use your BlackBerry to take a photo of it and store it in Evernote. Think of an idea during a meeting or while driving, record it into Evernote.

2. NotNow – We all get hundreds of phone calls and don't have time to take them all and yet we don't want our caller to think we are ignoring them. How do you organize all of these incoming calls without losing touch with the caller? NotNow can help you ignore calls but let the caller know by text message that you received their message. You can even let your caller know when you can call them back. Messages are predesigned or you can customize them. When a call comes in, press Ignore and a series of text messages will appear of which you select which one to send to the caller. Messages can include "Call Me At Home", "I'm In A Meeting" or whatever tailored message you want.



3. CallNote 1.1 –This software helps you take notes after a phone call is made. After you finish a call, CallNote pops up a screen so that you can either take notes, assign a task, or follow-up it up. CallNote can be tied into your calendar so that appointments are placed within it. All CallNote results can be embedded into Outlook under tasks, dates, etc.



4. Adorno! MultiAlarm Pro – this alarm clock software helps you stay on schedule. You can choose from three alarm sounds and six alarm volume settings to remind you of meetings up to 15 minutes in advance to even weeks. This software is helpful if you aren't somebody who has time to review your calendar frequently or get busy in the middle of a project and need a reminder.



5. WorldMate Live – This application is great for travelers. It stores and organizes your itineraries such as flight and airline info, hotel reservations, car rentals, meeting locales and more. If you need to find a hotel when traveling or convert foreign currencies, this app will help you out. The app also includes a world clock and a locator and mapping system.



These five applications only represent a small handful of the amazing types of apps you too can download on your BlackBerry to help you become more organized.
