Post your favorite apps, and why.
Currently, I have a BlackBerry Storm 2 and a BlackBerry Torch 9800.
My favorite apps are:
App: BlackBerry Travel (or WorldMate for iPhone and Android users)
Best practice: Make a reservation (e.g., flight, car rental, hotel stay) and have the confirmation emailed to the email address on your device. BlackBerry Travel will automatically scan your emails for new reservations and add it to your calendar.
Benefit(s): If your gate changes or your flight is delayed, push notifications will automatically be sent to your device notifying you of any changes. You can also make reservations (hotels, car rental, flights) directly from your device, check local weather forecasts, and comes with a built-in currency converter and world clock features.
App: Gmail, Google Sync
Best practice: Since Gmail is really the only email client one should ever use [for personal usage], users can access their personal emails directly from their phone. Google Sync will allow users to synchronize their Gmail account between the user's computer & phone.
Benefit(s): If you read & delete an email from your mobile device, it won't appear in your inbox when you access Gmail the next time from your computer. Also sync's your Contacts so if you add a new Contact via the computer, it will then appear in your Contacts on your mobile device, and vice-versa.
App: Google Maps and/or Google Earth
Best practice: Never carry a paper map again.
Benefit(s): Updates your location automatically as you move.
App: YouTube
Best practice: Watch all your favorite video clips
Benefit(s): Millions of videos right in your pocket.

Benefit(s): View and edit your documents and spreadsheets from anywhere and at any time.
