Once you’ve taken the step to form a company with The Company Warehouse, you can take advantage of our FREE Blackberry Smart phone offer and use this wonderful business tool to make the most out of your new enterprise. Take a look at the top 10 applications we recommend to help you with your business endeavours.
There are a number of applications available for download on your Blackberry smart phone that are handy tools for the modern business person. Make sure you’re getting the most out of your phone by checking out what’s available.
- Voice Notes – Already an installed application on most Blackberry phones, voice notes does what it says on the tin – allows a user to record notes using their own voice and the built in mic. If you haven’t got time to type but need to remember something important, make an important “note-to-self” for later, then this is the perfect application. Just make sure you have plenty of room on your memory card! Voice notes can be sent via e-mail or MMS and can therefore be used instead of placing a call where you wish to send important instructions to colleagues or employee’s.
- Dictionary – The Dictionary.com app is a free application which acts as a thesaurus and dictionary, supplying the user with definitions and synonyms. Includes word of the day, spelling suggestions and more. Why not improve your knowledge while you work with this free app?
- Call Time Tracker – The “Call Time Tracker” app, also a free download from the app store, allows the user to easily create a spreadsheet of their calls, according to time spent, client and more. This is perfect if you need to generate a time sheet or keep track of your phone bill.
- Language Phrase Book – Provided by Lonely Planet, these phrasebooks provide the international entrepreneur with a digital phrasebook at their finger tips. Don’t get stuck without the lingo, use your Blackberry to get out of a pickle. Each phrasebook costs around $9.99 which is about £6. Well worth the cost if you regularly have to travel abroad for business.
- Ubertwitter – Do you use Twitter to promote your business? Many people do, if you don’t you might well be missing out on potential customers. Ubertwitter is an app for Blackberry phones that allows easy tweeting, including all the relevant features. Best of all, its free!
- Expense Reporting – Another app for keeping track of expenses and recording relevant time spent on projects – Reportaway has rave reviews and is a useful tool for business people who need to keep on top of their expenses.
- Google Maps – Blackberry maps are already installed on your blackberry, but if you are after a more detailed interface offered by Google, this free app is perfect for you. Driving and walking directions are available, including a “your location” display that tells you where you are. Very handy for the business person on the move.
- RSS Feeds – If you like to keep up-to-date with the most relevant news then you want RSS feeds. Viigo provides an app packed with news update features delivering all the news that’s important to you straight to your phone.
- Photo-uploader – If part of your business includes using photographs or perhaps you have a personal passion, then this app from “itookthisonmyphone” allows you to set any photo you take on your Blackberry to automatically upload to a number of image hosting and social networking sites including Flickr, Photobucket, Facebook and more, all for free!
- TimeSheets – Time is money. Keep track of time you spend on relevant client projects with this time tracking application.
