Movies BlackBerry App Released! Did it Crack This Week’s Top 10 Free BlackBerry Apps?

Time for another installment of the Top 10 Free BlackBerry Apps! Each week, I utilize BlackBerry App World and compile the top 10 free BlackBerry Apps, based on total number of downloads. Last week’s Top 10 was the same old song as #1 Pandora and #2 BlackBerry Messenger again dominated the list.  #3 The Weather Channel made a strong showing, as did #4 BuzzMe. A recent staple in the top 5, #5 Drive Safe.ly rounded out the top 5.

This week, we have one brand new Apps, Movies, jump to the top of the list at #2.  No other surprises in the top 5, but take note of a couple version upgrades. BlackBerry Messenger again dominates and Pandora is still sniffing the top spot. The  Top 10 Free BlackBerry Apps are as of 21 November 2009. Be sure to check back next Saturday to see which Apps make the cut. This is an excerpt, but to read the entire list, visit BlackBerry Enthusiast.
