BlackBerry really seems to have the smallest selection of apps out there. So far I've only been able to find two apps relevant to hams: SATme ( http://www.k0sm.com/_mgxroot/page_10731.html) and BBScanner ( http://www.bbscanner.com/). BBScanner is really only an RSS feed app that specializes in streaming audio from scanner sites while SATme is a Satellite tracking app.
Honestly imo, Android is the way to go. The devices are faster, more capable, and have vastly larger & more organized market place for apps. ~73, KC2WQW On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 6:51 PM, Dee <[email protected]> wrote: > Scott, > If you go to the AMSAT website and follow down the listings on the left > side > of the site, you will find a Question Mark (?) and if you click on that you > will find many reams of getting started information.
