BlackBerry App World

You already know that you can easily take screenshots on your iPhone with just a few clicks, but taking a screenshot on your BlackBerry may prove to be a little more difficult . . . without an app that is. With Screenshot (pretty easy to remember, right?) you can take screenshots on your BlackBerry to back up messages, phone numbers, texts, or whatever you may need.

Screenshot is simple to use since you can assign a key to act as your own personal shutter switch to capture whatever is on your screen. Although the iPhone screenshot tip was free and came as a built in feature for the iPhone, the app is not as wallet friendly as free: it comes in at $3.

You know the bright light that flashes on the back of your BlackBerry Bold, Curve, or Tour whenever you take a photo or video footage? Well this light can actually be used for more than just a camera flash — it can be used as a flashlight thanks to this BlackBerry App!

The Flashlight One Touch uses your phone's video camera (without the recording turned on) and the light on the back of your phone to provide you with a handy flashlight. Once you download the app — which you can take for a trial run for free, or pay $3 for the full version — just open your video camera, click on the menu button and choose options. Then set "Video Light" to on and your light will always work when you open the video camera. To turn off the flashlight, just hit the back (or escape) key.

Also, turn off the Auto-Dim setting (in options). . . this does not affect your back light from going out.

I have a new favorite BlackBerry app that I definitely would have included in my 12 Free Must Have Apps For the BlackBerry roundup if I hadn't just discovered it until now!

We've all been there — meetings, during work, dinner dates — you know, those times when you can't always answer your phone and you need to silence a call immediately? With the Call You Back App for the BlackBerry, you can ignore your calls and it will send a text message to the person calling to let them know that you're at work, sleeping, watching a movie, etc.

It's completely free and you can add any custom SMS that will be sent to the caller whenever you're busy.
