Blogging From the Blackberry?

As you know, I still have a Blackberry as my phone. I can’t get a 3G iPhone until my T-Mobile contract expires next year, so I opted for an iPod Touch instead. Since I’m stuck using the BBerry when wi-fi isn’t available, I’m interested in finding apps that can do what the iPhone/iPod Touch can do. Although they don’t even come close in terms of usability, speed, and sheer glamour, there are a few apps that get me through the wi-fi dead spots. I’ve already got a flickr app for my blackberry, a Facebook Blackberry app, a new-and-improved Twitterberry client, and a funky browser from Zumobi.

Recently, I came across an app called BBMetaBlog. Although designed for Lotus Domino, it apparently works with WordPress or Movable Type (or any blog that uses the MetaWeblog API). I haven’t tried it out yet, but I think I’ll install it in case I get the urge to tap out my thoughts on the tiny keyboard of my Pearl. It’s worth noting that other blogging platforms offer Blackberry apps, too - there’s the TypePad Mobile BlackBerry app and Blogger for BlackBerry for those that use Google’s blogging system. However, for the 90% of the tech world that already switched to iPhone, the WordPress iPhone app is the tool to have. Now, if only we had a decent keyboard with which to use it.
