With blackberry, few possibilies are available to check mails. Basicaly, either you pay for BIS to your mobile operator or you install Gmail.

Since february, i migrated from Palm Treo 650 without Internet connexion to Blackberry 8520 with Internet. Aim was to check my mailboxes on my phone. I wanted to use a software without using Gmail client.

After few search on Internet, i found Tiggit, a full Java mail client. I used it to check 6 mailboxes on 3 different hosters.

Positive points:

• Possibility to configure several mailboxes with IMAP or POP3,
• Possibility to store mail on Blackberry SD card,
• Possibility to save attached documents (not use),
• Link from contact to send mail,
• LED lighting and pics on home screen when new mail arrived,
• View HTML mail,
• Reactive support,
• Price affordable.

Negative points:

• Not all HTML mails can’t be viewable,
• Image from mails not downloaded,
• Autonomy is 1.5 days with 600s checking mailboxes,
• Tiggit Configuration lost each time blackberry OS is upgraded.

Price: 19.95 USD
Installed version: 1.1.19
