ShortcutBerry, another shortcut app for BlackBerry, but this one is different from the rest!
This new application for BlackBerry devices 81xx-9000 Bold. It allows you to assign up to 3 apps per convenience key and are launched depending on how many times you press the key. It also has pre-programmed shortcuts for native BB apps and allows you to customize your own shortcuts. These shortcuts work from within any app. I'm just starting to play with this and will review it later. There is a 45 day free trial which gives plenty of time to decide if it is worth purchasing.
NOTE: UPDATED TO VERSION 2.00 Many cool new features:

The list of all features of ShortcutBerry V2.00 can be found here:
One thing to note, if you are a vlingo user that convenience key cannot be assigned to anything else but you can still use the other one for 3 apps/functions.
I think the advantages of SB over QL are
- The multiple click and the fast access comes with it.
- SB seems faster than QL as you do not need to (but can do) navigate a list of shortcuts before launching an app. Just click the shortcuts and your app is up.
I think once I memorize my shortcuts this will be amazingly faster than any other shortcut apps. No need to scroll through a list or find and click an icon...still trying to configure it perfectly for me but so far I'm really diggin it
