How can I get blackberry software without using their app world?

I want the free dictionary and bible but I prefer not having that bulky app world on my device.

Look for the app provider's website. In my experience, if there is a blackberry app, it is still offered on the website even when available on app world. And you may find in some cases it is newer.

That worked, they were not what I thought they were. They were basically icons to websites.

Thanks for the tip...

You could also try mobihand.com.

MobiHand allows you to download/buy/try all sorts of BlackBerry apps, and they even have a mobile store for you to download, which is much less 'bulky' than App World. All the best apps appear in both stores. ;)
