One of our readers, Stephanie, sent in the news about this new free application. It is a very simple Countdown timer for BlackBerry that is available for OTA download only. It comes from the good guys over at www.northcubed.com.
Countdown functionality is supposed to come with OS 4.6 but this is a great way to add the functionality for free.
From the description on the product page:
Usage is simple enough, start the application, set a countdown period and select start, you can toggle pause using the spacebar and when the countdown completes there’s an unobtrusive 2.5 second vibrate to let you know you should be wrapping up whatever you’re doing.
Download using your BlackBerry browser:

Sorry guys. Worked for me on a sprint 8330 and my AT&T 8310… The developer did mention some issues but I just assumed it was with the pearl or 8800

After reviewing this piece of software on our site and been insulted by our users we finally discovered that if you leave the “hours” set at “01″ you finally got the “start” entry in the menu.
So, if you need to set 20 secs you have to enter “01:00:20″.
That’s a real bug… definetely!

I can’t get a “start/pause” menu, only a “set countdown” menu after already setting it. (I did get the start window ONCE).

You have to leave the 19: in there and add minutes and seconds. This is the only way I can get the “start” to show up.
Using BB8800.

Once it hits the 19:00:00 mark the alarm will go off.

Works well for my blackberry pearl. You have to leave the 19: as it is though.
