Which kind of application would anyone suggest to start working on/developing for a novice BlackBerry who has hardly spent 4-5 days checking out the API's and the simulator.

+1  A: 

Hello world might be a nice start. My first BlackBerry Java Application.

I did that already! I meant something which is of atleast some use
Bohemian
ah, hehe, in which case. Have you tried building something like a calculator?
Irfy
A: 

A Stack Overflow application! ;^)

Toad
That will something really good. But I hardly have any idea- how to go for it. What to do, how to do, where to start. Making the gui is alright but what about everything else

+2  A: 

If you want to write some simple application, you may port small open source game from J2ME. You will not have to think about business logic and resources.

My first BlackBerry application was plain puzzle.

There are several articles about writing fully functional applications:

Creating a Blackberry Game by Toni Westbrook
Thinking BlackBerry - GPS application
CodeProject - End-to-End Real World BlackBerry Application By MiamiCoder

Also I recommend the complete BlackBerry Java Development Environment Labs.
