Nope. lol
There is an E6B but it lacks some realtime calculation functions.
I could stand to be corrected, I haven't looked in the last few months. But I'm switching to an Iphone/ipad for this reason.

Had a little pow wow with some visiting pilots this summer with our iDevices and aviation apps and my coworker with her Blackberry was scouring App World trying to find one aviation app.

I'm sure that with the fluid nature of mobile phone apps there will be something soon enough, but it gives you an idea of how much of a head start Apple and Android have in this matter.

I've used a Blackberry application called WXSYS for several years. It's pretty good at retrieving complete weather reports (METARs, TAFs, and at many airports, visual images such as radar plots). You enter the ICAO code of the airport, press the button, and the information appears. I'm happy with it.
