    You would think BlackBerry would come up with a new design for their touch screen phone instead of an iPhone clone.

    I almost got the curve recently but I'm thinking of holding out for a few more weeks for the Bold for only a $100 more.

    How you getting this thing free?

    My free offer from AT&T is the W350... meh. I got my wife one. I'm still waiting for a better option while my W810i holds it down.

    What happened to the Helio Ocean? I think you mentioned you had one a while back. I might be wrong, though.

    Question to you BlackBerry owners. Ok, when you set up an email account on it, it appears to be TEXTING all my emails to me. Do these count as txt messages? I figured it's be all part of the data plan but appears to be txting me all of my new emails.

    there are 2 seperate Icons....the first few txt/emails you get will go to both icons, something like a 'congrats you've just set up blah blah blah'. after that, only your sms txt will go to your txt icon and only your ...@tmo.blackberry.net emails will go to your email icon.

    if you use yahoo mail, DL the yahoo shortcut, your emails will go to your yahoo account and you can just check it through the shortcut.

    That's what I would have recommended to the OP. I'm holding out for the bb storm whenever it finally comes out, since I'm stuck with verizon.

    I added my hotmail account to the email wizard setup thing. And all my emails from hotmail seem to be txts. Maybe it's the theme I'm using and it puts all my messages in that one folder.

    Here's something that doesn't happen every day. I was hitting golf balls into the field behind my new house yesterday and I found a fully charged Blackberry on the ground while I was retrieving the balls.

    I called all the numbers on his call log and finally got a hold of the dudes gf who came and picked it up. I think the guy was a dealer judging from a couple messages I read. You know he's a dealer when everything is in obvious code. I didn't look at his pics but I always wondered how many people keep dirty filthy nudie pics on their cells... oh monkey me.

    My gf has one of my butt crack and thinks its hilarious. She's a monkey too. We're all primates here!

    I have a Pearl.

    It's a great phone and the right size.

    I couldn't setup my hotmail account on my BB, I think it has something to do with the windows live crap.

    That's what I have, and it works.

    (Live Hotmail account)


    What apps do you recomend? I can't seem to get anything with flash to work. Downloaded Opera Mini today. Guess I need to download Flash Player 7 or something?

    I didn't DL the flash player, perhaps I should. I also have the astros.com shortcut, google, yahoo and some misc. small buisness crap for my company.

    I'm tryin to keep it simple, but I know there is a crapload of other apps for it.
