You can find a lot of info on http://crackberry.com/. It's a pretty helpful website, plus if you register you can DL some apps for free, get free ringtones and all that stuff.

Why on earth did you get a Blackberry?? I can't think of a single reason why anyone would want one, ever - did you look at the X1 or the N73? The reason they are popular in the US is becuase they are generally 5 to 10 years behind on electronic devices over there, much like Europe being 10 years behind Japan.
I'd neg rep you if I hadn't just done that the other day.

But I wouldn't be so peremptory if I hadn't just bought a bunch of different phones in that category and tried them neck and neck. The Blackberry offers nothing unique and there's a very good reason why nobody in Europe, except for the occasional idiot (see OP), gets one.

I just lived in Spain for 4 months and traveled all over and saw tons of natives with blackberry's. JOXY man what are you getting at? And I have played with the N73 for a while and that phone is horrendous...
JOX- just out of curiosity what phone do you have?

Ha, sorry - you are right! The N73 is nasty. I meant E71.

BB is by far the best phone for email/messaging. It doesn't have the flash factor (although the Bold and upcoming Niagara are very nice) of the iPhone/Nokia N Series, but from a functional purpose it can't be beat.
Did you download google maps and opera web browser? I use Berry 411 but I don't know if you have that over there. Beejive is the best IM client.

Isn't that getting replaced soon? The N97 is nice looking but I imagine the next iteration of the iPhone will do everything it does and more (sans the physical keyboard which is the deal killer for me).

Agree on the iPhone - had one for a while and the fact that it doesn't have a keyboard makes you want to throw it out the window because you can't use it while driving . . .
