There's also a WW mobile site, you can track your food for the day and its automatically updated on their regular site. You can also use it to calculate points for foods, etc.

ETA: WW is not a download, just a website designed for mobile devices.

MEEEE TOOOOO - last month, and i'm already a master.

some great things:

1- download google maps - it has a GPS locator in it and has the ability to give you directions from your location...AND traffic conditions! (the regular maps program that comes on it does not pinpoint location - you have to enter a starting address.)


2- download Opera mini. It's a browser and provides a better view of sites like LIF. http://m.opera.com


3- I have a TMZ application too :) hahah

4- Go to Crackberry.com --- tons of fun stuff! Free downloads, tips, forums, etc.



these are GREAT!!

I LOVE the Opera browser. I jsut downloaded it!! Chat Icon

Crackberry.com is a great source for information, wallpapers, themes, etc. Its also a great place to get help, if you're having trouble with something.

The google apps are free, so is opera mini.

Other free apps I've downloaded are Facebook, WeatherBug and Pacmac Chat Icon



I owe this girl for much of my blackberry fun :)

do you know who's BES server you are on? is it a work bb? some work places block some third party apps, and that is the error message you get.

The only addition to your phone bill would be the data charge, which depending on the server you want can either be $29.99 or $45.99

Both are for "technical" unlimited, one is for regular use the more expensive is to connect to your work server but if you dont intend to do that then go with the $29.99

So, it would "add" $30 to my monthly bill??

Right. But then add taxes, fees, etc on that "$29.99". My bill went up about $45 per month.

I now pay $125 / month for cell phone (which includes a phone for my Mom).

I keep asking myself if it's worth it, but I am sooo addicted to my blackberry that I don't think I can give it up!

I check email / the internet while sitting in traffic, waiting at my Dr's office, etc etc!
