    Hey all,
    I'm Doug from Mesa, AZ and I just got my first smart phone yesterday, a BB Pearl 8130, in black of course. Don't laugh (OK, go ahead), but my last phone that I retired yesterday was a joke. Had almost no functions other than just being a cell phone. I had it for over two years and it was way past time to upgrade. Going from that dinosaur to a Pearl is like taking a ride in a time machine. I hadn't even been in a cell phone store in a couple of years so I had little clue how advanced the smart phones had become. Of course I heard about a lot of the things they can do, but I had NO IDEA they were THIS COOL! My carrier is Sprint and I have to say the Sprint TV is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I already put my battery into the red today watching Sprint TV.

    Anyway, I have many questions but I'll try to seek the answers on my own by reading the threads here before I post questions that I'm sure have been answered many times before.

    BTW... my wife also got one and she loves hers too. We're competing for who can learn the most about the phone the fastest. Now that I'm here I may win that easily, although don't be surprised if you see a new user by the name of QueenGlamis show up here shortly.

    Thanks for the welcome all. I have been reading other threads to learn but there is SO MUCH to read that it will take a while. For some reason I can't enter a new contact in the Messenger list. Any tips?

    If you're talking about BB Messenger, you have to know the person's pin to add them.

    Btw, welcome to CB

    Actually, PIN or email works, then they must accept. There is a good lesson about messenger in the Blackberry 101 section.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of crack! Watch out for your wife, she will try to out do you. Keep reading.....

    So I tried finding this thread on my BB today and couldn't. I tried to search this section and it only brings up so many topics and I didn't see an option to go to the next page. I tried looking at several different options but no luck. Any tips? Thanks.
