    welcome!

    Applications can be downloaded to your PC, then installed using desktop manager, or something called OTA (over the air).

    If you have a link to install the app, try it OTA first.

    Ringtones and wallpapers, just download on your PC and transfer them over by plugging your phone in and open my computer to transfer.

    Some sites will also email wallpapers and ringtones, you can then download them directly from your email

    over the air means you go to a web site for a program and when you click on the link it automatically downloads to the phone. Handy but sometimes it is easier to put on your BB with your desk top manager. DM is the software that came with your BB. It is what allows you to sync with a computer and back up your phone which I highly recommend.

    welcome.

    Desktop Manager is the software that comes with BB that sync, update, and many other things your device.

    OTA means over the air. This means you can install apps directly from your device.

    Yes, Desktop Manager is on one of the CD's that came with your phone. You will want to load it to your desktop/laptop computer so you can hotsync/backup between your phone/computer.

    As far as loading programs, some will have to be loaded to your computer than added to your phone through the desktop manager.

    Other things such as ringtones, you can have sent right to your phone. There are great/Free tones right here on CB (Downloads/Tools tab) at the top pf the page. This is also a great site for ringtones, www.zedge.net you have to register, but everything is free.

    Enjoy!
