Hi Everybody

I am new to the Blackberry community and just waiting for my New Blackberry Curve to arrive from Newegg.com. Any suggestions on what to do or apps to get when i get it? Thanks

That's the thing with the Curve, it's "good out the box!". But, you could get EMpower HTML email for BlackBerry.

And for sending IM, I'd suggest JiveTalk

I don't know the site address, but its a great free app.

Jivetalk is very nice. I had the free trial of that until it expired (I just don't IM enough to spend the money)

Empower email view is a must in my opinion. It allows the email to look the way it is intended. (Near HTML) Very nice.

Google maps is a good free program. Blackberry messenger (although this might come on the new blackberrys from the factory.)

Remember to post back here when you get it, although I am sure the addiction will draw you back.

Yes I will definitely check back when i receive it. I have been calling the house every 15 min to see if has arrived...lol. I think I'm just a little to anxious
