...unpack it all, and just sit and look at the 'wonder' of BlackBerry for about five minutes!

Oh, then get:
1. Viigo
2. Beam Berry
3. The respective IM application that you want (Yahoo, AIM, etc)
4. EMpower 's HTML Viewer
...ok, who's next?

Download Google Maps, Setup your e-mail, Setup your ringtones, download Empower, put the Crackberry wap link on your home screen (this should be done first), kiss your blackberry, sync it up with your computer and get familiar with the syncing functions, hug your Blackberry, and download ESPN mobile, and a cool new theme! These are all the cool new things I did when I first got mine! Welcome to the club and feel free to fire away with any ???

Add the CrackBerry launcher for the WAP site, then set one of your convenience keys to open it.
