Hey, I just ordered the Curve 8900/T-Mobile and I am very excited, this is my first blackberry device and can't wait to get my hands on it. I was wondering what are the "must" haves for the 8900?

[AJocson]

case + BSE is your first priority IMO.

What is a BSE?

BSE = Best Skins Ever. (full body skin protectors)

Besides themes and a few free apps, i love my 8900 the way it is. (with a case and a skin protector)

oh ok, cool. I'll look them up.

For cases I'm going with the Innocase II (there is the 360 as well, but I don't want to cover up my keyboard)

And apps-wise I'd recommend checking out freeware apps (just try them, if you hate them, delete them), and for paid apps; quicklaunch, berrybuzz

If you do much surfing, I would recommend Bolt Browser. Unless you really want a better case, the one that comes with yours should protect just fine. If you plan to use gps, download google maps. Viigo is popular as well.

berrybuzz is a must have app it made everything easier 4 me
vibAndRing if u want ur phone 2 vibrate and ring at the same time instead of vibration first then the ringtone.
MyAlarm
BBWeather

CONGRATS!! & Welcome CB family..

Anyway.. you dont have to.. its depend what you select apps which meet your needs.

However you really need silicon skin and screen protector, too.. its PROTECTIVE your bb and ur personal value..

I hope you have fun with little sweet device when you receive. G'LUCK!

Thanks for all the replies, I have definitely been looking into a protection cover for my BB.

Also I was wondering if the 8900 can stream flash videos online, or maybe a app that allows this?

FIRST PRIORITY: GET A BSE. They make very nice screen protectors/full body skins.

I think the BB OEM silicone skin does its job well enough.

I just got this aluminum case for my 8900 so I can leave it safelly in my workplace... (metal constructions industry) It is AMAZING! adds little weight and volume, it actually looks so nice that I can leave it in there all the time!

As far as cases I like otterbox...

Good luck, enjoy the device!

There are a lot of great things out there... and most of them you can get for a free trial period (usually a week)... I really like having AutoStandby, GoogleSync, GoogleMaps, Viigo, Vlingo and BerryBuzz.

But always remember how to find http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/popu...d-links-21096/... it's one of the sticky threads in the Blackberry Discussion forum.

GoogleSync & Maps.
Can't really say I've installed much else that you'd call "must have". But get the charging dock, it's pretty awesome.

looks nice,i think i will try it,the 360 case messes with my typing big time.

I have had my 8900 since Febuary, any advice on a lcd protector? Is the Innocase 2 better than the 360??
