LOL!
You would be surprised by the results of a search of "My BB got wet" and realize there is really only ONE way to fully immerse a BB in water. I don't mean you were using it while washing dishes, either.

My REAL tip?
Explore your BB like you would a PC. Get to all the programs, and go rooting around. If you get lost, hit the back button. If it asks you change anything, and you're not sure, hit no. Have some fun with it! Don't get all caught up in it like it's the "Sacred Mobile of the Gods". It's a phone! Provided you don't screw it up TOO badly, we're here to help you fix it if needed.

Thanks :d I used to flash dumb phones for shiggles, so I'm not a complete **** when it comes to phones. I have been through most of the menus, but I find the main issue I have is with the limit to the number of apps.I'm looking for a turn by turn navigator right now..garmin seems to have a good one. My old phone, samsung delve, had a decent nav in it, so something similar would be great.

Make sure u check out the ap store, too. So far I've dl a couple of games and an ap called quickpull...I hate having to do a battery pull, so I'm hoping this app will be a quicker way. Lol I'm such an addict right now that turning it off/on is too much

Alt-shift-delete will do the same thing as quickpull/a battery pull. I had quick pull for a while but I found it uneccessary after I discovered the alt-shift-delete trick. I'm really, I guess the right phrase would be obsessive/compulsive, about having uneccessary apps on my Blackberry, so I deleted it.
