So, I really missed my old blackberry so I got one. Being out of practice, I wanted to start with duplicating or replicating the following apps/features that I currently use on the android Samsung Galaxy S3 device I've been using. These following features are:

First Foc us:

Whatsapp
Signal Private Messenger
Email Usage

For whatsapp, I found a post on here regarding installing BB whatsapp and resetting the time manually before initializing the install. I did so, but the system returned a message that it was too old. Any way around this? For the second item, I haven't heard of support for signal, but if there's any other encrypted messaging options for the BB please let me know what they are. Until this time, I can use it from the PC or the android. Email usage - I downloaded Logic Mail and have input the following setup:

Under accounts:
Gmail Primary (IMAP)
Configuration: Basic Settings
Server: imap.gmail.com
Use secure connection: SSL checked
Port: 993
Username: Entered
Password: Entered
Outgoing Server: Gmail Primary (SMTP)
Refresh on Startup: Never
Refresh Frequency: 30 minutes
Homescreen Message Count: Inbox

Under Outgoing Servers:
Gmail Primary (SMTP)
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Use secure connection: SSL checked
Port: 465
Authentication: PLAIN
Username: Entered
Password: Entered
Connection Method: Default
Use Wifi if available: Greyed Out

With all this said, is there a reason that the gmail primary at the bottom of the main view screen (IMAP) has a red X beside the computer icon? Is something configured incorrectly in the aforementioned settings, or does the problem exist elsewhere? Please let me know.

Other apps: Are there any GPS apps that can depended on to continue delivering accurate map information? If so, let me know which ones. Same thing with the default browser, if there's a browser anyone here would recommend then pass that through to me. I saw on another post about Opera being an option as well.

Etc: If there's anything here that I've missed that you think I should download in order to maximize the device that I haven't listed here, then please let me know!

Thank you!

You can’t use WhatsApp on BBOS anymore. There’s no way around that.

Thank you!

I have never seen a Signal app for BBOS (or J2ME), but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Whatsapp, as @Elephant_Canyon mentioned, is long dead.

There's a workaround to get Gmail working with LogicMail here: The Bold Explorer: LogicMail

For more information check out The Bold Explorer: Bold without BIS. That page is up to date. The Working and Dead Apps page is completely out of date, because it relied on feedback from users (since I don't use all of the apps listed) and there are few active users left.
