    My g/f and I just picked up curves, for T-mobile. We've just set the initial things up, now is there anything that we should add program wise, or application wise? 1 question we have is, under the instant messanger application, is the blackberry messanger something that we can use for free? would that use the data plan or the text plan. We got 400 text's per phone, and wifi hot spot. We really like them so far, just wondering if there is anything that we should get, that would improve it. And I tried getting on this site, using the phone, and it wouldn't let me log in, or see half the page, any help there? ohh and is there something I have to do in order to get youtube to work? I thought I read something on here before about youtube, working on here, but not sure where it was at.


    Thanks, and happy to be part of the blackberry family

    For BBM it uses your data. Program wise there are too many for me to mention.

    So we can use the blackberry messager without it using our text messages, it will use the data(which is unlimited)?

    I would suggest getting a data plan. It is really worth it. You can also get the BB minutes and mail plan which has 1000 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data.

    In your browser, go to options and check every box and then set
    your emulation mode to BlackBerry.

    AG you posted this in a different thread and they said it worked so if it does credit goes to AG

    Is google maps free, with an unlimited data plan? and is there a way to delete some of the apps, like facebook, and the other map one?

    google maps is free w/ unlimited data plan. to delete apps go to options->advanced options->applications->then hit the menu button for the app you want to delete and you will see the delete option
