I am a Bold owner and not familiar with the 8900, is there anything I should do right away to make my sisters experience with the phone more enjoyable? e.g. how is the OS out of the box? Should I upgrade to the latest OS?
I would assume:
-Upgrade to latest OS
-DL necessary apps
Anything else?
Download some girly themes for her.
I meant more in regards to the 8900... Like any type of 8900 specific fixes
I thik it all depends on her (the user) How she wants the phone to run, you know what I mean? I recommend leaving it factory and just helping her with the tools to tweak if she wants to...
Definitely OS 250, better battery life.
i would just recommend upgrading to .250 and possibly download BBM 5.0 for her. just google around for a still working OTA link. im not gonna post the one i use, cuz i dont want it to get taken down. but if you look on google, you can get it.
let her expierence the BB addiction on her own like you did lol :)
Wish I had siblings as nice as the OP!

++ the upgrade to 250......
Are there multiple .250 OS carrier versions or just the italian one, TIM I think?
Carrier version doesn't matter. The instructions direct you to delete the vendor.xml file, which is the only vendor specific portion of the OS package.

download blackberry msg 5.0, and if she's over 18 scan my barcode (see avatar)
Let her hit the free apps and tell her to buy a case. Maybe even a Seidio 360 to keep makeup out of it.
Get maratick too.
Get her some BADAZZlES :)

You should deffinitely get her a Screen Protector ASAP. The 8900 has a pretty sensitive screen compared to the 83xx series devices

Yes screen protector is the most important thing you can get!!!
I like the clarivue crystal clear screen protector!!
I wouldn't download BBM5.0 yet because I have been having delivery problems lately. May not be the same for everyone else but know at least one person is still having problems.
everyone has, even me. but its still worth having for the time being.
Definitely upgrade to os .250 and get a screen protector... It is really easy to scratch. I put an invisible shield on my GF's curve 8900 because I knew she would put it in her purse with her other stuff and so it was definitely going to get scratched.
As for specific things... There's really not much that is super specific. Maybe put a specific wallpaper for her that she might like. But like others have said, let her experience BB for herself and pick what she wants etc...
Alright I was wondering about the carrier because with the Bold the Rogers version runs better for a lot of people then the CSL version... Apparently 250 does not have this issue. And I will order the screen protector asap. Thanks for the reccomendations.
