Ok so I bought a Pearl 8100 off ebay last week and received it Thursday. I called AT&T and cleared that it wasnt reported stolen, it is free and clear

So this isnt my first BB, Im an ex-7290 user. I have a few questions:

When I first turn on the Pearl, I get "Network notification messages". They are all garble. One is a bunch of weird looking "a"'s that sort of look like a' a' but they are in italics and there are like 50 of them.

The next message is a whole bunch of weird characters as well. What do these "network notification messages" mean and how can I get them from popping up in the future??

What cool programs are recommended? I used to have google maps on my 7290 and weatherbug or some weather application. Im a boater, so those were both very valuable. Any new fresh recommendations?

I'm sorry I can't help about those messages. But I love Viigo.. I didn't like it at first and now I'm obsessed with it. I also second the ESPN app. It's a necessity.
