First time Blackberry AND Touch Screen phone user. I have the Storm and went through the rite of passage of waiting in line at 6am to get 1 of 20 Storms from the particular store. (There were LOTS of pissed off people behind me as I was #16 in line!)
Loving the Storm and all of the functions of Blackberry. I certainly can understand why they call this a Crackberry. I fell asleep last night with the Storm on the pillow next to me. (Okay that is a bit sick, I know... that's a joke!)
I posted some questions on the Storm forum- I was hoping someone could check them out and see what I'm doing wrong and could lend some advice. Thanks in advance!
Jimmers- I am very fortunate to get the Storm on the first day, I can't believe I woke up so early to wait and get it! Thankfully I'm in S. California, so it's not too cold here in the morning!
DCGREE- I just found out about the Blackberry Messenger. Now that is pretty awesome!

Hey, I'm offended by that... my phone DOES sleep next to me on my night stand. :-) JK, I'm not really offended!!!
The minute I found I could use my BB as a flashlight in an emergency situation, or use it for emergency calls, of course I keep it with me all the time!!!
Anyway - welcome to the CB family! Enjoy the new phone!
i just bought a blackberry bold and i dont know if it is me or if my phone is not working do bb mesenger make a sound when u recieve them??? also i live int he usa but right now i am on vacation can i use bb messenger for free or do i get charged??
The one thing I need to activate is the 911 feature and GPS. Are there extra charges to do the GPS... you know, in case someone is jealous that I have the Storm and they don't... and they stuff me in the back of a trunk!
