Hello everyone I'm a first time blackberry owner and I'm not the most tech savy person in the world. I've had my blackberry curve 8320 for 2 weeks now and I don't think I've even seen or heard bout 1% of the applications made. I'm only 17 and I have one of those strick parents that thinks u only need a phone to talk and that's it, so if any of u guys kno any free applications or free gps things. Send me a message on here or send me an IM on yahoo at bigtbear5191.

Welcome to CB! Check out the BlackBerry 101 Lecture series under the Newbies tab above. Anything and everything you could ever need to keep you busy for at least a couple of weeks can be found there. Enjoy the new BB.
There are all sorts of different free apps that do all sorts of things. You will have to dig for anything you don't find mentioned here on CB. I always suggest to do a google search for "blackberry downloads", "blackberry software", and "blackberry freeware". These searches will yield many places you can get apps. Most sites have purchase and free stuff which is where the digging comes in. Plus if you are looking for a specific kind of app you may have to look in more than one place for it. Keep in mind not to put too many apps on your BB. Free memory should stay above 12MB. Refer to the freeing up memory guide(s) in the howto forum (some of us also have them in our forum signatures) if your free memory starts to get close to 12MB. Oh and check out the CB 101 lecture series. It has a lot of handy info, along with several of the threads in the howto section of the forum.
I'm sure you will enjoy your BB, oh and don't leave it unattended. When not in your hand put it in a pocket or purse (assuming you're a girl). You don't want to get it lost or stolen.
