i got rid of my wretched palm 700P months ago. not a single prolbem. that damn 700p would reset itself. id have it on my desk and bam, it would reset itself. even more maddening while on the phone
depends on what blackberry you have. i have the 8830 for verizon. i have bbemail reader and thats it so far. i like to keep as much software off the original OS as possible.
for a skin, i bought a clear skin from
www.bestskinsever.com. sounds like some erotic site, but they sell the cheapest clear film anywhere that ive seen. easy to apply and makes your bb scratch resistant
