I just got my BlackBerry Bold yesterday and haven't really had too much time to play around with it now that I'm back at work. :(

I'm new to BlackBerry, looking for some Tips & Tricks from Bold users running Leopard/OSX.

I was told the Browser in the Bold runs like Safari in iPhone. I'm trying to access RFD on it, I think I'm missing some Apps because I can't access the Forums.

Thanks.

Might need to turn javascript on from the browser options. Once you are on the browser, press the BB button, then options and there should be a checkbox.

Any games or interesting application for black berries? I'm currently using symbian os so do blackberries have similar applications.

^ It's a Rogers phone, therefore it is locked. They lock the phones so one can't easily enjoy their own music as a ringtone unless you want to pay Rogers good money for it.

You can unlock it. Most privately owned retailers will do it for a price or you could always do it yourself to save the $10-$50 that dealerships sell the service for.

If you are running OS-X, you are out of luck, there is nothing there for you, especially since Desktop Manager only runs on Windows.

As for the Browser, it is nothing like Safari.

If you want to access RedFlags

try

using the BlackBerry Browser, if you want a browser closer to Safari, try Opera Mini

Yes, but if you really want to play games, you are better off with an iPhone. All the games on Symbian should work on the BlackBerry as it supports JAVA

Connect your BlackBerry with the USB cable, enable Mass Storage Mode and copy your MP3s into your memory card. I don't recommend you use your internal 1 Gig Storage, but you can if you don't have a memory card.

From your Home Screen
Menu
Media Player
MP3
Menu (select use as RingTone)

Fido does not offer BlackBerry Service anymore. WiFi should work if you turn on the WiFi antenna and scan for networks.
