Calling all Blackberry experts! I just got a new Blackberry Pearl 8120. I am totally new to the world of smart phones and after looking around online I am only more confused as to what this thing can do and how.
Some questions:
1) I am on T-Mobile. Am I correct that I have to sign up for t-mobile's internet plan to use pretty much everything special the phone can do? Such as maps, email, etc.?
2) Email push: what is that? Is it different than just going online with the phone and checking email?
3) Maps: anyone know if I can just upload some maps to the phone so I don't have to go online to view maps? There is also a map program and a GPS program but there is no provider listed under my options, and it doesn't let me choose one. Which service do I sign up for for that? Internet?
4) Web browser: the browser and the "t-zone" program look the same. Is there a different web browser I can use? There is also an option for 5.99 internet service when I click "web" under t-zone, but no one told me about that when I got the phone and I have read that is not compatible with the blackberries. Is that true?
5) Is there a way to use the phone on wifi networks without signing up for the t-mobile internet plan?
6) what is the difference between sms text and the other text? (MMS or something, cant remember)
Also if anyone knows any cool programs or a good site to get free stuff for this thing, that'd be cool. Thanks!
