Blackberry Bold 9700

[CHA!NGANG]

I got it today and was wondering if there was anything I needed or should do first? I read the stuff but just anything extra I should download or anything?

Thanks!

welcome to the 9700 club ;)

i would buy some new headphones for it tbh... the ones you get with it are absolutey ****e!

good thing about this phone is, apart from the initial setup, its ready to go straight out the box.

What I need when I first got my BB was,
Download Blackberry Messenger
Download Blackberry AppWorld
Download Facebook App - From the Appworld

and I was sorted. The headphones are pretty crap though and I want to some new ones, which ones have you got Eoin?

go into the app world icon on the main menu, then search for the apps

[CHA!NGANG]

Hm I can't see it.

[Eoin]

or you can search it on the net and download it through the blackberry website. for example search 'blackberry messenger app' in google and you should get it

[CHA!NGANG]

OK I have the app store now. I'm still really confused but I'll get used to it I guess lol. How do you log into msn on the phone btw?

[Sunny.]

To download BB messenger
go to phones browser and type
www.blackberry.com/messenger
or get it from the app world and you can get facebook app from app world too.

The msn was simple on my bb curve 8900. Just email and password and it logs u in.

Do you need a seperate memory card? If so where do you put it?

[Sunny.]

Most blackberrys on contract come with a memory card. My Blackberry curve 8900 came with 1GBD microSD card.

My sisters Blackberry Bold 9700 came with a 2GB microSD card.
Check yours, remove the back cover, take the battery out and it should be in a little slot somewhere.

[CHA!NGANG]

Ah yes I can see the 2GB one now. Thank's :) Very well hidden lol.

How do you download Videos for free?

[Sunny.]

Depends what videos. I usually download to my pc and then transfer via USB cable.

Im not sure how to do via blackberry...

[CHA!NGANG]

Hm yeah it works I think but its MP4 Videos. Any good sites for downloading those?
