No reason to call anyone when everyone I know uses WLM, FB and emails. I do call a few numbers though, and the History records everything.

        Second time BB owner:) BB.8520 great .If u don't need Gps or 3G this device is perfect for browsing ,facebook,tweeter,& any kind messenger.(I took from provider BB Service & 200Mb data download monthly).
        For youtube need hotspot :)(Wifi)or data transfer more than 3.6Mb/s (3G).
        With Gprs or edge not much data transfer.
        Much better than bold 9000 (If u don't need Gps or 3G) .

                  JFR/Blackberrian,

                  So far, around only 20 entries in total of dialed numbers, missed calls, and received calls are saved in the Call log screen.

                  Can I increase number of entries on the Call log screen, i.e. the last 30 entries in total dialied numbers, received calls, missed calls? where can i do this? where in Options?

And you would think that that would mean a stable, mature OS. It doesn't. Nokias rely too much on FW updates since the release date of each phone. I agree that they have great features but that doesn't make them better. Nokia got lost after releasing the N95-3 and others in those days. The newer ones don't offer much things different except for the N900. Not even the e63 (lack of HSDPA) and n97 (processor too weak for its features).

Forgot the name though. I just use Firefox' Download Helper and get my videos from Youtube in mp4 format. As for my favorite app, I have 2. UberTwitter for following people (I don't tweet a lot) and BeWeather. I also use Bolt Browser a lot because Opera Mini 5 didn't work with my trackpad. All my other apps are the default ones: Facebook, WLM and that's all. I also use Crackberry Launcher for quick access to the crackberry.com forums and blogs.

Since you said that you carrier already ... moreThanx again JRF, I already have the desktop manager that I got from the CD that comes with the phone installed, which is rightly version 5.0. It only has the following five options, Media, Application Loader, Backup and Restore, Device Switch Wizard and Synchronize. I can't see the one you mentioned.

What I do is I go to www.vuclip.com. You can view and download youtube videos from there in the format that is playable in this bb.

                                        Since you said that you carrier already confirmed that you can tether, all you need to do is open Desktop Manager and you should see like 8 options. I have an earlier version of 5.0 but it should still be the same. One should say IP Modem. Open it and select the setup helper, which I think is the first option, and let it detect the phone. Once detected, choose the other option that should connect to the internet. There should also be an option for you to stay connected after closing Desktop Manager. This should be all, sorry it isn't really clear as I just woke up and am writing this from my phone, without looking at the laptop. Plus I've never done it before :) I just remember a video I saw on my carriers website about this. Happy Easter to you as well.
