I got my emails, updates from facebook, msn conversations and surfing forums while on the go and didn't have issues. The only down side like I said is the fact that you can't stream vids. But, again, there's wifi for that.

Which is faster and can be used to stream media and web is faster. Edge can't really stream vids but you can through wifi. But I'm sure I read something about the Bold not being as fast as other 3G phones because the data goes through BB's servers to fit better on the phones or something like that. Of course you can use Opera.

If you want to recieve a music or picture file, you go to media on the blackberry devise, select pictures, ringtones or music, then click on the blackberry button and select recieve via bluetooth. The blackberry device will then accept the file you having sent to your blackberry

                      BB 8520 is surprisely very good phone - fast, strong, you don't need to restart (for example WinMobile, Symbian), e-mail and apps works perfect.
                      the only problem is the battery life in TALK TIME - i talk a lot (about 1:30-2:00h. a day) and every night my BB is in the charge. Standby mode is great but not for talking.

To create an email with BB, I just used the email setup assistant and at the bottom there was an option to create an account with them, I just put my id and password and that's it.
