Well I am new to the BB scene and decided to go with the Tour. Did I make a good decision? Any MAJOR hang-ups that I should know about? I did a little searching of the web site, and it seems to be set-up really well.

I have noticed that you guys are speaking Japanese and I don't understand half of what you are talking about so if you have a link to a Thread that can help me with the lingo it would be helpful......

Thanks for any info

Welcome to the group.



See http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_FAQ. Also look at the threads that are stickied at the tops of the forums.



Also, don't forget about the help application on the blackberry. If you are on a screen and you don't understand something, open the menu and select Help.

The trackball problems seems really hit or miss. I know that people are still getting them with roller issues. I got my Tour in the first week of release, and mine is still fine.

I wonder if buying a after market track ball would fix some of their issues? Anyone tried this?

Is your trackball giving you any problem? If not, I would suggest that you leave it as it is.

It is probably more of a placebo effect but my trackball seemed to function better in my view when I updated to 5.0. I have had two Tour and didnt have a trackball issue with either

I don't have a track ball issue as of yet. I was just looking forward to IF it happens. So far so good. Thanks for all the info.
