What is the program for translating your vm to sms text? Do you pay for the program or a month?

Mine is in pieces in a box waiting for me to ship it to Steve @ Horizon Wireless.

When it was in one piece I used it for web, email, BBM and GPS. Also alot of really neat apps out for it now.

Besides email, which is the most important thing:
PocketDay Pro gives me email preview, calendar, tasks, weather, stocks, RSS feeds, and more right on one page.
IM with BBMessenger and JiveTalk
Web browsing to sites like NYT, my local TV stations, my local newspaper, my own forum, and more.
Listen to music from my media card.
Maps to check traffic, get directions, etc.

My curve makes a nice little paper-weight for all the money I saved by switching to Geico.

youmail.com voicemail provides the transcription, it was free till it just came out of beta. but they have different plans. I pay $6 a month, but it's totally worth it, I love looking to see what was said and it's pretty accurate.

My biggest thing is email (being able t get my work emails right away is great), but I also use it for checking the weather, as a GPS (when I need to), updating Twitter, and as a time waster (LOVE BrickBreaker!) among other things.

Viigo, email (all personal), SMS, BBM, Twitter, AccuWeather, Websurfing, Direction finding...

There are so many cool things (a lot are free) that you can get for your BB. Sometimes it's a matter of finding the apps.

I would love to have a Pandora app. Slacker is good but it isn't great like Pandora.

Daphne is there a fee for PocketDay Pro? I need something like that to keep up with my and my kids schedules. We seem to have a lot of conflicts because I fail to track it.
