Hi - Brand new to the BB world. Just got an 8800 from Cingular.

This forum is extremely helpful. I've gotten practically all my questions answered. I was a complete noob to BB, but I think the forum has turned that around. It's helped me get other vendor themes, enabled BBMaps for free, pointed me in all the right directions.

I used WM devices for years, my last one being on Verizon (XV6700). And I have to say that getting an 8800 is like a breath of fresh air. My main gripe is lack of 3G. But that said, my blackberry loads pages faster than Verizon's EVDO since it took my XV6700 about 45 seconds to connect to the internet. Google maps is about the same speed after initially loading faster. One other gripe is lack of customization. WM devices are far more customizable, but I would never go back. Everything just works and works better than any WM device i've ever had. No crashes, freezes, 4 minute bootup times. Everything actually works and that's incredibly refreshing.

Never going back.
