Picked up a 9700 last week. Came from a Pearl that some how lasted 3 years. Telus had a 72 hour deal $0 phone on 1 year term. couldnt lose while waiting on the 9900 to launch.
Upgraded to latest OS6, and spent 2 full days customizing the phone. literally every possible option was looked at hah.
Fucking love this thing!
Picked up a screen protector and OEM style soft pouch as mine came with a belt clip pouch.
Anyway, I have a couple issues. about 50% of the time when I launch something in the browser it says it could not connect to server. All websites do it. I havent paid enough attention to notice if it only does it on 3G or WiFi or both. Any suggestions?
Also, I've been unable to setup my work email on it, I enter the setup info (login/pass, server/account) exactly how it should be and it tells me i have the incorrect login. fuu
Also, any recommended apps? I dont have any. I dont feel I need any, but hey, why not. hah Maybe some type of better calendar or scheduler or some kind of notes/schedule app? It gets a lot of miles for work schedules and notes.

Download "opera mini" from blackberry's web browser and use that app. It's a blackberry browser app but much better than the "orginial one". I've always had problems with blackberrys "original" browser, and opera mini runs smoother. Quote:

You'll need to make a BIS account if you haven't done so. When I first got my 9700, i could make an account straight from the phone, but now RIM has deleted that option apparently. Here's a tutorial on how to make a BIS account: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/...nts/td-p/49729 Quote:

It gets a lot of miles for work schedules and notes. | For schedules and notes, I don't use any "better" apps than the calendar or memopad app..you could try Word to Go as a substitute for memopad
A couple of apps I use are:
Word to Go - Great app for taking notes. You can transfer your word files onto your phone and they open perfectly.
CameraMuteApp -  title of the app says what it does. It's an app to mute that sound when you take a picture
Facebook - Self explanatory
Twitter - Self explanatory
MMAJunkie - Great app if you're a big MMA fan like I am. Keeps you up to the latest on the MMA world with articles.
GoogleMaps - Really helpful app that is pretty self explanatory
Canucks App - Self explanatory
CanadaPost - I just use it to check where my packages are at
BlackBerry Protect - App that can locate where your phone is if it ever gets stolen/lost etc
DictionaryApp - Bitches love a man that has good vocab
BerryBuzz - I really recommend this app. When you get a text the LED light flashes really slow right? This app "modifies" the LED light and you can choose a colour on what it flashes and it flashes faster, so you know you got a text, instead of just checking your phone constantly.
OperaMini - Explained above
Flixster - It's the Rotten Tomatoes app basically. You can watch trailers from your phone, see what movies released, the fresh and rotten scores etc.
TheScore - App to check sports scores
BBM - Self explanatory

thanks alot! ya ive got data haha.
os6 came with word to go i think or a trial for it. i wonder if open office has a mobile app as thats what i use for my word program
ill check into the BIS. will that sync or whatever my email with my outlook?
i would love to be able to do my invoicing from my phone thru open office and export to pdf to send in an email from my phone.
something else i noticed is the camera is slow as shit, is there a fix for that or is that just how it is? it takes like a second to capture the picture, usually late.

If so, it should work I guess. I just use hotmail and gmail and they sync to my phone. Gmail emails syncs right away, hotmail takes like 1-15 minutes to receive the email.
Did you upgrade to OS6 from desktop manager or did you download a leak? Desktop manager upgrades are slow as shit and it could be affecting your camera.

I'm running OS 6 on my 9700 and switching apps is a breeze.
If you need any assistance on upgrading your phone, don't be afraid to ask  | ive been running os6 on my phone since it was leaked on crackberry 
and it's updated to the most current version. Next I will give it a week or two and then reinstall the os

It's a known issue with the OS6 leaks.

Although there are a few issues with OS6 like the camera not flashing, it's definitely worth the upgrade.
