OK. Right to it.

I do not have the blackberry software cd that came with my 7290. I don't really know what it's for seeing as I am using it just fine.. but maybe not to it's potential.

I would like to download a few third party programs like an ebook, a game, and a nice app for my business.

When I went to the bb site and checked for what to do... I think I did something wrong . I have a desktop manager on the pc now.. it's version 4.0and the service pack is one... and there's an update I downloaded that goes with it.

On my bb the version and platform are listed as...v3.8.0.139 (Plat. 1.8.0.99)

The carrier is cingular . My pc email program is OUTLOOK.

Should I be doing somthing to get the destop manager and bb linked up? Which one should I pick? how do I update the version on the handheld ?

Why do I feel like I am in the twilight zone with this? But don't get me wrong...I'm not giving it up. I really like my bb and am taking it shopping next week for accessories .

GO BB. You're for me.
