I知 new to the world of BB, and the User痴 Guide is vague in a few areas, so here are my details/questions:
-I have Blackberry 8830 World Phone with a pre-installed SIM card
-I知 a Mac User
-I have PocketMac installed on my Mac and have already performed a sync which loaded all my addresses (and for some reason deleted all my iCal entries- not sure why but I知 not that worried b/c I will use my BB calendar 100% of the time & iCal entries were old)
MEDIA QUESTIONS:
I need a media card to load music and pictures, correct?
What are the steps to load certain albums from my Mac iTunes (not my whole iTunes library, but just select stuff)?
What are the steps to load certain pictures from my Mac iPhoto (not all, but selected pics)?
Will an installed media card also give me extra memory for phone apps?
SIM QUESTIONS:
I知 traveling to London, Paris, Florence primarily. The pre-installed SIM card is the only thing I need to access the GSM network in each of these places, correct?
When I知 back in the states, that card can just stay in my phone forever, correct?
When I synced with PocketMac, did the address book go on my SIM card or in my BB address book? How do I tell the difference?
How do I figure out what to expect as far as data usage is concerned? How much data (web, e-mail transfer) is usually used per minute when roaming on a GSM network overseas? (I will not be using GPS)
