This is my first post and I did do a quick scan and I didn't see a subforum for
first time users of a BB...and that is me

.
To make a long story short I did acquire just yesterday a new TORCH. As I said I have never used a BB until now and have yet to setup a BIS email account so I do know it may be premature to make the following statement but I don't
get BB email.
Let me explain. I have a couple of gmail accounts and what I used to do with my HTC TOUCH phone was just set the email account URLs as favourites in the internet browser of my TOUCH and in one click I would be in my gmail account....just as if I was on my laptop.
So why should I not do similarly for a Blackberry? I know there must be obvious advantages to using BIS email so what am I missing?
