		<description>BTW do you know about a huge amount of &lt;a href="http://blackberryfreeapplications.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;"&#62;absolutely free applications for BlackBerry&lt;/a&gt; that were created by developers from all over the world?</description>

		<description>My first experience with the Storm was phenomenal.

Although there is a definite learning curve to fully enjoy the device, the features that it has and the detail for the small things definitely will give the Treo a run for its money.

The click-down keyboard simulation makes for a difficult transition to this type of touch screen when you're used to touching the screen for a response, however, once you get the hang of it, your typing will become second nature. I also realize that there may be some correlation between which hand you attempt to type from and which keys you are hitting. For example, no matter how hard I try to type the letter "e" with my right hand, it seemed to not select the correct key. Once I tried it with my left hand, the "e" key was selected on the first try...still not sure why, will keep you guys posted.

Other features that make this an outstanding device, that may or may not have been noted, include the video recorder, voice notes, visual voicemail, and better integration with Facebook and other programs. 

I will say that if the device is asleep and you wake it up, it can be a bit slow until it gets going, but that is quite rare and does not happen in every instance.

The learning curve is substantially greater with this device than any other PDA device I've experienced and I've had plenty.

So, what I am saying is that although it is a great all-in-one, touch-screen device, it is definitely not a device to pick up and expect to know very quickly. It will take longer than one day to learn how it performs best and how to get the maximum experience from it.</description>

		<description>I had the same problem with Media Manager that  Sandy had and probably for the same reason.   But I solved it a different way.  When I connect to my computer I get a message on my Blackberry asking if I want to work in mass storage mode.  I answered yes to this message and look in MyComputer for the Blackberry as a USB device.  I open it and open the folder named Blackberry.  In there are folders for documents, pictures, and videos.  I just dragged the pictures I wanted to download to a folder on my computer.  I also tested uploading to the folder.  This works fine, but you can't see the files on the Blackberry until you disconnect from the computer.  There is a folder on the Blackberry that is named documents.  I uploaded a word docx and a powerpoint pptx and viewed them on the Blackberry with the Word to go series of applications.  Next to try are Excel and videos.</description>

		<description>My first experience with downloading movies was not so great. Roxio Media Manager kept crashing and my BlackBerry was not being recognized by the Roxio software.  Once I uninstalled the version of Roxio that had been installed prior to Roxio for BlackBerry, downloading movies was a breeze!</description>
