You know after a few days, I find that I can deal with the stock browser, no pb. (much better now that I found out where the "zoom in" feature is hidden

) it's the screen size that's the problem

I downloaded a couple of apps: Weatherbug (for the weather forecast), IHeartradio (tons of radio stations), the AP (to get the news feed), Google Maps (works pretty well, but real small), a dictionary app, a translator app., pretty conservative stuff i guess. Still feeling my way around the device.

Great tool, if only the screen could be just a little bit bigger.

scannerradio is pretty damn cool. Its a basically 2.99$ for the app, u can do a 7 day trial to try it out for free. It basically lets you listen on your local police departments radios, weather stations, and fire stations. So I live in suffolk county, I can listen to whats going on on the suffolk county police department radio. its really really reallly clear surprisingly and i can listen to the LAPD radio if i want as well from NEW YORk on my blackberry with it, i think its suttim like over 2000 stations or some crap. pretty cool though
