just got a blackberry tour. that little keyboard is taking some getting used to but the email checking is very convenient.

any tips and hints for this model?

any applications that can be downloaded that are worth having?

 

My boss just got one of those and he loves it. I've played with his a little bit and am seriously considering one in December when I can upgrade. I'll be checking back in this thread for tips (if any show up).

 

I have a blackberry curve and have some cool apps for it. One I really like is blackberry weather. It has scroll over temp/conditions. Plus try the blackberry forums on your phone, there is some really good help there.

I have a Bold and my favorite apps are:
Google maps (m.google.com from your blackberry)
Pandora
Amaze (free GPS)
Google Talk (instant messenger)
ScoreMobile (instant sports scores)
Weatherbug
