Blackberry Pearl 8130 apps and stuff

[tekguy]

I just got my Blackberry Pearl 8130 yesterday and was curious as to what kind of apps, themes and stuff everyone might be running. This is my first "smart phone" so I am not sure what all it can do it. I hope there is software out there for the Pearl that doesn't need to be purchased.

Any feedback would be great!

I've got Google Sync and Google Maps on so far. :)

I too am purchasing this and would like to know if anyone has gotten theirs working with Feisty/Hardy. I did find this site though which requires a little work.

I, too, used that Linux.com article as a starting point, but it is a little bit out-of-date.

I have my BlackBerry synching with KDE-PIM in Kubuntu Hardy; here are step-by-step instructions (http://www.chipbennett.net/wordpress/index.php/2008/05/synchronizing-a-blackberry-in-linux/). (Not too painful, I promise!)
