Just a quick note on a setting change I made on my BlackBerry which I recommend. First, open your messages application (email), then click on the menu button and choose options. Under Options, choose General Options, scroll down to SMS and Email Inboxes and choose Separate.

This gives you a separate inbox to receive text messages and your email messages. However, it still delivers a copy of your text messages and BlackBerry Messenger messages to your email inbox for those who prefer that. By doing this, it makes it much easier to take advantage of the BB Messenger built-in, and separates emails and text messages in separate folders making it easier to manage.

The cool thing about BB Messenger is that it acts like all the other instant messengers.  Unlike the others, one cannot shut it down unless you completely uninstall the application. Rather than deleting the application, I recommend taking advantage of its great features. All PIN messages in that application do not go towards your monthly sms text count because it utilizes your data plan. Adding friends on that applications will reduce or eliminate the need to use other third-party instant message applications and, in turn, save valuable resources (file free memory) to speed up your BlackBerry. Another nice function is the ability to send voice notes and address book cards (vcf files) to other messenger contacts.

Anyways, I use it and highly recommend using it to others. My BB PIN is 31f0554d. Feel free to send me a friend request.  Post your PIN in the comments section below if you are interested and I will add you if you prefer.  Thanks for visiting my site.
