Hi and welcome to the forums! 
A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101 Tips & Tricks
And don't forget to visit: 8500 Series and The Tour Forum
Let us know how your are doing and if you have any questions/issues; search in the forum (search box at top right of page) Can't find what you're looking for? Start your own thread. Other users will be there to help.
A little OCD? That can be a good thing. Remember to backup your device regularly using DM and sync with Outlook if that is what you use. Also remember to close apps correctly (menu-close) so you don't eat up device memory and drain battery.
Just be sure to keep coming back. Happy to have you here!

DAquilina answered that one for you. Great if you found the answer to your question. Searching the forums in the first step in finding solutions. You'll be amazed at how much other information you will find and read about along the way. If you cannot find the solution you are seeking, then it is time to start your own thread so we may focus on your issue.
If you're not the original poster (OP) you cannot solve that thread. Be sure to keep coming back.
