apps come in the form of CAB files. you just download them to your computer, connect your phone to your computer via usb cable, drop the cab somewhere on your device/storage card, then install to either device or storage using the built in file explorer (look in start menu or programs). it'll install and then show up in your start menu.

You can also download marketplace for windows phone, which has some free apps: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...rketplace.mspx
Another marketplace is opnmarket which is all freeware: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/opnmarket/

And no it's not carrier specific most of the time... the bigger thing to pay attention to is whether it's for WinMo 6 or 6.5 and also resolution (your phone is WVGA)

Windows mobile takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what works and what does not... enjoy your new tp2 and welcome to this great site. Although i linked you to marketplaces, you will want to learn how to tweak and customize your phone from this site! Don't forget to thank people who help you by pressing the thanks button (future reference)

welcome home!..lol. this one is regarding use of this forum. if your have questions abt fixes or how to on your phone in general, use the search function first. because most likely, it was already asked and answered before. thats not to say you cant post your questions ever. but searching for a possible answer first may save you the wait time of getting a posted response/fix.

and make sure to visit the clean up thread.
