Safari works okay, though Firefox feels better to me. Definitely get Thunderbird for email. Both are free and come from the same place. check out Versiontracker for all your cheap/free OSX toys.

I need to be able to sync my BlackBerry, and from what I read I can't sync it to Thunderbird. Has anyone tried syncing a BlackBerry to a Mac successfully?

Never mind, I got it working. :)
