BlackBerry security, how do I make sure I'm safe when on web on it?

Are there certain rules to apply when using my unlimited internet on my new BB? :D

I'm absolutely sure I could never use my card details on it for shopping etc, am I right in thinking this could be dangerous? I don't really understand bluetooth, but know that when you have it on, you leave yourself extremely vulnerable to anyone accessing any info on your phone, so I'll be certain to watch that.

Are there any general rules that would be helpful? I have just bought my first posh phone for a few years and need to be wise before I jump in and surf it......

Am I generally ok on any site I can log in with a password/username etc, or are these perhaps no go sites too?

Advice is very welcome.
:D

    Once you've used the Blackberry Browser, you wont want to surf to excess. It is best for BB Messenger and email. Re Bluetooth, there really isn't any danger, you need to authorise who you add etc, so if you don't know the person requesting, just deny it.
