DO NOT buy the Tour guys, it is heavily rumored that RIM is already making a Tour 2, with trackpad and wifi and it might even be released before the year is over. Probably to be released on verizon and sprint.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

OK. I've had my blackberry curve for about 3 months now. I added a data plan and a few apps a month ago. Now my blackberry has started acting weird...I try to access a text or call someone and the damn hourglass turns up, it vibrates randomly, calls show up as unknown, etc. Can anyone help me out?

Battery pull, it's a hard reset for the BB.


Should resolve your issue.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

Yeah but those curves suck and they break alot. Trust me I know from not only working with Blackberry's but having a wife that had a few and friends... they're kinda break too much.

Call your Cell company though slymm about the calls not coming through as numbers and texting issues....

I want the Curve 2 on Verizon, looks very good. Going to call them early December about a swap.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I'd really like to get a Storm 2... I love my Storm, especially after the latest update (5.0), and the touchscreen on the new one looks very nice.

I can't upgrade right now though and no way in hell am I paying full price, lol.

So just yank the battery and put it back in and I should be good?

With the device on, remove the battery. Leave it out for 20-30 seconds, then put the battery back in -- should clear up any funky issues you may be experiencing.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I just got a Storm 2 last week. It's the first non-crappy flip phone I've ever had, and though I don't feel the need to have a good phone, I've reached a point with my job where I need to check email and stuff on the web during times when I'm not around a computer.

Still getting used to everything but so far I'm really liking it a lot. One thing I dislike is it goes through battery quicker than my little flip phones ever did, guess I'll have to buy a car charger.

Honestly, the battery gets better after a few recharges. Mine can easily last a day and a half, sometimes two (barely), even with all the texting and web surfing I do.

However, just throw it on the charger every night like I do, and you'll never run out of battery.

Enjoy it man! I've got the Storm and love it... wish I had the 2 though

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I have the curve, and it has never broken, or given me any issues really. The trackball has gotten stuck a couple times though, but all you gotta do is press it in, roll it up, and then roll it down, and all is well again.

I will say this though... Ever since the new facebook update, the phone has come to a crawl. It locks up and moves ********ly slow at times, my internet browser gets the "outofmemory" error and closes... It's just annoying.

that's good to know. And yeah I do leave it on the charger at night, and often times when I'm just home as well.
