I have a Blackberry Curve 8330. A  few days ago, all my ringtones disappeared. When I try to download new ones, they don't show up in the ringtones folder. I can go set my alarm though, and all the ring tones are still accessible to use there.  I also can't save voice notes. Is there any way I can fix this?

Hi, I have the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and I was wondering if there's a way to remove the dark, semi-opaque bar that runs along the top of the home screen? It's there to provide a background for the time and network etc, but it makes the image I have as my background look strange. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance :)

What are the best Apps out there!? What are your faves!?!?

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE BLACKBERRY WITH THE BOOST MOBILE SERVICE $60/UNLIMITED!?? IF SO IS IT ANY GOOD ?!?! THANKS =)

I came across this site that has some pretty sweet free themes. You have to register but that takes only a few min and it is free. There are some paid themes on there as well, but like I said there is a nice selection of free ones. Just scroll down till you see your phone under the free theme section and have a look see. You can also find wallpapers and ringtones. Basically it is a pretty neat site for all BB owners.

I got the 8530 for my gf, and im just wondering about the menu keys. they are really hard to press compared to the tour and our the blackberries. is this typical of the 8530 or is there something wrong with it. and by menu keys i mean the back key and the menu key with the blackberry symbol on it next to the call button.

Hello fellow Blackberry lovers.

I recently got myself the Bold 9700 (thank you to every one who left comments on my last post. You were fantastic) I uploaded UberTwitter onto it and was pleasantly surprised to find out it has a whole new look to it, complete with a new icon. However when I have new tweets there is not little red circular thing on my UberTwitter icon letting me know. It just looks blank. The older version would show me that there were new tweeets waiting for me.

Is this happening for everyone of is it just me? I am debating deleting and re-uploading it, but I wanted to check in and see how it was working for everyone else.

Yesterday I bought a Tmobile Bold 9700. I upgrade Blackberry Messenger to 5.0, downloaded OpenBeak, Beejive and Facebook and entered all my contacts. Today, all of my contact were listed as "Marie Calendars" and I went from 50 contacts to 4. Anyone know why something like this would happen?

Hi! I have 2 questions about my new Bold 9700.
Firstly, how do I set it up so I can actually type a
a subject line on LJ?
Secondly, can I custimize my notification tones?
I saw nothing about that in the manual.

Thanks so much!

So I am considering getting a new mobile phone. My question is should I get the Blackberry Curve 8520 or the Blackberry Bold 9700?

My current phone is the old curve phone that I have had now for two years. It has served me well but after being dropped numerous times, it is time to put it into permanent retirement.

Working with an 8330 here. I'd like to update the software as I'm sure there's been plenty of software and bug fixes since I got this particular phone last summer.
However, I can't find the patch cord for the computer.
Is there a way, I can upgrade my Berry directly without having to use the computer?

I have been toying with the idea of upgrading my Blackberry Curve 8330 this year. My (Sprint) contract is officially up in November, but I am eligible for an upgrade now. I love my Blackberry, but I wonder if another smartphone might work better for my uses. I'd really like to get a phone that does HTML Gmail, has a decent HTML browser, and WiFi. I'm mostly between the Samsung Moment and Palm Pre, but I have a bit of a "what if I don't like it better than Berry" fear I suppose. Does anyone know if I buy one of these phones if I would be able to switch my SIM card back to my Blackberry and use both phones interchangeably? I know many people do things like that, but I've never tried it. Thanks in advance!

I just got a BlackBerry curve 8900 on pay monthly with free internet, but it also has wifi so I've added my home internet to it and it's fine. However, I'm not sure how to tell when I'm browsing the internet on wifi an when I'm using GPRS. Can anyone help? Thanks :)

Got myself a curve today, and I was warned that apps drain battery life.  Are there any tips you guys have to help save on battery life?  I will be using UberTwitter and Facebook apps the most.  I have logged out of facebook so that will save me a bit I think, but what about UberTwitter. And suggestions?

I changed the housing and trackball on my 8330 curve. Just thought I would share how beautiful it is!

blackberry messenger decided it would be cool to delete itself from my blackberry. i still get the sound alerts though. every time i try to download it again, it fails. 

has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Anyone found any good LJ BB applications?

Hi all. I got a BlackBerry Curve 8330 a few months ago and could not be happier. Except when it comes to ringtones. I used to have an LG touch screen phone and was able to get crisp, nice quality ringtones from PhoneZoo just fine. Now, when I put those exact same ringtone files on my BBerry, they sound scratchy and horrible, no matter the method - download from mobile web or direct transfer from my computer. I'm wondering what the issue is here/if there are settings I need to adjust. I'm still getting used to the phone. Any advice?

Ok so, I plugged my tour into my computer and updated the os through the desktop manager. It found the update automatically. but now when I go on facebook from my browser at the bottom where it normally says download the facebook app for your tour, it now says download the bookmark for your blackberry 9700. did the update not install the correct os? when i check to see what os im running it says 4.7.157
Is there not 5.0 out yet for the tour?
