I followed the advice given to me in my previous post and sadly, it won't work.  It says that my device will not support downloading a ringtone and to go to Get It Now. Blackberry doesn't have Get It Now.  ::headdesk::

The Verizon tech support guy tried to change my device in my account (a thing he's done in the past), but Verizon has put the cabashes on that.  He suggested downloading the song, converting it to an MP3 and then somehow putting it on my phone...

Can anyone clarify this for me, please? I just want my happy ringtone...

I have Verizon and I want to get the curve... Is that a good choice??? I hear good and bad things, but I am a complete moron when it comes to Blackberrys. As a first time buyer... any suggestions???

How do I download ringtones, wallpapers and ringbacks to my Blackberry Pearl?  I checked applications and I have to buy a pack that's $20!! Is there anyway I can download something similar to VZW ringtones application I had on my Razr? My service provider is Verizon. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I have the Blackberry curve that I use to receive email. Initially, when I received an email, the text and email icon would both appear, indicating a new message and now suddenly only the text icon is appearing and not the email one. How can I fix this?

Notes :
Almost ready for production.

A friend of mine just got the Curve 8330 and was told in the store that she cannot have music ringtones on it, only the polyphonic ones. But everything else that I've read seems to suggest that it can have mp3 ringtones. Was the salesperson full of crap? Or can other BBs support them and just not the 8330? Thanks for the help!

Alright, I've been driving myself insane with this.

I'm trying to temporarily stop my emails from forwarding to my Blackberry as I'm at my desk for the majority of the day where I have access to my email from my computer.

Everything I've read has said to go into the Messages folder, choose Options, Email Settings and within E-mail Settings there is supposed to be something that says "Send Email to Device" or something similar. Mine does not have this. In the E-mail Settings I have the following options:

Confirm Delivery
Confirm Read
Send Read Receipts

is it one of these?

I've even tried connecting to the Desktop Manager, but for some reason, cannot configure email settings.

I'm using the Pearl 8130 if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance!

Nokia Location Tagger
Now that Nokia plans to include built in Geo-Tagging for selected devices [e.g. N78] this application is being shevled and will get no more updates. It however is quite stable and works well already. The latest release includes:

Persistent log. Now when you exit the application, your list of images in your logs tab will not disappear. When you delete an image from the Gallery of File Manager, the item will also be removed from the logs tag.
File renaming. There is additional option in the Settings menu to rename tagged file. The file name will be added _NLT as suffix. For example, if the original file name is image001.jpg, it will be renamed to image001_NLT.jpg. This feature will allow you to easily differentiate between tagged and non-tagged files.
Get location from cache. As you may know from our last posting that Location Tagger tags pictures with the last known position in the last 1 hour. If there is no last known position, it will put pictures in the queue until time-out. We added a new feature that allows you to get location from GPS device’s cache.
Optimization and some bug fixes. This new version should run relatively faster than the previous one.

Magic codes:

*#0000# To view Firmware version.

*#06# (*#0M#) To view Serial number, IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity).

*#2820# (*#BTA0#) To view Bluetooth device address.

*#62209526# (*#MAC0WLAN) To view the MAC address of the WLAN adapter. This is maybe necessary for wlan encrypted setup.

*#92702689# (*#WAR0ANTY#) To view the life timer information. This is the total time of phone calls in minutes.

Warning : All old data will be lost when hard reset is used. Ive not tested tthe codes below take no responsibility for any problems arrising from using them.

Soft reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc).The phone will ask you a confirmation, enter a security code (12345 by default)

Deep Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten. The phone will ask you a confirmation and enter a security code (12345 by default)

There is another key combination which is used to hard reset the phone (similar to #*7370#). It is useful in some cases, for example when the phone cannot reboot. The trick is by switching off the phone then press and hold Call key (Green key) + * key + 3 key + power button for a couple of seconds.

*0# If you want to know when someone has received your text message on their phone use this code start your message with *0# This is similar to "Delivery Reports" feature available on most phones but you will receive a details text rather than a confirmation note on screen.It will not show up on their message and a text will be sent to your phone when it has arrived in theirs. Best to leave a space before you start your first word in the message. You wont know when they read the message but you will know when they received it!

SHAZAM! - if you already use shazam, then great, if not, you probably will in future - dial 2580 and point your phone at some music. Shortly after, you get a text telling you what the song is! Perfect for cheating at pub quizzes or working out what a song is on tv/radio/etc. it costs about 60p a time, but they now have software to install on your phone that uses the data connection instead!

http://s60.mobi/mgp/events/s60/vodafone/shazam.html - although I tried it today, and it said it was expired. You should be able to pick it up from www.shazam.com - as far as I know, its free to install.

And my personal favourite. I liked the program so much I went and bought it yesterday - GUARDIAN. It lets you secure your phone so that if you lose it or it is stolen you can control it remotely, and even use the GPS to locate its whereabouts!

Info and link to buy it cheap (full version works out at around £11)

i bought 4x osram silverstar headlamp bulbs (buy one pack get one free) for £14.85 and I also got a pack of sidelight bulbs for free!

use code ZXRCX111 for an extra 10% off the normal prices (they are way cheaper than anywhere else i've found)

Is there a way you can temporarily disable it? I have my Pearl on all day and often have Facebook up on my computer. So, essentially I'm getting notified twice when really, because I'm on Facebook, I only need to be notified once. I'd only need the mobile app if I was away from my computer.

Help?

Hello all. This is my first time posting here. I just got a Blackberry Pearl but was wondering...is there any way to set it so I don't have to use the SureType system? I find it much easier simple to use it as I would a normal mobile keypad (1=abc, press once, twice or three times. With the exception of the 2 letters to a key on the Pearl, of course.

Any tips or hints or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! : )

I have a proposition...
Let's have a 'World Silence Day'.

A day when every single human being vows to make as little noise as is physically possible to exist, whether this is personal, business, government, religious or whatever.

Just one day, doesn't even have to be every year: once a decade would do, when the whole human race just shuts the f*ck up.

A day of total world silence would be absolutely awesome.

And as for the "well Max, obviously some things need to make noise just to function," argument... stuff it. If it can't be silence, then let's have as little noise as is possible from everything and everyone.

We couldn't do it even if our very existence depended upon it...

I wonder how you'd go about petitioning 'the world'...

:)

I'm with AT&T under my father's service and have an older Blackberry. I want to upgrade to a newer Blackberry Curve, but my father refuses to pay for a new phone and whatnot. I'm willing to pay out of my own pocket for the Blackberry Curve itself from EBay or Amazon.com and put my old SIM card in it -- as long as I'm still on under my father's service.

My question is, will I still be under my father's service if I do buy a phone off EBay and pull a switch-a-roo? Do I need to let AT&T know? Will I be charged extra and so forth? Thanks!

hahahahhaha

SCOOTER have knocked madonna off the top of the album charts in the uk!



how fucking cool is that!?!?!?1

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20080512/ten-entertainment-britain-music-charts-a56114e.html

the album has "covers" of the tetris theme, enola gay, kim wilde's "cambodia" and the theme from Neverending Story. top it off with more KLF references that you know what to do with, you get an album that is GENIUS!

people write them off, but they just dont appreciate the genius behind them

check out these videos...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbc15Przz-o

all of them are just GENIUS.

seriously. genius. theres no other word for this band. stadium house at it's finest. they are the closest you'll ever get to experiencing new KLF material... onstage they are up there with rammstein (they all look like nihilists, which probably helps)

they even do beautiful ballads. "i'm lonely" comes (almost) straight out of team america, as well as FULL ON GOTH (marian) - there's no reason for this not to get played at goth clubs. its certainly better than half of the sisters of mercy back catalogue.

if you cant see the genius behind this band (like al) then youre dead inside.

thatisall.

Jumping is an ability that most humans and many animals share to some degree. It is the process of getting one's body off the ground for a short time using only one's own power, usually by propelling oneself upward via contraction and then forceful extension of the legs. In some cases the height of a jump may be increased by using a trampoline, or by pushing down with the arms when playing leapfrog. One can jump up to reach something high, jump over a fence or ditch, or jump down, and one can jump while dancing and as a sport.

Notes :

Hello all, my husband and I are brand new to Blackberries. I have the Pearl 8120, husband has the Curve, we're on T-Mobile.

We're trying to send each other Add Contact requests on the Blackberry messenger, and they are never sent - I've even gotten "not sent-timed out" messages. Our salesperson showed us where to find our PIN #s, and we both sent requests via PIN #s, but nothin'. (Our blackberries are internet-enabled, too.) What are we doing wrong?

Also, one of the salespeople mentioned that there are gel skins that are like stickers for the faceplate to alter the appearance. Does anyone know where I can purchase those?

Thanks so much in advance from a total noob!
