Re: Will it take a 4GB Micro SD Card?
The phone has only been tested for up to a 2GB thats why you cant find any info on anything else. If you can find a Micro SD thats 4GB i dont see any reason why it wouldnt work.
Re: Pearl vs. V3T
Its not even Apples to Oranges...its Apples to Celery...I had the V3T and now use the Pearl. If your going to Pay the $20 extra for the internet and email on the pearl then it the best phone EVER. If not then stick with the V3T
Re: Wireless service issues
If you removed the Bbry Data plan from your account your not going to get EDGE.
Re: Does the Pearl offer Vibe and Ring ????????
Yes it does allow for Vibe and ring. Go to Profiles from the main menu, scroll to the bottom and select advanced. Then select the profile that you want to edit, then phone, and the frst option will allow you set it to Vibe, tone , Vibe and tone or none. the voicemail notification is going to be the same as the SMS tone as far as i know. Unless someone else here knows better.
Re: trackball dirty
Its dirty from the dirt on your thumb. The only REAL way to clean it is to take the phone apart and rub it down with an alcohol swab. Its not that hard to get apart, but i wouldnt suggest it if you have never taken a phne apart before.
Re: Volume
I dont. And none of my customers have complained about it either. Its possible you may have a defective device. Make sure you go through the profiles and pick a loud tone and set the volume up. If you've done that then contact customer care and they will switch it out for you.
Re: international travel with pearl
You've gotta make sure you call customer service and have them put them "International Permissions" on your account if you dont already have it. Internet and phone work great there. Im not sure about the Maps part. didnt try it. I would imagine it works though.
Re: Just so Everyone is clear...
Well of course. Im not going to argue with that. Im simply putting it out there for the people that wanna use the internet but dont read up on it or listen to there sales rep, and when they try and use it without the data plan it doesnt work and then they complain about it. Just got tired of people coming into my store complaining about it and then coming on here and reading about it as well...
Re: wHA?
I tell every customer i deal with that there is not point in buying the device without gettnig data. I flat out tell them im not going to sell it to them unless I add the data to the account. For the PDA's is DOES matter if you dont get the DATA. The phone does not work properly.
Re: Does anyone know how to...........?
This only seems to require a passcode when youlock the keys or power cycle the phone. Not when you try and access the media card. Unless i did something wrong. Thanks anyway.
Re: Navigation Ball?
My Apologies. It does work.
Re: Bluetooth Question
You can do file transfers with the pearl. I have sent MP3's, pictures and videos via bluetooth to friends phones and to my PC. It workspretty well.
Re: 2 lines??
You cannot have 2 numbers on one SIM card. Aside from forwarding calls from one phone to your cell. But that still isnt technically 2 number on one phone. Nextel isnt technically GSM although they do use SIM cards.
Re: Navigation Ball?
The ball does not lightup. It is very easy to navigate with the trackball. You can adjust the speed on it so it better fists your use.
Does anyone know how to...........?
I was wondering if its possible (and if it, how do you do it) to set a password to the media card. I want it so whenever you try and access it, it requires a password. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Re: Themes
WOW...your an ungrateful little brat. Why dont you try and find some for yourself...like using Google or something. Douche...
Just so Everyone is clear...
I'm tired of reading through all these threads from people that are having trouble with features on their blackberry. If you're not going to pay the extra money monthly for the data package for the blackberry (any Blackberry...not just the Pearl) Then don't buy the blackberry. Most features that access the network on a Blackberry REQUIRE the data plan ie: MMS, all IM, E-Mail, any type of internet browsing, T-Zones or Full Web. The only reason T-Zones is an ...
Re: Pearl Instant Messenging
If you dont have the data plan then the icons wont appear. However they should be there if you have to data plan. AIM, YAHOO, MSN, and ICQ. Try turning off the wireless and thurning it back on. Or just pull off the battery. If that doesnt work you may need to reload the software. Or get on the phone with T-Mobile Tech support.
Re: MAJOR PROBLEM WITH T ZONES BROWSING!!!
The Icon WILL NOT apear without the BB data plan. There is no way around it. You wont have internet or email options with out that feature. You can get a differant phone and use the tzones with it, but not the blackberry.
Re: Dissapointed
From what i understand, they are moving away from the wheel on the rght and moving to the center ball for the number of left handed customers that have a difficult time using the right handed wheel. They will come out with a simular device (as far as features are concerned) with the full keyboard. An upgrade to the 8700. I wouldn't look for the Wheel in future models though.
6103 With Faves
I am an RSR for T-Mo. We have been selling the 6103 for a while now. We have also had our store deo for a while as well. I was looking at our incoming inventory sheet and noticed we are getting another 6103 demo. Except this one says "With Faves" What is Faves? Anybody know?
Re: IMPORTANT
No it will not
Re: need help unlocking phone SK2?
It cant be done...even if it could...you wouldnt be able to use it (aside from general phone service) with any other carrier...(maybe Fido in Canada) the phone is specifically designed for tmobile. the other carriers do not have the correct network support for it.
Re: alternate way to turn it on
The only other way i know of is...
if you wait for the battery to die and then plug it in it should turn on by itself... Try doing to hard reset...that may do it...I think the phone might need to be on already for that though...
Re: Secret Menu
Secret menu? where is this?
Re: HELP PLEASE
Wallpaper...yeah you should be able to..i have...what do you mean 'set as' a short clip? as far as i can tell you can only use them as wallpaper or caller id items. you can 'send' them via mms also
Re: Huge, Crappy Screen & Expensive!
Its a sidekick..unfortunitally..most people looking to buy this device are not very interested in that things that we would be interested in...They are in terested in owning it cause it "hot"...The second 50 cent..or..Snoop or Paris Hilton has one..everyone NEEDS it...Its crappy sales tactics...but it works great for selling something that is not worth half of what your selling it for. People will want it simply because its a "Sidekick"...They are all Sheep..
Re: A Tad Disappointed . . .
I agree. I'm a T-mo RSR in new england. I am glad that is has a better camera, Bluetooth, the larger internal memory plus the removable card. The Mp3 player is cool too. I am VERY happy to see that there is a removable battery now. However...A change to the OS would have been nice. I mean keeping the same basic layout is a good idea, so that way SK2 users aren't learning a whole new phone. But changing ...
Re: Text SMS MMS alert tone
You can't...the only thing you can use is the ones that are already in the phone from the manufacturer...
Re: using mp3 as a ringtone
you'll have to DL an MP3 style ringtone from T-mobile.com or tzones...its gonna cost you $1.99 but it'll be worth it in the end..
Re: ZAZHA !!!!!!!!!!!. . . .

Re: Blackberry w/Family Plan
Yeah...you just do the family plan like you normally would. Then on the line that your going to be using you add the blackberry data..its really as simple as that...
Re: Changing messaging tones!?!?!?
I dont think there is...The 809 is the same way..it sucks cause all the tones are crappy...i just got this phone for my girlfriend and i was looking around in it for like twenty min trying to figure that out...couldnt find anything...
Re: Why wont Samsung Vibe AND ring???
Just a Samsung thing...Sucks...buts thats the way it is...
Re: 70% ISPOPROPYL RUBBING ALCOHOL SAVES THE DAY!
The card you can get almost anywhere. I got one at Radio shack. They are also at Circuit city, and Best Buy. Really any store that sells computer stuff. Its called at Trans Flash mini SD. as far as MP3's, I bought a memory card reader from radio shack for $29.99+tax. I just stick the card in that and then jam the reader into an unused USB slot on my comp. It opens up a file folder and i ...
Re: Sidekick 3 JULY 8TH!!!!!!!!
Revision:
The Eighth is when we will have it in the store. The tenth is when we can acctually sell it...As far as price is concernd there is nothing that has been "officially" released...I would imagine it would be around $300-$350...maybe as high as $400...im sure there will be some rebates or something...through the store it should be available for upgrades the tenth...if you wanna upgrade through cust care...it might be a few days after that...
Sidekick 3 JULY 8TH!!!!!!!!
Most T-Mobile Corporate stores in the New England region are scheduled to launch the Sidekick 3 on July 8th. This is straight from upper management. I'm not sure about the rest of the country. However i would imagine that it would be launching around that time. I suppose there is a chance that this date may change. However that is the date as of right now.
Re: Reception & Service
Most of the stuff that you are asking about has to to with the coverage of the company your using in the area that you are using it in. I'm with T-Mobile and i live in Fairfield county, Ct. I have no issues where i use my phone. Everyone's expearience may vary. It all depends on where you are using it. But if i had to generalize it all to the phone...It works great!! I love it!!
Re: PC Connectivity
I love it..no issues to speak of..i get the same type of service with this one as i did with all the other phones ive used with t-mobile. Battery life is pretty good. not the best ive used also no where near the worst. Better than the 809 and the razr if you have used either one of them. I am a pretty heavy user so im sure that has something to do with it. All in all i ...
Re: T609 - RECEPTION, CALL CLARITY?
I'll be honest with you. Breaking up has alot to do with coverage in general. however A phone can make a differance. I've sold around ten or so since the phone was launched and i havent had anyone come in with any complaints. That to me is always a good sign. In the short amount of time that i was testing the phone i didnt run into to any problems...seems so far to be a good phone.
