Re: Flash player for curve
There's no support for this for right now. I'm sure this will change.
Re: Dust Under the Screen
Ok. I've had the Curve for about 2 months now. I bought a rubber cover for it (only the faceplate and keys show). I've had absolutely NO issues with dust. I keep my phone mostly in my pocket.
Just thought I would share.....
Re: Best AT&T Smartphone??
By far, the best phone I've used and seen.
Re: please help!!!!!Question!!!!!!question?????
I've had good luck with Opera Mini. It rocks! Waiting for Firefox to come as well.
new Curve!
I am an official BlackBerry Curve owner now! I love this phone! What a difference between this phone and my RAZR.
Still learning much of the functions...
Re: Blackberry 8300 Curve and wired sync to outlook
Speaking of OTA syncing of the Curve's calendar, do you know of a service that can do this? I was using GooSync with my RAZR, but the Curve doesn't have SyncML support.
GooSync does support the Curve, but I would have to buy a third-party app the will provide the SyncML functionality.
Currently, I'm using Google calendar as the online version of my phone's calendar. I am working with a trial version of Companionlink's software which uses BB's Desktop Manager app ...
I DID IT!!!
Yup...I ordered the Curve. I should have it by Thursday or Friday!
Re: Some Curve Questions
Thanks for your answers. I would be getting a case since I put most of my phones in my pocket. Some cases cover the outer edges of the phone and from the discussion I followed, this seems to be where the dust is getting into the phone.
I posted this link in an earlier message. I assuming that this should do the trick.

Of course, I won't buy one unless I'm sure it will help. That's why I posted the question. ...
Some Curve Questions
Ok, I'm really close to considering this phone. I have some questions.
1) What kind of "over the air" calendar syncing does the Curve have? I'm using goosync for my RAZR v3xx at the moment. Works good.
2) I've heard comments about dust behind the screen. Can a "slip case" that covers the outer parts of the phone solve this issue? I know that would drive me nuts!
3) Any other "gotcha's" that you noticed with this phone only after you started ...
Re: 3rd party apps
Adding to the question...has anyone use MobiPocket reader with this phone? If so, do you have any thoughts?
I use my phone to read ebooks (currently have a RAZR v3xx). I'm interested in the Curve because it has better support and a bigger screen.
Screenshots would be great!

Re: Dust Under the Screen
Would a case cover help? There are some on Crackberry.com that are made of rubber. They leave the screen, keys, etc. exposed. I'm wondering if the case would cover up the "leak spot" where the dust is coming in.
Just wondering...
Can I post a link for the cover?
Re: Dust Under the Screen
My Nokia 3220 had dust. The good thing about that phone is that you can easily take apart it's "shell" pieces for easy cleaning.
How hard was it to take apart and clean the Curve I wonder?
I definitely would need a case if I bought this phone. It will be in my pocket most of the time.
Re: Once and for ALL -- LISTEN !!!
I agree. This is one of the best phones I've ever had. I can almost EVERYTHING with this phone.
Call quality? Sounds great to me. There are times when it gets "bassy", but all you have to do is back off the ear piece slightly and everything is clear. I've only had to do this a couple of times.
Most of the time, the calls are top-notch.
Speaker phone is great!
Great phone for just $40 (bought with an upgrade).
Re: BB Data Plan, or MediaMax200
I love the Opera Mini browser! I really hate the Media Net version...so that's not a problem. So, I guess the only reason I would want BlackBerry Connect is the email right? What else does the extra $15 a month have other than the email service? (The $15 is the "extra" amount it would be if I went to the BB plan).
If the email is only thing and I can download and install Opera Mini...I'm in! lol...
Re: Samsung Sync vs Razr V3xx
I tried the Sync and it really sucked! Aside from the weird interface (which I could have gotten used to), the reception was really bad. I was dropping calls a lot plus I was getting that cutting in and out syndrome.
The RAZR v3xx's call quality is great! It still doesn't beat the reception I had on my old Nokia 3220 (simple phone, but great reception), but then of course NOTHING has beat that phone in terms of reception yet.
The ...
Re: BB Data Plan, or MediaMax200
Blumpelstiltskin:
So are you saying that if I bought a new Curve (no contract, just buying one outright) I can just use the MediaMax 200 which currently have without having to sign up with BlackBerry connect?
I just want the phone. If I don't have the email service, I wouldn't care.
Is this possible?
Re: BB Data Plan, or MediaMax200
I have that same question. I have considering the Curve for some time now. After talking to an AT&T rep, I was told that I would have to sign up for a "BlackBerry Connect" plan that would be $15 more (including additional texting added).
I don't know why you have to upgrade your plan to "BlackBerry Connect" instead of using the MediaMax 200 (which I currently have). I think the only difference is the email support using BlackBerry's service.
The bad ...
v3xx redux review points
I can only submit one review for this phone (which originally was pretty good!). I've had this phone for over a month now and here's an update of things I can do with it.
The phone is still great AND versatile. I don't need a smartphone (Not yet anyway)! Read on....
On my RAZR v3xx I can:
-Read ebooks using MobileLibrary.
-Sync my calendar with my Google calendar using Goosync. My phone has replaced my "hard copy" planner.
-Watch TV Shows and clips from ...
voice/sound recording length
How long can you record a voice memo with this phone? Currently, with my RAZR, I can record as long as I have space on my memory card. The longest recording logged in at an hour and a half!
I like this feature especially when I'm in the creative mood and don' have a pen and paper handy.
Can you do this with the Curve?
other file formats
Is there a "mobile" version of Office for this phone? It would be awesome to view, edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.
access file system and ebooks
Some quick questions:
1) Can you access files on removable storage (transflash) and then use applications (either added or ones that come with the phone) to view them?
2) Can you read PDF files from the transflash? Is there an app that is included to do this?
3) Concerning #2, is there any security "crippling" that prevents you from accessing and opening the files?
I want to read TXT and PDF (or maybe other formats) on this phone. On my RAZR, I used ...
Re: Question
That's a good idea. I'll give it a shot and I'll let you know. Thanks...

Re: Question
I have that plan too with unlimited data! Same phone, same plan. No tethering... I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I even deleted the modem in Hardware Manager so the Phone Tools software could detect it again. No dice. Bummer!
Re: Voice Mail notification won't go away!
Didn't work. I tried both suggestions. I'm not sure what's going on. I'll have to look further I guess. Thanks for the help anyway!
Re: Question
I have the phone tools (latest version) and it will not connect! I've been trying to get that working for a while now. Did you do anything in particular to set it up?
Voice Mail notification won't go away!
The icon at the top of the screen that notifies you that you have a voice mail message is showing even though I have checked and deleted all messages.
There's more to the story. On a whim, I checked my
"Messages" screen where the voice mail message count is shown and it shows one message remaining.
I have checked and deleted all the messages so I don't know what to do to get rid of the "ghost message" and have the ...
Re: I cheated on my Nokia N75
I'll tell you what. If I can read text files from a transFlash card, Adobe PDF files, etc. I'm going with you!
Currently, I can do everything I need on my RAZR v3xx (my choice in lieu of the N75 and its "issues").
I'm waiting for the price to go down, more features and functionality added, and improvements on the original.
Re: V3xx VOICE Call Quality
I did that after a week of having the phone and it fixed my problem as well. I think this is on be default.
Does anybody know what "spatial audio" is?
Re: you tube
I love youtube! The mobile version plays on my v3xx flawlessly! Of course, provided your coverage is good at the time.
I still have crappy coverage at my house. I called AT&T and they mentioned that my house is further from the tower they have in the area. Apparently, they're sending someone to "look into" the issue.
Also, while I had them on the phone, I read them the riot act about 3G. WHEN?! The guy tells me that the towers ...
Re:Bluetooth receiver fm transmitter
I agree! Thanks for the info! :D
Re: fm transmitter
This would be very cool! I'm interested in knowing this as well...
Re: change in functionality
I tried opening a pic that was 2592x1944 and around 4MB. The phone told me that the image was too large to open. I guess there is a limit. What that is, I'm not sure.
I took the same picture and resized to 1024X768 (file size around 150K) and I could view without any problems. Hope that helps!
Re: change in functionality
How big are the pictures, both in file and pixel size?
Re: phone shutting off by itself?
Based on your comment, I tried setting the alarm and then shutting the phone off and it worked!
That aside, I can't explain what happened on that day.
Good to know though! Thanks!
Re: phone shutting off by itself?
Repositioning the battery seems to have fixed the problem for me as well. I did this a while ago and everything seems fine. I know in the UK, there have been numerous complaints about this problem with this phone.
If it happens again, I'll let you know. Hopefully the battery position fix did the trick!
Re: The music player
Correction! This IS the right thread! That's what I get for "multitasking"! lol
Anybody find a fix for this "random shut off feature" of this phone!? :roll:
Re: 3G usage
I do everything you are doing, but I don't use CV as much. Maybe once in a while to access David Letterman's top ten list. :lol:
I think 3G has lot to do with your situation. Also, I do know that CV (or any video for that matter) will drain your battery too.
I'm not in a 3G area....wonder when that will happen! :roll:
Re: music player annoyance
Did the platinum model come out later? What is the firmware number for that model?
In Settings/Phone Status/Other Information/SW Version, I'm using version R26111LD_u_96.71.95R
I'm assuming that despite the different color, you would be using the same one.
I have the grey model which I think came out earlier.
