Address Book phone # default

Call me a late bloomer, but I just got my 1st PDA smartphone and love my new Curve. Question - is there a way to change the default when adding a received or previously called number to the address book. Currently, when asked if I want to add the number to the address book, it automatically get enters in the"work" field. Most folks I talk to are cell numbers - is there a way to change the default to add the number to "mobile" instead?

Best AT&T Smartphone??

I may be switching to AT&T soon for my new job, and need to get a smartphone for email/work purposes. However, I want all the features I like with Sprint (Sprint TV, ringer, music downloads, etc. - I think they have a version of MobiTV, and Video downloads). Does anyone know what the best phone is that AT&T offers? I know they will be rolling out 3G coverage here within the next couple months, so I was searching through the 3G phones online too. I was looking at the Blackjack, the Curve, the Pearl, or the Treo 750.. the 8525 seems too bulky to me. I also want a camera. It seems like, with what I want (camera and 3G services), that I am down to the Blackjack and Treo. I'm not sure though. Cost isnt a concern, nor are the additional da...

8300 won't receive text to one another..

This is a weird one, and ATT Tech Support can't figure it out and wasted quite a lot of my time doing the "check list" diagnosis...

My buddy and I both have a 8300 Curve BB. We can send and receive text messages just fine, to our wives, friends, everyone... EXCEPT him and I. I can't send to him, he can't send to me. It doesn't give an error message, just goes to no mans land. I guess the fact is: we do not RECEIVE one another text messages that we send to one another (they sure get billed, so it's sent to some server) we just can't receive it.

Any idea??

Voice memo running time of one minute?

Is there a way to extend this with additional memory, i have a voice recorder now that i use to take meeting minute for some extensive construction meeting and i would like to use my curve to merely extricate the sound into a text file.

I guess I'm a little slow!

Thoughts on iPhone, Blackberry or Motorola Q Global from experienced users!

Just looking for people who have used all three devices - personally, I am not all that impressed with Windows Mobile. Just seems unimpressive!

I mostly use the device for (outside of being a phone!) text messaging and email - would use more for managing contacts and extension of Outlook with a good UI.

For those that have used all three, which do you prefer and what do you like about each ... if you had to get one now, which device? (course, if I was going for the iPhone I would hold out for G3).

Thank you!

Curve Outlook Inbox USB Sync

Confirm that there is NO WAY to do this except over the air? I can USB sync my Outlook calendar and contact, but only the INBOX email folder tree shows up on the Curve. The folders are all empty.

Phone as a modem?

I understand there is some patch that can be found to sync a Curve via USB to your computer and use it as a modem? Is that true? I know you can pay extra money and get the tethering service but I would rather find the patch. I have tried google.com and crackberry.com and none seem to turn up results.

Alarm?

I have a 4 gb card for my curve and I want to have a song wake me up in the morning. When I select a song, it only plays for about 30 seconds and starts over again. Is there a way to make the entire song play as my alarm?

Also for those who have Opera Mini 4 everytime I try and install it it says failed to connect to the internet however I have full bars (UMA or EDGE). Anyone expierence these dilemmas before? Thanks

G.O.A.T.

Thought my 8300 was the best device I'd ever encountered.

THEN THEY MADE A LIAR OUTTA ME!

The enhanced 8310 with GPS is now, hands down, THE best device, personal and/or business related on the market to date! It is CON-less. It is the G.O.A.T.

(and it's shiny like a holiday too!)

MORE PROBLEMS

Periodically, while browsing the web, watching a movie, on google maps, or just completly randomly, the phone just turns off and reboots. It doesn't happen all that often. Maybe like 2-3 times a week.

Is this normal? my friend has one and it doesn't happen to him, he also doesn't have all the media i have put on my mediacard.

I put 2 movies each about 300mb, some music, and some pictures. One day the blackberry wouldn't even read the card. I tried taking it in and out, rebooting a few times. nothing. Put the card in my cardreader for the computer, and it wouldn't show up. SOOO I reformatted it to the blackberry and put all the stuff back on, but hopefully it doesn't do that agian when i have more stuff on that I can't back up.

help ...
