Free Karma but is it worth it for 2 years?
Walmart is currently offering this phone for free but I'm a little discouraged because I'm a happy blackberry curve user (happy except for the random resets) However AT&T now requires all data phones to have a 30.00 data plan...yes I'm a weirdo that only uses it for the other functions and rarely the internet...which means I'll have to migrate to a different "class" of phone than what I am use to but I know I'll need a qwerty keypad ...

Re: Slow acting bb and how to delete ALL text at once
Did you try my other suggestion? The newest msg is at the top of the inbox usually which will avoid u scrolling...again, highlight the newest msg only, hit options button (left of trackball) choose delete prior and it should clear all of the old text...other than those two suggestions I don't know of any other ways. Shift held + b or t only takes u to the bottom or top of pages fast...least that's all I've found they do.

Re: Slow acting bb and how to delete ALL text at once
Yes, by holding shift (the button with arrow up and aA, in either bottom corner) then use your trackball to highlight the ones u want to delete OR highlight the newest msg hit your options button (to the left of trackball) choose delete prior...these steps also work for emails...and your welcome

Re: VZW is getting the CURVE
my post was made to make the point that fancy ph or not...its your network that makes a difference...you are only as good as your network, verizon has faster speeds than at&t which was why i posted the story of both users testing them side by side, currently the curve is not with verizon, we just got the pearl and we have the 8830...no curve... no info released to cust care we will be getting the curve...just because you ...

Re: Brick Cingular Phone

ok, is this a glitch or is your 6682 doing it too
i've done so much research to find the answer to why this phone was able to do the following with its "bluetooth capabilities" and still no answers:
--when having a bluetooth single ear bud connected (mine is a plantronics 640, 1.2 version) and the ph rings, the tone is played on the phone and thru the ear bud...nice!
--when recording a video and the ear bud is connected the sound is recorded not thru the ph but thru the bud instead ...
Re: ok so lets talk the good, bad, and ugly!!!
oh btw...do you own this ph?? if so, have you tried a regular bluetooth ear bud with it?? i want my music and tones to be heard thru a regular bt bud, not have to lag around the stereo hs i bought (or use "wires" especially at work) and by the way aaaaamen to smart phone crashes...my pearl sux :cry: that's why i'm researching so hard, had a rough yr with 6 nokia 6682's then 6 pearl's ...
Re: ok so lets talk the good, bad, and ugly!!!
i'm not important enough to care about emails :D ...lets say ins. can cover me...if i have issues is it pretty obvious that its been unlocked, can i ever lock it again just in case ins has an issue with it??
Re: ok so lets talk the good, bad, and ugly!!!
kewl thanks :wink: ...but how do i get the unlock code?? at&t wont just give it to me by calling the cust care team will they?? if i do unlock it and it was technically bought from at&t how does that effect insurance coverage? (they told me they wont cover a ph purch unlocked and i want to carry insurance)

Re: Headphones

I personally find this phone ergonomical, it has everything right where it needs to be... i like bar style phones better than clamshell because it offers quick access to the main menu and other key features, what would you consider a good looking phone?
