BlackBerry Curve 8300

I don't suppose there's any software that can be added that would make video capture possible on the Curve?

I saw that amazon.com has the blackberry curve for $0.01 my question is since i already am a customer do i just extend my contract or what? are these brand new phones? this would be my first time getting a phone from amazon.com so im not sure what to do 🙂 any help would be appreciative 🙂 like would i have to check my plan i have now and add bb personal and unlimited text? I NEED GIUDANCE LOL thanks guys

Is there a software update for the curve to 3G?

currently use the moto Q thinking of switching to the 8830 but would love to get the curve if anybody knows when we might get it on verizon. that would be great

Try this: Set the trackball sound to Click(Options>Screen/Keyboard>Audible Roll>Click, this is the default anyway), then when a call comes in and your ringtone is playing or ringing, roll the trackball. Does the ringtone turn to static and become garbled?? I have tried two Curves and it happens on both. If I mute the Audible Roll the problem is eliminated, but having that clicking sound can be helpful when navigating the browser. Wondering if anyone else has this problem?

I am considering the Curve after coming from the Blackjack. One thing that works well with Windows Mobile is Active Sync. It does a great job of syncing my appointments, tasks and contacts. Can I expect the same with the Blackberry Desktop software.

Is there a "mobile" version of Office for this phone? It would be awesome to view, edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.

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 an app to read text files, but would want the PDF functionality with this phone.

Also, the calendar MUST work both on the syncing and reminders since this is a selling point for me. The phone will be my organizer as well.

Thanks in advance for any answers to my questions and adv...

Hi I am going to purchase a blackberry curve and I was wondering if the 10mb plan will be sufficient. I will use the internet to only occasionally look at movie times, scores, and a few random websites such as facebook. Also will this data plan be enough if I use the opera mini 4 browser. thank you

I just switched from the Pearl to the Curve and I have the same settings for my phone ringer - Vibrate + Tone. On the Pearl this seemed to work correctly-it would vibrate the number of times I had it set to then ring continuously until answered or VM. On my Curve it will vibrate then ring ONCE then go back to vibrating. Why?

I was under the impression, that if i downloaded the browser from opera that it would operate the same way as the iphone, and give me the full version of the internet? is this the case, if so...what is the correct version for the Blackberry Curve. If it is not possible, then it would be pointless to do so

does anyone know of a instant messaging client that uses data opposed to texts for the blackberry? i used octro with my blackjack; but octro dosnt support blackberrys.

I am new to the Blackberry world. My new curve works well, but I keep receiving e-mail messages, which I think are somehow automatically generated by Blackberry, Yahoo or AT&T. The top of the message says: "OZMAIL."

The "from" on the last message says:
3020:3708/3708.

These messages appear on the Curve, but are not present on my Yahoo Mail.

Is anyone else encountering this? Is there a way I can stop these messages from filling my inbox?

Thanks.

I know my calculus, this phone is awesome, it did everything I could imagine on my vacation and then some. By the way, if you don't have google maps yet hoop it up like a tow truck.

ok I got the blackberry curve today, I love it except for one MAJOR problem... every time I make or receive a call, or try to go on the internet, the phone just restarts. I was in the middle of a call and it just restarted every time I tried to reconnect. And now every time im on the internet it restarts. after paying 317 bucks for this thing I'm extremely frustrated. has anyone else had this problem??

I tried taking the battery out , no luck.

Really, how good is this phone?? Almost all "professional reviews" I have read has said this is an "good" phone, but lags in reception/call quality (compared to recent new releases) and the camera, which both are important to me. With consumer reviews, I have read amazing things on phone scoop, including how good the camera is and how they are getting great call quality even in the worst of areas, but only mixed reviews on cnet. I have also heard mixed reviews about the quality (i.e. screen breaks after a 3 ft drop and dust underneath the screen) on all sites. So what gives? Why are professional websites like PCmag, cnet, etc saying on thing, but then great reviews on here?

Thanks for any insite....

Does anyone know which software is good for transfering itunes, photos etc from a mac onto my BB. Preferably free download but willing to pay if I have to.

The PC Manager that comes with curve doesn't load on mac. Thanks

Thought it might be a good idea if we shared what extras we purchased for the curve and how they are working for us. Everything below is working great for me - the companies delivered all in a timely fashion.

Hey everyone!

I will agree that the current silver/black Curve is an outstanding color combination.

However, I've been reading that it may be released in solid black as well, which I prefer over current version.

Can anyone provide any insight to this possible color option release?

Thank you! 🙂

i think it was 199.99 with out a mail in rebate. I couldn't understand what the lady was saying. regardless i cant wait for this phone to come so I can get rid of my crap jack (blackjack)What a time i had ordering the phone though. I must have called cingy like 15 times today. and each time i either got hung up on, disconnected or..i just hung up bc the rep didn't know what they were talking about. So it should be here by tuesday. I just hope after talking to all those reps that the order went through okay. Is there anything importaint I should know about this phone ??
