BlackBerry Curve 8330

I got my curve 8339 a little over a week ago. When I first got it, the internet loaded pages rather quickly. For the past few days, it takes three minutes or longer to load the basic msn webpage. I haven't downloaded any applications yet, nor have I even set up my email on it. I tried closing every application to see if that was the problem. Any ideas on what I can do? I am using the phone in New Jersey just outside of NYC, so signal isn't the issue. Do I need to do a *228 update like I did on my old phone? Any advice is appreciated.

I'm confused, i've called Sprint and BB directly and no one has an answer. I recently set up my corporate e-mail on my Curve. It worked fine for a couple of hours, but now I don't recieve corporate e-mails. I still get calender updates and can compose using my corporate e-mail, i just don't recieve them. The IT people began talking about BES and BIS and what I had. They just confused me even more. If it had anything to do with the account I have, why would it have worked in the beginning? And why can i send e-mails and recieve calender updates? Anyone out there having similar problems?

I just got my bill from Sprint with a flyer inside, 🙄 regarding the new Samsung Instinct that is being released on June 20th. It states that the Simply Everything Plan offer ends 10/31/08 and to find out more on the Instinct go to 🙄

I do not want the vzw navigation...and I havent tried going to google.com and pulling up there maps.......but the 8330 curve has a featured icon with maps as well as a directions option on the home screen. This feature is great, it seems to work really well. Is this what everyone is talking about being disabled? if not than whats wrong with this instead of G Maps. Im just confused on what everyone is complaining about in regards to the gps/map features. Im new to the crackberry 8330 and just trying to figure it out. Thanks.

I activated my curve last night and I had somebody send picture mail to me just to test it. It showed up "you have picture mail" and i was able to click on the link to view the picture. Today someone else sent picture mail and I couldn't click on the link at all. I had the person that sent it to me the first time send the same one and the same thing happened. the url isn't showing up as a link, just text and I'm not able to view the picture but I was able to last night. Any suggestions?

I ordered my BB Curve today! 😁

I'm going to be SOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOL now! 😎

Why are we only allowed 160 characters in a text? Can we change this?

Does anyone know if there's a way to bypass the ringer / sound profile settings and manually set the sound/vibrate mode for each type of event on my 8310 Curve?

Basically I want the phone to vibrate if I get a call, but do nothing if I get an email. It's driving me crazy that I can't set these things independently and that I must chose a "profile". The "vibrate" profile vibrates when I get emails, and the "phone only" profile is silent on emails but rings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I must be doing something wrong. When I go to youtube I can bring everthing up on the site, but when I try and play a video it tells me something like "Not available for Mobile" I know you can play youtube videos on this phone, so what am I doing wrong?

I have a couple of quetions:

-I know someone posted this earlier, but I couldn't find it. When someone sends me picture mail i get the link and it worked the first time, but now it seems I can't click the link. There's a fix for this i just couldn't find the previous post.

-Is there a way to setup send SMSText message as a shortcut. I have my convinience key to compose, but its a hastle because compose can mean call,text or e-mail and it will do whatever the last action you peformed on that contact was.

Thanks and Appreciate it.

I have a Mac and would love to sync my Blackberry with it, however, I am not familiar with either the PocketMac or MissingSync. Is anyone familiar with either software? If so, which one would you recommend?!?!?!?!?!

Currently I have the 8830 and a MAC. I'm using pocketmac to sync everything and am not totally satisfied with the results.
I've tried entourage and macs email, address book, iCal, etc...all with the same so so results.
If I have something in my calender for 5pm, when I sync it I now the same event listed at 7am and 5pm, and they're tripled up in my to do list and I never put them there in the first place.

And things in my to do list all get synced to the same time no matter time I had it set for.
So if I had some at 8am and then 9am-11:30am, it would all be synced for noon.

Another problem I've had when I sync, I have it set to sync emails sent from my BB so my inbox is identical.
What ends happening is all the emails go to my inbo...

for those who care and requested one from me my review is up 🙂 lets just say i'm still 🤤 over this phone 😉

Has anyone downloaded and used the newest Verzion of Opera Mini for the Sprint Curve, and if so whats your honest opinion about this browers?

How the hell do you turn the ring tone volume up on this thing..lol

I followed the directions that say go to menu, then options, then click general options but i don not see any of that under options 😕

just slap please

Does anyone know how to get Yahoo Messenger to work on the Sprint Curve. The application is on the phone already but when I try to log into it I get this error "service not enabled for this Device" Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know what the indicator means that looks like a bullseye? I get it when sending an email with a picture attachment. Which takes forever, by the way!

Do most of you visit this forum and others from your phone or do you wait till you're at a computer?

Me honestly, I've tried forums from my BB and tend to get impatient.

I was wondering if it is possible to stream video online with the blackberry? I am trying to watch my TV shows on it from NBC, but I cannot get the media player to work. Is it possible, do i need another application, or are my hopes to high? Thanks.

I'm in need of a new phone and my choice are narrowed down to the Verizon Curve or the iPhone. The AT&T network and no keyboard is holding me back from the iPhone and the browser is holding me back on the Curve.

So... how does the Internet browser function? I have a 8700 and the mobile only browsing is pretty bad. Is there HTML browsing on the Curve? If not, is the Curve at least better than my 8700?

Any other inputs on Curve vs iPhone is appreciated (but try to not ignore my main questions above).

Thanks!
