I have been reading and reading and reading on this forum for a long time. Thank you to all who contribute, I have learned so much about this little electronic device I love so much...

Here is my question(s):

I have a BB 7520 (NEXTEL). I have noticed, when I have Ramble or VeriChat running in the background, most of the time my BB doesn't ring when receiving a call, instead I just get a voicemail notification, if they leave a VM, sometimes instantly, sometimes not until I actually make a phone call. So, obviously these programs are using data and consequently keeping the BB in data mode and sending my incoming calls directly to voice mail.

Is there any way to stop this from happening (settings)? The type of work I do requires me to keep an IM connection (AIM most importantly). And since the 7520 doesn't support full SMS service, I am stuck using a third party program.

What about SMS on the 7520, I have read a lot here and other places.....

Is it just a rumor or are they really going to give us SMS with 4.1? Is 4.1 ever going to make it to the 7520? What about the 8700 on NEXTEL? (Sorry for the late barrage of questions..lol)

I thank all in advance for any light that you can shed on my questions. Mark?

Thank you,

Auggie
