My sinuses have been throbbing for about a week! I completely became unaware of the sinus infection when I saw the 8300 ooooooo aaaaaaaa I'm excited!

[archer6]

I'm eagerly waiting for dimensions so that it can be compared to the 8700 & 8800 series. A close look at the keyboard shows what appear to be conventional shaped "plain convex top" keys. This would be fantastic. If large enough this model may have the best keyboard of the newer models.

So I got my curve a week ago and went to reply to an email the first time I hit the trach ball then reply, typed my message and went to hit send and it isn't anywhere in the menu....what the heck. Am I doing something wrong? HELP!! AT&T was clueless.

[Mandizzle]

Just upgraded to the 8300 from the Pearl.

Had it for a few hours and loving it so far.

[vwpsst20]

it's been 12 hours since I got mine... and im in heaven.

(one minor note: my personal email accounts: aol, gmail, yahoo etc take a long time for new emails to show up on my device, while my BES is lighting fast... heck I get new emails faster on my curve than on my desktop.)

any thoughts or suggestions? im thinking it's a setting somewhere that I overlooked.

After finishing any call I am getting error message like : "Spllementary Service error: General Error". I am not sure it's due to my carrier. Can any one have same error.

I am having 8300 with Hutch in india.

[robert sreter]

Hi , I'm new to BB and have run into some problems. I would appreciate any suggestions.
1. When I attempt to use the camera it says,Could not start the camera, close other applications and try again.
2. Also when I attempt to transfer media files., the transfer starts and abruptly ends. It says that the media card is full. In fact, its brand new and has almost no media in it.

Thanks for any help.

I Bought A Few Curver And I Unlocked Them For Resale Now I Get This Message Saying That I Need A Pin #.. What Is That? And How Do I Get Rid Of It?

[Deeangoe]

[John Clark]

No. There is no flash for the BB. You can try this:

I don't know if this will help anyone else or not but my issue was resolved was my BB was activated on my company's BES.

I get the exact same service error as well, and I'm with T-Mobile. Must be some type of handset defect. I just hit the OK button and keep on!

I just got a Red Curve from ATT. I have been using a 8703e from Verizon. Does anyone else have the feeling that the Curve wont hold up? The keyboard feels like jello. I really like the features but was wondering if anyone else had the same feelings or how the Curve holds up over time. My wifes 8830 feels rock solid.

Send it back there is something wrong. My new Curve is solid, very solid. The keyboard is the best of all the BlackBerry's I've had in the last year (approx 9). So if you have a keyboard as you describe, AT&T will be happy to exchange your phone for a new one. But get it done soon.

[DEEDLE]

Maybe It's The Design Of The Red One???

[gadgetjunkies]

I Have The Tit. One From T-mo And It Is Super Solid:) ---could It Just Be The Design Of The Red One??? Compare It To The Feel Of Other Curve's --there's probably a difference.:smile:;-)

Glad to know your "Tit" is super solid. :smile:

[grie1]

I have the 8300 Curve from ATT. I purchased the LG HBS - 110 Bluetooth the you can hear your music also. I can hear the music but can not hear incoming calls. They can hear me but I can not hear them. Can you help? Also making calls I can not hear the call connection. Thanks

What's the new OS for 8300 ? & where I can get it.

[amerikim]

Just got my TMO 8320.
Why use BES if there are other solutions like Hotmail, Gmail, etc?
I am only using WiFi right now and understand the need for instant communication but I have WiFi access points every place I need to be.

Anyone know how to us an 8300 as a tethered modem with a macbook. I've install the proper 8300 modem script, configured bluetooth for both the computer and 8300; set up the correct account and password for att/cingular. Unfortunately when I go to connect when it tries to authenicate the user it fails and I get a message saying there was no response from the server.

I have an 8310 from AT&T. I haven't been able to connect it to my headsets, a Jabra BT250v and Motorola H500. Even when it says its connected, there is no connection. Please respond with any advice. Email at blapark@<hidden> or PIN:24274072 Thanks in advance.

I have an 8310 in UK and it is great. However, I want to change the number of rings on the phone but cannot seem to get more than 3. I am missing lots of calls before I can get the phone out. How can I get it to ring continuously (in or out of the holster) until it is either silenced or answered? Thanks.

Contact your wireless provider. They can increase the time before ring up to a max of 30 seconds (usually.)

Use the Roxio Media manager that's included with Desktop Manager. If you want to copy your copywrite protected movies then you'll need to manually convert them. Quite a process at times. Search the Media Forum as there are lots of threads on video conversion.

Where did you purchase the BlackBerry? Was it used?

[John Gabrikh]

BlackBerry 8300 one the best device i had so far !!! Rockssss

[scoutjack]

I'm also new to the forum, in fact new to Blackberry as well. On the new 8320 I just upgraded to, I got the chance to peruse Blackberrys jam packed with knowledge user guide. Its so general in nature, they forgot to mention anywhere how to reset the alert prompts. Specfically the message and email alerts. I know this probably sounds like a real newbie question, but I was hoping for some benevolent soul out there who would take pity on me. Also, can anyone point me in the right direction to find out more about MMS and SMS messaging? How do I keep emails out of the messaging folder? Do I have to use one of the preset ones (AOL, MSN etc) for text messages?
I'm sure I could sit on the phone for an hour with customer service, but I wanted to join this forum and decided I'd try here first. Thanks

Welcome and congratulations.

Software go here:

Aftermarket Software - BlackBerryForums.com : Your Number One BlackBerry Community (http://www.blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/)

And as for Outlook install Desktop Manager that came with your phone and it will link to Outlook and allow you to sync.

Also check out:

Main Page - BlackBerryFAQ.com (http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Main_Page)

[John Clark]

Welcome to the forums.

Might be a great time to use the search bar at the top of the forum. We have an Aftermarket software forum that has lots of downloads for apps.

Also, there should have been a CD that came with your device that has the Desktop Manager software needed for syncing your contacts in MS Outlook. If you have no CD you can download the software from here:

BlackBerry - BlackBerry - Sys Req V4-2 Pack 2 (http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/req_4dot2_sp2.jsp;jsessionid=E4D2C95203F66001DB33DFCEF160F90F)

I have got my BlackBerry 8300 and that all what i want!!

[ukulele]

AT&T only allows the use of your BB as a tethered modem if you pay them $60.00 a month for the access. I pay $30.00 a month for unlimited use of their Edge server, but I found out by asking their REP that it is only for phone use.

Hmmm. The things they didn't tell me when I signed up with this outfit!

[Hasnul]

Hi All, juz got my 8320 bout two weeks ago, so far everything is well and good. Looooove it !!!! 8-)
