Hello all,
We are running Bes 4.01 for Domino 5.0.13 ( I know, we are supposed to upgrade soon to version 7.x...)
We also have 70 CrackBerries on the road. In V-P's hands...
I'm glad I found this site, it will surely help us...

[josejimenez5]

When someone calls and the call is stored on the screen, sometimes a letter appears on the right side of number. Can someone tell me what the symbols mean on the 7250?

Have you tried BlackBerry Messenger? You can add anyone who has a BB to your contact list and if they accept your invite then you can chat back and forth. I use it with a team of 20 people. It is great. Here is the link if you are interested. It is free from RIM. http://www.blackberry.com/messenger/entry.do

I have already installed two third party apps: VeriChat and WebViewer. I had issues with both which I was quickly able to resolve thanks to this INCREDIBLE forum.

I look forward to learning more and sharing what I learn!

Thanks!

I purchased my 1st, the 7100g last spring & will probably be purchasing an 8700 next month, & a 7130 in June. I didn't really need one... but I'm a net junky & anything keeping me connected is something I want.

Hello... as an intro, I don't have a blackberry, yet. I am in the middle of my research, and I am trying to figure out if the extra money for the 8700c is worth is, as I can get an unlocked 7290 fo $199... if anyone has any thoughts, please share via pm... otherwise, I look forward to learning as much as possible on this forum.

Cheers!!!

[lflores]

I've had my 7100i for 2 months now, and I can't figure out ho to download ringtones. Everything else is cool, but just can get any tunes. Help!!

[Gadgetgurl]

I've had y BB for a year (7100T w/TMobile) and I'm just learning all the cool features! I originally got it so my son's teachers could contact me at any time...little did I know....!!

[wineguy]

I've had my company Blackberry 7290 now for about 3 months. Without this site, it would be the same boring Blackberry like everyone else's. Thanks for all the great custom tips!

I want to send a message to me deaf brother, but I am not sure how to, or if this is the right site to send a message to his Blackberry.

[paulmac]

New to the world of Blackberrys but looking forward to what I can learn and contribute once I get a better undestanding of my blackberry. Might read and search more than I will post at first. But have belonged to similar forums for my cell phones, and love to figure out how to hack into them, so looking forward to figure that out on the BB and hope to share what I learn.

[tiberius]

Hey all, I am new here too, just got my Telus 7250 this past Friday, looks like I got alot of learning to do, already uploaded my email contacts from Outlook, got my home email going to the BB too, I just gotta find some different themes...

[nican17]

Hello everyone, I'm a proud new member of this awsome site that provides the best and useful information for my phone... I'm going to be bugging many people with stupid questions, so please have patience!!!!!!!

[Spicoli]

Hello to all.

I've been in IT for about 4 years now and recently I got 'thrown' into the Blackberry support position at my office. We have over 380 BB users currently on the BB Enterprise Server, and for the most part it runs itself. Of the 380 current users, only about 5 of those are using their personally bought BB's and the rest are supplied by the company, which I support. About 80% are using 7230's and the rest are using 7290's.

There's not a day that goes by that I'm not on the phone with RIM Sometimes wiping clean, even using javaloader.exe, does not solve some problems. This can drive a sane man crazy!! Oh well, I like to learn and hope to learn a lot from this forum, as well as help out as much as I can.

So, being the newby, the first round is on me

[snotty54]

Hi Everyone,

Glad to be aboard, forum has already helped me gain admin rights back to my property. I am just a user who likes to be in control, so I'll have the greatest opportunity to learn here.

[Trivia69]

Okay this should be a fun ride... Girlfriend just got a new 7130i and I'm tech support so guess I get to learn about the 7130i although I don't have the phone with me I am the one that will have to do all the research and development for her... Woot!! It's a good thing I love her.

[genci]

Hi folks. Nice to hear there is a forum for BB. I used to havea nokia 9500 but BB seems much more complicated to me. I am trying to charge it but as soon as I plug the power adapter there is an icon indicating there is no battery. Can someone help? whats the matter with it?thanks

[Evil Sports]

I am SO glad I found this site before I went and made a fatal mistake like getting a 700w

[pierre15208]

I'm a new BlackBerry addict having bought a 7230 off ebay. Great Deal too. I love this thing!!! Great battery life, nice display, just upgraded to BB OS 4.0 on the handheld which came off w/o a hitch, and I'm using it on T-Mobile. Now I know why people call these things CrackBerrys

[EricaJ1074]

Hi everyone. New to this forum but not new to BB. Have had a little over 4 years experience with them. I am a CrackBerry addict, having used a 950, 2 7730's, 2 7100t's and now a 7105t. Hope I can help out whoever needs help.

Just curious, but how can you be new and have over 120 posts at the same time?

[chirayu]

I have gotten a lot of help from here and glad to be a member now.

[Seattle18]

Welcome aboard...and Happy Easter!

At 11 posts per day - a very prolific new user! lol

So, that said, I regged yesterday (having just found this life-line!!) and have already learned a TON! Why are there no user/admin forums @ blackberry.net?!?!?

Maybe now we can keep our ~100 BB7290s running without constantly re-EAing them...

Thanks much for a HUGE resource!

[Seattle18]

Welcome aboard, Brian.

[krish]

I have been a BES admin for about a year & finally got a device. I support 100 BB's currently, soon to be adding some in the Netherlands & China. I found this site while trying to resolve upgrade issues. Thanks for the help I've already received.

[ROBBYROB]

new user here. 1st BB for me and being that i was already a nextel user i stayed with nextel and got the 7100i. Hope i can learn some things while helping out the forum.

[davehennen]

Hi, I just signed up. I'm the network guy for a small company with four BB 7520s. I don't think we're using them to their potential so I'm looking forward to digging into the forums for information and tips

Thanks,

[tprime]

Hello to all. I'm a NYC TMOBILE blacberry user. I've recently upgraded to a 8700g. I bought my first blackberry 8 months ago(a 7100t). I have been hooked since. I love using the device one handed. Multitasking at it's best. I've actually been reading this forum for some time. I've used many of the 'hacks'. Like the CSL for 4.0 for my 7100t and Zen theme for 8700g).My advice to other newbies dont be afraid. Once they work It's like a new phone.

[NawlinsBlackberry]

Thanks - this is very helpful.

[dcc109]

Just got my 8700c last night, charged it up and I have been messing with it on and off today. This thing is great, will be getting rid of my Dell Axim now. I cant believe how fast the EDGE speed is here in the Harrisburg PA area. This site is great and was a big deciding factor between a BlackBerry and a Treo.

Keep up the good work.

[Stevieboyqt]

im like a little kid waiting for my 7130... im actually an employee for verizon wireless , iv been using a treo 650 for the last..... 6 months just got a 7130 so... id be definatly willing to help anyone with questions about verizon if they could help me out getting this goin.

Hello everyone. I'm from Ireland, connected to O2 Ireland and have had 3 blackberry's in as many years. Starting with the 7230 then the 7290 and now the 8700g. Sweet phone which I've now had for nearly a month. Love that opera browser too!

[JayCnrs]

I'm new to the Blackberry world and look forward to digging in more, we are supporting more and more BBs so decided to do some research. Nice to find a site such as this.

[Mr. Magoo]

Hello all,
I'm really glad I found this site - I stumbled upon it when I was searching for EVDO information. I, and about 15 other managers in our organization have been using 7250's on a BES deployment for around 6 months now I guess. The term 'CrackBerry' is certainly not far off - once you've tried it, you'll never be happy with anything else ever again.

Nice to be here, great site, and I look forward to learning more.

Cheers,

~Magoo

[Hondasteve]

HI all. I am new here and I have just procured the fabulous 8700g. Needless to say, I am excited that there is so much information here to be gleaned! I am a relatively new BB user and look forward to unlockiong all the device has to offer.

Thanks to the mods and all others who contribute to this site-I have already learned much!
