Has anyone had any luck having their PC that's running Windows Professional x64 connect to their blackberry device via USB? HP workstations with a 8700c Blackberry.

Hi folks.

Just got my Blackberry 7130e, and am enjoying it immensely. One question, though - I cannot get onto BlackChat due to bad DNS address or something. Is there anything I can do about that?

You mind telling us what legal reason there is that would cause you to pay money for IMEIs?

you can not transfer pictures from laptop to bb, through usb cable. Though you can email that picture from a dekstop/laptop to your BB.

One other thing. Pictures are NOT backed up by the Desktop Manager backup routine. Once you file them in the Pictures app, the only things you can do with them is look at them (from Pictures), is to set one as your wallpaper, or send them to someone else via BB Messenger.

Your best bet is to email them to your BB, Open the email and open all the picture attachments (and then save them to to Pictures), and then save the message. You will then have the picture saved in the message, where they will be backed up to the BES (if you're set up that way), or can be backed up with Desktop Manager's backup routine. That way, if (WHEN) you have to wipe your BB, you'll have the pics in your saved messages where you can retrieve them and re-save them to Pictures. If you don't do this, you will loose all pictures except those that come with the device (marked with a padlock) on a wipe.
--------------------------------------------------------
Update - although you can't transfer them to a computer, you can backup and restore MP3's (Ring tones) and Pictures. They are held in the Content Store on Desktop Manager 4.1's Backup / Restore applet.

Had my BB about 3 weeks now and have managed to put in the wrong theme and had to reinstall the OS, information I found here!

Check it every day, very impressed with the level of expertise and help available here!

Yeah, i hate to say it but those old devices are going to become QUICK paperweights. Our company switched us to the Treo700w when they were FIRST released, within 2 days our IT dept had over 10,000 messages from agents and users wanting to go back to blackberry. It was awesome. I love my blackberry, been using then since 00'. If you like the ease of getting your e-mail and not into all that other fancy stuff like "playing games on your device, taking pictures, stuff like that; you are going to LOVE your new blackberry. If you got questions let me know. You can PIN message me, post or email whatever works best for you.

U could just use the wipe handheld option. That will delete EVERYTHING so caution. It will be like the thing just came out of the factory.

[strobate]

It will keep the security password.

Oh, mine deletes everything and its mother. It even deleted brick breaker once, don't know how that happened. My 7250 has issues though.

[strobate]

Whoop. My bad. JLCommander will keep the security password.
