is there any way to raise the volume on the 7290? when u recieve calls it is soooooo low and the volume is all the way up! any downloads available to raise it?

Manny, no, there are no "volume" updates.
Is that an old BB, could it just be bad?

I purchased it on ebay......enough said w/ that......but I've heard that the volume on it when u get a call was one of the negative remarks about it....didnt know it was that low though.

I find that yes the volume is low, but using that high volume with the vibrate works pretty well.

Try an external earpiece and see if it is better. The speaker inside may be bad if it is used.

No my father has bought a bunch of 7290 thats just the way the volume is unless u get a external headset
