Just got the little b***** 8130 pearl today and cant figure this thing out yet

-How do i use the pim.vol document for all my contacts that i saved on my computer to get my contacts to the pearl

-i put about 30 pictures on the phone and now have no space left for anything else what gives?

-is there a way to explore the inner documents and what not on this phone i havnt figured it out yet

Reviewing User's Guide would be a good place to start...

Welcome to the forums! (Please watch the language..)

1.) Do you have access to the PIM that generated the document? You will need to install the Desktop manager on your PC, it will then easily synch your contact and calendar from the PIM (OUtlook, etc.).

2.) You really need to get a Media Card (Most of the BB is reserved for what it does best (Email).

3.) Not sure I understand the question. Can you please re-state it?

Good Link to start with:

8100 Series FAQ's - BlackBerryFAQ

Enjoy!

E-

already did that did i miss the section where it answered my questions?

Way to get help..

Did you read the FAQs?

Did you realize that the device only has 64mb TOTAL and you simply can't load pictures onto it. Get a memory card.

Did you read the memory optimization thread?

Good luck..

Sorry bout the language every forum differes on that

1 I saved the pim.vol document off of a motorola Q then sold it so the documnet is jsut sitting in a folder and not sure where to go from there to get it to change it with the pim.vol on my new phone if it even has one

I installed and worked with the desktop manager for awhile and didnt find the stuff i was looking for unless it is hidden for weetodds like me

2i have a 512 sd in there should i just keep all the pictures and what not on that?

3in my old phone i could explore the folders on the phone its self the sensitve applications and what not and thats where i would upload stuff to

BTW thanks for ur quick reply

1. That format is not readable by a BlackBerry. Save the PIM information to Outlook or some other PIM and sync it with the BB.

2. Yes.

3. You can't really look at the BB structure. If you want to delete unnecessary themes and applications, see the Optimizing Memory thread.

well then ill just take my pics off the main memory and put it on the SD that i have

and i did not read the memory opt thread i will look for that right now

and i dont like reading faq's they have big words and no pictures but maybe ill give it a shot

Do you have access to any sort or PIM? Like Outlook? If so import the PIM.VOL into that and then you can synch to your phone.

Yes, move all pictures and files to the SD. You might want to get a larger one. Make sure that you delete them off the device memory.

Your only folders will really be on the Media Card. You can explore the Media Card via the Media icon on the phone or the Desktop Manager.

Thanks ill play with that right now (y)

I moved them and i will be getting a bigger one i have a 2mb sd but its not the micro that the pearl ask for so i have the 512 till i get a new one

So i got all my contacts into Microsoft Office now how do i sync them from there to the phone?

Using Desktop Manager. There is a menu item that says "Syncronize". Choose that and follow the prompts, selecting Outlook as the source.

I clicked on the sync button but it wont let me chose a source or if it does where is the button?

ok got that part just took about 5 min of sitting there not responding

Should be two tabs at the top, "Syncronize" and "configure". Choose the Configure tab. Choose Configure Sync from that page. Your BB will need to be connected to allow you to choose it.

yeah i think i got it syncing right now so we will see once it is done

lmao it seems so easy :razz:
