Thanks for you suggestion. That worked, but it's not a satifactory solution for me. I use this as a business tool and get about 20-30 text messages a day during the week plus phone calls so having to reset it every few weeks (actually it took only about 2 weeks at my message load to get slow and then I just sort of suffered with it for another week trying things like deleting messages and other non-essential items) is not going to work. God- I really miss the 950 days and the original Mobiex network- that was truly their best device. Then when they started to combine, everthing went haywire: the PDA's don't have speakerphones (except the 7520 which I've tried and had horrible voice quality here in LA) and the ones without speakerphones are uncomfortable as a phone but great PDAs. I'm discounting the 7100s in that last statement because they're new but to me the Sure-type thing is a "sure-miss" (but oh so close
)
Sure-Type has not worked out very well for me because if you make typos it can be doubly-difficult to recover as the device tries to 'guess' whcih of the two letters you typed wrong!
I really, really liked the 7100g, but besides the "crawls" issue, I've had lots of "inputting error: resetting software" errors and several "uncaught exceptions"-I think 4.0 is not that stable.
If I were to downgrade to 3.8 wouldn't I lose attachment viewing?
Anyway, I think I'm going to trade this in for a 7290 and go back to carrying two devices: BB for data/sms/email/wap and my good old trusty V60s on VZW for voice and car use, UFN.
Come'on RIM: Make a decent PIM/PDA/Fully Qwerty/Speakerphone device(that's not on Nextel)- Treo almost got it right but I'll never leave BB.
How about CDMA RIM?????
