BB Curve 8310 4.5 different?

I have just learned about the new OS 4.5 for the BB curve 8310. What is the difference from it and the 4.2, which I have. and is it worth the 90 MB it will take to download it?

ATT has not authorized or released the upgrade. However, many many ATT and other users are upgrading anyway. You can find it here:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8300-series-discussion-curve/153055-latest-os-8310-4-5-0-108...
After any OS upgrade or OS reload you have to reactivate on the BES. Just call your BES admins and get a password to reactivate. They do it all the time and it's no big deal.

Car cradle for Blackberry Curve 8310?

I have what may be kind of a silly question, but I'd love to find an answer. I have a Blackberry Curve 8310 that I LOVE and I just downloaded Telenav GPS for it. It works great, but I was wondering if there is some kind of cradle for my Blackberry that I can purchase so I can put it on my dash making it easier to see while driving?
Thanks so much!!
Sarah

I have the vent mount and love it. It is adjustable for different sizes. I had the 7290, 8700 and now the 8310 and it fits all of them good.

BB Curve 8310 and BB e-mail account

Hello,
I changed my provider from Vodafone to 1&1 recently and since that I cannot create a new Blackberry E-Mail BIS account, means -> I cannot send or receive E-Mails on my BB. It worked with Vodafone OK.
The old account with Vodafone was deleted (checked and confirmed by Vodafone Service Desk).
When I try to create a new account with 1&1, the error message is "Your device is not registered with your service provider".
But it is registered, I received a registration SMS already with the new SIM card.
Does anybody know what the reason could be ?
The software on my BB Curve 8310 is 4.5.0.188. Can I install a newer version 5.0 on that device ?
Is the software a problem?
Thanks for any tip. Rgds, CR

Yes, 1&1 confirmed I have booked a BB Option (Data Plan), but still cannot create the BIS account.
I found out some more interesting things:
I have 3 BB 8310 with a T-Mobile brand on it and 1 BB 8310 with an O2 brand on it.
ALL 4 devices have the same software 4.5.0.188 installed (the latest available).
ALL 4 devices have NO simlock, means I can make calls and send/rec. SMS ok with 1&1.
I CAN create the BIS account with the O2-Brand BB 8310 and send/receive e-mails OK.
(but unofretunately is phone is defective and switches off after 5 minutes, so I cannot permanently use it).
I CANNOT create the BIS account with the 3 T-mobile branded BBs.
2 of them have been wiped and I installed them completely fresh.
ALL 4 Devices worked formerly ok with Vodafone and BIS.
I checked with T-Mobile and Vodafone, and they confirmed both, that there are no registrations of any of the devices with them. Accounts have been deleted.
Why do the 3 T-Mobile branded BBs not work via 1&1 for the BIS e-mail / Internet service account ?
What is different on the T-Mobile branded phones ? Do I need to install a patch / unlock code for BIS to work ?
Can I send a free request to Blackberry Support and if yes, what is their e-mail address ?
Thanks for any hint / advice / link /etc..
Regards, Christian

Sync Problems with Blackberry Curve 8310

I am also having a problem sync my new Blackberry Curve 8310. I previously had a Palm Treo 650. I was finally able to sync the contacts from my Palm to my Blackberry. I am assuming just like the Palm Treo software I can also view the contacts on my desktop, but I have not been able to view the contacts on the Blackberry Desktop Manager software. Where do I view this information, that I might have downloaded, there is now tab for the software that allows me to manager my contacts and my calender.
I use Outlook express for my emails is there any way I can make the Outlook Express the primary software on my desktop for managing my contacts and my calender and being able to sync to my Blackberry.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
DM is not like the Palm Desktop in that there is no set of visual organizers (calendar-contacts-tasks-memos) to see. DM serves to sync your data between the BB and another desktop application.
Here is a listing of the apps supported by the various versions of DM. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB12268&slic...
When I migrated over from my Treo 650, the Switch Device Wizard did not work. As a workaround, I sync'd my Palm with Outlook 2003. To do this I had to use the original cd that came with my Treo to change the conduits so the Palm Desktop sync'd with Outlook. Not sure if I needed to use the cd to do this, I think you can change those setting in Palm Desktop, but make sure to map the fields well so your data imports into Outlook as you want it. (The fields are a little different between Palm and Outlook). ALWAYS make sure you get a good sync of your Palm data before doing any of this. That way you'll have the data in the Palm Desktop as a backup.
Once I had the data sync'd to Outlook, I just had to set up the synchronization setting on DM to sync over to my BB.
Post back if you have any further questions. Let us know how it goes.

Curve 8310 Calendar will not Sync at all

The calendar of my curve 8310 will no longer sync though I've had no problem before. I have Outlook 2002 and Desktop Software 4.6 and sync using the USB cable for wired synchronization. When the DS progress windows display during sync the sections now move from contacts>tasks>notes. The calendar section is omitted entirely. I uninstalled Desktop Software then reinstalled it but the same problem continues. I have checked the Desktop Software set up and verified that a two way sync of calendar is included. I've been working on this all weekend and am totally frustrated! I hope someone can help!

"What is 6 of 16 that is locking up, I don't believe it is datebook and if that is the case you can disable that conduit temporarily so you can sync your datebook over, if it is datebook, then I would try a program called dbfixit you can get it from www.pimlicosoftware.com I don't know about dbscan and how well it is, but I find dbfixit to be a wonderful tool to find any corruption. "
Well, I don't know. I am assuming it is 6 of 16 files that need to be synced. I'm just telling you what the hotsync window says at the point that it locks up.
How do I disable the conduit and still have the datebook sync? If it's disabled, how would it sync at all? I have set the datebook to "do nothing" and the other applications sync just fine, but not datebook.
I will try the dbfixit as long as you can assure me it won't erase data. Thank you

Curve 8310 fails to read microSD card

Greetings,
I bought a Blackberry Curve 8310 last summer and it worked fine until November of last year when the phone failed to read my Micro SD media card. Thinking the media card was the problem, I have bought a new media card a few months ago to try fixing the problem. The problem still persists and I need help getting this fixed.
I currently use Blackberry 4.5 Device OS. Under Options in the phone's menu:
Media card support: on
Encryption mode: none
Mass storage mode support: on
Auto enable MSM when connected: Yes
Total space: 1.8 GB
Free Space: 1.4 GB.
This means the phone knows I have a media card but just cannot read it. For pictures, only the pictures I saved onto the microSD card using my computer can be seen, but pictures I took using the phone doesn't show up. When taking pictures, the camera indicates "File system out of resources". For music, all the music is visible, but when trying to play the songs, it doesn't do anything.
I have tried everything from turning off/on the phone, removing the battery to do a hard reset, not downloading any applications to see if they were the cause, and formatting the media card for blackberry use. I have even reformatted the phone 5 to 6 times and installed a clean new OS onto the phone and the problem is still there. The only short-term solution I found in fixing this problem is when using the Desktop Manager to backup my data on the phone. After backing up the data, the phone will recognize my media card and I can access it fine for about 2 to 3 days. Then the phone fails again and I have to keep backing up my data to get my phone to work. Now I am very tired of repeating this process. Either I get a long-term solution or I need a new phone (I believe I still have warrenty).
The phone is great but this problem is getting on my nerves. Someone please help me!

My Blackberry Curve 8310 has no video recorder on it

I there a way to upgrade my phone so I can have a capable video recorder to record videos?

That's odd... I have AT&T and a Curve 8310; it has both a video and audio recorder built into it. I could not access my video recorder until I bought and inserted a microSD card into the Curve. The video camera's recordings take up a lot of memory compared to the camera, and if you don't have a memory card installed, this could be your problem.
If you do have a memory card with space on it, it's possible that the video recorder icon was accidentally hidden from view on the Home screen. While in the Home screen, press the Menu button (to the left of the trackball) and make sure "Show All" is checked. This will show you all icons, even the hidden ones; see if you can find the video camera icon among your list of icons.
FYI - You can also access the video recorder through the "Camera" icon. Click on the Camera icon, then once the screen switches to camera viewfinder, click on the Menu button (left of the trackball) and select "Video camera." This will then give you recording access to the video feature if your device has memory.

Rookie needs help downloading Windows Live Mobile to her BB Curve 8310

How do I download Windows Live Mobile to my BB Curve 8310??
I've tried both the Hotmail Windows Live and the link to the Blackberry Live, but am not getting anywhere.
The Hotmail Windows Live link comes thru, but if I click on it nothing happens or I get lots and lots of black little squares.
If I clik on the try it link for the blackberry specifically, I get a page that just tells more information, but nothing to download.....??
If I go the software page, I get confused; nothing there that is specifically for the Windows Live Mobile??
Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!!

i have a question about the windows live mobile. Is it like instant messages? Does it drain the battery and are you notified of a text like the you are with SMS, MMS, and emails?

Water Damaged Curve 8310

Hello!
Unfortunately I put my Rogers Curve 8310 through the wash a couple of weeks ago, and no amount of rice and blow-drying could save it. I've met people who have swam for half and hour and saved their BB's, but I figure it had no chance after soap and a spin cycle.
My question is this: Does RIM have any program for replacing water damaged phones? My best friend recently dunked his iPhone 3Gs in a toilet and they sent him a box the next day, he popped it in, and a week later he received a brand new 3Gs in the mail for $229 cdn, which is a hell of a lot more palatable than the $800 retail price.
Thank you!

Not that I'm aware of. I don't know if water damage is covered under warranty. If you have insurance on your phone then you should be able to pay the detuctible to get another BlackBerry. If you contact your carrier they would be able to tell you.

Desktop software version 6.0 won't sync with Curve 8310

I adore my Blackberry Curve 8310, but the desktop software has been a nightmare. I have tried to download new versions, but the only one that will sync with my device is the one that came on a disk with the phone, version 4.2.2, which I have in my desktop computer. I have a new laptop with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 installed. I downloaded the Desktop Software 6.0 from the Blackberry website, and when I try to configure the settings for syncing with Outlook, it gives me the message "The operation terminated unsuccessfully." I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and updated my device software, but nothing works. HELP!

Hi staceyw,
Is your Outlook 32 bit or 64 bit? Currently only 32 bit is supported with BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0.
I would recommend a clean uninstall then reinstall of the Desktop software following this KB article. http://bbry.lv/bvwP5D
