Bluetooth profiles
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model and wireless network, some profiles might not be supported.
A/V Remote Control (AVRCP): This profile allows you to use the buttons on a Bluetooth enabled headset to perform actions such as adjusting the volume or playing the next or previous media file on your BlackBerry device. Data Transfer: This service allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to Bluetooth enabled devices that support the transfer of data such as media files.
Desktop Connectivity: This service allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to a Bluetooth enabled computer that is running BlackBerry® Desktop Software so that you can synchronize your organizer data.
Dial-Up Networking (DUN): This profile allows you to use your BlackBerry device as a modem when it is connected to a Bluetooth enabled computer that is running BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Handsfree (HFP): This profile allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to Bluetooth enabled headsets and car kits that support the Handsfree profile.
Headset (HSP): This profile allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to Bluetooth enabled headsets that support the Headset profile.
Serial Port Profile: This profile allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to Bluetooth enabled devices that support desktop connectivity, wireless bypass, and data transfer.
SIM Access: If your BlackBerry device uses a SIM card, this profile allows you to use a Bluetooth enabled car kit to control the SIM card on your BlackBerry device so that you can make and receive calls using the car kit. When you use this feature, data services (browser service, email messaging, PIN messaging, and MMS messaging) are not available on your device, and phone services are accessible only through the car kit. Before you can use this feature, you might need to enter a 16-digit alphanumeric code, generated by the car kit, on your BlackBerry device.
Wireless Bypass: This service allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to a Bluetooth enabled computer that is running BlackBerry Desktop Software so that you can send and receive email messages and synchronize your organizer data without using a connection to the wireless network. To use this service, your email account must use a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If you are attempting to configure it for BES, then I suggest seeing your BES admins as they control the activation process.
If you are attempting to use your firm's internet-facing OWA and use BIS, then use these instructions:

If you have some other configuration, please let us know what it is so that we can guide you better.

BlackBerry Curve 8330 won't boot, LED blinks and hourglass spins

I bought this pink BlackBerry Curve 8330 in December of 2008. It has worked perfectly since and I've never gotten it wet. It's been dropped 4-5 times, but never from more than 3 feet.
This afternoon, in the middle of writing a text, it suddenly powered off and the red LED light came on like it does when it is turning back on. It went off, the screen stayed black, then a few seconds later the screen turned on with an hourglass spinning for about five seconds, then the light turns off and everything goes black again for a few seconds, then the LED light comes on again and the cycle is repeated. It did this five times before I had to put it away as we drove home. When I got home, it had finally booted the whole way, but the battery was so low the radio was off, so I plugged it into the USB charger on my desktop computer.
When I came back later, the phone had stopped charging and was on a black screen with the LED light on, just like earlier. It went through this cycle a few times.
I pulled the battery and put it back in, same thing happened. Black screen, white screen with hourglass, black screen.
I plugged it back into the USB charger and as I type this, the little psycho has booted completely and it shows that it is charging.
Device info
Your carrier: Telus Mobility
Model info and OS version: v4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59)
Apps and free space
File free before and after a battery remove/replace.: 28042909 bytes / same
Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
Apps installed and their version if possible.: Too many to type out right now, but the latest ones to be updated were SocialScope Lite v0.9.6.20, BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.2.12 (both updated automatically)
BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): No bluetooth (hope that's what BT stands for)
How can I fix this so it doesn't keep happening? Thanks so much in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

Cannot Send E-mails form Blackberry Curve 8330

THis morning, I moved my Blackberry Curve 8330 from using the desktop redirector to now using the Enterprise Server version 5 on a Microsoft Exchange server. I have done this with 8 other blackberries as well. Every blackberry except mine is able to send e-mail messages from their blackberries after the move except mine. Everytime I try to send a message, I get the red X.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Can you open the message and scroll up and see if there is an error in the message header?
It sounds like you may have a send as permission error or are not permitted for BES acces on your data plan.
Are you the domain admin? do you have domain admin rights on your AD Account?
If so remove yourself from the domain admin group and create a vanialla account for doing the admin tasks.
Chesk the send as permissions are set and try again.
Also check with your carrier and see if you are provisioned for Blackberry Prosumer (BIS), BlackBerry Enterprose (BES) or BlackBerry Enterprise Plus (BES+).
If your only BIS you'll get the red x if your trying to send and activated against a BES.

Blackberry Curve 8330 vs Droid 2

So I'm heavily considering trading in my Blackberry Curve 8330 for a new Droid 2. Was wondering if anyone else recently made the switch and can shar their experiences/opinions.
I like my Blackberry a lot, but it looks like there is a lot more stuff I can do with the Droid 2. My biggest concern is that I have read a lot of comments saying that the service/reception is kind of Shotty on teh Droid 2 and people are having reception and dropped call issues.
Overall I would say I am pretty happy with Verizon service when it comes to coverage area and reception (at least with my Blackberry), so I am compelled to beleive that the issue is with the Droid 2 phone itself.
Would love to hear others opinions on this topic.
Thanks!

I got a Droid 2 last week and had the original Droid before that. I taught my Mom how to use a Blackberry last year (8900). Based on that I can say that the Droid 2 is a highly functional phone, especially from a email and internet, especially internet standpoint. The pages load in 5 - 15 seconds depending on web density. Its nearly laptop fast. I know the brower on Blackberry's is weak to say the least. The camera is excellent and you can take video with it too. From a communications standpoint it's outstanding. It's very easy to take a picture of something and with the click of 1 button, you can email it to anyone, post it on facebook or myspace or anywhere you like. I like that functionality a lot. The best way I can describe the phone overall is that it's like having a small powerful computer in your pocket, fast, functional and pocketable. The Android OS works best when you have a gmail account as your primary email account. It downloads messages quickly. Gmail also uses your list of contacts as contacts for the phone. You can transfer your contacts from your old phone into the Droid 2 and it will populate in your gmail contact list. My friend just took my old Droid and transferred his yahoo contacts into it and it populated in gmail and he set up his yahoo account in the phone too, so he can work from both.
Overall, I really highly recommend the Droid 2. It has a learning curve if you're used to a Blackberry, but worth it in the end. Its a great daily phone with a nice camera and camcorder and excellent social capabilities. I find myself using the pc at home less because the Droid is so capable. Get it!!

eh? No, that is not true.
While charging either to a wall outlet, automobile charger or the USB cable to the PC, the device is perfectly usable for ALL functions.

Calendars for Blackberry Curve 8330......

Ohhh please help me!!!! I just bought the Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. I a coming from a Palm Treo 700P. I love the Curve but I do not want to have to use outlook. Anyone who used Palm knows you could have multiple calendars and on both the Pam and Computer. I have all my dads medical, appointments, my cancer appointments and both of our lives on my Palm. When Verizon Synchronized it only the phone #'s came through and nothing for the calendar. I am now having to carry my palm treo for the personal information, drug histories, appointments, etc. Does anyone know of a program with the Calendar for both the desktop and the blackberry that I can download that will synch to each other or have any other ideas on what I can do? I would so appreciate it. Thank you so very much for any help.

Computer AND Device manger won't recognize Blackberry Curve 8330. .PLEASE Help

I have tried so many different things. . I am at the end of my rope. My computer AND the Device Manager won't recognize my Blackberry Curve 8330 anymore. It use to but then Sprint had me to do a hard reset and it hasn't done it since. I am running Vista. I have downloaded all different versions of the Desktop Manager, Blackberry Drivers etc. I know that the USB works because it recognizes other devices. Plus when I plug the blackberry in, the little plug shows up for about five seconds and disappears. Plus when I unplug it and the blackberry screen is dark, it lights up so something is being recognized somewhere. This is frustrating because I don't have my contacts backed up and I am trying not to do a hard reset to lose them again. I have tried this on two different computers running Vista and the other XP. I get the same result with both. I don't know what happened to make both stop recognizing my blackberry. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Indeed, you carrier may prevent you from using the Windows Live service on your BlackBerry device.
but it was available back in July 2008.

SPRINT BLACKBERRY CURVE 8330 QUESTION

Hello Group,
{edit out personal information} I am thinking about purchasing a Sprint blackberry curve 8330. i was wondering if i were to travel abroad with this phone would i be able to use it in countries like the United Kingdom. and France?
thank you,
peter Stewart

Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
The easiest way for you to get an answer is to contact Sprint...they may or may not be able enable international roaming for you on that device.
Alternatively, you can research the radio capabilities of that model here:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/blackberrycurve8300/curve_specifications.jsp
Then check the radio frequencies in use by carriers in the countries you desire to go to. That will tell you if the BB is at all capable of "talking" to those networks. Then you can either activate an international roaming plan with the carrier (if they offer such) or, before you leave, get and use the unlock code from your home carrier and then, upon arrival in the other country, buy a local SIM and use that in your BB.
Good luck and let us know!

BlackBerry Curve 8330/BlackBerry Storm Dilemma

So I'm a college student and it was just time for a new Cellphone and I wanted the BlackBerry Storm. I was going through with the deal on a particular site that had it lower priced than the original price. So I was filling out the contract and by the end decided, it may be cheaper to get another phone. (Well I didn't decide this, but it's not the point)
So instead I go and checkout the BlackBerry Curve 8330. I'm filling out the contract and I fail to realize during the process that it's basically around the same price as the BlackBerry Storm with all of the features that add up at the end. So I go ahead and get it.
After the fact I do the math and finally realize......"HEY! For the price I might as well have stuck with the BlackBerry Storm."
So now I'm just wondering, before I beat myself up too much if there is any reason to beat myself up. Is the BlackBerry Storm really that good or am I better off with the BlackBerry Curve or does it matter? I really wanted a new TouchScreen phone and I liked the look of the Blackberry Storm. Not to mention I'm finding out that the Curve is rather old right. Although I do like the Curve. So yeah.
Any input will be greatly appreciated. I just joined just to ask this so I hope it was worth it.
Thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

So, I got the Storm.
Has some really jiggy action problems on the keyboard and in other areas.
I found the Curve so much easier to operate in just minutes of playing with it at the store.
I just got back from Verizon where another guy was having the same problems. He had the Curve prior to the Storm and recommended the Curve over the Storm.
He pulled out from Verizon and went to AT&T for the new Bold.
I think you can chill and enjoy the Curve.
I am sleeping on it and may go back pay $35.00 restock and get the Curve. But maybe not. My 12 year old son is talking me into staying with the jiggy Storm.
I'd say stay with your Curve and move on!
Peace,

Blackberry Curve 8330 Case Suggestions

Hey gang I'm Jarrod, first I wanted to say nice to meet all you. I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8330 and I love it very awesome phone (this is my second Blackberry) I do have one question would anyone please make some suggestions on some cases for me. I am looking for something like a holster style case and something with a strong belt clip (wont break off easily) and that will protect my phone. I was looking at the Blackberry leather holster case with the magnetic flap that goes over the top. My only concern is some of the upper part of the screen is unprotected (sorry im really protective over my phone) does anyone have this case and if so how good does it work? has anyone got any scratches on the screen or body with the upper part being exposed on this case? I'm open for any other suggestions on cases as well (although I have mostly had holster style cases in the past) I have also looked at the otter box case for the curve as well anyway thanks for the help!

Have you looked on EBay? They have huge selection and very cheap. I have bought a number of cases and accessories there.
Cheers
