Contact software like Palm for Blackberry Curve?

I have been a Palm user for years. I now have a Blackberry Curve and want a contact type tool similiar to Palms. I want to be able to pull up a contact and see all the data in a better format than what is available on the blackberry today. Are there any software device and desktop solutions that are available? If so by who and where can I get them. Today I know that I can sync my palm data to my blackberry, but would like to be able to use only 1 product instead of 2.
Please help?
Thank you!

Getting the New software 6.0 For blackberry curve

I would like to get the new software for my curve but i dont know how to. i havent gotten an update and i keep checking. is there any way to put it on by going to a verizon store or off the website?

Hi,
To update your Blackberry Operating System (OS) software, follow the instructions I will provide. You can check which version your device is running by going to Options>About on your device. Here are the instructions:
How to Update your Blackberry’s Software
1. On your computer, download and install Blackberry Desktop Manager (BDM). The program can be found on the CD that came with your Blackberry or from Blackberry’s web site at the following URL: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2. Download the upgrade file for your device. This can be done from the vendor’s web site, such as Verizon’s at http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/
3. Click on the downloaded upgrade file and install that file your computer. Now the upgrade file will be integrated into BDM.
4. Attach your Blackberry device to your computer and backup your device’s settings before upgrading. This is important so that you do not have to enter your contacts, etc back into your phone again.
5. After backing up, you are ready to begin. With BDM running on your computer, click on Application Loader.
6. Under Update Software, click on Start.
7. Now you will be presented with a list of available software upgrade options. Select the proper upgrade by placing a check mark next to the one you want to install and click next.
8. Follow the prompts and your software will install on your device. It is important to remember that the whole process can take 30-45 minutes. Do not unplug your Blackberry from your computer during the upgrade.
9. Once you receive the message on your computer the process is complete, you are done.
Hope this helps,
Doc

V5.0 software update for Blackberry Curve 8530

I updated my virgin mobile blackberry curve 8530 to the v5.0 software update , but the sms text DOES NOT look anything like the BBM chat. It hasn't changed at all from the last version . That's the whole reason why I updated it. Please help . Thank you .

That's one way to do it... you could also do it Over The Air (Options - Advanced - Wireless Update) or you could download the file and install the update via Desktop Manager. One word of caution though... personally I recommend the OS 5.0 .459 update not the .654... There are many posts on many forums detailing why people have issues with .654 (I'm one of them and I downgraded from .654 to .459). Of note, loss of the manual standy feature and changing the keyboard lock methods, and the trade-off of battery life over reception.
You can get the download file starting here and choosing what is applicable to you :

My internet settings for blackberry curve

i have a blackberry curve 9520 i have been having internet problems so i contacted vodafone the man said try and reset your internet settings , the problem is i dont know how to do this can you help?

Hello!!
And you let him get away with that? Really? You PAY them for your support, and they didn't provide it to you.
My guess...
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then should contact your mobile service provider for formal support...and this time don't let them fob you off so easily.
Good luck!

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.

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.
