New verizon curve 8330 missing browser

Hi,
This may sound like s dumb question, so my apologies. I just activated my new (well old, but new to me) Verizon Curve 8330 and it does not have a browser app. I tried to go to opera to send me a download link, but even with that I can't get my phone to go to it. I did perform a security wipe before I activated it. I can't seem to find a browser to download to my computer to install through the desktop manager either. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Are you sure your data plan is in place? How did you activate it?
Lets try this:At the home screen go to the connection icon,click on it,
and go to service status, click on it, menu key, select diagnostic test, select
run. In the course of the test the phone your data access will be checked and
a registration request will be sent. After the test completes you can read the categories
and see if a PIN test worked, and registration request was sent successfully.
If the test fails I would call the carrier and have them verify you plan,
If the test is successful they the following:
Go to options/ advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification email. Then go to email settings and send service books.
You will get an confirmation of setup for each email account.
After this is complete, do a battery pull to reset the device.
Let us know now it goes!
Thanks,

Curve 8330 Support for MicroSDHC

I have a Curve 8330 with OS v5.0.0.438 which I read should support a MicroSDHC card up to 32G. Well my 1GB MICROSD card works, but the 32G SDHC is not recognized at all on the Blackberry..
I tried formatting the 32G on my computer to FAT32 and it still isn't recognized. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks!

So your computer can see the 32gb card after formatting it? You can place a test file on it from the PC?
I saw this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve/Maximum-size-SD-memory-card-for-Curve-8330/m...
and it should work. I'm hoping something isn't wrong with the card.

Any more news on when the v5.0 upgrade will be available on the Curve 8330 (Bell Mobility)?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi there,
OS upgrades are dependent on the carrier, so only Bell will know if they will upgrade the Curve 8330 OS. That said, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I wouldn't be too hopeful that I'd see an upgrade if I were you. OS 5 is considerably larger than previous OSes and upgrading dramatically reduces the available app memory. As a result, most carriers have simply chosen not to provide an upgrade to OS 5.
I hope this information helps!

BlackBerry Curve 8330 - Email is showing up as a text alert

I recently set up an email account on my BlackBerry Curve 8330. Now I am receiving my emails as a text msg alert.
How do a I resolve this so my email as its own folder.
Thanks.

Start by doing a battery pull - while the device is on, remove the battery for 30 seconds, then reinsert it and wait for the device to reboot. Does that help?
If it doesn't, ensure that the email folder isn't just hidden. On the homepage, press the BB Menu button and select Show All (should show a little check mark). See if you can find the email folder.
If that still doesn't work, please let us know as there are some other things we may be able to try.

BlackBerry Curve 8330 Media Card Problem

I just bought a BlackBerry Curve 8330 from amazon and activated it. Everything works perfectly except when I put a formatted media card into the device it says in options>media card: A media card is not presently inserted in the device. I have tried everything, the battery pull, reformatting the card, reformatting the O.S. and nothing seems to work. I have tried 2 different media cards in this device, a 1gb one and a 2gb one and both don't work. I tried them in other phones and they work perfectly. I would greatly appreciate some support. Also, could I send the phone into Verizon or take it to a Verizon store for repairs even though I bought it online?

OK, try this with the Media Card in the device:
(you cannot "hide" the entire Media Card, you can hide subfolders)
So, open the Media icon > press the Menu key > Explore.
Navigate to the Media Card > BlackBerry > Pictures.
Press the Menu key there > Properties, can you UNcheck the "hidden" property?
If it is grey and uncheckable, it is an empty box, or checked?
Can you see ANYthing in the pictures folder?

My New Curve 8330! (few questions from a noob!)

So I finally got the Curve 8330 - I had been waiting all this time for the Thunder but decided yesterday that if my fingers are too fat for an iPhone, then they will be for the Thunder as well. Anyways, I LOVE the Curve thus far...just a few questions.
#1) Do the "messages" and "[email protected]" icon serve the same purpose? If so, which I think they do, how do I filter the "messages" icon so that ONLY my incoming SMS messages are shown??? As of now, the "messages" icon is cluttered with e-mail, SMS, bb mesanger & voicemail! I HATE THAT! I'd rather keep it clean and organized so that If i wanna view my SMS messages, I click on "messages" If I wanna view my bb messanger messages, I click on the bb messanger icon, If i wanna see my e-mails, I click on the "[email protected]" icon and so forth. Is there a way to filter it this way???
#2) When I send an e-mail, I automatically get THAT e-mail sent back to me! How do I disable this function? I have no need to recieve in my INBOX the e-mail I just sent out.... I tried going into "Messages->options" and turning the "hide sent" to "ON" but this problem still occurs...... Any help on that?
#3) I have this stupid "Facebook" icon in my menu, how do I delete this permanently?
Thanks everyone, I'm sure i'll have more questions as I'm readin through!

Yes, when you go into your messages and hit the menu key and select options and general options. Email and sms messages should be set to separate. Hit the back key to the right of your trackball to save. If you do not see an icon now just for sms and mms, do a battery pull. Take the battery out with the phone on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot does the icon appear now?

Can't open picture attachments on BlackBerry Curve 8330

I just traded my Pearl 8130 for the Curve 8330 yesterday. While I think I made the right decision, I'm a little annoyed by the fact that for the most part, I can't open email attachments. Keep in mind, this is when I actually use the Internet Browser to access my various accounts. In other words, I'm actually going to www.gmail.com and www.hotmail.com. When I get into my Hotmail, it'll show the paper clip signifying an attachment but won't give me any sort of option to open it. It just lists the file name(s) and that's it. When I go into my gmail, if I've got an email that only contains one or two pictures it'll usually open those. But any more than that and it's the same deal with Hotmail, except that it'll actually have the "6 Attachments" link that I can actually click, but when I do it just lists the file names in regular type and there's no option whatsoever to open them. It doesn't open any kind of thumbnail either.
It's kind of a bummer to me because I have a lot of saved pictures in my email accounts that I'd like to save on my phone as well. If all BlackBerrys are like that, I'll just deal with it and shut up. When I get email attachments in the accounts I've set up to go directly to my BlackBerry I can always open them, so maybe this is just normal for BlackBerrys. But if mine is actually having a problem I'd really like to get it fixed. If that's the case, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? I already resent Service Books and took the battery out and put it back in. That's all I've tried so far. If all else fails I can just take it in to Alltel to have it looked at but it'd be nice to avoid having to do that. I know there are other ways to go about this... I can always just manually move them to my phone's memory card from the computer and stuff. Getting them directly from my email would just be a little quicker.
Thanks, everyone!

Blackberry browser isnt exactly the same as a browser on your PC. It has limitations, such as sizes. when you added the email to your BIS account its now mail on your device which is the primary function of a blackberry. when using BIS or BES emails, they are designed to truncate if too big, but if you wish to look at more it gives you that option. www.hotmail.com is not designed to accomodate blackberry. Your best option is to stay to the BIS email option.
Not to mention it uses less of your data bandwidth to use BIS email rather than browsing to www.hotmail.com

Google Maps no longer works for my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. What is wrong with Google???

For the past 11 months, Google Maps and Gmail have worked wonderfully with my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. Tonight, all of it stopped working. I tried to load Google Maps and failed. Kept getting the error message "Network Unavailable, blah blah blah". I tried restarting the phone, removing and reinserting the battery, until I finally uninstalled Google Maps. Now when I point my browser (OperaMini) to m.google.com to download and reinstall Google Maps, it says "Sorry the Google Maps application does not work on your 8330." This makes NO sense. Why would Google suddenly remove support for my phone? Is there a work around? Before uninstalled, I tried all sorts of tricks with editing permissions to no avail.
Also, Gmail is refusing to check mail, occasionally saying that a data connection is needed. That also makes NO sense as I have great phone reception.
My internet (OperaMini) and normal calling and texting capabilities are unaffected.
In conclusion: Is there ANY WAY to get these Google applications to reinstall and work on my phone? Or has Google screwed me over? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks,
Hyun

Curve 8330 not being recognized by the Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager . . .

I just downloaded the Mac version of BDM. It's a long time coming, but I'm glad that it works. I have a Pearl that was easily recognized by the software and easily synced with all my data. However, I also have a Curve 8330 that will not sync. In fact, when plugged into the USB port, the BDM doesn't even see that the 8330 is plugged in, it still sits there asking, "To beging, connect your device to your Mac using the supplied USB cable."
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks.

I would suggest, first off, rebooting the Curve.
With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

Can't transfer calendar: Palm Treo to Curve 8330

I've been helping my husband switch over from his Palm Treo 600, using Palm desktop, to new BB Curve 8330. A salesman transferred name and tel #s only. I've managed to switch most of his Palm into Outlook, and sync'd Outlook with the BB. The only problem now seems to be that the calendar is not syncing over to the BB. Suggestions???
I have tried to sync setting configurations several different ways: to sync all or calendar only, to have Outlook override device, and two way. Nothing will get the calendar over to the BB, although all his addresses and tasks are there now. Help!
TIA,
Michelle (for Chuck)

Hi,
Outlook 2003 and desktop manager v.6 will be perfect!
Yes install the main email address on the Blackberry to match Outlook.
On the Blackberry you get a calendar for each email address you use.
Only one can be synchronized with the Outlook calendar.
You can go to Outlook, tools, email options and make sure of the default account.
Then on the Blackberry from the home screen, options, advanced options,
default services. Use the main email options CICAL is the calendar and CMIME is the email.
By placing them as default you then sync email address to email address calendars.
Make sense?
Let me know if you need anything else!

Camera Problem with Curve 8330

Hi - I have a Curve 8330 and the camera has recently started acting strange. When I look at the screen to take a picture, the image is "posterized" (ie, it looks like an Andy Warhol poster, with strange colors).
I can find no setting to fix this...I have also tried both a hard and soft reboot, with no luck.
When I take a picture while looking at the "posterized" screen image, it does not save it, even though I have plenty of file space left.
Help! :-)

I am having the same issue as well (and done the same things), and have not been able to find anything either. I am not sure if this is now a hardware issue and not a software issue.
