Dissappointed with the Blackberry Devices

I want to share my frustration as two weeks ago, my Torch 9860 started to freeze, so I decided to take out the battery and do a reset on the device!! This was a huge error as the device only loaded to 85% and stayed in that state! I erased the OS and reinstalled it again with no luck, so I went to my carrier so that they could look into the phone, only to find out that the phone had more than one year and the guarantee had expired and if I wanted to fix it it would cost me! My Playbook which I bought last November started out to be great, then two weeks a go the battery started to go crazy and wouldn't chage fully! No it does not charge and when it turns on it turns off right away! I never though Blackberry would make such bad devices! Seriously Blackberry I thought you where one of the best Mobile Phones makers, but now you're the worst! I was saving to buy the new Z10, but after what happened to both of the devices I had with I decided to switch to an android device, you JUST LOS ANOTHER CUSTUMER!
P.S. The lifespan of my Torch 9860

Hmmm... I had the exactly opposite experience with the templates. I agree with Brian Peat - there are many wonderful templates out there, but I have been able to "wow" my audience with just a bit of creativity in the approach to the existing templates.
Don't forget that "less is more" when it comes to presenting with AV.
I like what is written here: http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2005/11/thezenestheti.html - it may be helpful to you as well.
Good luck with your presentation!

  • Blend Like a Boss With the BlackBerry Blend 1.2 Update

    Reposted from Inside BlackBerry
    We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again now: BlackBerry Blend is the best productivity booster, and with the latest update, BlackBerry Blend 1.2, navigating and interacting with your BlackBerry device messages and content has never been easier.

When receiving notifications, you can reply directly by clicking on the instant preview without having to go to the BlackBerry Blend dashboard. This allows you to quickly respond and get back to what you were doing without missing a step.

  • Getting Started with the BlackBerry Classic

    Reposted from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog
    Whether you are new or experienced with BlackBerry 10, here’s a quick guide to get you started with the BlackBerry Classic!
    Step 1 – Insert your SIM and media card
    The first step you’ll want to take after unboxing your new BlackBerry Classic is inserting your nano SIM card and media card. When you have your nano SIM and media card (optional) handy, use the tool that is provided in the BlackBerry Classic box to open the SIM card tray.
    To do this, push the tip of the tool, or a paperclip, into the hole that is to the left of SIM on the side of your device. Doing so pops the tray out at which point you can pull it all the way out.
    After doing this, with the metal contacts of your nano SIM card facing away from you, place the nano SIM into the tray, then push the tray into the slot. Repeat these steps to insert your media card by inserting the tool, or a paperclip, in the hole to the right of SD along the left side of your device.
    Tip: If you don’t have the right SIM card please contact your service provider and ask them for help switching to a nano SIM card. Please avoid using a larger SIM card that has been cut to a smaller size as this may cause your device to not recognize the SIM card. Using a modified SIM card may also result in it getting stuck since the modified SIM card may be thicker than the required nano SIM card. When you have finished inserting your nano SIM and media card the next step is completing the BlackBerry Classic setup wizard.
    Step 2 – Complete the set up wizard
    If you haven’t already, turn on your BlackBerry Classic by pressing and holding the power button on the top of your device so you can complete the setup process. This process guides you through connecting to a Wi-Fi network, setting up a new BlackBerry ID, or signing into your existing BlackBerry ID, as well as showing you several fundamental gestures.
    Tip: If you don’t have a BlackBerry ID you’ll be able to create one during the setup process and, in the event you don’t remember your BlackBerry ID password, use the Forgot Password option to reset your BlackBerry ID password. Don’t forgot to confirm your BlackBerry ID, which can help you recover your password in case you ever forget it!
    When you have finished the setup wizard, the new and improved Setup app will open automatically.
    Within this app you’ll be able to complete the following actions that will help you learn more about your new device and customize everything just the way you like
    Find out what’s different about BlackBerry 10
    Understand the various gestures used throughout your device
    Add your email and social networking accounts
    Transfer data from your previous device (See step 3 to learn more!)
    Customize your device notifications
    Setup BBM so you can connect with family and friends
    Set a device password
    And more!
    When you have finished going through the various options within the Setup App, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to minimize it. You can always access the Setup app in the future by tapping on the Setup icon as well.
    Step 3 – Transfer data from your previous device
    If you are switching from another device, whether it be BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Android or iPhone, there are several different methods you can use to help transfer data to your new device.
    For a visual overview, check out the following videos that guide you through this process. The Setup app on your BlackBerry Classic can also help you do this, just open the Setup app, tap Switching Devices and follow the provided steps.
    Android device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
    BlackBerry OS smartphone to BlacKBerry 10 smartphone
    iOS device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
    If you encounter any issues transferring your data, or would like some guidance, stop by the Device Switch board within the BlackBerry Support Community Forums and ask the community.
    If you switch from another device don’t forget to perform a security wipe on your old device to remove your personal information. If your previous device was a BlackBerry device, check out our post on how to perform a security wipe.
    If you use a different type of device, review the user documentation to learn how to reset it to factory settings and remove your personal information.
    Step 4 – Secure your new device and turn on BlackBerry Protect
    If you haven’t already set a device password, I cannot stress enough how important this is. Doing so can help prevent unwanted access if you leave your device unattended and, in the event you misplace your device, no one will be able to view your personal information. To set a device password, complete the following steps:
    On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen
    Tap Settings followed by Security and Privacy
    Tap Device Password
    Set the Device Password switch to On
    Enter your desired password twice
    After setting a device password make sure you verify that BlackBerry Protect is enabled on your device by going to Settings followed by BlackBerry Protect.
    When enabled, BlackBerry Protect can help you locate, lock, or wipe your device where you are, provided your device is connected to the mobile or Wi-Fi network. To learn more about BlackBerry Protect go to http://protect.blackberry.com.
    Step 5 – Where to learn more and find help
    The easiest way to learn more about your new BlackBerry Classic is by opening the Help app, which contains a lot of useful information ranging from tips and tricks to how-to overviews. You can also view, download, or save the user guide for your device by visiting http://docs.blackberry.com.
    I would also recommend reviewing BlackBerry Classic how-to demo videos that show the various features and functions offered by your device. These demos can be viewed on your device, computer, or tablet. Several BlackBerry Training courses are also available – make sure you try these out on your computer, or device to learn more about the BlackBerry Classic and BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1.

    Introducing BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
    Supporting BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
    Introducing the BlackBerry Classic smartphone
    Another great way to learn more is by taking the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, which you can find within BlackBerry World. This app offers short quizzes that can help you learn more about your device and it only takes a few minutes to complete each test – it’s the perfect coffee break companion!
    To get the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, open BlackBerry World and search for it or click here. Another great resource to learn more about your device, beyond this blog of course, is the BlackBerry Classic support site located at http://www.blackberry.com/classicsupport

    BlackBerry device CD that comes with your BB does not work on MAC. You need to download a program called PocketMac 4.1 from BlackBerry.com.
    With the MAC program, you can sync calender, contacts, task, notes from your email client, load applications.
    But features that comes with Desktop Manager (in the CD) like BackUp/Restore, Media Manager and email settings not available on PocketMac.

  • How to show the buttons of Lotus Notes Application at the BlackBerry device?

    Hi, 
    At the company I work for we use BlackBerry with Lotus Domino 7.x. We have a Lotus Notes Application (LotusScript) that read information from Oracle db and send email messages to users. In the e-mail we have three buttons, when we click on, they start an Oracle package with web browser.  When the users read this message in the desktop, the buttons appears, but when they read it from Blackberry, they can’t see the buttons.
    Any idea how to make these buttons show at the BlackBerry device?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andréa 

    Hi,
    I will explain more.At my company we have a workflow application. The users can approve and deny when they receive an email by Lotus Notes, because we have a lotus script that read information from the db oracle  and send email messages with the three buttons(approve, deny, question) for the users. The problem is when we read the email from BlackBerry, the buttons didn’t appear.
     The Os version is 4.2.2.175.
    I have an image with the example. How can I send for you ?
    Thanks,
    Andréa

  • Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

    Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • When I try to reformat there is an error message about configurations with the pointing device

    When I try to reformat there is an error message about configurations with the pointing device
    I am not sure I am on the correct section in the support area for Lenovo.
    I had a mouse issue. It was unable to read the mouse. Now the mouse is working and it is initialized.
    I have no idea why.
    There is an error message saying that I should press F 1or F2. I pressed down F 1 and I tried to work with it and I enabled the mouse or I tried. The mouse is working fine but the computer will not recover completely the way it used to.
    It is very confusing. When I shut down and restart there is an message that was not there before about the pointing device. Also the recovering operation never asked me for disks. Now it is doing that. I have disks but this is all confusing. I just want the computer to be the way it was. It is working fine except for booting up and the messages.

    Hi marissa, welcome to the forums,
    you may or may not be in the right place, but it would certainly help members to help you if you could post exactly which Lenovo system; notebook / computer, you have and which operating system is installed on it.
    Thanks in advance

  • What is it with the onboard devices on Neo2 Plat.

    What is it with the onboard devices on the Neo2 Plat. The sound really really sucks. Bass is like not there at all, other sounds is of LOW quality - Even with the Nforce driver the sound sucks, infact this is the WORST onboard sound I have ever tried.
    The wireless module is also a tragic "thing". Keeps reseting ur conection every 15 mins or so (I have 3 computers with wireless, the Neo 2 Plat is the only haveing this problem).  When the wireless is working (until the next reset in 15 mins) the Package loss is like 40%???? What is that.
    I thought I had a "DOA" MOBO device, GOT ANOTHER ONE. SAME SHITE.
    Even tried the Win64 RC edition, guess what, same problems.
    If I am wrong about this let me know (find it hard to belive since I have tested 2 Neo2 Plat, with the same problems).

    take a look at the new apple wireless keyboard... they use the same layout.

    First we aren't Apple just normal users just like you.
    Second provide Apple a feedback or send them a mail.
    Third they will never send you a free iPad Air.
    If you want one you have to buy it. (go for refurbished if the device is too expensive) or look for special prices.
    Contact iTunes support if you have a problem with an App.
