Is it just me or are Blackberry users getting the short end of the stick at Verizon?

For what seems like forever, Verizon was paying attention to, adding, and upgrading Blackberry options. Suddenly, the Android phones are being added to the shopping list and the same old Blackberrys are for sale. Someone told me today that there was a new Blackberry for sale which caused me to soar with excitement considering I've had an upgrade for a couple of months now and love having new phones, plus I was told it was pink which caused me to rush home to check it out. Due to the fact that I love Blackberry Messenger, I've made a conscious decision to stick with Blackberry. Unfortunately, I get home only to find that the new phone is just a curve and although it is definitely the cutest color I've seen since the Strawberry Chocolate, a Curve, really? I currently have a Tour so going back to a Curve would be like trading in my Hummer for a Minivan. Who is on the test panels that are making these decisions and do they need help because I'd be happy to sit in.
So, for those of us who don't want a touch screen phone but who want to stick with Blackberry, what are we to do? I'm on the verge of switching over to AT&T just so I can get my hands on the latest Blackberry because the lack of options are starting to really frustrate me. Can we get a Torch or some other new and improved Blackberry in a cute color like Fuscia for once? Is this really too much to ask? If they get the lateast phones and can also get them in the latest colors, I'd be willing to bet that these phones would sale. I know I could sale them if I were marketing them. Geez.

I've been surfing through the forums recently, and I'm
not thrilled with what I've seen. People cussing out
newbies, chewing out people for posting questions they
deem unworthy, discussing sex, and using profanity.There is a report abuse function that can and should be used in such instances.
Guys, there are probably children in this
forum!
These forums are unmonitored by Sun staff and therefore not an appropriate place for "children" to be active in.
The younger element is also more likely to be responsible for the abuse than your more mature members here.
I doubt that a seven year old is likely to be roaming these foren, more likely some post-pubescent monster who knows how to post but has no inhibitions about what they post.
this site was created to be a community for
people of all ages and all levels of experience. With
this in mind, why do you suppose that some people are
intentionally being creul to others? Does no one
follow the code of conduct anymore?So use the Report Abuse button
Considering that a lot of posts are along the lines "I am a lazy b******, do my homework for me" it is hardly surprising that some people react allergically.
Personally I think that if you feel the need to vent your spleen hre it is time to take a rest from them for a while.

  • There are multiple users with the same display name

    Hi,
    We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
    "There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
    Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
     SELECT     
         [ProviderDisplayName]  
        ,[DisplayName]  
        ,[HasDisplayName]  
        ,[Domain]  
        ,[AccountName]  
        ,[UniqueUserId]  
        ,[LastSync]  
      FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'  
    Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
    We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
    Best regards

    Hi DSW,  
    Thanks for your post.
    In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
    your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

    Genius bar told me to erase the harddisk and install OSX Maverick again. This has not changed the problems with the system settings

    You need to Repartition the drive as One partition which will erase all data from it and then reinstall OS X. then with the initial setup system you chose the language on the first screen that comes up. That sets the language for the whole system.
    There is no other way of completely removing certain information created by a previous owner. this hold strue whether you are selling or give a Mac to someone.
    To do the repartitioning you need to use the Online Internet Recovery system, if the Mac came with Lion 10.7 or above, or from the original system reinstall discs that came with it when it was new.

  • I just purchased ExportPDF and I cannot get the website to load

    I just purchased ExportPDF and I cannot get the website to load on my computer to sign in.  I tried to export a PDF to convert from the program on my computer and get the "An error occurred while signing in" message.  The tab for the website is the only Adobe page I cannot load.

    Thank you so much for the help.  I had to enter my complete email address using me.com added to my sign in name and then after I got to the next page to enter the settings, I changed the address to not include the me.com information.  From there everything went through just fine.  This ended about a week of frustration trying with many folks at the Verizon Store to help me.  I'm so grateful for your help.

  • Just bought an iphone - blackberry user here...

    OK, I'm a longtime Mac guy, sort of long term Blackberry fan, heavy network engineering type living in an enterprise data environment, but I finally broke down and went iPhone due to the fact it is very easy to connect to my Exchange server.
    This may be a very dumb question but - how the @!*^@#!#! do I do a KEYWORD SEARCH!?!?
    This was a key feature of the Blackberry that I didn't think would be an issue on my iPhone.
    Is there no way to do a search on the mail client?
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: Mike Meyer1

    It's not a great answer but the iPhone has an adequate browser to use exchange OWA and OWA has a search if you really get stuck.
    I am a converting blackberry user -- carry both, BB for office and iPhone personal, and I rarely used search on the BB but I know some who do and not sure why something that simple (even if not indexed and just brute force) isn't in there.
    I've found the iPhone a real mixed e-mail blessing -- much better HTML support, activesync is much more reliable than BES (a real surprise), but I don' thave things like filters. Overall though I think the MUCH better browser makes up for less featured e-mail, especially since so far I've found it to be fully reliable e-mail which to me would have been a killer issue.

  • When Logging in the user gets "The ID you entered was not found"

    I have UCCX v8.  All users can log in fine.  However, I have created a new user and they are getting "The ID you entered was not found".
    1.  The user was created in CUCM, extension made available to UCCX, and device associated to RMuser account
    2.  The user shows up in resoureces and I can assign them to a queue
    3.  The User shows up in Tools/User Management/User List
    4.  You can assign the user to a Team
    5.  The User DOES NOT show up in the Supervisor
    I have tried unassociating and re associating the user's device with the RM User account.
    I have tried restarting the User Desktop Synchronisation Service.
    I have deleted the User acount and recreated it
    I have reset the passsword
    When the user was deleted they showed up under inactive users in UCCX.  I deleted the user from here, recreated the user in CUCM, and the new user showed un in resources.  This suggests that synchonisation is workinhg.
    Anyone have any other ideas that I can try?

    You are not mentioned where you are trying to login is that CAD or Cisco supervisor desktop.
    I also got the same error while I tried to login as Supervisor but the same time I am able to login CAD without any issue.
    When I checked the user in UCCX it's not added as Supervisor so once I did I am able to login
    I did this in UCCX 8.0.2
    Hope this will help

  • Podcasts are "stuck"; keep getting the same podcasts no matter what

    Greetings,
    Gee, it seems the only problem I ever have with my iPhone is syncing. And it's started again.
    I have subscriptions to about 30 podcasts, about half of those are checked to sync with my iPhone. About a week or so ago, I would listen to a podcast but when I synced with iTunes it would get marked as "new" again, reset, and stay on the iPhone. If I manually deleted it on the iPhone, the next sync would copy it back.
    I've have this kind of problem in the past and it eventually just corrected itself, so I've just ignored the problem for several days.
    Now it's gotten completely stuck. Trying to get the iPhone and iTunes to "re-sync" I turned off several podcasts in Podcast tab of iTunes and synced. Nothing happened. The podcasts are still on the iPhone. So I manually deleted from the iPhone and synced again. iTunes copied the disabled and deleted podcast bask to the iPhone!
    So I tried to get radical. I reset and restored my iPhone from backup. Turned off all podcast syncing. All of the podcasts were still on the iPhone. I then turned podcast syncing back on, but unchecked every one of my regular podcasts and then check one, and only one, podcast that I normally never listen to on the iPhone. I then manually deleted +every single podcast+ on the iPhone. When I synced with iTunes, *iTunes (again) copied every single one of the disabled podcasts back to the iPhone!!!* Oh, and the one podcast I asked iTunes to put on the iPhone; it's not there. ;(
    How can I "reset" the synchronization of podcasts between my iPhone and iTunes so they're talking to each other again? And please don't say wipe your iPhone—I have dozens of applications with settings and data that would all be lost. It would be easier to give up podcasts than the day it would take me to reconfigure every iPhone app.

    I appear to have found a fix.
    I changed my sync settings to 'manually manage music'.
    Once i applied this the podcast icon underneath my device disappeared.
    I then unchecked 'manually manage music' and applied the change.
    the podcast icon underneath my device in itunes flickered on and off a few times then when it was finished syncing all the podcasts had gone.

  • One Exchang 2013 user gets "The Microsoft Administrator has made a change that requires you to quit and restart Outlook" each time his desktop is rebooted.

    I recently migrated all of my users from Exchange 2007 to 2013. One Outlook user gets this prompt each time he opens Outlook after rebooting his desktop. He gets it after every reboot.
    I tried re-creating his Outlook profile and that did not resolve the issue. I also tried to create an Outlook profile for him on a different desktop and got the same message.

  • How many ways are there to get the Width/Height of an image ?

    I am currently using the following code to get the width and hight of an image :
    BufferedImage Buffered_Image=ImageIO.read(new File(Image_Path));
    int Image_Width=Buffered_Image.getWidth();
    int Image_Height=Buffered_Image.getHeight();I don't need to get the image (*.jpg, *.gif, *.png), just want to know it's dimensions. I wonder how many other ways are available to do the same thing in a Java application ?
    Frank

    That's what I thought. I am asking because I hit a wall and am trying to find a different approach.Yeah, if you only have one file type you can probably write the code to read the header in 20 min.
    I packed my programs into an executable Jar file which I can run and access images on my C:\ drive, everything worked fine until I tried to experiment with something new. I know that I can force JVM to pre-load all my java classes just after it starts, so I deleted the jar right after the program pre-loaded all my classes and tried to see if it would work, but now I get a null pointer error when it tried to get the width/height of an existing image, because ImageIO.read return null. ( The same image is still on my C:\ drive )Sounds like a strange thing you're doing here. What's the point of this?
    So I wonder why it makes a difference after I deleted the jar, what was the problem ( or do I need to pre-load another class related to ImageIO.read ? ), and maybe if I use something else other than the ImageIO.read to get the width/height, I can bypass the problem.I dunno why you need to do this preload stuff and/or delete anything. I'd say leave the JVM and the app alone if possible.

  • When siri comes out of beta, will iphone 4s users get the full siri?

    I would like to know that will only the future users of Iphone 5 benefit from full siri or will it be updated for Iphone 4s as well?

    No one here can answer that for sure but most likely 4s will get the "full Siri", less whatever new hardware features are in the next iPhone.

  • My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of getting the IPhone 4S.  My question is can we both use the functions of Icloud on the same account at Verizon or do we have to have separate accounts to be able to use all the features

    My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S.  My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?

    If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

  • Firefox just won't open. I get the little timer that indicates that something is happening but nothing ever happens, no error message, firefox just doesn't open at all. Internet Explorer opens fine and firefox opened fine yesterday.

    Firefox has always worked great, no problems. Today it just would not open at all. The hourglass showed up like it was going to open but nothing would happen. I then right clicked the icon and chose open and the same thing happened which was nothing. I get no error message at all.

    One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
