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 -Question about apps and Vcast

BlackBerry Curve 8330 Questions???

Whats going on? I have a question about my wifes 8330. She has been getting these messages from a random number but in the message it says //BREW:0104F4BC:0ZMAILCI= and more random letters and numbers following. So I wiped her phone last night thinking it would get rid of whatever is doing that because I did it to my Storm and it worked. Well it didnt work on her phone, the messages still come and now she cant reply to emails, it says no message services configured, you will only be able to save draft. Can someone help me resolve these two issues? Thank you.

Blackberry Curve 8330 (sprint) only revievestext messages from sprint customers

I just got my first blackberry yesterday, its Sprint's Curve 8330, I have no problem texting back and forth between other sprint users, and all other users can recieve my messages, but when they text me back, the text never comes through to my phone.
HELP!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Since SMS/MMS are a carrier-provided function via your voice services with them, I'd suggest contacting them for assistance since it is most likely an issue with their provisioning of you on their network.
Unless you are using BBMessenger...in which case it would be different...
Good luck and let us know!

BlackBerry Curve 8330 Email Deletion Question

Greetings and Salutations Black Berry People!
I have a BlackBerry Curve 8330 and a question concerning it.
My phone is currently connected to an exchange server that I sync with my phone. Is there a way to delete emails from my phone all at once, a mass purge of old emails under 1 condition: I don't want the emails on the exchange ( the old ones) to be deleted as well.
I've set my phone to delete messages from my phone after 30 days but can I do what I said in the above paragraph now?
Thanks a bunch!

hello,
in the messages application options, there is one to check delete on : handheld only.
so that if you delete a message on your blackberry, it is not deleted on the server.
in the messages list, you can hover on a date, hit menu key and select "delete prior". It will delete all messages that have a date before that date.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!
