That way, the right experts will have the best visibility.
In the meantime, check your carriers download page -- they control the device OS release for their customers.

Battery for a curve 8330

Where can i buy a battery for a curve 8330?
please help

Most any store that sells BlackBerrys.... as well as eBay,.
Where are you? In the US, any Verizon, ATT, Sprint or Tmobile store would have that blue CS2 battery. It also fits the 8300, 8310, 8320 and the 8700 if I recall correctly.

Largest Media Card Capacity for BB Curve 8330

I have read the largest supported capacity for the BB curve 8330 is 8 GB but I was wondering if anyone had tried any larger capacities memory cards with any success or failure. I would love to put all my music on my phone, but 8 GB is not going to hold it all. I have A LOT of music. I would need at least 16 GB to get by with to be able to have room for all my music, pictures and videos. But before I run out and spend a bunch of money on a larger card I wanted to know if anyone else had tried it.

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.

Compatible Headsets for BB Curve 8330

Anyone know where I can find out what headsets are compatible with the Curve 8330? I'm really liking the BlueAnt V9i but I want to make sure it will work. Anyone know?

Thanks Jeremy & Sugrat for the reassurance that most headsets will work with my Curve!
I have to apologize for my model number goof, it was the Z9i that I was looking at. I had originally gone to Plantronics mfg. website to check on the Voyager 520, but their interactive product finder said it wasn't compatible & were only suggesting their products as alternatives. When I couldn't find anything on BlueAnt's website that said it was compatible with this specific model (it just said BlackBerry), I thought maybe they were proprietary (& hoping not!).
So as long as the headset is compatible with BT2.0, then I should be ok, correct?

Blackberry Bridge for BB Curve 8330 with sprint

I cannot upgrade to OS 5 with Sprint to access BB Bridge. Anyone know if Sprint supports BB Bridge?

It's not a case of Sprint not supporting bridge - they do with all phones that run OS5 and above.
The 8330 will not upgrade to OS5.

Email Setup Application for my Curve 8330

I recently updated the desk top to the current verison. Under applications it shows email setup application required, but it will not let me set it up. Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do?
Thanks

So what happens when you click on that icon?
Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

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

Curve 8330 first time synch with data loaded into smartphone

With other smartphones, when I would perform my FIRST synch, if I did not take certain precautions (preset synch software to specific settings) I would wipe out all data on smartphone . Is this true for the Curve 8330? Are there specific settings so when I synch my phone for the first time with data I already loaded, I do not wipe it clean?

Hey TomPortua,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The first synchronization does not erase the data on the BlackBerry Smartphone unless synchronization options are configured to "Replace all data in the target application", by default this is not selected if it is configured for Two way sync.
Have a look at this article for more information no configuring the Desktop software for Synchronization:

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.

Facebook 2.0 Upgrade on Curve 8330 Problems.

I've got a Blackberry Curve, 8330 (v4.5.0.191) (Platform 3.4.0.62), currently have Facebook 1.9.0.28 installed, running fine. I've gotten a notification saying Facebook 2.0 is available, but I cannot download it for some reason. I go to the "Options" setting within Facebook, "Check for Upgrade," get a notification saying there's one available, etc. Click the "Yes" button to perform the update, which opens the BlackBerry Browser. The page ends up being blank. The page address is
http://www.blackberry.com/app_includes/mobileapps/facebook/static/index_redirect.shtml
Have tried various emulation modes with the BlackBerry browser, as well as trying to get -somewhere- using Opera, which is also installed on my phone with no avail. I have no cord to sync my phone to my computer and do it that way, as I moved and a few things were misplaced.
I've gone through the Blackberry App World, although it shows that the newest version is 1.9.0.28, even though I know there was a recent release. My phone is entirely up to date, as far as OS and everything else goes.
Is there a place I could download the .jar/.jad file directly? or is there a fix for this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Same with mine.
Apprently there's a new OS release for the 8330 (v5.0.0.438), although not released through all carriers. My phone is "Up to date" according to the over-the-air Wireless Update in the settings thinger (I use Verizon), but this is installable. I personally have issues getting the Loader.exe to work , but you may have better luck. Have a gander at this thread-

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!

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
