How to update OS on Blackberry STorm
Apr 4, 2009, 8:27 AM
in the Verizon forum
I have OS .65 on my Blackberry Storm. I have tried to use the wireless update feature under advanced options to upgrade to what I understand is the latest version (.75). Every time I have tried to use that feature it tells me no update is available. Any thoughts on how to actually get to the correct version. Thanks

I have found this interesting site that allows you to download music free but it has Digital Magament RIghts and seems to only work through Windows Media Player. I tried to download these to my w580i but it does not recognize the songs. Or I should say does not play them. Is there any way to make these songs work on my SOny? Any thoughts? Thanks

Help with Sony W580i

I am looking to change to AT&T and have seen this small music phone by Sony. It seems to have great features for the price. I have seen some comments in various places that say it might not hold up real well. Any feedback from folks on whether this would be a good phone over a 2-year contract? Any other options we should look at? I think my wife is keen on its ability to replace ...

Everyone, I have a family share plan that I got over Memorial Day last year. We got two Motorola E815s using the online purchase function. The phones have not been great and my wife wants another one. I go online and it says that I can only change the phone if I pay full retail. Does anyone have any other options that I can explore? SHe really wants something different to use. Thanks

A couple of questions

in the Verizon forum
A couple of questions that won't to throw out for input: 1) Is there an update to the E815 coming out this yearr? 2)Will VZW have a BOGO RAZR sale that includes the Pink one? 3) When might we see the RAZR V3m that seems to have a few of the features that make the E815 attractive? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

That is disappointing that this is only the grey model. My wife would like the pink one and made that a condition of my possibly switching (she says the ad did not mention color of the phone). Any change to get a pink one and a free grey one? Thanks

I just saw an add in the ATlanta paper that the Verizon has the RAZR for $99 after rebate and that you can get them buy one get one free. This seems like a good deal. Does anyone have any details? Is it color specific, any data plan requirements, etc. The add did not seem to be long on those kinds of specifics. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Nokia 6256i for $29 at Circuit City

in the Verizon forum
I saw an ad today in the Atlanta newspaper for a three day only sale which had the Nokia 6256i with a free Bluetooth Headset for $29. I assume that this would need a two year contract. Seems like a good deal for a moderately featureed phone and a bluetooth headset. Anyone have an thoughts on why this might not be such a good idea? Thanks in advance.

I am looking to move to Verizon from Cingulat at the beginning of the year. I keep seeing these ads on this forum for companies like Let"s Talk.com that offer the Motorola E815 for free with rebates. Has anybody had any experience with this type of way to initiate service? Can they port numbers over? What do you do while the phone is in transit? As you can see I have some questions about ...

I am looking to switch over to Verizon from Cingular Service. I have been told that the Motorola E815 is one of the best phone currently available on Verizon (especially where reception and call quality are concerned).

It seems too that my phone does not receive as good a signal at my ...

I have had my V400 for a couple for days and had two questions I hope someone can help me with. 1) I seem to have the voicemail symbol always on my screen (even when there is no voicemail). Is there anyway to get the symbol to go away? 2) My phone seems real slow to reacquire service signal. I went to the network menu but the only options there is automatic or selecting 850/1900 or 900/1800. There is no other ...

Check out Best Buy. They had the phone for $149 with a $50 mail-in rebate or a $150 mail-in rebate if you buy two (like Family Plan). They only require a 1 year but you can sign up for a 2 if you like.

I have a Samsung 700 PDA/Phone and seem to have va problem that the thing will dial numbers on its own. I think this is from the fact that when I close up the case I have it in and place in my pocket, I must be excuting a dial command. Is there any way to "lock" the phone while not in use so this will not happen? I have not seen anything in the manual for it. Any help ...
