BlackBerry Makes a Bold Debut with the 9000

About a week ago a new icon showed up at the top of my screen. It's a circle with an arrow pointing to the seven o'clock position and a 1 beside it. Dose ANYONE have any ideas what this is?? I've been to two ATT stores and they don't have a clue.

Need some help and thanks so much in advance.

If i have centennial do i have to get an unlocked blackberry bold?
I've heard that att was going to buy centennial and i've heard people say that they bought them already. whats up with that????

Overture:
The company at the back of the BlackBerry is Research in Motion (RIM). In 1999, The first BlackBerry phone was launched and since then, several pleasant models have been appeared in the market. The current BlackBerry product portfolio now endeavors at a broader target group of regular consumers. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 smartphone has obviously taken more than one thing into account.

Impression:
IThe BlackBerry Bold 9000 smart phone appears in a simple black box with the BlackBerry logo as the only enrichment on the outside. The included accessories are a headset, a data cable and a battery charger. Unfortunately, there is no software CD included; the software is available for download on the BlackBerry Internet site. The Bla...

Would anyone comment as to whether or not the screens on these are durable?

Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a new BlackBerry coming out this year for AT&T?
I want to get the Bold but if there is a new one coming out I may wait!
Thanks

I have updated to the latest Desktop Manager (4.7) with Media Manager, and I can connect the Bold to my PC and synchronize successfully. However, neither Media Manager nor Media Sync are able to connect to the Bold. They prompt for password if it happens to be locked, and the Sync app says it's having difficulty and asks if I want to retry, which doesn't work. The manager app simply doesn't show the device. What's going on? I've tried with mass storage mode on or off. I've tried Desktop Manager 4.6 and I've tried without the media apps to connect (I'm used to a WinMo devie that shows the storage card as a drive on the PC, and I just drag and drop - seems Blackberry doesn't like that idea). I've tried writing to the storage card directly, but...

Where can I get movies for viewing on bb? I have a 4gb micro card slamming in and ready go. What do I do and where can I go? Any programs to take dvd movies and "shrink" to file to view on BB? I know there is a way! Share the knowledge!!!

Rumor has it that Sprint has the Bold on the way. It was originally announced in January that is would be first quarter. Obviously, we are in the second quarter and the hearsay is it may be released this summer.
Does anybody know anything about concrete release dates?

Does anyone know anything about a version of the Blackberry Bold being developed for Verizon Wireless?

Hey all:

On day 3 w BB Bold, I exp'd an "uncaught exception java.lang.nullpointerexpection" error. Anyone heard of this error and phone failure?

It's a REFURBISHED phone. But I learned affects all BB OS. Starts w losing WiFy signal, then the screen began to brighten on its own, and then froze. ATT store rep saw this error and looked it up, and said is an OS problem and phone would have to go back back. But ATT tel reps say differently. It finally resolved after several resets.

In search on the net, error seems related to some type of conflict with saved SIM contacts and the program mgr/ Outlook contacts.

I like the phone, but this error is troubling. Anyone have exp with this error? Should I not synch my phone w PC? W BB Mgr? W O...

Has anyone else experienced this while browsing the internet with the Bold? I was told by tech support to have it exchanged, but this one is doing it too?

Can we use them on this phone?

Am considering waiting for this phone rather than purchasing the storm. I just don't think I can get used to the touch screen keypad.

I am wanting to get the BB Bold and access email and internet using wi-fi at home and work. I don't really need it while on the road. I am wondering if I can access wi-fi service without needing a subscription to at&t's data plan. Anyone know?

Hi,

First BB and love it, but the synchronization is so much longer and tedious than Active Sync.
Am I doing something wrong? All I want to do is update any changes made to either the device or Outlook.

Thanks

i see a ton of threads dating back to november asking this one question....what about the bold on verizon wireless?
YES! i got the inside scoop it will have but it will be a newer version with a verizon twist of course. verizon will also be picking up the blackberry pearl flip and a push to talk blackberry this year.
when will this be launched?? no clue yet. i will keep in touch 😁

I just got the Bold, switching from Verizon. I am very surprised and hope I'm missing something here, but is there only a call history memory of the last 20 calls?

Thanks,

hey guys,

sorry for such a simple question but i'm a new blackberry user..just got the bold and read forums about people tethering it to there laptop to go online...can this be done without the additional tethering package or you have to pay extra for it?

any help is appreciated...thanks

Hey everyone. So I haven't been able to receive any emails since Friday. I was wondering if anyone else has had these issues. If not, is there anyway to check what's going on either on the ATT Blackberry website where you set up your emails or do I need to call ATT. Thanks.

I have read conflicting posts stating that the Bold was UMA enabled. Can someone please clear this up for me. Greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I have been trying to install the .219 update to my Bold and it won't upgrade. I downloaded the upgrade and I am just connecting my Bold to my PC,I don't have desktop manager, and clicking open the installer and it says that it is running and then it is done in like 5 minutes but when I check the software version on the Bold it says that it is still on .167. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone explain the process please. Thanks.
