BlackBerry 8830

the calendar on the 8830 won't synch with the blackberry desktop manager. the tasks and all else synch fine. does anyone else have this problem or perhaps a solution?

I am going crazy.... I have a verizon 8830 and a brand new Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset (which says will do voice dial).... but although the device works for answering calls etc... when I press the headset to activate a call - The screen says Voice Dialing Activating, please wait.... and then does nothing..... Help! 😳

I've accidentily called 911 twice because of this feature. Is it possible to turn it off?

Has anyone found a way to get the life timer on this device? I know on most phones its ##786# but on the blackberry it just takes you to reset, anyone know a way to get the life timer? Thanks!

Does anyone really know if the GPS is disabled on the 8830? How do you know for sure and if so how do I tell this is the case on the phone?

Thanks

I just arrived in Grand Cayman with my brand new Blackberry 8830 "WORLD EDITION" and does my phone work? No! I'm getting an irritating "Device Error: 348". Wow, so glad I got the fancy World Edition phone from Verizon! Pathetic!

I went to a conference last week in Puerto Rico, and as soon as I got off the plane, I got a "device error :348" message. Try as I might, it would not work. When I called Verizon from a land line, I was told that there is a software error in the phone, and that it does NOT work in Puerto Rico. There were 4 other people at the conference with the same phone and the same problem!!!

World phone??!!

To make matters worse, I asked them if I could buy a phone and have it fed ex'd to me so I would at least be able to make/get calls. They would not ship to Puerto Rico.

I wound up buying an ATT prepaid phone at the local Radio Shack.

When I landed in Houston on the way home, the phone started working fine.

Another QA vic...

i have a friend who just recently purchased the 8830 and she has a few ringtones that she got through bluetooth. now her question is how can she delete them? i know it sounds simple as click on it and delete it but it doesnt, after pressing delete they are still there. is it somehow locked where it cant be erased that easily? any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance. 😁

IM Kinda in a pickle....not sure what to do..i recently went from having a Palm Treo 700p to having a Blackberry 8703e, but now im contemplating whether or not I want to take Verizon up on their 30 day offer and switch to a 8830. Im a bit apprehensive because the customer reviews that the 8703e gets are far better than that of the 8830. The main reason I want make the switch is because the 8830 seems to have more features than the 8703. Plus I feel the 8703e is better suited for the Bussiness type and IM not there yet. I love surfing the browser, receiving emails, so I think the 8830 would be a little more fun....Can anyone let me know what they think? Thank you for reading all this!

I heard there is going to be a new blackberry phone thats going to be similar to the 8830 but has some added features. I really like the curve but not sure if it will be out for Verizon, anybody heard anything?

thanks!!!

does anyone know how to do this? i tried to do this and i couldn't play it. Any ideas?

I've seen several posts but no solutions/resolutions (even from the verizon-wireless post on may 26, 2007). I just got my 8830 last week and it's on 4.2.2.66 and the ringer volume is like the low setting on my 8703. Anybody heard about if/when this is going to be fixed? Otherwise it's going back and I'll wait for a curve. I compared the 8830 to a Cingular 8800 and the 8800 ringer was like my 8703..

The profile when set to loud, the ringer right out of the box is low. After messing with it, i went into profiles and edited the ringer. Everything like messages, sms, etc was set on high when on Loud profile. There was just one thing that was set at Medium, thats right the ringer. Set it to high and its perfectly fine. Now this phone is my perfect phone and the best i've ever had.

I had the LG 8100 and had the drivers, through the music essential kit, to tether the phone. Now with the 8830 there is no music essentials kit to get the drivers needed. Has anyone found drivers for the 8830 to tether without having to use VZ Manager through Verizon Wireless? Or has anyone figured out how to do this with the software that was provided with the device? I was told that they were in there but when I tried to set it up it didn't work for me. I went through all the same steps I did with the LG but still didn't work.

I started a Yahoo Plus subscription on 7/20/07, email recevied to BB for day or so then today none again. Can anyone help? I have been on phone with Data team at VZW for an hour. Thanks

So I got this phone almost a week ago. Truth be told I am trying it out and comparing to the Mogul. Initial impressions were a landslide victory for the 8830, but then a few days later, I got the BES hooked up. Now my battery is gone by 5:00. Even my Q lasted longer than that. Any tips for a newbie to the crackberry on why my batt is so atrocious? I played with it constantly for 2 days straight and still had 25% until I added the BES. I have my other email accounts set to reconcile hourly.

Hey all, I've got one of these now, and I am fiendishly searching for themes, I hope it's not too early for there to be *SOMETHING* out there besides the basics that came with. Anyone have a source??

Hi All,

I just received my 8830 and was wondering if the BlackBerry crowd on Sprint has resolved the following issues:
1. Can I dedicate the side button to mute/vibtrate only?

2. Has anybody downloaded a 3rd party application to replicate the calander or text function on the 8830? Similar to the Treo 700Palm system...i.e., color coded.

I appreciate your honesty and consideration in advance.

Hi,

A co-worker had an 8830 and when you scrolled the menus the item that was selected was magnified. I thought that was a neat feature. When I received my 8830 I could not find an option to do the same thing. I asked the guy how did he do that? He said his phone came that way and did not know. He poked around and disabled the feature, but does not know what hed did and cannot get the 8830 to magnify the menu item again.

Does anyone know about this feature and how to enable it?

Mike

Will this phone ever be released by VZW with a black exterior like the Sprint version? I can't believe I won't buy this thing because of the color, but it really is holding me back??? Thanks in advance.....
