BlackBerry 8830

I know this has been asked before, but I'm still somewhat confused. I've read through the threads on this as well.

Is there an additional fee for tethering? Or does it just get deducted from your minutes?

Do you use the USB cable that comes with the BB?

Does the BB include the necessary software/hardware to tether? Or do I have to buy some sort of bundle?

Is there a difference in tethering for the 8703 versus the 8830?

Thanks,

Mike

Trying to find the right solution to enable a folder re-direct from outlook to the phone. With multiple folders in outlook and server side rules set up it will not allow the "rule" directed messages to send along. Any advice out there?

Thanks for your input.

I just got the BB 8830 & the calendar doesn’t work. I am able to enter an appointment with a reminder but it never rings/vibrates/flashes to remind me. I changed all the appropriate settings in my active profile. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

So I've been trying and trying to do certain things online like playing random online games, or watching videos on youtube or sports clips and stuff like that using my 8830, and it says I need to enable Java. Now either I'll enable it and I get an error message saying it failed, or it won't even give me the option of enabling Java to watch the video. Any idea on how to permanently enable Java or why I'm not able to do anything beyond basic internet surfing on the phone? I really want to at least be able to catch some sports highlights or something on the phone, but no luck so far. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Is there a shortcut to set the phone on vibrate mode?

As of now I have to go into the application menu and select Profiles and then Vibrate. Thanks.

I have a moto Q that I purchased June 06 I would like to switch to the 8830 without effecting my current contract with vzw is there any way to to get the phone?

I love the 8830 but I've noticed the voice dialiing isn't very good. I know that's subjective, I'm comparing it to the voice dialing on my Razr. I've read a few posts about the microphone on the 8830 being overly sensitive?

Just wondered if others have found the voice dialing feature on the 8830 sub par. This is rather irritating as the small keyboard doesn't favor keying in numbers.

It seesm that contrary to the information out there and whatever information Sprint has put out this phone may have a locked SIM. I tried to buy it on the Sprint website and at checkout I got this message: *You can change the rate plan and add on services once the upgraded phone is activated.
SIM Card included in your new device must remain in the device (swapping is prohibited).*
I read it to mean that the SIM is locked and cancelled the transaction. No one at Sprint could give me more info.

Has anyone seen the Sprint version, or if not, is anyone aware of a release date?

I'm looking at acquiring the 8830. Have used the XV6700 for about 1 1/2 years, piece of junk. However, I use MS Exchange Server and MS Apps so the Smart Phone Windows OS is handy. Along those lines:

1. Will the 8830 work with Exchange Server? I don't care about push, pull or any of that, just so I can set the device to get my email every 30 minutes (or so) and manually on my command.

2. Can I view MS Attachments (Word, Excel)? Can I modify them? Will it play a PowerPoint Presentation? Will it read PDF attachments?

3. Is the volume when listening to it as a phone really good? I am slightly hard hearing so this is important. XV6700 is rancid. How is the speakerphone?

4. Assuming it synchronizes with MS Exchange Serve...

I call a lot of businesses, a number of which has a automated answering service and you can dial the extension by last name. With a regular phone keyboard, that's easy enough to figure out. How do you do it with this phone?

Hi,

I was wondering how AIm runs on this phone. I'm thinking of purchasing it but I need AIM to run well.

Thanks,

Cheryl

How does the Verison 8830 work with Vista? The Q had a number of issues and before I purchase I want to make certain there are no issues.

Not! The AT&T version gets a camera and Verizon gets the version without the camera. Verizon is making too many blunders lately. i.e. iphone.

how do i put the 8830 back to factory settings?

my 8830 did not come with a sim card. verizon said
i'm supposed to request it? can i just get it at a big vzw store? that's what the rep said? anyone else know wut to do?

also, they told me that to make and receive calls, it's just whatever the roaming rate is...but what about email? will i still receive that in europe?
thanks
