With regards to OS upgrade. I see in Torch there is an option to upgrade the OS from within the phone. Is it how you do it in this phone?

Previous BB's I use to download the file on comp and then install on phone.

The OTA upgrade option has never worked for me. Neither has the BBDM upgrade option. I ALWAYS download a new firmware and install it via PC.

Hello All,

few days ago i connected by BB9780 to sync and i got a notification for software update. and i did so. attached is the screen shot of my current software version. Anyone using the same?





Now, the issue here is, my phone has become very slow in functioning ever since i have installed this. I don't have many softwares as such installed except the usual BBM, Gtalk, MSN, Bloomberg etc. I still have 197MB free memory and 1.25GB of memory card space.

Could it be something related to the software version?

Thanks.

and also
well i am using the BB on loop now the issue is i have total for 4 mailboxes 2 gmails and 1 ymail and another rocketmail, last both belonging to yahoo.

Now when on loop site when i registered my BB and added all the four mailboxes
my 2 gmails and the rocketmail got added and also i started recieving mails too on the same,
but the issue is with ymail the thing is as soon as i added this mailbox on loop site i got an activation mail on ymail on my bb when i opened it, it said that i need to change my outlook settings so that it leaves mail on the server and it showed me the subsequent steps too.

But the thing is i have never synced any of my mailboxes including Ymail with outlook, I dont use outlook.

how can this issue be solved ?
also when i added rest of mailboxes on loop site i also got options to sync my contacts with the mailboxes but with Ymail i didnt get this option.
the ymail inobx is very important to me

i faced this problem a while ago. very simple fix. login to yahoo from your pc. once in your mail box you will see your name written as "hi Valhallen" there is a drop down menu next to it. click on "Account" it will ask you to login again.

on the account information page scroll down to Sign-In and Security and click on "Manage Apps and Website Connections"

on that page remove "Yahoo! Mail for RIM/BlackBerry" .

add your mailbox again on BB.
Thats it.

Any idea what are the prices of the Bold 2, Bold 3, Torch in Mumbai without bill?
Last week I checked at Alpha, the Bold 2 and 3 were available for 17500 and 17750 respectively and the Torch for 20000 without bill.
Is there any other place where I can get any of these cheaper?

I do not know of any other place which will give you these phones cheaper than Alfa. I have always bought all my phones from Alfa since they really sell the phones at huge discounts from the MRP. Therefore I suggest you go ahead with your purchase from Alfa.

Updated my tried and tested Bold 9000 from 4 to 5. Love the new interface. Now waiting for the new Bold Touch to retire the original Bold. I guess this one has been developed after the incessant demand for the original 9000 ergonomics with a track pad. Looks like RIM really created the new Bold touch from this feedback and that's a good thing coz the 9000 without a doubt has the best keypad amongst any qwerty keypad device.

I have an old BB handset that I want to use as an ordinary phone. Do I require a special SIM to be used on a BB or any ordinary SIM will do ?

You can use any old sim that you want in your BlackBerry. You can surely use the voice and sms services without a problem.

If you do not want to use data services, make sure you switch it off in Options. Here's a tip how to do that:

Turn off data service

• Depending on your wireless service plan, you might be able to turn off data service (email, PIN and MMS messages, and browser service) on your BlackBerry® device so that only phone and SMS text messaging services are available.
• In the device options, click Mobile Network.
• Perform one of the following actions:

  To turn off data service, change the Data Services field to Off.
  To turn off data service when roaming, change the Data Services field to Off When Roaming.

• Press the Menu key.
• Click Save.

GPSLogger II (available in the app world) is an excellent tool to record gps tracks.
