So I’ve got the Blackberry back. It turns out the old one did not survive enough for data transfer; I tried hooking it up and the computer registered it as new hardware, but then the Desktop Manager refused to see it as connected. The latest backup I had was July 29th so I restored that [...]

Phone Run Over
FYI folks, I will not be accessible by mobile phone for a few days. My Blackberry Curve just got run over by a car. I was getting out of my car and I heard it fall but I didn’t see where it went. Spent 10 minutes looking all over. Then spotted it…in the middle of [...]
Skin Choice
Not that anybody should actually care, but I got the red skin. Only 5 people liked that, and 12 people preferred the pink one, but I couldn’t help it. I wanted elegant this time around. kdlb, gretchen_marie, serijules, and sunnydale47 all gave great reasons for choosing the pink one, and my wife preferred that one [...]
Fixed Camera
I finally fixed the issue with my phone. I have no idea what the problem was, but I fixed it. I completely disassembled my phone (turned out to need T5 and T6 drivers), blew on the camera a lot, and put it all back together…mostly. It doesn’t quite all snap together right anymore, and I’m [...]
End of the Month
Tonight I went with my best friends to see Mamma Mia – the movie, not the play. I hadn’t been expecting to, but I found out this morning that they had already made plans, so I asked if I could join. The movie was cute, but damn, I really see why they say there is [...]
Troubleshooting My Phone
My damn phone’s camera still doesn’t work. I’m really annoyed. I spent close to six hours tonight trying to fix it, and I ended up doing everything from upgrading to bricking to wiping to reloading and a whole lot in between. And the camera STILL doesn’t work. The only thing that’s different is I’m now [...]
Upgraded to Blackberry OS 4.5.0.42
Here is the result of my Blackberry OS upgrade, which went beautifully. That’s right, the new OS gives my Curve video capability. And the HTML emails aren’t too shabby either. I’m happy!
New Blackberry Models
When I saw on BBCool that the Blackberry 8820 is about to be released, I got slightly worried. The article reported that the phone will combine GPS and wifi in one unit, which as far as I can tell is a first for Blackberry devices. If this phone had a camera, I would have been [...]
Hello from Blackberry
I am making a real quick post from my new phone. To my amazement, AT&T actually came through with an unlock code – I thought for sure they wouldn’t. But they did! Unfortunately I had already given up on them and ordered another Curve, already unlocked, with the intention of returning this one. The seller [...]
Blackberry Curve 8310
I just bought a fancy new phone. A very fancy, state of the art, not crippled by T-Mobile, phone. I bought a Blackberry Curve 8310 in Titanium, and it is my dream phone. At first my wife said I absolutely couldn’t buy it, but she finally relented! Instead of getting me a PS2 for my [...]
