[Guest tophu]

^I think every blackberry ive seen in Canada range from 400-500 bucks CAD (with out contract)

i have the Curve 8330 with bell I freakin hate it, and with the tour I think every carrier 'cept wind/ koodoo might have it.

Hm.. really? $400-500?! Wow I don't have that kind of money lol..

What about the blackberry pearl?

What do you hate about the Curve?

[Guest BEBED0LLIE]

I'm new to Blackberries.. I've had a cheap flip phone for months now haha.

Which one is better? Blackberry Curve or Blackberry Tour 9630?

What carriers have this phone? Or does it matter? And how much are they in Canada?

I'm a bit tight on money but I want one soo bad lol.

curve is $400 i believe at fido. the bold is around $550 at rogers! you should go on a contract then ? (: i think you'd pay like $20 bucks for a curve and like $100 for a bold on a 3 year contract.

I might go on VirginMobile.. I'm with Koodos right now. I'm not sure which to switch to. Should I go on the tab? They have the Blackberry Curve 8530 heh.

What do you hate about the Curve?

The pearl is the slowest one out there. I have the 8330 from Bell, and I asked the guy which one would be better and faster.

If you don't mind it being slow, but prefer the slow phone then the pearl might be better.

anny ways is there a free app for the blackberry that black lists phonenumber? I have this one person that keeps calling and telling him off never seems to work. Another person keeps texting me and if i don't respond he thinks im ignoring him, and if i do respond he bombards my phone with texts which is kind of annoying while im at work.

For the people who have the Verizon Blackberry 9650, have any of you had a problem with the trackpad yet? Not really a problem I guess. I just recently got mine on Friday (8/6) and on Sunday I noticed my trackpad was tilted to the right. The right side of the trackpad has fallen in unleveled. I read on the reviews that this a common problem. I'm still debating if I should go in today and get it replaced or not. I'm a new blackberry user as well and its disappointing that only after a few days that I'm having problems. Is it worth going in to get a new one or should I just keep it as is. If its going to happen to the next one I dont know if its worth exchanging. If you guys could tell me what you think that'd be great! Thanks

Soo what would be a good GPS free app?

I was thinking of re downloading Google Maps, since Blackberry maps is slow and GPS nav isn't free.

I had both Google Maps and Mapquest on my Curve but I like Google Maps. Like someone already mentioned, it's great when someone is sitting next to you and can dictate. If you get off track, though, it's kind of slow and annoying. Or maybe it's just my phone haha

How do I add a new display language to my Blackberry (9700 Bold if it makes any difference) because all I see is little squares in replace of characters in other languages...

It's doing my head in argggh D:

I think it said to go to Desktop Manager and change it from there but I don't get how

Hey I got a similar prob as urs. I'm using a bold 9700 as well. When i first switched on my bb and did my setup, i didn't choose a lot of languages for the input language. Now i want to type japanese but can't. I tried clearing data but i still can't add more languages to my input language :/ I went to Desktop Manager as well but there aren't any options to add input languages. Anybody can help??

[Guest tirahbunny]

youre gonna have to install the languages from Desktop manager.

what i did was, i found an update file for my BB so i went from 4.6 to 5.0, and before it updated, it showed a list of things that i could choose to update and i added all the language packs.

[Guest UnknownMelody]

Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while, but only bot my blackberry like a month ago. LOVE IT.

anyways, I made some wallpaper for my bold 9000, thought I would share.

Kinda girly, LOL. But I have more manly ones too. If any guys want any wallpaper just ask, and I'll post
