wow, it came in less than 2 days.

So far...

I like it. It def cuts down on my texting while driving - but that is a good thing. My first phone call with my fiance and he couldn't believe how well the sound quality was compared to my old razor.

I like getting my email but also now realize how i don't get very many emails.

I just want to get some real ring tones and figure out how to get the setup wizard off of the front screen.

Yes pearl 8130.

get a microSD memory card. I believe the 8130's use BlackBerry OS 4.1 which supports memory cards up to 4gb. You can get great prices on newegg.com & i would suggest a SanDisk, Corsair or Kingston memory card.

Throw your songs on the memory card, and then you can assign custom rings to certain callers or functions (calender, tasks, calls, ect)

ok so this morning

all text message gone out of my box, i did set it for 15 days
All call history is gone
It won't let me into my address book, at all. But if I manually put a number in, and they were saved. The address book shows up.

Any ideas?

I did get the warranty on it so i want to know if you think it is fubared or if there is a setting on it i missed.

Oh and one point I couldn't make a call because it said the radio got turned off.

I did power it off and on again but it didn't help.

Do a reset. Pull the battery out and put it back in.

Thanks now I can get in the address book!

Any ideas why it did this?

And doing a power off, even a full power off, doesn't reset the memory. So if you're running short on memory, you need to do a hard reset by pulling the battery.

I normally have my phone do a 5 minute auto power off and on nightly and pull the battery maybe every 2 weeks on my 8300 Curve.

I thought it might be this but wasn't sure of the symptoms.

Thanks!
