I'm very excited to have used Bluetooth for my first time. Transferring photos to my Mac was a snap with my Curve 8320. Here is how I did it:
1) Turn Bluetooth on, on both the Mac and the Blackberry.
2) If your computer is located, you're prompted for a numerical code on the Blackberry. Make up a number. The purpose here is to make sure you're in control of the computer you're saying you want to beam to.
Immediately after, a prompt will pop up on the Mac to enter the same set of numbers.
2) Go to view your photos on the Blackberry. Select one you want to send and select to Send it with Bluetooth.
Voila!
The only thing I can't figure out is how to select ALL photos to do this at once.
Any ideas? And do you have other ideas of how to transfer photos? I don't have an SD card but I know you can plug a mass storage device into the Curve.
Parallels recognizes the USB connection and sees the 8130. The Blackberry Device Manager detects the device and gets the PIN. The Blackberry Desktop Manager does not think any devices are attached. HELP!
I am trying to connect via USB in order to synch with Outlook.
I am running Windows XP SP2. I have installed (several different times to be sure of clean installation) BB desktop manager. I connect my BB 7130e to the cpu via USB, and the desktop manager recognizes it, but when I click on anything it only says "communication error" and tells me to reconnect and try again. Nothing I have done has worked!!!! Please help!!
Yesterday I discovered that I can listen to music on my Blackberry Curve using my iPod earbud. But then when someone called I wasn't able to hear them through the earbud.
I'm curious if you've found you can use certain iPod earbuds with a Curve or not. The whole things of having to buy 2 adapters to work in the Curve is a huge pain!
For the past 5 years or so I've been a Treo person, and while I tried over the past year to move to another smart phone that included more fun multimedia features, everything came up short - until the Blackberry Curve 8320 came out.
Why I love it:
-Super fast trackball and navigation between apps. The phone book is smart. On the Palm if I started typing a phone # while in Contacts, the Palm assumed I was trying to find a contact and didn't start dialing if no contact was found. RIM gets that it should be an all in one experience.
-2 megapixel camera is very decent.
-Voice dialing and voice messages. Fun fun fun.
-Fast awesome browser. I'd tried a Windows phone earlier this year and it used to freeze up all the time.
-Alarms on Tasks! Imagine that. Something I had missed with Palm OS.
-Feels substantial in my hand - not too heavy or light. Definitely easy to type if you came from a Treo especially.
-Phone plan on Tmobile is $60 for 1000 minutes plus all you can eat email and web.
-Even my major "end user" sister was able to make phone calls without asking me how. Somehow the Palm OS and Treo navigation always stumped her.
What I'd like to see:
I am not an Outlook person and so I have yet to sync the Blackberry with a desktop client. That's kind of worrisome but hopefully I will figure out a solution soon. Except for a problem with the address book sync being broken I think I can keep syncing with Palm Desktop (as I had imported my Palm data that way, using the Blackberry desktop manager)
The little center ring that holds the "pearl" in place has dislodged and won't stay in place anymore. What to do? Bought it 6 months ago, can I stil take it back to AT&T? Would Blackberry service it?
It's not insured.
MUSIC HELP!! I really want to add music to my BB Peral. How do I active my My MASS storage?? Also when I try to go to My Media Space this is what it says: UPnP Devices have been detected however this PC in not currently authorized to browse them. Please Change the security settings on those devices to authorize this PC.
for 3 days I have been recieving emails from network@etp.na.blackberry.net that say
"this message is used to carry data between Blackberry handheld and an associated server. Do not delete, move or respond, it will be processed by server. I am getting about 500(!) a day. What is it and how do I stop it?
Somehow my texting switched over to ABC and I can't get it back to T9. I've tried hitting the "ALT" and shift key but that just seems to switch it to all caps. Anyone know how to get it back to T9?
About half the time I perform an action on my BB 8810 there is a long (and sometimes very long) pause. It can be opening up email, using the "backup" key, or just about anything. Seriously, sometimes it pauses for over 60 seconds. I have tried to power down during one of these big pauses and have received a long hourglass, then a shutdown. When restarting, the email queue is cleared out but immediately sync'd back from the server. Is there any sort of "task manager" on this BB to understand what processes are busy off where? Would it even matter given the modal framework of the software? Or is there an OS upgrade I should be getting.
When the 8800 media player problem is going to be fixed? Currently the Media Player cannot support Bluetooth devices and only one (to my knowledge) wired stereo headset. I just installed a Xplayer software which allows me to use my wireless stereo headset (Cardo-2), but quality of sound is not very good.
The track ball just stopped working yesterday. It only scrolls down, but not up. The device had not been dropped, exposed to water, or mishandled in any way. The RIM tech suport number just loops around in circles and provides no option to reach a live person.
As luck would have it, the device was bought 12/06, and this problem just surfaced yesterday. Since these devices are uninsurable, I was told the only option was to reach RIM. Cingular said this was not a known problem for the Blackberry Pearl.
