Blackberry

Technology, ain't it wonderful??

This is my third Blackberry device (and the last, by the way) since I've had nothing but trouble with each one of them.

The first, was just inadequate, small keyboard, and verry s-l-o-o-o-w.

I upgraded to the model above at the first chance and it worked for almost 2 months until I tried to follow an email I got from the company saying there was an upgrade available to the software. I downloaded the program and installed it to the phone, then it TRIED to restart and just stopped about half-way there. No matter what I tried, it wouldn't start up. I called Verizon and they gave me the Blackberry 'holy grail', "Take out the battery and put it back in.", which is the answer to any problem you might encounter.

When this didn't work (either) I took it in and they smirked at the 'idiot with high technology' and took it in the back room to 'restart' it. About half an hour later, they guy comes back with a box containing a new phone saying he couldn't fix the first one and he 'just didn't understand it, they're usually soooo reliable'.

The third one worked for about 2 days until I tried to charge it. I got a message that the charger (packed with the phone) wasn't compatible with this phone. No problemo, I got a charger in the truck, I'll just use that one. Oops, no workie!

Call Verizon and got, "take out the battery and put it back in" - DUH, I shoulda' known!

That worked for the house charger, but if I try to use the truck charger, I have to "take out the battery and put it back in", then it works. This is necessary when using 'the other' charger.

Oh yeah, if you use any of the little programs on the phone, like the clock, email, calendar, etc., more than once, it locks up (too busy for the processor). Guess how you fix this????

Gotta' go now, it's about time to pry off that back cover again.....
