boostberry

seems that everyone is having at least one problem with their blackberry 8350i. mine is that i have the boost service books loaded onto the phone and i can't get the browser to work properly and i cant call out. i get incoming calls, i just cant call anyone. its a nextel phone and it says i am connected to the nextel towers. i'm not sure if it has been unlocked or not all i know is that i spent 4 hours trying to put the service books on and i finally got them on. i can send texts and the direct connect works fine. i also tried downloading the "appworld" thing and it said i was unable to do this. is this cause its not available on the boost network either way?

you need to do a wipe of the handheld and then follow the sticky at top of forum "how-to" from Amy. Follow it step-by-step.

i found out what it was, thanks for the comment though. i just had to shut off the "smart dialing" option. and the area code that was programmed wasn't right.

the smart dialing should not be enabled at start. this got me when i 1st got my 8350i and i see it constantly.

The smart dialing country code is default to +1, in the tutorial it states to change it to UNKNOWN. This is a commonly skipped step.
It is Step #2.......
<<2) I had to turn off Smart Dialing (+1) dialing to be able to place calls from my phone book.

a) Click on the Green phone icon key

b) Click on the Blackberry menu key; Options; Smart Dialing

c) Change the country code to “unknown”>>

Manu>Advanced Options>Browser>press the space bar, if it doesn't change then you need redo the steps to install the combined3 zip files.
