    Ok, I've had my blackberry curve 8330 for about 4-6 weeks and i love it!

    But all of a sudden today, the hourglass keeps popping up every 3 seconds...over and over again....i tried taking the battery out and that didn't help and I turned it off and on and that didn't work either.

    Anybody know what's the deal? The rest seems to work ok...but that's driving me insane!!!! PLEASE help!

    I would recommend you sit for a day without facebook and see if that helps, I bet the problem was facebook. What is your file free? Options > Status

    I use memoryup and that helps. One thing I learned is not to just hit the back button to close apps. Hit the menu key, choose close and get out that way. I may be crazy but that helped me out with speed and memory leaks.

    Ok, Im having hourglass issues.

    I went to use my blackberry this morning, and the screen is just white with the hourglass, it stays like this for about 5 seconds, then the screen goes off, and the red light comes on for 1 sec, then it comes on again with the hourglass and white screen, and it stays in this loop forever.

    I've tried taking the battery out and then putting it back in, but it still doesnt work !

    Any tips?

    I had this issue and customer service had no clue what I was talking about and replaced the phone. I now have had my new one for two months and no issues.

    I have since heard facebook was the issue so perhaps I had the new version of facebook on the new phone.

    As everyone said remove it and put the new version back on is the best idea. If that doesnt work get it replaced.
