I have a new sprint curve 8330.

Today, from the main screen, I typed in "Travis" hoping to see my bud's name so I can call him. His name/number did NOT show up. I go to the address book, I cannot find his entry. I go back to the last SMS/text he sent me and it clearly shows his name and when I hit the BB button, the "Show contact" option exists - when I select it, I see his contact info (which is saved in the address book). So, WTH ???

I battery pulled and everything then seemed to work fine.

Anyone seen this weird behavior before?

Welcome to the wacky world that is Blackberry. Lol.

Kudos to you about knowing about the almighty battery pull.

Yeh, the one before this is my wife's new curve did not ring for a few hours this past Saturday morning and I was steaming b/c she did not answer my calls and I was running LATE for appts and needed to pickup and drop off things with her first ... a reset fixed that Now, how reliable is a phone that does NOT ring?



BTW, better than a battery pull, try the Ctrl+RightShift+Del

it depends on your definition of reliable. i rely on the fact that im gonna have to do battery pulls . all smart phones are like that.. ive heard winmo phones are worse..

Well I gave up on WinMo after over 3 yrs of fun and wifey gave up her Treo 755P - Treo resets by itself (likely b/c of pgms I installed) and winmo is just windows, full of memory leaks which forced manual resets.

I thought BB's are tanks, like ppl reportly going 6 months withOUT resets.

oh jeez, i wish! dont get me wrong, i think berries are extremely reliable, but keeping any device on continuously is gonna create problems. imagine keeping your computer on 24/7 and all of the issues you'd have associated with that.

[winger_WN]

Is there an application that allows scheduled reboots of the BB? Like every night at 1am ? That should keep things sane with our BB's

[SofaKingKev]
