    Well I did it, I bought my first blackberry. I am now the proud owner of a curve I just got home and I still can't do anything that requires data usage. I wonder if it is due to waiting for my number to transfer from the previous company. Any idea?

    Welcome to the addiction. Port should have nothing to do with data. Try this options>advanced options Host routing table> menu>register now.

    If this does not work, call your carrier and make sure they added a data plan to your account

    Thanks. I'll try that.

    I had to leave before we had everything set up because hubby had to get to class and his car is in the shop. I plan to go to go back tomorrow if I don't figure it all out tonight.

    Welcome to CB. Be careful. Some say the site is more of an addiction than the actual BB.

    The good news - taking the battery and sim card out and putting them back in fixed my lack of data service. The bad news - I think I'm already getting addicted, lol!

    Welcome to Blackberryism !
    Good luck getting it up and running, im sure once you do you will have loads more questions.

    Check out the latest OS thread and get that installed before you get really started, then check out the must have apps thread and get some gadgets on there

    Maybe you need to get your wife a BB and then she won't hate you as much because she will be too busy being addicted to it as well.

    Here we support and expand your addiction, it is an airborne affliction spread by casual contact, and there is no cure. Why would you want one.

    Welcome to the CrackBerry forums, and enjoy your new BB!

    I'm a newcomer as well. Came from the WM camp and liking the transfer.

    My wife was so pissed after I got it 'til she learned it's a good babysitter at the eye doctors office. Now I sit quietly in the corner with the other kids and their animal crackers. ;-)

    Congrats & Welcome, as previously posted definitely hit up the OS update, then check out those "must have" apps, it definitely helped me out when I first got on here! I'm loving my Curve more & more ever day, just started into themes now, put a new one on last night, think I've added to my addiction, if that's even possible!
