    It's most likely a memory issue:

    Why is my BlackBerry losing its call logs or message logs?
    From BlackBerryFAQ.com

    Having a large amount of images, ringtones and or games stored in the device may reduce available free memory. If the BlackBerry Pearl's memory is at or near capacity the handheld will begin to delete the oldest Call Log and Text Message (SMS) entries in an effort to free up memory space. In order to prevent this, free memory must be increased. NOTE: Saved messages will not be deleted.

    (Thanks to BobRoss @ BlackBerryForums.com for collecting this information)

    Determine the Amount of Free Memory on the BlackBerry

    * On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Status. That will show your amount of free memory.
    * If the amount of free memory available on the handheld is 0, the amount of free memory must be increased to prevent the handheld from auto deleting call log entries and messages.

    I'm having the same problem. It will delete my calls and messages. It will also not save either one at all sometimes. I will get a call and when I go to look who called it isn't there.

    It because your memory is about gone. Take a look at what Chaz posted above and that will help solve your problems.

    I looked at my memory and it says I have 3101624 bytes left. Is that low?

    The very minimum you want to be for everything to run smoothly is 10000000 (10mb). I recommend to be a least 15mb.
