I just did the upgrade for the 4.5 os from 4.3 and now I don't have the option for roam only. I need this because when I am home, my phone swithes between no bars to no signal frequently which results in a lot of dropped calls. Is this not available? If not does anyone know where I can get the original 4.3 for Sprint/Nextel. I did a search and I looked on sprint. If someone could help me out with this I will really appreciate it.

No takers? Oh well guess I'll have to give up the crack...

You can go to BlackBerry for the latest official OS.

Na! Don't do that! Sometimes a little patience goes a long way. I know it can be agrivating when somethings not working the way you want it to. You'll almost always find what you're looking for here.

Well when I first went to get a new phone, I looked at the Curve, the instinct, and the Q. The instinct on display crashed TWICE while I was playing with it and then completely froze up and it doesn't have roam only as well so it was out. Honestly, I picked the curve because it was prettiest Rubbing the trackball had my fingers hurting so I figured since the upgrade isn't working out for me I may as well try the Q, but I'm really starting to like the Curve, minus the trackball. If I could just get rid of that this phone would be perfect.

By knowing some of the shortcuts, you don't have to rely so much on the trackball.

Also, you can adjust the sensitivity on the trackball. Options>Screen/Keyboard, then scroll down to Trackball and change the sensitivity. I set mine to 80 and 80.

You've been so much help. I already tried the sensitivity, but I have really sensitive hands and the trackball is grainy when I'm using it. But I am learning a lot on this site so hopefully it won't be much of a bother.

The trackball is way better then the old scroll wheels.

There are sooo many stories I could rell you about sprint but in all fairness, for the last month, I have been coming across very well trained and helpful reps (in the cancellation department) They even gave me this phone at a deep discount. I would love to go to AT&T but in my area, alltel has the best service, and sprint has the best plan. And since alltel is going to Verizon and I do not like them I am staying with Sprint until I move in about 1 1/2 years.
