    My grey bb curve 8330 just died out of the blue. No radio signal no service no anything it turns on thats just about it and it's only a month old. So Sprint it sending me a brand new one free of charge. thank god I still have my red one and had sprint turn on the service online or I would have been screwed .

    Holy crap that's scary! I, too, recently got a grey curve 8330 from Sprint at the beginning of the month! I wish you the best of luck and hope that I don't have a similar fate since my life is on this & I must admit that I am addicted to it.
    Did you download anything on the curve that may have led to its demise?

    No I didnt do anything to it didnt drop it or download anything or get it wet. I have small problems with it from day one. Like when I call a automated system my number keys wouldnt work but i didnt relize it till yestarday. They battery would die quickly, then it started restetting if self all the time,The screen was really dim at times and then last night it wouldnt connect to my airave so I couldnt even get voice calls. Then the radio shut off and it wouldnt turn back on. I coulnt even get it to connect to the DM. I have no idea what happened, But my red one is all hooked up and working so I have something till my new one comes

    Ick, that really sucks. I had something similar happen to my first Storm where the radio just spontaniously died after a little over a month. Verizon also replaced it for free.

    just a question, you said that the battery would run really low or something. did you try to charge it up a good amount of time before turning the connections back on, that happend to me this week and once i charged it for a lil while, i was able to get that radio back on! just a suggestion if it happens again.
