    since i have been having so many problems im give this next 8320 a shot, but if i run into the same issue i am going to ask for an early upgrade as 3 phones in 2 months is insane/

    now being a tmo member, what would be a good upgrade, i was looking at what i think the curve 8900

    any ideas suggestions?

    What problems have you been having with the 3 8320 devices? Have you been transferring the same memory card into all 3 devices without doing a format on the card?

    Have you been doing a Device Switch or a full Restore from a backup file, with Desktop Manager to your replacement BBs?

    Either of these things could be the source of your problems.

    i never was able to use desk top till recently since i have a mac

    the memory card is not the issue because i took it out and the phone still does the same thing the one that is being replaces has a memory issue internally
    it was a refurb
    the very first one had a charging problem so they sent me a new one it worked fine for a while then it started freezing all the time getting stuck on the hour glass for no reason even when i dont use the phone then the sound stoped working when people would call or text nothing would happen
    so i got the one im on now which has some issue tmo couldnt even figure out how to fix so they sending me YET another one

    and i have no idea why this happens the only apps i use are
    facebook. and myspace which are not often at all
    ubbertwitter
    and capture it
    and i have only one theme installed and one extra ring tone i got from here

    i feel like if i have issues tmo should upgrade me and let me get the next up bb which i believe is there other curve the 8900 or w/e its called this is insane i keep having to loose everything in my phone i asked for help on here and no one was able to help with any of the issues

    so i am left to pull my battery at least 20 times a day to un freeze it

    Please check your file free memory (Options, Status) and post the exact number in bytes here.

    Also, what OS version is on your BB (Options, About, third line down)?

    Your file free is low. You should have at least 10 XXX XXX bytes or you WILL get the hourglass, lagging, and freezing you are experiencing.

    Do you have a lot of old emails, SMS text messages, and MMS on your BB? You need to delete the old stuff for sure.

    just one that i use all the time that is the only added thing i have
    but that shouldnt be enough to effect my phone greatly

    i dont get how people can have so many apps but i have 1 i use and i have so many issues with my phone

    im getting a new one if it happens with that im just going to ask tmo to upgrade me to the other curve the 8900 i think it is called
