Accessing Apps Beyond the Home Screen

[lhpfish]

This is my first post, and I appreciate any feedback or input you all might have.

The problem I am having a problem with my Verizon BB Curve 8530 is that i cannot access any applications beyond my home screen.

My Current view setting is Zen, and when the BB loads up it shows the Following Icons From Left to Right:

Email (Only have 1 Acct on the Phone)
Text
Address book
Calendar
Browser
Media

I have freedom to scroll all over the "home screen", i can change the volume settings, i can open up emails, place calls, surf the web, BUT These 5 icons are the only applications I can access on my phone. I cannot "scroll" into the rest of the apps on my blackberry - IE Everything else.

At this point I'm sure it a software issue, so i tried to downgrade my software which didn't work.

Just to give a little history on this phone, it is a secondary blackberry that my company used to use for On Call Representatives, the phone has seen light use and after we no longer needed On Call Reps I stored it in my desk as a backup in case I broke my newer curve (Not Sure of the Version). Well my newer curve started having issues due to it getting wet on Friday night, so I switched over to the 8530 and was able to pull my settings off the broken phone and use the 8530. The 8530 worked wonderful Monday/Tuesday but when i woke up this morning i started having the issue. It spent the night on my dresser so i'm not sure what happened and how I got here but NOTHING is working for me to resolve this issue.

I am currently going through Asurion for my other curve, but until then I need a phone!

Thank you in advance.

Did you try a battery pull?

Maybe sounds stupid but have you tried to do a
battery-pull? (Restarting the phone by pulling
the battery out and put it back in)

If that doesn't help, download Blackberry
Desktop Software to your PC or Mac and check
for an update.

Have tried all of the above. Updated software, downgraded software, upgraded again. No dice.

Stupid question, but have you pressed the Blackberry button? The button to the left of the trackpad/scrollpad? That opens the menu where the rest of the icons are located.
