I actually had to get a free app called BuzzMe just to know when Im phone is ringing. Rather than make it vibe 2 times and then ring it makes it ring and vibe at the same time. Great little app you may wanna try if youre having issues with the phone vibe when receiving a call.

There have been a number of complaints from 83xx people... I believe it is much better using OS 4.6.1.206, but you might consider that if it's a big issue.

Its always been weak, one of the major complaints of the 8900 unfortuantely. Even with .206, I can't feel a vibe in my skirt...tehe.

Just put your phone in a pocket close to your heart, then you can feel it.

Have to have phone on vibrate with no sound most of time, so buzz me does not fit the bill. even if its in my pocket dont even feel it.

Have you considered upgrading to OS .206???

Try with BerryBuzz trial or buy version, for virbates it stay on forever till you press the buttons and open messages, it will stop. I don't like limit 3 times virabte with stock but with Berrybuzz stay buzzz buzzz buzz... .... .... .... .... .... ..... .... battery drains if stay virabte too long.

You can have an application better than the vibrate. Try to search.

.231 just became the most recent officially released OS today... here is a link: http://forums.crackberry.com/f100/ne...stasia-228798/, so if you are going to upgrade your OS you might just as well use that... read the instructions on the first post... in step 4 I prefer using the Loader.exe... just remember to back up your personal data using DM first, then backing up your apps (here is a thread to help you back up your apps: How-back-up-3rd-party-applications).

.206 doesn't improve the vibration level at all. It's a problem in the 8900. As a matter of fact the newer the BlackBerry model less powerfull the vibration
