With BB in pocket. No, no one was drunk (this was at 1pm) just a bit too excited. The thing is that I didn't even see it coming. I was near the pool telling my friends that I'll be back in a while as I was going home to pick up my dog (my friends and I were staying at a villa for the wknd) when I just felt a push...by the time I realize what the heck was happening I was already submerge under water. Of course I didn't think about my phone right off until someone says, good thing you didn't have your phone with you (I had on one of the villa's robe on), I let out a shriek took the phone out of the robe's pocket and climb out of that pool with lightning speed. I took the battery out, dried it with a towel, dried the inside (the sim, mem card wasn't wet but the screen had water inside) I was laughing, screaming, shrieking, saying "oh no, oh no." My friends in the pool didn't know whether they should have been laughing or running. One of them even said, she's taking it really nicely knowing how much she loves that thing.
Yes, I was taking it nicely...not sure exactly why...I guess perhaps because I knew the f*cker who threw me in the pool was going to be buying a new phone the next day. I told him he was off the hook if my phone survives but he shouldn't be holding his breath...lol.

Needless to say I got my BB back. A few contacts less as the last time I backed up my BB was a week ago but thanks to the DM I have all my configurations, emails, etc back. It's like I have BB #1. (For those of you who who dont see me in your BBM it's not cus I deleted you but obviously cus I have a new BB ). This phone is the bomb.

After all of this happening, I thought it would have been so handy to have a backup software in the mem card (like I did in my Treo 650). It use to back all the info on the card every night...always up to date.

great ! glad to hear

[Jared DiPane]

that sucks to hear, but i am glad that you got yourself a new functional berry, and i completely agree with the backup software. verizon has one for normal handsets called backup assistant and it backed up everything for me every night.

[tinkerberry]

Oh no! that's my worst nightmare

[Erikgreenlee]

Ya I'd yell and scream a little

[jimmers]

[jimmers]

Gee...you would have thought I said a bad word!!! All I said is j e r k!

What kind of insurance do you have? AT&T doesn't insure Curves.

[JoJo78]

Lol...I get that all the time Jimmers and the funny thing is that I thought you said d*ck...:ahahahhahahaha
Anyway, yes, he did. Well I went and bought the phone this morning because I wasn't about to spend the day without my BB. I then called my carrier's manager and gave her my pin and imei so that she can activate my BB services. About an hour or two after that he called for us to go and get the phone to the store. I told him there was no need as I already went and bought it all he had to do was reimburse me which he did. I'll change my pin in my details when I get a hold of a comp.

I felt bad he had to buy the phone and was tempted to tell him not to worry about it or that I'll put half and he puts the other but his gf told me not to...she said, that'll teach him for the next time he wants to throw ppl in the pool. Hahahahahahaha

Murder in this case would be justifiable homicide so go for it!

When I had my Treo, I used "Back up Buddy", which actually backed up the Treo Wirelessly to their server automatically with every change, so if ever you lost your data, and were away from your computer,while traveling per se, you can restore the new Treo over the air with all of your data current. I have BIS with AT&T. Does anyone know of anything like that for the BB?

[JoJo78]

Paul - Yes, I got the browser to work once I went into my blackberry account (the one that you create via the provider's site) it first told me that I had another pin (old pin) associated with my account and whether I wanted to change to the new pin. I click on yes and voila! all my emails, servicebooks, etc was reinstated. I was a bit worried about having to create another blackberry email. I was so glad I didn't have to.
Once the new BB was reinstated to my account I was able to switch the browser from wifi only to internet. I love this phone!

Cheflionfoot - I also had (actually have b/c my Treo is still there) backupbuddy. I was looking for something similar for my BB. While the DM did a very good job, I wished I had this option on the card. On the same token had the card gotten wet I am not sure if it would have gotten damaged in which case then it would have been of no help.

[JoJo78]

Umm, I can't get facebook back in my BB and Jivetalk! I had them send the registration key to my blackberry email which of course is in the other phone! Should I contact them?

[Fabmaclover]

ouchhhhhhhhh!
