    Does the phone have to be unlocked to connect to the DeskTop Manager? If it doesn't then, back it up and let it delete, then reload. If it has to be unlocked in order to connect... well, I hope he is a real good friend...

    Thanks for the postings. those are all great suggestions the only problem is that i didnt back the phone up and my place of work does not support blackberry and yes it does have to be unlocked to conect to the desktop manager... the data entry by my co-worker sounds like the only solution.. F*@k!

    Unlocking has nothing to do with connecting to DM and nothing to do with phone working with VZW. Once the 10 tries are used the sim is locked permanently. You will not be able to get unlocked.
    All other functions of phone will work.

    does pulling the battery reset the password count? giving you 10 more tries to get it right (or guess the password on the phone youre trying to hack into)??

    hey, either scenario is plausible.

    No, once you use the 10 tries to unlock phone the sim is permanently locked. Not even a puk code will unlock it.

    I think he is talking about his password, not the unlock code to make the phone work on other carriers.

    After 10 everything will delete, hope you have it backed up!!

    Are you sure only the SIM gets locked, that's not what Help says. Plus, the SIM isn't used here in the U.S. right.

    I bet all data will be deleted, at least I hope otherwise I'm running a password for no reason.

    Once the phone is unlocked it will work with any sim card US or overseas. That how people on ATT and t mobile can use a Storm.

    Trust me I had a phone early on that I used all the tries and VZW cannot unlock it. The phone does work, unlocking does nothing to the cdma side of phone
    Unlocking phone and password are two different things

    the worst/only thing that will happen is everything will get deleted and you will just have to reload all your info.

    the sim has nothing to do with him forgetting the password.

    Understood but I think he's referring to unlocking access to the phone via password use judging by the attempt limit.
