Hello all, new 8900 user...
I have just received a new phone and tried to restore an old backup from my previous blackberry pearl - everything seemed ok, phone said it needed to reboot - so i clicked yes and ever since, it does not reboot - just seems to get stuck with a clock spinning on the screen.
Any ideas...
RIM will keep improving the software, improve battery life, offer new apps and roll them into a new version of the software.
If you go the Blackberry site, go to downloads and device software, choose your carrier and model it will show you the latest official software version. Download it and it is installed via the desktop software on your PC. There's plenty of guides in the forums if you want a more detailed plan.
Welcome to crackberry.....you best bet is to do a battery pull leave it out for a few minutes then put it back in, if it still doesn't come up pull it for 20 minutes then try again.
As Clint mentioned, read through the 101 lectures. They are great! I have a link to them in my signature. You can also find them at anytime by clicking the "Newbies" link at the top of every page.
And to add, if you're using the desktop software that came with the Berry, you might want to remove it from your PC and go to blackberry.com and download desdktop manager 4.6. The 4.7 that comes with the 8900 doesn't always like playing nice. Aristile says use the versdion without media manager. Io never have used the one with so I don't know the difference. Welcome to CB!
