    Help!!! I love the new Bold 9900 and have had it about 3 weeks on the vodafone network in the uk but today on my way home from work it turned itself off and i can't get it to start again. It gets to the BlackBerry screen and the white bar gets about halfway up and stops. I've pulled the battery and sim and left them for 10 mins but still the same. Vodafone are busy so can't get through to them so can any of you give me an idea of what to try next???? I hate my phone not working and had of wait til i got home to use my PB on my wireless to look for solutions!!!!!

    Yep tried that and it recognised my pin but wouldn't connect. Now BlackBerry seems totally dead as no lights will come on and I can't get it to do anything! Tried my service provider who think I've got a handset fault and the phone may need to be sent off for repair - i'll be giving it back if thats the case. Not best pleased that the phone has just died completely after 3 weeks. The battery life was being a bit of a pain but everything else I love, but I'm off on holiday next week and don't want to risk taking a phone that may die and not be able to be restarted!!!

    Yep pulled the battery about 10 times now and each time it has started up and then got to about 2/3 through loading up and the freezes. Tried attaching it to my laptop and upgrading the OS but that wouldn't work, now it's on charge and i a seeing if this does anything as it has gone completely dead and the red lights aren't even coming on!

    Hopefully you have 30 days. You didn't get it wet did you?

    No it was in my handbag so no where near water. I then used it to send a couple of texts and then when i looked at it again it had turned itself off and wouldn't restart. I've now put the SIM in my Bold 9700 and it's saying I don't have a data plan even though my contract does!! Arrrggghhhhh!!!! But yes I am within 30 days so hopefully I can get a new handset!

    These are likely different issues.

    Once I deleted an application, reboot and it hanged half way. I did a battery pull and it seemed to hang halfway but I just leave it there and it finally reboot all the way and back up.

    ya mines doing the same thing, the bootup freezes about 2/3 the way, right when it gets to the "e" on blackbErry. I did a battery pull and everything, one thing that worked for me was taking the sim card out, then it booted up, and after I put the sim back in it worked fine after that.

    Check to see if you just need a new battery or you have a third party application that did not work with your operating system.

    lol. sorry OP just cant help but laugh. another case of CRAPBERRY at its finest. ive had to reload my OS twice since aug 21(purchase date). once because my 9930 spontaneously decided to give me the JVM error and force me to reload and lose all my data, and once because the reload that i did was so ****ty that it wouldnt work correctly (shocking) and i had to do it again. sad really. sure wish id bought an iphone.

    So I am facing this exact same issue for My BlackBerry BOLD 9900. When I tried the tutorial on restarting my OS under "Nuked Berry" im facing a problem my phone keeps getting recognised and un recognised, so its hard to re-boot.

    Any suggestions? PLEASE? I have connected it immediately so its not that the battery needs to be in.

    Please someone any advice would be appreciated.

    Just reload the OS with os7.0.0 540, it should work. **** only os 540 works***

    good luck!
