Used 7130e Questions

Okay, I know this is all out there in the forums, but I don't know how to phrase what I'm looking for so if you know where this is, let a brotha know.

1. What version of the desktop softward should I get for the 7130e, or does it matter?

2. I got this off ebay and there's a password on it and stuff, I can get into everything, but don't I need to do a wipe or something? What exactly does that entail, I hear a lot about it, but not a lot about what it will do. I'm not even hooked up into Sprint yet so I'm not worried about losing contacts, themes, etc.

3. I don't have desktop software on my computer, but when I plug it, it installed the BB device driver, and it's there on the USB devices, but it doesn't come up under My Computer, I guess because it doesn't have removable memory technically? Is that correct? It does have the lightning bolt for charging and my computer will ding it you unplug/ plug it in.

If you can put me on the right track, I'd be grateful, I've already look at the stickys and stuff and I'm little confused and I don't want to reset it or something and lock myself out.

Thanks, crack-on!

Get DTM v4.3 if you run vista. Get DTM v 4.2sp2 if you run XP. As for the password just enter it in incorrectly ten times and it will wipe the device.

Hope this helps

That does help a lot, thanks.

Now, if I wipe it, does that take out all contacts, settings, previous email settings, programs, etc.? The phone was not wiped before I got it and there's some residual stuff that I think may be hampering my full use of the email and stuff.

Yep it will, but if for some reason there is still stuff on there download and reinstall hand held software. That should take anything thats left away.

I have a blackberry 7130e and I just downloaded some ringtones off this website. I also installed my blackberry desktop manager software. How do I transfer the ringtones to my phone.
