    Hi,

    I've upgraded to a Q10, but I want to keep my 8330 around and use it for email when connected to my home wi-fi. I see the instructions for doing this at Switch wireless networks manually - User Guide - BlackBerry Curve 8330 Smartphone - 5.0.

    The problem is that when I go Mobile Network Options, and then Network Selection Mode, I don't have a "Manual" option - only Automatic, Home, 1X Only and EVDO only.

    How do I get a "Manual" option?

    Thanks.

    Hello and welcome to CrackBerry.
    So you have a Q but you want to deliver your email on the 8330? Your Q will use your home wireless too. I don't remember as my 8330 was about 4 devices ago as to where you have to check....
    Would start in Options somewhere

    Thanks for replying.

    You're right that the Q would do fine, but I am sentimental and don't want to eliminate the 8330, if I can get use out of it.

    As far as your advice - I did try the Options, but the mobile network selection options are limited to Automatic, Home Only, 1X only and EVDO Only. Any thoughts on why Manual isn't a choice?

    Thank you.

    I'm almost positive that the Curve 83xx didn't have wi-fi. Sorry, but it would seem that you're out of luck as far as the Curve goes. Even if it did have wi-fi, I believe you still wouldn't be able to use it for email (outside of checking it on a browser), because of the legacy OS' reliance on BIS.

    Thanks, Dr_Evol500; I checked, and you're right.

    In addition, an 8330 being a legacy BB, it required an active BIS plan to use your email, as it was served via The BlackBerry servers.
