    I have had my 8300 for a few months now and absolutely love it. Best device I have ever owned besides my Imac. Unfortunately my 8300 will not power on nor will it charge my battery. I even bought another battery from Crackberry.com and tried it, but still nothing. Any ideas would certainly be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help...

    if it doesnt power up with the charger plugged in then i would say that it is nuked. take it to your local retail store.

    What happens when you try to power it up? Also, with the new battery, make sure you first charge it with the AC charger.

    they took battery out and replaced with their test battery and it turned on fine. So I bought another battery from Crackberry.com and nothing happens. I do not understand.

    Put in the new battery. Plug the AC charge into the phone.

    Could be that your BB has lost its ability to charge. The batter you ordered was probably "dead" as well as your old battery, try another charger & or go to the retail store again and tell them your new info regarding your new battery.
