Hey all, please be gentle as I am still pretty much a blackberry noob!

Basically my blackberry wont load up properly at the moment, I sometimes have to give it a hard reset if it freezes or something, but I have been trying for the past hour to get back to normal and it just wont load up.

I get to the whole red light / white screen when I insert the battery, sometimes a message will popup saying "memory card inserted" or a rather random javascript message, but it doesn't seem to want to progress from there, I haven't updated the firmware lately so it is possibly a software problem? I have tried turning it on without the memory card as well, but it'll just pop up and hang on a "Memory card removed" message.

I have the 8900 on 02 (uk) and it is insured hew: but other than that I don't know what more I can do to aid you?

Please help me! obviosuly if I cant get it working soon as, I will send it to the insurance people to deal with.

Cheers in Advance!

Just to add, this has happened to me once before (earlier this week, it eventually started working)

Theme I am using - Xmen (from here)
Apps - Viigo, Msn, Facebook, twitterberry, standard web browser

You're using a custom theme, switch it to a default theme before booting it up.

There are too many issues with custom themes.

Not worth the hassle.

usually that happens when you are using a custom theme... try changing to the default theme then reboot.

I can't get on to change the theme though, it hangs on a white screen before it gets to the actual desktop

If i can't get to the desktop on the phone, is it possible to do it from the desktop manager on my pc? or do i need to be able to use the phone to get that working?

This was discussed a million times in the last week alone. Please look at posts beyond page 1 for the method to fix this. Sometimes you have to be patient and find answers by reading, Googling etc. Hint: click the Red End call button for a few seconds when u see carrier logo.
