    Transferring Data to your Curve without Losing Hotspot @Home Capability Issue
    The BlackBerry Curve may lose Hotspot @Home capability when you switch from your previous BlackBerry device to the BlackBerry Curve
    How does the problem occur?
    If you uses the BlackBerry Desktop Manager on your PC to �Backup� the data and settings from your previous BlackBerry device, and then �Restore� that data and settings to your new device, your Curve will lose its Hotspot @Home capability.
    What does that mean to me?
    If you lose Hotspot @Home capability you:
    # Cannot make voice calls over WiFi. All voice calls must go over the T-Mobile network.
    # Cannot make free calls over WiFi, even if you have the HotSpot @Home plan.
    # Cannot send text or picture messages or access t-zones over Wi-Fi.
    How do I prevent the problem?
    If you need to backup your old Blackberry device and restore to your new BlackBerry Curve, please follow these instructions to avoid removing your device�s Hotspot @Home capability:
    # Backup the old Blackberry device using Desktop Manager Backup Restore
    # Selectively Restore Data from the Backup:
    1. Connect the device to the computer.
    2. Open Desktop Manager, and double-click Backup and Restore.
    3. Click Advanced.
    4. Click File, Open and then select the Backup File you want..
    5. On the left side, use Shift-click to select all Desktop File Databases..
    6. On the left side, use Ctrl-click to de-select these two databases:
    # Handheld Key Store.
    # Trusted Key Store
    # Make sure those two Databases are NOT highlighted, and then click the rightward pointing arrow. This will copy these Databases onto the Handheld
    # Once Transfer is complete, close Backup and Restore, then exit Desktop Manager.
    # Data has now successfully transferred between your devices without jeopardizing your Hotspot @Home connection.
    If your BlackBerry Curve has lost its Hotspot @Home capability, please contact your T-Mobile representative for detailed instructions on how to restore this capability.
