I have had my pearl for a few months now and I love it except for the fact that I will (every once in a while) stop receiving texts and my call history will erase itself. I've been told by Verizon that it's a glitch with BlackBerries and the only way around it (permanently) is to upload some sort of update, which will basically render my phone new--meaning I lose all my contacts, my personalizations, my ringtones...everything.
Does anyone know of a way around this? I try to keep my internet browser history cleared, as well as my texts and facebook updates...but it still happens. I have about 30 ringtones/alerts that I'd rather not lose/transfer to a MicroSD!
