Hi...
Im not going to hijack anyone's thread and so making a new thread with my questions. I just got a new Blackberry 9530 this week and this is FIRST EXPERIENCE with Blackberry OS, so I should be posting some vague idiotic questions as well. So, please bear with me.
Ok here are few questions:
1. Storm has 2 modes, LANDSCAPE and PORTRAIT. But that PORTRAIT hardly works always, even if you hold the phone sideways. Is there any magical part on the phone, which we can touch to make it sense and happen ?
2. I have inserted a 4GB SD card , but I dont know, where to go and see, whats the memory status . Where can we check that ?
3. Storm comes with a lot of apps and lets say, we are not closing apps many times and just click MENU and go back, then that means, the Apps are still running on the background. Where can we check that, what apps are still open and how can we choose and close all from there ?
4. Which place do we go to edit the Active profile settings, message tones, etc etc ?
5. Do Storm have themes compatibility ? Can we get any free themes from anywhere to test, how it works ?
6. How do we install apps into the Storm ? From Desktop manager ?
02-23-10 01:07 PM - 1. You click application loader, and select the .jad's.
ANSWER : Dont think, thats possible. I already tried. It only allows ALX or ALI.
2. You have to open Media, hit the BB Menu, and select "RECEIVE USING BLUETOOTH".
ANSWER : Ok just tried and it worked, but I dont know, where did it save my tones, which I received. Even it dint show up in the TONES list of MEDIA.
3. Yes, BerryBuzz and some other third party apps enable this, as well as upgrading your OS to 5.0. Otherwise, no you can't.
ANSWER : Ok, are you sure, if I upgrade to 5.0 , then it will have that feature inbuilt ?
4. I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but as the whole phone is SurePress, you just click where you want to go.
ANSWER : Yeah, it has got a bad sensitivity, I just realised. Anyways.
5. Under applications there should be a Files application. Due to the possibility this might be an OS 5.0 thing, also try Media > Pictures or Music > BB Menu > Explore folder. That will open up access to the Media Card.
ANSWER : It worked . Thanks.
6. If you have Outlook, Exchange, Mail, Address Book, or some kind of third party application on your computer that can back it up in a different format, try one of those. the .VCF file will not work with a BlackBerry, to the best of my knowledge.
ANSWER : AH, thats too bad.
And those contacts are names and phone numbers . So, I need someway to transfer all of my contacts from my Nokia phone to this Storm. 
02-24-10 04:39 AM - 1. JAD files are used for OTA downloads. You must access these files from your BlackBerry Browser. Desktop Manager will allow installation of ALX files only, which in turn are descriptions of the software you are going to install (the actual software is stored in COD files, sometimes in multiple CODs). Alternatively to the OTA (Over The Air) approach, you can use this software to be able to install your themes via Desktop Manager: Blackberry OTA downloader | download free OTA themes to your desktop
ANSWER : Thanks. Worked.
2. Before sending a file from another device to your BlackBerry, you must first go to the Media application on your BlackBerry, press the BlackBerry button and choose Receive Using Bluetooth. Once you have done this a popup window will appear waiting for a Bluetooth connection. Now you can send the file from the other device to your BlackBerry.
ANSWER : Thanks. Worked.
3. It is possible, but requires OS 5.0.
ANSWER : Thanks. Will try.
4. Touch (and press) the screen at the position you want to move the cursor to.
ANSWER : ok.
5. Go to the Media application, press the BlackBerry button and choose Explore. You will see Device Memory and Media Card, choose Media Card. From there you can access your documents folder.
ANSWER : Thanks. Worked.
6. Use the Desktop Manager to invoke the Switch Devices wizard. It will help you get your contacts transferred form your Nokia to your BlackBerry.
ANSWER : Umm, not sure, how we can do that. Ok,let me try once. Thanks again.

Ok here is it,
Lets say, im typing a SMS,
" I became so numb, I can feel you there"
Now, after typing this, I want to goto the first word's cursor,
I
But there is no way to do that.
I have to tap the screen, but it always selects the 2nd or 3rd word.
How can we exactly move it to needed position ??02-25-10 08:20 AM - yeah, I know.
Mostly my SMSes are one liners.
And yes, can we do it this way :
Blackberry has that signature for their emails. So, can we edit it by going to that settings and copy that R from from there and paste it here in our Auto text panel ??
Possible ??
How do you COPY PASTE in Storm ?
