Now, I dont know if they are giving me a new pin and whatnot, but im waiting on DHL to send me another one on the 19th. Kind of hurt my feelings to find out that I'd be without it for a couple days. Then it dawned on me... ALL my stuff is gone. Including my 8gb memory card.. which has a LOT of dirt in it.
But beside that.. I had a hefty amount of friends on my bb messenger, how can I get them back?
Secondly, when Asurion (the company Verizon is sending them through I guess) sends my new phone, will it be ready to go, or do I have to sync all of my contacts and all again?
What measures should I take to make sure that my blackberry replacement is what I need it to be?
Thanks.08-18-08 12:29 AM - Man... the way i lost the phone was the worse. And it happened in a matter of minutes. Starting out, me and my father are in route to a car auction to get em a replacement car. So I hop out of the car so we could pick his fiance' up, and I get into the backseat. granted, the blackberry was in my lap the entire time. So if fell in between going from the front to backseat of the van.
So we're in route to the auction (10,15 minutes later), and something told me "look down, check your messages", but hands were empty. When i say I checked the WHOLE van, thatss exactly what i did. retraced my steps, the whole shebangabang. After failing to find it, I call Verizon... mistake from jump street. Granted, im pissed off, and customer service is acting dumb.
"speak or press 1 to do this
speak or press 2 to do this"
Like I was caught in the matrix. So after putting in a social security amount of numbers to get to an agent... The lady speaks ZERO anglish. (Thats how she would have said it verbatim). and Verizon has a habit of hanging up after acting like they cant hear you..(liars)
Had to repeat EVERYTHING twice, just for her to cancel service on the phone. THEN, had to talk and repeat the process with Ascurion.
-Had to go to Amazon, buy a WHOLE new 8gb memory card.
-Have to buy Jivetalk ALL over again (because i didnt get the one you could transfer to other devices).
-Themes...gone
-Personal things on SD card... gone.
HOPEFULLY (pray on this) that the camera I have is like it SHOULD be. Because my Original 8330 was taking some HORRIDLY dark images.08-18-08 02:39 AM - Oh man. Me and my mate (the blackberry) have gone through some hard times together. Seems like only yesterday when I was massaging her upper stomach (trackball), she refused to go up and down.
But im definetely going to have to email them.
Also, do I have to get a new email and whatnot? I have an idea of what im going to make my @vzw.blackberry.net name,
But I enjoyed my old one...08-18-08 09:44 AM - the way that the Filelock program works is that it adds a .lck extension to every file inside the folder your specify on the blackberry for it to lock. Like, if you start the program it asks you for your personal password first. Then after you enter that in properly, it shows you a file explorer window for you to choose the directories or files you want to lock. You can choose a whole folder like "Evidence" and such or pick individual files (they can be anything, pics, videos, documents, music, etc...) and lock them.
What I do is put all my sensitive data in one folder and then just lock the outside folder and everything inside that folder is given the lockdown.
You can use the built in encryption in your berry to protect the data even further. It will make your berry just a tad slower due to the conversion-on-the-fly but it's secure.
If you need a copy of the Filelock program let me know. I've been recommending it to everyone on here that carries sensitive data on their berries.
