Well folks
after 4 and a half years of HTC phones, I've bought myself a blackberry curve 8900

More because Orange gave me an offer I couldn't refuse so I'm hoping to get used to this phone fast! I might miss the touchscreen but apart from that, it seems to do everything i need it to do

I have a few questions if that's okay

1. How long should the initial charge be? There's no mention of how long you should leave it in the wall for? it's been in for 6 hours now though.

2. Is there a skype application anywhere?

3. Have i made the right descision?


hehe

Cheers and looking forward to getting to know my new friends at Crackberry!

Remove your BB from the charger and remove the battery (while the BB is on). Put the battery back in after 30 seconds and let the BB completely reboot. Connect it back to the charger and wait a few minutes. You should see a fully charged battery.

2. Is there a skype application anywhere? Although I don't use it, I believe I've seen it around. Do a search on that particular app.

3. Have i made the right descision? That's a personal opinon. IMO, you've purchased the Cadilac of BB's!

Yes, it should be. (2 hours should do it on a AC charger)

great stuff!
I remember the days when you had to charge a phone for 12 hours lol
