First time user of a bb and in the forum
just a couple questions for a couple of you that are more experienced. i'm with verizon and just made an upgrade from a treo to the curve 8330. so far i like it and see that i will end up happier with it instead of the treo but theres a couple things im just not clear on. please forgive me if they're stupid questions:
1.) as far as the profiles go......quiet,vibrate,loud,normal and off are self explanatory but whats the difference if i choose phone only? is it just another option customizable to my liking or do i lose access somewhere like internet access or something cuz it says phone ONLY
2.) as far as SMS goes, it only gives me the option for 160 characters. i was able to go to 500 before with other phones. is there a way to extend this with the curve or should i send things as an MMS? would the person im texting on the other end recieve the word text as if it would be a pic msg or something like that?
3.) lastly is there a way to organize the texts better. the one thing i did like about the treo is that it displayed the texts like an instant messenger conversation.
thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with
