7290 security

July 26th, 2010

Hello,

the following happened to me last weekend: I own a BlackBerry 7290, it was switched on, lying around in my room. At about 2-3 a.m. I recieved some SMS messages from my carrier (O2, Germany) that I had downloaded 4 games, however, I didn’t notice as the device was set to silent and I was sleeping. Nobody did enter the room (it was locked), and I for sure didn’t download any game as I was sleeping at that time, never downloaded anything using the BB before and probably never will. So the next day I called my carriers hotline, and they told me that the games were downloaded over the internet, from my BB, and that the games were purposely selected, so no random "BB-gone-wild-thing".

What I know is that the BB was switched on that night and was showing that it is connected to the network (GPRS). BlueTooth was off.

Any idea what could have happened?

Thanks,

Rumpelchen

Should i SWITCH FRUITS?

July 18th, 2010

i curently hav a iphone, but… its slow and since android came in the mix , my app supply is comin in slower, and crapier,no new nice apps, so im bored with my iphone, it has many problems.
i had a bold 9000 wich was a JOKE, i cracked the screen,broke the trackball, broke the keyboard, just by having in my pocket while it rained or stuff like that…

my dilema is:
-is the blackberry 9700 tough? i HONESTLY dropped my iphone more than 100 times, no question about that. would the bold break on my 2nd drop?

-the browser, i know the browser on the 9000 was…..SLOW, but how about the 9700? has it improved? is it noticeably faster? or usable?, is it faster to use the OPER BROWSER? (i enjoy browsing on my iphone so… its big deal for me)

-BATTERY LIFE, does it hold 2 days of random calls/apps/browsing?

-RELIABILITY ,does it have a lot of problems? will it break if my hands are wet, or if dust gets in the keys?

-PERFORMENCE ,how much would u say the 9700 has improved in performence over the 9000, 100%,? more?
–and finnaly, are there any games for it? last time i had my 9000, there was 1… brick breaker. and to be honest, even black and white nokias had more games, so is the 9700 FUN?

im sorry for making this thread so long but i NEED TO KNOW all of these facts before i switch. please if you know the answers to my questions, help me out.

Blackberry Apps Question

July 18th, 2010

BBerryNews

HEY, i used to own a 9000, and i couldnt install apps on it. if i remember corectly it said something about not being able to install it in my country,that you had to be in the US or Canada. that was 2 years ago. is that limitation still on? cause i want a 9700, switching from the iphone, but if i cant install apps,,,, i’m not gonna switch.also, are there a lot of apps, like unit converters,games stuff like that?
also, one last question, is the browser livable? since im comin from a iphone 3g, the internet is pretty importnat to me, so let me know if its acceptable. i kno the 9000 was pretty horrible, but i hope the 9700 is much faster/better
thanks in advance

Hey Everyone,

I am new to Blackberry and have a Bold 2.

I am having problems sorting out app world.
I have gone onto the browser and downloaded it but cannot find it anywhere.
Its not in downloads, applications, media, messenging, games etc.
Ive looked in options, advanced options and it’s not there either.
I have done a battery pull and still nothing?
I managed to download Facebook for blackberry which works fine and is in applications.

Also I have tried to set up my email but I get an error message saying something like "could not connect you to server" even though my wifi is fine.

And I have tried to download the blackberry desktop manager from blackberry website and my pc says it doesn’t support the file??
Do I need to plug the phone in via usb first? I haven’t got my usb cable yet.

I want to cry!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
