How can have the blackberry 9700 user interface on a different BLACKBERRY?

Q. I have the blackberry 8330 from boost mobile. I just don't like the UI on the 8330. So can any of you tech savvy people around here help me. So my question is can it be done and how.
Thanks.

A. There is no way you can have an exact replica of the Blackberry 9700 user interface on your Blackberry 8330.

What you can first do is upgrade the operating system on your 8330 and see if you are satisfied with the interface. If you would like to take an extra plunge into beta operating systems which tend to yield better performance and occasionally some extra goodies please feel free to do so at your own discretion but you may want to review your contract with Boost Mobile just in case. And if you would like to take an even deeper plunge go for hybrids that are created by putting different aspects of different operating systems build by 3rd party developers. Go to crackberry.com for more information on betas and hybrids along with other goodies for your blackberry.

Another option is to download a theme for your Blackberry from an app store or through an over-the-air download link.

How to get blackberry contacts off computer without a phone?

Q. I had my blackberry pearl stolen and replaced it with a iphone. How do i get my saved contacts off the pc onto the iphone? I don't have it saved in Outlook so that is not an option.

A. If you synced with Desktop manager try looking for the back up file (you did backup, right?) It is an .ipd file. There are tools on the Net to make it work with iPhone.

Good luck. - FYI, I would use Outlook in the future, or something similar like Open Office if you're Mac.

My BlackBerry won't connect to the internet, receive emails and BlackBerry Messenger does not work?

Q. I recently changed the sim card of my BlackBerry 8520 from an 02 sim to a giffgaff one. Since then, the phone has been unable to connect to the internet or use any data. The phone is also permanently stuck on 'gprs' mode and will not connect to a 3g network. I am also unable to log in to my BlackBerry ID. I would appreciate opinions on this matter, thank you!

A. Things to do (in my opinion):
1. Try to put the Oâ SIM card back in your BlackBerry device and check whether it's now able to connect to the internet and you are able to use all the BlackBerry service (BBM, Log in to BlackBerry ID, etc) like before » Please make sure that both your Oâ and GiffGaff are registered to the BlackBerry Internet Service.

If the problem persists...

2. Try to contact the GiffGaff provider's Customer Service and ask them for help.

If the problem stay still...

3. Try to check whether your BlackBerry device is locked by a provider or not. You can ask about this to the place where you bought your BlackBerry device.
(A locked-by-a-single-provider BlackBerry device usually sold as one in a bundling -BlackBerry handset with a SIM card already- and sometimes there's a provider brand logo stamped on the BlackBerry device)

If the problem still persist (again)...

4. Try to check whether your BlackBerry device got an error/bug(s) in its device software.
For this one, you need to check your BlackBerry device software version by typing: "myver" (without the quotation mark) anywhere on your BlackBerry device, then check on the internet, what's the latest version of the BlackBerry 8520 device software. If your device software is not up to date, you may need to upgrade your BlackBerry device software (newer device software usually contains a lot of bug and error fixes, etc).

Hope one of the solutions there help you solve the problem.

does my blackberry storm 9350 work in Philippines?

Q. I have a Blackberry storm 9350 which has a Verizon contract. I am planning to go to Philippines for a vacation. Can i use my Blackberry? If so, how much its going to cost me to have it work on?

A. No because verizon wirless's roaming service is CDMA (Which covers only North America and some other parts of the world). Meanwhile, T-Mobile is GSM Which will work internationally but your bill will go up lol. I suggest you just use a telephone/landline and use phone cards with it. OR you can buy a cheap prepaid T-Mobile phone, but your minutes' rates will be higher.

Oh and I am from the Philippines, have fun there if you end up going!

How do you fix Nokia E51 Keypad not working after dropping phone in water?

Q. Help! I dropped my Nokia E51 in water and now the keypad doesn't work. The on/off button still works and pple can ring/text me but I can't answer/text back

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks!

A. Normally water damage screws the phone completely. Try to turn the phone off and dry it out. This ideally should have been done before turning it on. I did the same to a nokia. It was already off and I was thrown in a swimming pool. I left it off and dried it for 2 days in the airing cupboard and luckily it worked. Then one day it rained and a few drips got inside while it was switched on and POOF! Broken.

How to connect my nokia x6 to wireless internet in my home?

Q. I have wireless internet on my laptop but when i want to connect my phone in my home to wlan it said ''no wlan network found''. I heard that first you must something set on computer. Two days ago I bought a phone so I don't know how to set wireless. Please help.

A. If you happen to see that message again, but the computer says there is a WLAN, then probably you covered the antenna of your X6 that is for wireless. It is located below the phone.

For extreme case, there must be something wrong on the WLAN configuration. Try to bring the phone to Nokia and let them check it.

If not, try to refresh the list of networks, Maybe it will do something better.
