New Cellphone

[Genny]

Hi, here are some of the questions I've got for ya You may not be able to answer them since you have a different phone..the guy said they were about the same but I'm not sure. The first thing is that when ever I try to download myspace, rhapsody or AOL IM it won't let me...it will go ahead and make we wait for it to load and then a sign will pop up saying there is unsufficient space on the phone...I don't know what that means..I don't know how to make more space available either
And also how to I get new ringtones?? What should I go to?? And is it normal for it to take a few seconds longer to load sometimes?? Cause at times it loads just like that and then sometimes it takes a few...
I think I had some more questions but I can't think of them haha so maybe they'll come to me later....thanks Moesha!!

And how long should the battery life last after you have fully charged it??? thanks!!!!!!

Battery life depends on how much and what kind of applications you are using. If you use the internet or GPS, it will go down faster. I have to charge my phone at least every other day. Sometimes every day. Also, I have noticed that it didn't hold the charge nearly as long when I fully charged it in the car or by connecting it to the computer. I've only done both of those things once though. So it might have been a fluke. The man at Verizon told me to charge it in the car only as a last resort. I haven't been able to find anywhere else that someone has said that though. He didn't really tell me why either. But if I am using GPS to go very far, I would have to have it charging in the car, since that does drain the battery more rapidly.

I moved sound files from my computer to the Blackberry, using the Roxio software, to use as ringtones. www.crackberry.com has a section with free ringtones. In fact, that is a very good site to use as a resource. They have forums and a store and many other helpful areas. Check it out.

Do you have a micro SD card for your Storm? That can help with the memory issue. I don't know how much you have on your phone, but it seems strange that it wouldn't hold enough for just myspace or the other things you mentioned. Perhaps the additional SD card would help with that.

As for the freezing up or taking longer to load, the only thing I know about that, is that my friend who had the Storm said that it didn't have as much memory as the Tour and that many people complained about those things with the Storm. I was in the car with her one day when it froze as she was trying to make a phone call. She couldn't get it to hang up. For more specific help with those issues, check out the forums at Crackberry.com. You may find more helpful ideas there. Since I haven't used the Storm myself, I'm not sure what else to tell you about that.

Hope you are enjoying it so far.

what is a micro SD card??

[Moesha]

Your phone has a slot for more memory. Have you seen a digital camera or an Mp3 player that has a slot for a memory card? Many of them will take an SD card. The Storm takes what is called a micro SD card. It is like a removable storage device.

HHmmm..I don't think I got one of those. I'm gonna call Verizon tomorrow and talk to them about my phone. I really like it besides not being able to download anything like that on it yet. I was kinda afraid that I wouldn't like the touch-screen cause I text a lot and I didn't know how that would be, but it really does get easier. I'm not as fast on it as I was my old phone but hopefully I'll get better at it lol
Tonight I've been trying to figure out how to get a picture that I've made on my phone to be my screensaver/front screen picture whatever you call it but can't seem to get it figured out yet!

When you are viewing the picture, click on the "blackberry" key. That's the one with the white dots. Do you have an option to set picture as the home screen or something like that?
