I have a first generation Blackberry 8800 from Rogers. The unit has been working flawlessly until the last 2 weeks. Lately, I've been noticing that my connection to the EDGE/GPRS network has been dropping. I wireless reconcile manually and the arrows do not indicate communication between the network as usual, i cannot send/receive pins and messages, i cannot connect to anything which obviously requires a connection to my carrier.

When this happens, I simply remove the battery and this somehow kickstarts everything to return to normal. The funny thing is nothing indicates i've lost the connection until I start wondering why I cannot surf, send messages, reconcile. That's when it clues in to me. The signal bars show full and it states EDGE but just no connectivity.

I wiped the handheld and reloaded the handheld code already. After 1 day, it happened again! Anyone experiencing this with their 8800??
