New Blackberry 8800 how does it work?
Please Login to Remove!
Hi i was given a blackberry 8800 from a family member, idk yet if i want to switch from my razr cell phone to the BB, i just wanted to ask a couple of questions which would help me to decide.
1. Does the BB 8800 have a easy way to change from ring to vibrate to silent?
2. Does the BB 8800 have a easy way to get to the phone book to dial a number?
-Also how do you turn this thing on, i tried holding down the green button, and nothing happened, i even tried pushing the other buttons everywhere, i charged the thing over night, idk why its not turning on, there was nothing wrong with it before it was given to me.

Yes and Yes and I haven't used it in a while but I think if you hold down the top right button.

1. Acutally about a three key press process to go from vibrate to silent.
Use Shortcuts! Home Screen Shortcuts - BlackBerryFAQ.com
2. Yes, hit the green phone key and start typing your name.
3. Top left button is power. Why would you ever turn it off. |

My bad, wrong key.. I set my side key for profiles, so I guess for me it's quick.

unless your BB given to you was on a corporate BES, then you maybe stuck with a password.

What is the IT Policy Name?
That means you have an IT Policy, which is forcing the password.
Remove IT Policy - BlackBerryFAQ.com
Good luck. |
