im starting to question it

last week it took a complete dump on me, now that same device the back button no longer works (that one below the scroll wheel). i still got my FRU that i just got, so i switched to that, and all that does is restart itself constantly.

im starting to hate blackberrys

ode to wasting my time reloading the SW on it.
not to mention when i changed my PIN...it wouldnt let me. gave me some error message saying it dont exist on this network...meanwhile its a VERIZON FREAKIN PHONE!!

A BlackBerry spontaneously rebooting is typically one of two things. A SIM card not locked into place completely, and a corrupt OS.

The SIM card is easy to check. If you don't have to pull the battery to check it, try that too. Otherwise reload the OS.

Any problem I've ever had with my 7290 can be attributed to adding 3rd party apps when I don't really know what I'm doing. Otherwise, it's golden.

Ditto to that. Most of the time that 3rd party is Texas Hold'em.
