Smile Newbie saying hi and looking for some help :)

Please Login to Remove!

Hi.. I am a total technology geek, ESPECIALLY cell phones. However, for some reason in the last 30+ months I have had Sprint I have NEVER tried a Blackberry... until now!! I went through tons of other phones and finally tried the Blackberry Pearl 8130... OMG I am in LOVE. My friend is on T-Mobile and he has the 8100.

So far I have figured out how to do quite a lot from playing around and reading this site. Both on my phone and his phone.

I do need a little help, mostly with his T-mobile 8100.

1.) Ringers. I can't figure out how to send him ringers. I tried myxer.com which works for mine, but he never receives the text. (btw he is visiting and is in a BAD area for T-mobile and is usually showing on the ATT network). I tried sending as an attachment, but it doesn't give him a way to download. I am at a loss.

2.) E-mail. He doesn't have the icon for e-mail settings and under setup wizard it doesn't give him the option to add a new e-mail account. He has tried clicking show all on the app screen, still nothing. So he can't set up the "push" e-mail. Any thoughts?


I want to thank all of you for providing an awesome forum for a new Blackberry addict. I am constantly reading and learning and just in HEAVEN!!

Sounds like you guys need to update to the newest OS.

The last OS posted before the current one, carried the attachments update...allowing you to view/save e-mail attachments.

Check out the stickies in this section and choose the OS thread that matches your model of phone, follow the steps and enjoy the updates you get with your new OS!

EDIT: Oh...welcome to the forum! Stick around, and read as much as you can...then read some more. There's a ton to learn about when it comes to our phones.

Does he have a computer that he syncs his BB with? If he does why not email him the ringtone to his normal email and then he can upload it to his BB from his computer. I'm not real familiar with the Pearl so that is the extent of my adivse..lol.

Nice choice on a phone. My new 8130 has exceeded all my expectations so far, and I am just getting started with it.
