I am on my 4th BB 8330. I just replaced my 3rd one 3 hours ago. I came home and transferred my info to my new one and its doing the same thing. It chirps in my ear during a conversation. it has happened anywhere between 3 seconds to 20 minutes for the first chirp. It is not the minute counter or a new message or call waiting. It sounds like an electronic chirp and is loud. Help!

This happens to me all the time. Ever since I upgraded to OS v.4.5.0.175. It never happened in versions .138 or .77. What OS version do you have?
No. The 8330 does not do simultaneous voice and data. Penguin already stated this above.
This is an issue with certain OS versions for the 8330.

This is an issue with certain OS versions for the 8330.
I talked to a friend who is also on Verizon, with an 8330, he was told by a tech at Verizon to downgrade his software to this version: 4.5.0.138, he sent me the Verizon link: BlackBerry® Software Updates
He told me he didn't want to downgrade but it took his problem away and hasn't seen any problems in downgrading.
My 8330 has done this since day one. I've tried the .138 and the .175 OSs and neither of them have fixed the problem. This is also quite widespread and well known so I'm surprised no one in this forum has heard of it before. Try Googling "Curve 8330 chirp". My post count won't allow me to post a a link.
Does anyone know if upgrading to 4.5.0.186 solves the chirping issue? I actually really like the performance boost provided by .175 so I'm reluctant to go backwards to .138.
Failing that, does anyone know a simple way to create a .175/.138 hybrid with the phone app from the latter? I've downloaded and installed hybrid OSes before, be never put one together.

I'm trying out .186 and will report back on the chirp issue.

In light use I have't gotten the chirp on .186. It's still too early to pronounce it cured though. I'll post back after I've used it some more.
i have an 8330 and during a phone call I get a chirp when i have an incoming text...
My chirping is completely unrelated to any incoming anything. After a chirp filled call I won't have any new texts, emails or missed calls. Just a ringing ear... .186 seems better, but I haven't used the phone enough to tell yet.
My BB chirps in my ear!
Thanks button.!!
