    Anyone know how to unfreeze a BlackBerry Curve? I've only had this stupid thing about a month. Worked fine up until a couple days ago. Now it's totally hung up with an hourglass and keeps trying to do a setup, but it won't even complete it.

    I'm sure you've already tried this, but have you popped out the battery? Sometimes a hard reset will unstick them.

    My wife's Curve started doing this 2 weeks after she got it. After she removed the battery for hard resets and still had the problem she took it to AT&T. They found that her SIM card was loose causing the problem. Secured the SIM card and no problems since. BTW the SIM card is located under the battery.

    ahhh, this might have been the problem. I'll have to check that. Basically I went to bed last night with it still doing the hour glass thing after resetting it, etc. This morning I woke up and it worked fine except it still will not e-mail pictures. I still can't get it to e-mail a pic even now. However, I can send a regular e-mail and can send a picture to facebook, so no clue why I can't just e-mail a pic.

    Same problem my wife had with the SIM card not completely locked in. Intermittent application problems.

    I think that may have been the problem. I believe I got the sim card locked in right now. Thanks for the info.

    first try sending a picture to your self... sometimes phones have to be set up that way. secondly, it sounds like there may be some sort of software issue with the phone... I would recommend backing up your files, contacts, calendar and tasks with microsoft outlook and then downloading the software update from your cell phone carriers website then uploading it to the phone. Call the tech support department with your carrier if you need help getting a walkthrough, but they will tell you the same thing.

    Also, anyone who thinks the iPhone is better phone has clearly CLEARLY been duped.

    iPhone = gimmic + hype + lies

    It's been doing the same intermittment crap. I plan to take it in to be looked at when I get some time. This phone is only maybe a month or two old. It really peeves me when it freezes up and I can't even use it to make a phone call.
