I've had a BB for 3 years. Originally got it so I could get e-mail (essential to my business). Switched from Nextel to Verizon 6 months ago because Nextel service- and I'd been a Nextel guy for over 5 yrs.- was getting progressively worse once Sprint acquired them. With the change to Verizon, I got an 8703e.

I like it. Or, maybe I'm just used to it. It's an OK cellphone. I get e-mail. Along with some of my clients, I make extensive use of Blackberry Messaging. It's my alarm clock. Battery life is good. My calendar is an excel sheet which I keep on my laptop, but I also keep a copy on the BB.

It's a good tool. And, I keep it turned off on weekends so I don't have to deal with annoying clients.
Nobody said that I did. Everyone says that I would.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGH!!!!   >:(

I just got my 4G SanDisk MicroSD media card in the mail today and my 8310 won't format it. It is installed correctly and I have the Mass Storage Mode off. You geniuses have any guesses?

Also  ---------->  >:(

Try turning the mass storage mode on. That's how mine is set up and it works fine.

I assume you power-cycled the phone, just in case.

Media card support = on?

Connected it to your computer and checked for a firmware upgrade?

I'm shooting in the dark here, but good luck.  :-\

Pull the battery. I had to do that with mine for some applications. Worst case scenario, post problem at Crackberry.com

Sometimes I have to pull my battery and re-seat the SIM card.

I put the other card we bought for the wife's phone in and it worked with no problems. May just have a bad disk. Shrug.

All is working.  8) Thanks for your help.

also, to not become a crack-addict:
You can set the device to turn itself off and turn back on a certain times of the day/weekend.
For example, you can "force" the device to turn itself off at 8pm and back on a 7am...you can even use differnt times for the weekend.

I do this.

Also, if someone hasn't mentioned it, load OperaMini as a web browser; it works great.  Also, get whoever works on this board to create a mobile.html version; we have one at the Coastal Ducati Club, and it has upped my posting-to-breathing ratios tremendously.  I see some people are bagging on the Crackberry, but I love my Curve 8310.  There is no way to avoid getting addicted.  Oooh...if you get the wife one, you guys can use the two-way radio feature!!!

hey sac,  you need the newer version of the OS,  the default only supports up to 2G.  I have a pearl and held off getting the 4g chip until the corporate gods support that version
