        @Safoo,
        Mine is the same way. I get the red LED blinking and then like 1 or 2 seconds later it vibrates and rings, for everything: calls, messages, Facebook notifications, emails. Its perfectly normal :D

I really like my weather app: BeWeather free. It has a nice interface and has nice icons for your themes with weather slots. Those and UberTwitter, if you use Twitter, are really the only apps I can recommend since I've used them. Facebook, messengers and other default apps are what I use more, though. Except lately Facebook has been a pain in the a** :)

            Anonymous, 10 Mar 2010I have a bb curve 8520. I have tried sending music /pictues... moreGo to your media icon and click on the BB button to bring up the menu and you will see receive using bluetooth. click on it and then you can send from another device to your BB. But before all this make sure that both devices have been paired.
            Cheers

                  have you guys tried the Color ID app? i think it is one of the best BB apps

                  what other apps do you guys like?

I've always charged my batteries the same way and never had a problem. The first 3 or 4 charges should be like that, when it reaches low battery you charge it. But my battery is really worn in now. 4 months old :D
                      My phone never goes below 25%. And I use it a lot. I plugged my phone in this morning at 8:33am and at 10am it was at 100%. That is 1 hour and 27 minutes. Try charging it like that and see if it charges quicker.

When I use my phone alot: from... moreyes dude..that is my style..i ONLY charging my devices when they r almost depleted..like my iphone 3g,i use it until the battery turns red n shows 10%..then it takes about 2 hours for full charge(100%)..my old E63(now i gave it to my wife)also used until it become 1 bar..also took about 2hours..but my gemini has took 3-4 hours to reach 100% from 5%..thats y im asking whether it is normal or not..so,i think maybe u rite pal..but JRF,i dont remember where i get this info but i like to tell u..if u want to charge ur device make sure that the battery must reach the "low batt" level,coz if not it can ruins the battery life if u charge the battery regularly n not "at the time,supposed"..

When I use my phone alot: from 930am to 1130 pm I have about 30% or 2 1/2 bars left. I leave it in standy mode, wake up at 800 and plug it in... so it takes about 1 to 1 and a half hours to go from 30 to 100%. I remember reading that when a battery is almost full depleted (like yours at 5%) it takes longer to fully charge. I don't know or remember why, but I guess it is true, that's why when the battery is new they tell you to let it go out and fully charge over 8 hours, to keep it's strength. I never let my battery go below 2 bars.
