    Don, 16 Mar 2010Does edit documents? (doc, ppt, xls)?It only views files at first. Then you need to purchase the premium version for creating new ones or editing them. If you don't want to purchase it, then you can save a blank .doc on the phone and just press save as and that well allow you to create new docs.

      topz, 16 Mar 2010I Have BB Curve 8520 .... and why is it that when i put on ... moreUsually a reboot takes between 2 to 3 minutes, mine takes about 2 minutes. If yours is taking that long and doesn't boot-up at all, then you might have a corrupted file in the OS. You can either reinstall the OS or install a new one. If it's still under warranty then you should take it in for a replacement or something. For instructions on reinstalling the OS, go to crackberry.com and look for the forums called Blackberry 101 How To... there should be one on reinstalling and one for installing it to a bricked berry, just in case your PC doesn't read the device.

        have purchased this handset a few days ago, i say can for email and blackberry messenger its amazing, by far better than any other rival, nothing comes close to it.

        in terms of operating system, its not that great, alot of plan text sub menus and looks all to formal/corporate, not enough apps (even in blackberry app world) i've been using symbian nokias for 5 years and although it can have bugs, it can do alot more and has alot more apps.

        never the less, this is a great handset and very addictive, you just cant help checking it very 5 mins for emails and bb pin messages, just wish blackberry could make the os look better and do more and more apps.

                              navin, 15 Mar 2010Hi, I own BB 8520 and now require a small input from you... moreI think you can't set a time-up for auto-keylock. What you can do is, as someone said, hold the A button and this will lock the keyboard, or hold the Play/Mute button and this will set it to Standby Mode. Standby saves battery a little better than keypad lock. Another thing you can do is set one of the shortcut keys to lock it. That way you don't have to hold down the button to lock it, just press the shortcut key.
