    @ Vanessa
    If you have bought a unlocked phone you need to set it up to mms and sms. Call the place you bought it from or go on there web sit and look for the settings for your carrier

      thanks for the reply but when i press the mute button at the top, it stops for one ring and then rings again.. is this normal or is there something wrong with my phone? could there be another way of stopping the ringing?

          hi to everyone,
          peter-On top of the phone there a mute button-press that for your solution.
          Bluetooth probs guys-whether you want to recive or send file just go to the place where you want to store or send file from,press menu,send file via bluetooth------Vrooooom!!it goes...
          Belive me this fone Rocks.
          #those who have itunes in their comp/lappys--directly download the folder containing the songs and album foto....it copies and plays the same way as the itunes does.
          Any other queries mail me at interferon18@yahoo.com
          Cheers!!!

            Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off the ringer or vibe when you receive a call without hanging up the phone? if i press the trackball or any other button besides the red hang up button, the sound goes off only once and starts ringing again.. every other phone has an option to turn it off without hanging uo how do i do it with the pearl?

                data connection refused means you dont have the blackberry service on you acount,contact your service provider to add the service

                    you will NOT be able to access the internet,your network provider home page or to send MMS messages without first registering your phone with Blackberry and also contacting your network to make your tariff useable for blackberry services.

                    i have just gone through this process with
                    O2 UK as this is my 1st blackberry and it was really straight forward

                      to the person who called me a genius, to turn the key tone off totally:
                      -main menu
                      -options
                      -screen/keyboard
                      -key tone - set to off.

                      dont know answers to the other questions
                      sorry

                            just about to buy this phone and need confirmation that its worth while doing so. sounds like a great phone all in all. last phone i had wouldn't let me set my own songs as txt message ringers or alarm ringers. does the blackberry allow this ?

                                Hi. I noticed someone mentioned you cant make the phone vibrate & ring at the same time. Is there a script or app that allows u to do so? or is there a way you can create a ringer on your computer and add vibration to it and upload to the bb. would it work?
                                thanks

                                    Put the Cover of the coming "Komet" over a Sony-Ericsson and its the perfect Phone - including GPS of course.

                                    Thx.

                                        well... i have had this phone for a week now and i have to say i love it !
                                        i tried the sony P990 for a week but it was just so big and clumsy with its stylus that i had to send it back.

                                        to anyone who has purchased a blackberry pearl, upon first use,my initial reaction was to send it straight back as the menus all looked so complicated but believe me, if you read the instruction book and take a few days to get to know your phone you will be rewarded with a great , easy to use device.

                                        having read lots of the comments on this phone, a regular item that keeps appearing is that it wont recieve bluetooth files sent from another phone. the correct way to do this isnt immediately obvious.
                                        eg to transfer a photo from another phone, go to the 'media' option on the blackberrys menu, go to 'pictures',press the blacberry button to show the options and then select 'recieve using bluetooth'.

                                        then send the photograph from the other phone and the blackberry will recieve the file.
                                        do likewise for other files you want to send.

                                        brilliant phone !
