hey You :)

thats fairly simple ..
to turn on /off/ up / low .. the Ringer in this phone , simply click on the "Profiles" option .. under the profile which u are actively using , for eg if ur on "normal"
in brackets next to ur active profile it would show "Active"
scroll down click "Advanced"
.. go to "Phone"
.. under this u can Customize as well as choose Volumes.. of ur incoming Calls !!!
its fairly simple n easy ... however .. smart phones since they have so many features in them , takes time to get around ;)

i m a phone freek , in literal terms and i love this model of BB..
its small and packed in with features..
enjoy... your phone :)

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-07-01 00:45 from uExe - click to readVery good question to pose:

Initially, i was thinking the tour was a CDMA only phone. After doing some research, some websites indicate that the tour has U.S. CDMA & world GSM capabilities. Some sites are dubbing it the tour "world phone".

So, in a sense, the tour may show up after all in the BB line-up here on GSMarena, perhaps with a slightly different model number? i.e. the two storms that are listed on here (9500 vs. 9530).

If anyone else has valid info, please share!

I had a major problem with the battery - wasn't lasting more than 1 day. Since found out that when coming out of applicatis such as Facebook, Myspace, Google maps, Sat Nav, etc - they remain running in the background and use all the battery up very quickly.
When using the menu button, you get a command saying "switch application" - there should be 5 apps running, any more and the battery is being severely used up without you even knowing!
When closing them down, use your menu's and exit/close an application properly - this way the battery will last a good 3-4 days easily.
Hope this helps people.

For profiles, does the 8900 have timed profiles, like simple nokias?
Thanks

How the heck do you use the document editor? I clicked on download the editor, but it told me to pay money! Is this supposed to happen, and can I get it for free?

I've had my BB Curve now for a week, and I have to say I really love it. I've never owned a BB before and so a few things really impressed me, particularly the gmail integration, and gcal integration, and google maps. (I'm a fan of google applications so having the suite of these available really makes the functionality list complete). It's a bit dissapointing not having 3-G, but wireless makes up for it. So I'm a BB convert and look forward to many years of being a BB phone user.
