About the brand

About BlackBerry

Research in Motion, RIM, is a Canadian-based wireless device company famous for the development of the BlackBerry smart phone line.

RIM was founded by Mike Lazaridis and is based in Waterloo, Ontario. Before the development of the BlackBerry, RIM worked with RAM Mobile Date and Ericsson, assisting in converting the Ericsson-developed Mobitex wireless data network into a two-way paging and wireless email network.

RIM has gone on to develop many different BlackBerry devices, which have become the smart phone of choice among business and government professionals. So loyal are BlackBerry users that the devices have come to be known as Crackberries, a back-door joke aimed at users who claim they cannot live without them.

Major competitors include Apple Inc., HTC, Palm, Motorola, Samsung and others.

If you have lost your contacts on your Blackberry, there is also a way to restore it as long as you have previously synchronized your phone with the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Here are the steps: 1. Connect your Blackberry to the computer on which you have the BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed. Launch the Desktop Manager software. 2. Select Backup and Restore, then click on Restore. 3. Locate the backup file with your contact data. This file will be in the default location unless you have previously changed it. For Windows XP this is C:Documents and Settings\My Documents and for Windows Vista and Windows 7 it is C:Users\Documents 4. Double-click on the file, which will have a “.ipd” file extension. 5. Synchronize your Blackberry device with the Desktop Manager, which will restore your contacts.

If you don't have access to a computer, you can access your account information from your BlackBerry with a Wi-Fi connection or data plan. Simply use your BlackBerry browser to follow the preceding steps. 1. Navigate your browser to My.Blackbery.com. Click Login near the upper left-hand side of the screen. 2. Click Forgot password? and enter the email address associated with your BlackBerry. Click Continue. 3. Check your email. There should be a message from MyBlackberry.com with a link to reset your password. Click the link, or copy and paste it into your browser. 4. Locate your user name and Token (a unique security setting on your BlackBerry) on this screen. Enter a new password in the appropriate boxes, and click Reset. 5. Click the Home link. (You may need to log in again with your new password.) From this site, you now can access and change your Blackberry account information and preferences.

Pictures can be moved from device memory on the phone to its external memory card by using file manager. Open the file manager app, on the bottom left corner select device. Then open the folder where the photos are located, choose the photos you want to move. Press and hold on a photo, a new menu should pop up. Press the check mark icon and select all the photo. Then click the first icon with an arrow on it. This is the move option. Then on the bottom left press the back button, browse to the sd card, once you find the folder you want to move the photos to hit the move icon and it should work. The same works for videos and audios but not for apps. Let us know if it works for you :)

I really don't see how to select MULTIPLE images in cases where there are hundreds of images and/or videos to allow for a move. Can you elaborate please?

That message means that the SIM card you have inserted to your BlackBerry has not yet been set up to your account or not yet activated. Contact your carrier and have your number activated. If you get the same error message after activating your number, then there must be something wrong with your SIM card. Visit your carrier and have them personally check the problem.

Hey Allan. This looks like a common issue with the BlackBerry 9320. Other users are experiencing this as well. Contact BlackBerry to let them know about your issue so they can release a software update soon. Good luck!

Using another phone, call your own number and see if your phone rings. If it does, then SIM card wasn't switched. If it doesn't, then you can say that it was switched. Call your provider and let them know that your SIM card has been lost. They will suspend the number until you retrieve it back or they may give you a new SIM with the same old number you have.

As for checking if your phone got switched with someone else's, just check the phone content such as messaging, contacts and photos.
