[Bizzare]

Does anyone know how to block specific numbers from calling your BB?
Is there an app for that? One that you all have successfully used?

**ding ding ding**
You sir, are obviously not a BB user.

People I have a bb 9780.....its about 3 months old, id say for approx the 1st month i was able to view videos off youtube WITHOUT having to be on wifi.......now i get the error message that the media cannot be played or sumthin similar.......my service is with DIGICEL so i called them, they are telling me that RIM has blocked the streaming of YOUTUBE and as a reult i wont get through.......people is there ANY validity to this statement or is this just a DIGICEL problem???

[S_2NR]

if it works on wifi, digicel is lying to you.

[tr1ad]

[Adrian howell]

I know it works on wifi....it used to work WITHOUT having to be on wifi once you had an unlimited plan.......now it has stopped

[S_2NR]

Best Buy now has a sale on the Blackberry playbook.

If you're in the market for a BlackBerry PlayBook, head on over to Best Buy and have a look at the sale they are currently running. As pointed out in the forums, from now until Monday you can buy a 16GB PlayBook for $449 and a 32GB or 64GB for $549. We have also heard rumor in the forum of Staples sending out emails through internal sales reps offering the PlayBook at 50% off for 2 days only (Sept. 7th and 8th). This means 16GB for $249, 32GB for $299, and 64GB for $349. If you have a Staples business account, you may want to contact your representative and see if this offer is available for you as well.

So now the speculation begins. Why the deep discounts on the PlayBook? Are retailers trying to clear out stock of the wifi version to make room for that elusive 4G model? Is it prep work for the PlayBook 2.0 relaunch? Is a sale ever really just a sale? Sound off in the comments, and let us know if you find any other great deals on the PlayBook.

Most likely the Playbook 2.0 will be announced soon.

So I've had the 9810 for a lil while now, os7 isn't that much different from os6. The major differences are the ones that count, which is the hardware, the phone have never lagged since I got it and it's actually loading sites almost as fast as it does on my iPhone 4 (still not up to par though) but it's a really great increase as opposed to my 9800. I was thinking of selling my 9800 but I decided to keep it as a backup, if history repeats itself I'll lose this new bb in the next couple of months

[casper]

q. If I have a BB plan paid for but I want to switch phones do I have to cancel the plan and get a new one?

[Stephon.]

What is a plan paid?
What phone are you switching to? If it's another post paid phone that's not a bb (android or iPhone) then you could change to change to either the android or iPhone plan. Depends on the phone, if it's none of the above then you can just cancel the bb services. If you're switching to another bb then you don't need to do anything.

lol sry for the typo,


I had an 8900 and I have to change it but I have a month or so on my bbm plan. Im buying a new curve and Im not changing my # or anything with digicel, basically just swapping sims. I was wondering if Id have to cancel my BBM plan and restart a new one or what happens.

just put in the sim card and u good.

[kurpal_v2]

My bbm contacts come over also or no?

[brams112]

unlocked fone,,,,

[S_2NR]

My bbm contacts come over also or no?

no.
bbm contacts are on the phone not the sim.

no.
bbm contacts are on the phone not the sim.

^ This, unless you back up your bbm data with Desktop Manager, then import it onto your new phone. You can also go into bbm right on your phone and back up bbm on your memory card, but Desktop Manager seems like the easiest modo
