Blackberry Bold 9780 Question.

[waynegohl]

I want to delete the previous owners settings/details etc from this phone and put our own info on it. Which is the easiest way or only way to do it, must I reset it to factory settings/default and if so what will be lost of our information?

Thank you
Baie Dankie.

Do a security wipe, you can choose to keep the applications or to format the whole phone.

[waynegohl]

Thanks Crowley will have a look at that.

The BB 8520 says under the DATA section that it has no "speed", what does that mean?

My daughter just got a secondhand BB 8520 but we did not get the usb cable. I asked on Gumtree and someone wants to charge me R130 or so for the cable, what should I be paying if I have to buy one? Are there similar cables we can try?

Waaaaayne !

Don't waste your money.... I have a USB thingy lying around here that fits onto a normal USB cable and into the Blackberry. It is lying here unused... you are welcome to have it mineer.





I need to get your charger and tips and books and things to you anyway...

kilo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not all BB's take the same fitting we have come to find out, that's the freakin' problem. The Bold does not work on the Curve.

Yoops.. my bad... I thought they all used the micro-usb.

I have PLENTY of cables here... let me see if I can find one that will fit the bladdy phone.

[waynegohl]

Ok please, check for a BB 8520 Curve, I am doing the same this side.

Hey Hey

I have just tried this adapter on Lorraine's BB Curve 9300... and it works.

And if I check on a BB accessory site for a cable, it says;

NEW BLACKBERRY MICRO USB DATA CABLE CURVE 8520 8530 8900 9300 9350 9360 9370 3G

The 9300 replaced the 8520... I am sure it will work with J's phone too.

The 9780 (I think thats the number) does not work on the 8520 that much we know.

Why the backup boet, you have me worried now?
