Help with New Curve (Basic Questions)

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Luffbug04

I just bought a Curve with Tmobile and I love it. Few questions maybe u guys could help me with.

Is there anyway to re-arrange the order in which your menu is listed in? It puts my blackberry emails and my regular messages on the front screen, but my texts i have to go into the menu screen itself for. Is there anyway to re-arrage them and pick what you want to be listed first?

Now with tmobile, i signed up for 1000 text messages, does anyone know if that includes picture messages too?

i bought the $19.99 a month BB plan, i set up my blackberry.net email....if i load my aol email in there as well, is that free of charge or will i get charged for that?

Is there anyway to change the background picture or is it only the few themes they give?

well im sure being a newbie to the phone ill have a ton more questions. as i said, its a lot easier to get it thru u guys than searching thru the book. please anyone post an answer to any of these questions if you can help. thank you

Yes, it includes picture messages.

When in the main menu, hit the blackberry button and move the icons around - the first 5 show up on the main screen.

You can load any of your email accounts with no charge.

You can change the background to any picture, just highlight it and hit the menu (blackberry) button and go "Set as home screen image"

thanks for the answers. i was able to do all of those things i am finding though that it wont sign onto AIM. it just keeps saying its signing on but nothing ever happens. I am going to purchase JiveTalk in a few days, but for now I wanted to at least see how the AIM feature looked on this phone. Any ideas as to why it wont let me sign on?

I had some issues. I was able to resend the service books and register on the network again and everything worked fine.

To send the service books sign onto T-Mobile and go to the blackberry email part. Click service books and send them.

To register on the network. Options>Advanced>Host Routing Table. Find the bold one, highlight it and then hit the menu button. GO to register now. Then try the AIM.

Another newbie here:
Is there any way to change the icons to plain text? I could do this w. other phones and rearrange the order. There are so many icons, it will take a long time to learn what each one is.

Thanks.
