Beside the phone being extremely sluggish, I had problems with error messages on the 5.0 software. My WiFi, MP3 Player, and Internet Browser all stopped working at once. 5.0 does not fix call quality on this phone either (if you have bad call quality). Instead of getting another replacement this time, I just re-installed the Blackberry 4.6 Operating System myself. Phone works as it should now. Even better than the very first phone I had with 4.6 on it.
Little piece of advice for everyone. When/if you get a replacement phone now, watch out for the new 5.0 software they are shipping this phone out with now. It is not compatible with the phone. It runs very slow. I went through 4 phones with the 5.0 on it. Nothing but problems. As far behind todays technology as the 4.6 software is, it works a LOT better than the 5.0 does. At least for this phone.
please help me!!!! Well i really want this phone but i keep seeing everyone's comments saying it sucks,but i wanna know how is it if you use it with boost because i have boost. So i wanna know before i buy it & a week later i f ****** hate it.
Yep just make a good review on a shitty phone that sucks now I have this phone and it fucking sucks worse phone I have ever used the internet is slow as shit it drops calls it gets glitchy and is slow for no reason at times and worse of all it don't even work properly like if I'm trying to recive texts it won't download the information at all that I'm trying to get so yea thanks for lying to everyone on getting this horriable ass phone it SUCKSS!!!
hi guys , i just got my 8350i and i just wanted to know if any of you know about this kind of ""easter egg"" that a 8350i of my friend has , he can turn off other phones with his blackberry by just messing with their contact information and then sending them an alert to that contact , after doing this their phones just shut down ..!!!?!! ....... if anybody can tell me how to do this besides him, all help will be greatly appreciated , thank you , please reply!
@reganandbren I own several cell phone stores. My advice is try him on boost non contract $50. No tax. He can use bb 8350i. But iden service is the last choice. Try to have him test other phones out at boost or any non contract carriers. I hope this will help. If you need additional advice email me
I am in mexico and my blackberrynextel is from the us so when i want to use the phone it will cost more, so i just use nextel which i dont have problems besides in my city eveyone has nextel my family and other people that i dont know but when i am in the us i can use cellphone with regular money per minute and nextel it is the same nextel in all north america is great its signal
@Tiangisbarato Also by blackberry messenger it works and the browser is cool , i can watch videos on youtube and download an app for facebook, also the camera is great i can handle it great music you can also put in so you can enjoy , when i flew to europe nextel and the cellphone service didn't function but the blackberry messenger works where theres wifi , and i know this because out of my 5 family members (including me) have this nextel except for my mom.
@Tiangisbarato r u sure youtube works smooth without skipping?
and wht about the coverage in US? is it good? i have a good plan with nextel from 5 years old free incoming for only 39.99. i dont wanna let it go but the phones suck. wanna get this bberry and get data plan as well so plz let me know of this phone more. thnx.
this phone wont open the browser like it says it will! $500 phone and it sucks i reported my stolden 3 times and now i have 3 i left sprint $135 a month for boost mobil unlimited $50 a month fuck sprint fucken lying ass thiefs
i have this phone and it suck ass! the enternet browser wont play no youtube videos! the internet takes more than 2 minutes to open a page and to open another one good luck! the phone was $500 not worth it! i reported my phone stolden 3 times and now i have it connected to boosmobile for $50 a month fuck sprint $135 a month! thums down
@renzobmxer No. The 8350i runs on the iDEN network, not Sprint's CDMA network, so there's no 3G. You'll be getting EDGE (1X) speeds on the 8350i at best. The only 3G capable iDEN phone I'm aware of is the Motorola ic902 (one of the rare PowerSource phones), and that's because it uses both CDMA and iDEN radios, using Sprint for 3G and iDEN for Push to Talk.
can someone tell me how i can change my led lighting???? i want minds set to the flashing blue me n my friend both have the 8350i and his flashes blue but minds only flash red i want to change my led lighting to blue.
Hi, my son is 14. And he wants a new phone like fast. Plus, 14 year old boy need to get a hold of him, correct? Do you recommend this Blackberry, because he keeps saying he wants this one, and it just looks confusing, and I don't need him asking for a new one a week later, Ugh, help.
@ReaganandBren I wouldn't get him this phone. you should look at the rumor 2 or rumor by sprint instead. or scp 2700 by sprint. the scp is cheap, only 20 dollars and very good and looks just like a blackberry but for kids. I have it and i love it. :)
Hi, i need your help i cant text on the phone, i can be able to use the wi-fi and other features but cant text message. it doesnt have the option in the phone, What can i do???
@brendalee14 you use 'compose mms' on these phones for txting. if you are using boost you need the boost combine3 file loaded on to the phone w BB manager. if you cant text after that you have an IT policy that has to be removed.
well i have the everything data plan family sharing plan (with my dad) but they just changed the prices because of getting the pixi i guess because my plan is only 100 a month for both of us but i just looked at the plans and its like 70 a month for individual everything and data (450 minutes) and im about to trade my phone in for this one (cant stand the pre lol)
lol no prob and yeah if you moean morethan you would have like a month ago but regardless of what phone you get thats the minimum data plan and the only other ones are everything unlimited (99) or nextel connect (i dont fully understand that one but that only 30)
If your gonna try and make this phone into boost i dont highly recommend it the service isnt good you receive the texts like 4 hours later i rather pay 100 dollars for the unlimited text/web usage on verizon then boost mobile try it and you will regret it i know i have.
I live in Mexico. I don't know if the same applies in the US, but when you use the browser or BB messenger calls and alerts don't go through... It might just be that the mexican branch of nextel needs to invest more in infrastructure so that users have a channel for data and a channel for voice... Do you get calls when you are using the browser??
its for Nextel. Yes they are the same company but Nextel and Sprint use different towers. Sprint uses CDMA towers and Nextel and Boost use iDEN towers
You need to have the blackberry plan so they live up to the phone. The basic is about 30 dollars per mo. and includes web and messaging. Whether it is limited or unlimited, I'm not sure
you should man because im going to get my 8350i next two weeks for my birthday =) the reason im getting nextel because my whole family got nextel in peru so i can unlimited direct connect international for only $10 more dollars a months i love this phone it looks nice
Yes, you can. You will not get a discount if your contract is not up though. I got 50 bucks off for adding another year though. If you go from sprint to nextel, you keep your same phone number and you get the direct connect number as well.
I have the samsung instinct n its a great phone but i miss tactile buttons n i kinf of want this! so should i stick wit me instinct or go to this n how much does this cost??
