Did a whole bunch of errors come up when restarting? Try doing another battery pull.

Did anyone have problems syncing your blackberry with the computer after the upgrade?

I'm not sure if the OS upgrade is the cause; however, when I sync with the comp, the desktop manager would suddenly disappear with no error messages. I've tried searching online for solutions, but no one seem to have similar symptoms.

I am not impressed with Rogers. I just had all my monthly credits removed. Now I have to waste an hour of my life getting them back.

It retains all your installed apps. However, if you have any custom settings in it, you'll have to enter them all again. For example, my Google Mail makes me log back in again and BB 411 makes me enter in my addresses again.

You can if you want. DM does it for me before I do a firmware update.

weird question here but what is the default trackball colour?
is it supposed to be black or white? mine is black and when it lights up, it's white...
because im begining to think i may have a refurbished bold instead of a brand new one when i got it =S
i had the bold since november and the trackball is not even smooth anymore..it jams once in awhile...kinda getting annoying...
im still under warranty but they told me that i will get a refurbished bold...=S

i get a "App Error 523" after a few battery pulls... Happened twice already! I always have to reload everything back onto my Bold again. Luckily I have everything backed up. But it's annoying! Not sure which app is causing it... I don't remember loading anything new onto it.

its supposed to be white when you first get it, the 8900 curves came with a black trackball.
