Although my BlackBerry Torch is still dead, I did manage to reinstall my OS but it died after a day.  No idea why my BB kept on slipping to its near demise, but needless to say, the a tutorial that I found here was very helpful.

After days of reviving a bricked BlackBerry, I am on the verge of tossing this expensive smartphone in the bin… what’s stopping me then?  Well, if this bricked phone works again, I can pass this to my daughter and BBM with her instead of SMS.  That would be ideal.  Needless to say, my damn BB has just become an expensive paperweight.

Several days ago, my BlackBerry became so slow after I have installed a new theme.  It became so slow that even several resets failed to fix whatever the problem was that I was forced to perform a full security wipe.  I initially tried a partial security wipe which involves deleting only the applications while retaining my contacts and email as well as my files saved in my media card.

If for some reason your BlackBerry is lagging too slow or loads too slow after you have installed several applications, and deletion of that application did not fix the problem, I usually would just go and reset my BlackBerry to factory default.  This is not really hard and RIM makes it easier for you to reset and reinstall your desired applications easily.  To do a reset, simply go to Options> Security> Security Wipe.  You will be asked to type blackberry to confirm.  No sweat.

Since I did a major factory reset on my work PC, I lost my Tweetdeck and Seesmic.  I have been switching back and forth between these two fantastic Twitter desktop applications for Windows.  Since I tweet mainly using my Blackberry, I only use my desktop Twitter application when my mobile is dead and charging, but I truly steer clear from Twitter desktop applications because I find it obtrusive. 

Eversince I got the BlackBerry Torch from my employer, I have been busy learning how to work around RIM’s technology. So far, one of the best feature of the BlackBerry is its push email whether you have gmail, or yahoo or your corporate email– setting up is a breeze.  Since the BlackBerry Torch is the bearer of RIM’s latest OS 6.0,

I have been admiring the smartphones by Research in Motion (RIM). Research In Motion (RIM) is the company behind the innovative and award-winning BlackBerry product line. The BlackBerry family includes best-in-class smartphones and software offerings, as well as the all new BlackBerry PlayBook, the world’s first professional tablet.
