If I wanted to feel safer about not violating copyright, I would try this Wikipedia-related site: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. Also, you can find very cool pix and flix for very low prices on sites like http://www.fotolia.com. Thanks, Kelly smareeannuary,

It's entirely possible to have a battery that is fully charged but is unable to discharge deeply, so it kinda goes dead after a short time. Can you borrow someone else's battery for a minute to see if the problem goes away? Kelly Carissa,

You have to manage your phone's memory...meaning, you have to keep it freed up. If you don't, the phone will automatically free up memory by deleting "old" messages, call logs, etc. Please read this article and it should help a lot: http://blackberry8130.wordpress.com/2008/03/01/text-messages-email-call-logs-disappearing-insufficient-application-space-keep-getting-a-tumbling-hourglass/. Come back and ask more questions if you still have trouble. Kelly Latoya,

Several times a day, all of my call log deletes. I called my mobilr carrier, U.S. Cellular, and they keep telling me to do a hard reset by taking the battery out and then put it right back in. I find myself doing theis all the time. If someone calls me from a new number, I can;t return the call because it has been deleted. I have a memory card for my phone since the 1st day that i bought it. They say this is a safety feature of the phone. It automatically frees up space. Please help me make it stop.....

I do hear from readers that one can actually get through to RIM customer support by phone, so that might be worth trying. I'm sure they have some kind of phone number on the RIM web site. If you find a good way(s) to get through to RIM, it would be great if you'd come back and share that with us. Kelly hendrik,

I demanded a new phone since the original phone that i purchased was a new phone. They then informed me that they could not guarantee the replacement phone would be new and as evidenced by the phones that i received they didnt work properly. Last question, do you know the address for RIM customer support or repair? I would love to send them the phone back to repair since its less then a week old and then roll over it with my truck. My 8120 should be here in a few days. It's just too bad that I am phoneless until then. Right now my screen is all white and I can hear my emails and voice messages coming in.... Well maybe I should keep the 8100 after they repair it and use it as a backup if I have the same horrible luck with the 8120.. Thanks for your help! Thanks Kelly,

One thing I learned from a Verizon Wireless rep was that when customers exchanged phones, they were given refurbished phones that had already been returned by some other customer because of a problem. The rep told me to advise people to always demand a NEW not refurbished phone as a replacement. So, that might explain your streak of bad luck with TMobile (if their business practices are similar). I'm guessing that phone repair is generally so expensive it's not feasible. That's why I think the so-called "refurbished" phones don't really get repaired. They probably just clean them up a bit, replace the battery maybe, and if it powers up and works for 15 seconds, they declare it "good." That's just my opinion; I have no direct evidence of that. So, I'd be kind of my little brother and NOT give him a phone even if it was said to be repaired. Hope your fortune takes a turn for the better. Stay in touch. Kelly hendrik,
