Questions About The (Verizon) BlackBerry Pearl


Question Posted Wednesday March 19 2008, 4:03 am

I just got a band new BlackBerry Pearl with Verizon service.
I am having some trouble with a few simple things, so If anyone has a few minutes, and can offer any advice, that would be greatly appreciated.

First, How do I create a new text message? Is an SMS Text the same as a regular one?

Second, Shouldn't my Text inbox and my e-mail inbox be on the front screen? I am pretty sure it is that the e-mail is the only one, even though there ARE two. I am almost positive that one is t create new e-mails and the other is specifically for my Yahoo! Mail account.

Thirdly, How do I adjust the camera brightness? I cannot figure it out for the life of me.

Also, are there any applications to download ringtones and/or games? Something like "Get It Now", which what my non-PDA phones have offered.

And finally, How do I edit the Applications that show on the display screen to just what I want to show? Is that at all possible?

These all feel like really stupid questions and are probably very simple to figure out, but these features aren't coming with ease, like my phones in the past have. If you have any other advice is, related to the questions, or not, I would love to hear it!

Thanks to anyone and everyone who gives an answer!

*Awesome! You'll get used to it in mere days, I promise. Also, the email is set up apart. The phone gives you the option of inserting your own email, or creating a blackberry email, to chat with other users. To download stuff, all you do is go into the multimedia application, press the menu key, and then "download tunes", as well as games, themes or wallpaper. Some are free, some may charge. Anything else, about anything, just write to my inbox, and I'll be glad to help.*

Well, I have the same phone with tmobile, but its all the same. When I first got it, I was lost too. The button on the left of the scroll ball is your menu button in every application. When you're in the camera all you have to do is press it, and you'll find how to adjust it. An SMS message is a normal text, and an MMS is a picture message. You can put whatever you want in the screen, in the order you want it. All you have to do is press the menu key twice and press "move icon". You can also hide any icons you don't want visible in your menu. For waaay more help, press the menu button and then the question mark icon that reads "help". You'll find anything you need on there. If you have internet on your phone, you can go to discoverblackberry.com and press the "blackberry 101" button. Oh, and by the way, you can't record or watch videos on the phone, one of its major flaws, just to save you some time. Other than that, its pretty awesome. I'm typing from it right now! Glad to help <3.
