The Staff is made up of very well respected members in the Blackberry community and we're always improving. Look for more things to come as far as a new site design and sponsors.
I heard about this last night and this morning on the news. I am surprised my mother and I were fine for it being as wide spread as it was. We didn't have any issues at all. We are in Arizona so maybe it didn't reach us?
I also heard about this on the news this morning. I am in North Carolina and I wasn't affected.
this may not be the place to ask but... im with Sprint, yeah i know i know, anyway, when im in my bb messenger and want to add a contact, does anyone know why it takes so long for the person im requesting to get my request? is there something i can do or is it just how it is?
