Nice! It was time for an update!

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

consider it an "interim" update.  trying out a new video camera and really not impressed with the slow speed of the auto focus on it.  and it's a bit long... and there should be some new phones on the market soon! so will do up a better update in a few months.  thx though!

Hey Kevin, can we expect updates to all the 101s? That would be nice, some of them are kinda outdated...

 
 
Posted by Adam Zeis Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

Definitely on our "to-do" list. Been trying to get some done over time but hopefully we can crank out the rest at a good rate.

Do u really own all of those berrys?

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

and many, many, many more. these are just the ones with microsd card slots (got a few 8700s kicking around) and multiples of some devices. i like blackberrys.... a LOT :)

You need to take a picture of all of them together. And count them all. :)

Thanks for the video. It wasn't too long considering what you covered. It was most helpful. Keep up the good work.

This post is very informative. This a good credit for all berry phones not a bad credit.

for the bold 9000, i find it easier to remove the sd card if u remove the battery cover first. still a pain to do but easier than with the cover there

Thanks, Adam. No matter how seemingly simple the BB topic, I always pick up a little something from it.

 
 
Posted by bluegreen1965 Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

I meant Kevin! Sorry.

Thanks. Cool seeing the inner workings of BBs that I will never own or use. Only have a 8310 and 9700.

Great job!

someone was bored, thanks though

 
 
Posted by SumthinNew Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

LOL
Kev, that was a disaster :)
As seen in your sub title, you almost lost it there between SIM and SD card!
You got them all at the end anyways, good job.

Thanks for the video

 
 
Posted by UnicyclistRobe Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

Funny thing is that I have Verizon and don't use a SIM card.

 
 
Posted by six4seven Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

Are you people serious? This is a joke right?

 
 
Posted by Michelle Haag Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

Do you know how many people buy a BlackBerry for the first time every day? It's awesome that the CB guys remember that not everyone has owned one (or more) BBs for years, or has 1000 posts on the forums.
You may not have found this video to be of use, but (judging by the comments) I'm sure many other people did, or will in the future.

Great job Kevin! The 101 Series is a very valuable asset. I refer people to it all the time. Glad to see you guys are updating them. :)

 
 
Posted by stoneworrior Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

......it's a sim card and sd card right? It slides in, it slides out. The only issue is location depending on model. I think that is all he was saying phishgirl.

 
 
Posted by aris20 Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

Still..... Many Newbs out there :P

 
 
Posted by andriakaye Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

look at all those pretty Berrys!!! :)

and for people dogging on the video, he's actually helping some people who either are new to BlackBerrys or not that technologically savvy...soo, get over it.

easiest way i find for the storm is to open the back, and in one motion tilt the back thru 170 degrees, so it picks out the battery with the `prongs` that go into the top of the phone, then use those same `prongs` topull the sim card out, kinda not so good explainin it, but it works really well, i work in a phone shop and its by far the fastest way

 
 
Posted by willm Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

Dude that's a great idea for how to flip the battery and Sim! I'm gonna do a battery pull right now just to try it!

 
 
Posted by d0nkz Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

I hate to correct you Kevin, but you said the 8830 didnt take a simcard.

It actually does. TELUS and Bell and Verizon both Marketed the device to be a world phone like the tour and the storm.

Sorry for correcting you but i did notice that in the video.

Otherwise great video and i enjoyed watching it greatly

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

lol. yeah, yeah, i know... i called it a world edition in the video didn't i? same as a tour and storm.  it just doesn't neeeed a sim card, but does take one. all good.  one take - didn't feel like redoing anything.  wicked that you watched that for into the video though! :)

 
 
Posted by dariuscuh Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

Oh cool i never know how to take my SIM card out of my Storm2, but now i know... anyways i wouldnt take it out well thanx for the video i suppose 0_0 ... haha im j/k great video Kevin =)

Just to let you know you don't have to pry on that little hook on the tour and such. If you put your finger nail on the little lip of the microSD card itself and pull, It will pull right out. No hasseling with trying to hold down that hook. Same with putting it in, Just push it right in, don't mess with the hook.

gotta love the machine to ease up on ya... lol

 
 
Posted by ADDrienne Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

I just wish I saw this video when I first got my Bold 9700. It took me forever to get the back cover off!

 
 
Posted by BBNewbie2010 Thursday, Mar 18, 2010 692 days ago

I had no idea how to remove these cards after watchhing the how to video. I am now a well informed crackberry user and know what to do instead of calling tech support......no offense to all the tech support folks. I call tech support from time to time for help on things.

 
 
Posted by shuzup93 Friday, Mar 19, 2010 691 days ago

hahaha nice video

 
 
Posted by jav3lin Friday, Mar 19, 2010 691 days ago

this has the be the most useless video on crackberry to date. i think crackberry ppl are just finding reasons to post stuff they have to come up with useless videos that ppl would already know how to do it. and if your new to a blackberry....guess what...removing the sim card is about the same as any other phone...along with the sd card.

way to go from keeping yourselves entertained...

post more useful things like upcoming new devices, new apps, and os updates. thats much more interesting.

Stupid going back on the blackberry browser put my comment here for the contest post.

I found the orginal video very helpful for my 8900. This one was a nice updaté

 
 
Posted by El Band Geek Friday, Mar 19, 2010 691 days ago

I accidentally broke the little tab thing on my tour awhile back. At first I was freaking out but I actually discovered it stays just fine without it and not having it actually makes getting it out a lot easier.

 
 
Posted by Berrynubee Saturday, Mar 20, 2010 690 days ago

So Kevin just pops out the battery on the 9700. What is the secret? My original battery was very stiff and the extra battery that I got from Amazon was so tight that I had to use a tiny screwdriver to pry it out.

I noted that the markings on the back side were not the same but I don't know if that is usual.

Sorry, I know there are new BB owners all the time, but there should be an MIT (minimum intelligence level, not the place of learning). If you are too stoopid to RTFM then stick to Nokia.
