How do I send a text? I had no trouble on Samsung Flip phone, but I can't figure out how to get the phone # into the phone!!!

Select Messages, then Press the BB (or menu) button and select Compose SMS Text. You can also select the Compose Icon after you select Messages, and then select SMS from the list. :)

It seems good, but I bet most people didn't get a Blackberry for music.

would these cards work on att bold 9700? or will only work with verizon blackberries?

$49 bucks for a pre-set list of what OTHER people think of as good music... oh, wait... it's not a list of GOOD music, it's a list of POPULAR music. blech...

perhaps Verizon is unaware of a FREE app called Slacker?

I couldn't agree with you more. I bet they don't have a playlist for me. Excuse me, Verizon, do you have any Dimmu Borgir on you?

I dont get it...its not hard to put them on your own microSD. Lazy, lazy, lazy

 
 
Posted by valorian Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

I agree it's not hard but yet there are still lots of posts in the forum asking how to do it.

i forgot to mention. you must not be very smart if you dont know how to go about your own microSD and putting music on it

proof yet again that vzw customers are idiots... i mean, if you can't load your own songs on a microSD, give up now!

...a Verizon idea, its an industry push to get DRM back into music. I admit it's a lame and lazy idea, but it's not new. I thought this idea was introduced back in Sept. '08.

Movies are also being put on microSD cards, keep your eyes peeled.

...another link to SR (Slot Radio). There is Slot Radio and Slot Music. Not sure exactly what the difference is, I believe Slot Radio are the actual cards and Slot Music are the players. Either way, don't buy this crap and give the industry back it's DRM.

I love that only an "idiot" like yourself could take something that a company is doing and turn that into some type of degrading comment towards people who use Verizon's service.

It does not interest me. I do not listen to music played on commercial radio stations, so I would not want a card filled with songs that somebody else likes and I do not. I have an extensive music library and have no trouble adding the songs I like to a microSD card. I also listen to Slacker radio.

We are not idiots just lazy.... Not that i would ever buy this since i have an 8gb micro SD card in the phone already. Plus dont use music i put on the phone. Just Pandora or other like apps.

 
 
Posted by michikade Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

I could see this being worthwhile to someone who listens to popular music. It comes to $0.049 per song - so if someone maybe doesn't have an extensive library or if they are not technologically inclined it could be a good thing.

I don't want or have a need for something like this - I have quite a few favorites on my SD card and I listen to Pandora - but I can see the concept.

what a waste of money...i can think of a million things better to spend 50 bucks on that a crappy 9.99 sd card with a buncha songs that i probably wouldnt like anyways...

 
 
Posted by mi_canuck Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

when you can get a 16GB microSD for <$40 these days, this is truly a big honking waste of money... i've never seen something so ridiculous... what's next... vzw customers asking for their BB's to wipe their asses???

 
 
Posted by BigDNY Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

Not a bad idea... just make sure the BB uses alittle powder aftewards..Please!!

 
 
Posted by Propa Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

Lol I wouldn't dare waste my money on crap like this...I'll just stick to loading music on my sd card myself

 
 
Posted by meske Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

Why would you buy this when you can install the slacker app and essentially get the same functionality for free?

 
 
Posted by rwalford79 Monday, Feb 01, 2010 740 days ago

Especially with Station Caching!

 
 
Posted by netwerx1 Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

Wow...Like P.T. Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute...

 
 
Posted by jabbs1 Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

$50 so i can waste my time deleting music off the damn thing!

 
 
Posted by cbrown61 Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

I would imagine that most people who have a BB are computer savvy enough to load their own music on a card. If you have to buy a preloaded card for your phone, what other great features of the phone are you not using?...

 
 
Posted by albokay Monday, Feb 01, 2010 741 days ago

this card is offered for one type of person.

The person who can afford any gadget they want but cant buy the knowledge they need to use it to its potential.

Blackberrys, being a business status phone, will end up in a lot of these peoples hands.

 
 
Posted by rwalford79 Monday, Feb 01, 2010 740 days ago

If anyone wants to send me their SD card, I can put music on it for free....

Gotta like music thats in the Electronic, Trance, or House category though...

Either way, it will save you $50 over what crap Verizon wants to charge you!

It may be DRM laden, and it may not have music *you* particularly like, but it is *legit* music for $.05 per track, which is a lot less than you would pay on Itunes. If Slacker isn't your fancy, and you like the music the cards come with, this is a cost effective way to get *legal* music on your phone.

Is there any reason to post "but I don't like that kind of music!" or "but I would rather just pirate my music!" in this thread? Come on. Not helpful.

 
 
Posted by Jude526 Friday, Feb 12, 2010 730 days ago

But I wouldn't use this. I download my own music on the micro SD. No need for this but for someone who wants music and not download.........then this would be great for him/her.
But to say someone is lazy isn't very nice now is it?
