Unknown number on BlackBerry Bold.

Change the Firewall settings and also try by completely disabling firewall.

This is a device issue. You will need to contact your service provider for replacement options!

uor phone setting gone because you lost your bb restored

doesnt support for vcard, however you can copy contacts from outlook using Blackberry Desktop manager

do you have call display on your plan from your service provider? Even if you have your contacts programmed into the phones address book but do not have the call display feature all your called will come up as UNKNOWN number.

Seems like others are having problems with the volume:

Is your phone in warranty, because it may be you need to get a new one.

the blackberry will be using the Outlook calendar to update its information. its quite easy to use. What's happening is that the items calendared on the BB are syncing with the "private" calendar under the username (Outlook Today - Username - Calendar), and not the "public" calendar (All Public Folders - John Doe). No items are marked as "private" on the BB.

Install the Blackberry Desktop manager software and after its done go to the Syncronize Button. Once inside look to the left for configuration synchronization click this button it need you to be online to do this as well. inside it will list the many programs that can be used to sync your blackberry make sure you have already setup your outlook so that it can pick up the new settings your creating. once your all done look for the top upermost button on left of BDM ( blackberry desktop manager) and click syncronize to sync your blackberry. now once it is done your BB only needs to be plugged in and it will autosync itself. look in your outlook for new entrys and popup

Hi

I transferred all the contact names from Nokia N73 to Blackberry Bold 9000 using this method:
1- Fire up the Nokia PC Suite and synchronize to Outlook from Nokia (this will send all contacts from Nokia to Outlook.

2-Fire up the Blackberry Desktop Manager and synchronize from there and this will take the information from Outlook to the BB.

You are done.

Hope this is helpfull.

Your SIM Card is like a floppy disk, so if you want to permanently add those people from your sim card to your Blackberry - you need to copy from the SIM into the BB Address Book. Otherwise they will be on the SIM Address Book, and you can always go look them up - but they are not saved on the BB itself.

BB: To access your cell phone address book:

1. Scroll to select the ADDRESS BOOK icon and press [Trackwheel] to select.
2. Press [Trackwheel] again to access the Menu screen for the address book.
3. Scroll to select the SIM PHONE BOOK and press [Trackwheel] to select.
4. system should say LOADING SIM PHONE BOOK.
5. Then if you select the menu - you should have an option to COPY ALL TO ADDRESS BOOK, select YES so it will copy whats on the SIM to the BB Memory..

This will start the download process to read the contacts stored on your SIM card which were copied from your cell phone.

I had a similar problem just now. I fixed it by doing the following:

1. In the Blackberry Desktop manager, click the Synchronize link
2. Click the Configuration tab
3. Click Configure synch...
4. Double click the Contacts transfer (Device<--Outlook)
5. Make sure you have "Replace destination data" selected
6. Then perform the synchronization again.

Note, I am writing this from memory, not by looking at the computer step by step, so some of the wording for the screen instructions may be paraphrased.
