Dear Sir, I bought one Black Berry from Hot Spot Sarita Vihar 15 days back and found a problem in battery back up and send my phone to service centre at B-32,Lajpat Nagar, Part-11, New Delhi and my person was involved whole day and after checking they accepted the fault in battery and further said the battery is out of stock and it will take another 7-10 days.

My query if i bought world fame brand and got this type of service from the centre its rediculus and not accepted at all,coz a person can not survive without the mobile in today’s age and cant wait a long as mentioned above. Will any body give me response to make a call or should i take another action about this issue to highlight / escalate the matter.

We bought our daughter a blackberry curve last October. Since then we have had three more phones as O2 have sent them off to be fixed, from which they have just replaced them As they are not fixable. ). I cannot express how angry and annoyed I am.

Not only Is it a CONTINUES struggle to keep getting it fixed but is also a HUGE inconvenience to repeatedly sending them off. I think this phone is the BIGGEST WASTE of money I have ever spent & I would expect some sort of compensation from blackberry.

I have proof of ALL the hansets we’ve received due to these CRAP phones.

I have a blackberry 8520 on contract. It is currently on it 22 nd month, I have sent it in for repairs as the phone freezes sometimes, the track key is faulty, the phone takes long to reboot and also the camera button located on the rhs of the handset has come off.

Phone was booked in on the 6th Aug 2011. After numerous attempts to try and find out when the phone will be ready, I was told today by the repair department that I should pay approx R650 for the repair on the camera key.

I spoke to the supervisor, who claimed that the phones button was physically damaged. So she says that I had pressed the button too hard, I asked what the spec for force on the button was, she does not know.

Then I asked her if she there was any endurance test conducted on the BB which states how many times…

My name is Puneet working with the Royal Bank of Scotland. I recently took the Blackberry set from M/s Shree Shubham Communication in Panipat. The invoice no is 1621 dated 27/07/2011. The Model No is Blackberry 8520 (imie 357559049644077). A week back there was small blue line in the screen.

I went to the shop from whom I purchased the set. He directed me to the blackberry shop in Panipat. They looked at it and again directed me to the Service centre in Karnal. Karnal is 35 Km away from Panipat.

Yesterday I went to Karnal to New Mass Communication. And afterwards you need to pay for the display screen. He told us that under such scenarios Company considers the set as damaged and the warranty gets void. I had been using the blackberry since last 3 years but I neverfaced any problem.

I’m not sure whether this is your problem and whether or not you can find a solution for it. When I’m in Pretoria I have absolutely no problem with the blackberry service. It is always on, but when I go back to Potchefstroom, I have no service except on weekends when most of the students have left and extremely early in the mornings.

The blackberry “people” obviously didn’t do their homework when comes to Potch, because it is a student town and every student has a cellphone and every second student has a blackberry. Will you please provide more service in Pocth, because just owning a cellphone in that area is useless!!

Owning a blackberry is even worse! If you can help with a solution, please, please do!

I was sent an application from Blackberry to download the new version of their messenger system. I now can’t find the application anywhere on my phone although it keeps telling me the download was successful and the App is already on my phone when i have tried to download again.

As i am a business user i find it unbelievable that i have to search online for hours at a time to solve this problem. Any forums i have looked at have all given the same advise go into applications and delete then restart the phone and download again.

I have now lost my blackberry messenger service with all my contacts on trying to add people again through their pin it is advising them the status for me is pending so there is something seriously wrong with the downlading process. 0 i had absolutely no…

Good morning, I purchased a blackberry curve last year November I have it for 10 months now. And I have been experiencing a load of problems. 60 due to the back up that had to be done. I got it back last Thursday 04 August 2011.

A refurbished phone all was replaced which I was so greatful for I kept thanking the consultants as I was so chuffed. I went to Century City yesterday to see what the problem was apparently the “device faulty”. Please inform me as to what to do next I cannot keep driving up and down for this as my phone was already sent to JHB.

I feel so disappointed as I use my phone fir work purposes therfore I require my email to work. This is utterly ridiculous that I need to pay R59 yet the service hasnt been working for 4 days! Please assist me.

I have a Blackberry bold 9700. To begin my story my phone had an error message 523 with a white Screen. I immediately went into your sight for help and when they told me my phone had to be reprogrammed.

I downloaded the program to my computer but only when got half way through because they were working on the sight and I could not download. The next day I went into Charlottetown to the Bell centre at Charlottetown to see if they would download the program.

They said They could not because they didn’t have any computers. They said they would have to send my phone away and would cost up to $200 to fix. They also asked for another $250 for deposit on a loaner phone.

I did not agree with this as my phone was only 18 months old and I have taken very good care of it, never been dropped…

I purchase a blackberry slime phone in Brixton market, I was told that the phone was brand new, when went home and turn it on, I saw a message saying ” not to be sold for engineering testing only”. I went back to the shop and the guy told that how his supplier sold it to him, I was in rage because I knew that Research in Motion “RIM” wouold not sold a phone that their engineer is using for testing.

I went to an Orange shop and got one it did not give me that message, blackberry need to clean up their act because this seem as if someone is selling phone which are intended for testing by engineer and selling them on the open market.

I blacklisted my phone on 19th June 2011. I recovered the phone and completed all the documents and faxed to Vodacom on 27th June 2011. I called Vodacom 28th June 2011 and was advised that my phone was still blacklisted and was told to call the next day.

I have called Vodacom this afternoon and had to repeat myself to at leaset 5 people at Vodacom I get cut off all the time. The last person I spoke to was Robyn she told me to hold as she was checking something on her side as she could not pick the blackberry phone up on her side.

Once again I was cut off. Can someone competent at Vodacom assist me. I am at work and dont have time to repeat the same story to a different consultant each time.

As discussed with you related to the problem of my CDMA BBRY hand set 9630 vide no# 2684357315054 purchased from Anmol watches dt 29th dec- 2011 under bill # AW-23130. As my 9no *nd 0 no key is defective audio out put is not working, as suggested by dealer and through site I went to your authorized service centre @ cyber communications in sec-38 and

showed the problem to Mr avtaar singh and other reprentatives but they refused to rectify the problem stating that my phone is not listed under warranty system. I think I should communicate my grievances to you for any speedy actions for my high value hand set which is under warranty and no warranty is extended by blackberry centers.

Kindly take my mail as my notice and wish for your reply and actions in this regard.

This is to bring to your notice that my blackberry mobile (bold2) got stolen on 20th May 2011 at Marine lines. It was just a 05 mnths old piece and its really very sad to know that there is no kind of support from blackberry received till 21st May11. All the sales outlet says that we don’t have any tracking system and its gone ….. its just a negative feedback received which is creating a lot of stress after paying a huge amount and no service. Have also lodged a compliant at the marine line police station as well as Vodafone. Action taken by Vodafone was too quick and they issued a new sim card, but reply for blackberry the other day also was on negative side .

Have tried calling the customer service and spoke _______-, he states if he blocks the IME number he will not be able to track…

BlackBerry has made a huge tactical error in not including a microSD card slot on the Playbook tablet. This was one of the primary differentiators for me when I chose between the iPhone and the Torch. Every BlackBerry I’ve owned included a slot for a memory card, and it is incredibly useful to be able to just pop the card into a USB dongle and plug it directly into whichever PC I happen to be working on, to transfer files.

Where RIM used to be a leader with respect to feature-set and ease of use, they now appear to be following the Apple iPad marketing model of tiered devices, with no external memory upgrade options. There is no good reason to not include an external microSD port on a portable device nowadays.

I have a 64GB microSD card that I store EVERYTHING on and move back and…

I got robbed Tuesday the 26th April, they took my contract Blackberry phone. Went to MTN Uitenhage Branch the same day to block the phone & that’s where I took the phone by contract in 2009. They told me they won’t be able to block the phone without the box or paper work & I don’t have anything because its been 2years already I had that phone.

What I don’t understand is I had my I’d as proof that I’m the owner & I believe they suppose to have my full information in their system including the IEM number they asking for. Now whoever stole my phone is using my email address to send mails to my friends, tried to change the pass.

Please assist to block my phone.

I’m using the problematic storm 2 by blackberry and since the first moth using this device I haven’t been a happy chap. The phone keeps freezing regardless of its software upgrade or replacing it with a new one. I’m on pre paid n wasted my R7000 for this.

I cannot even insure this phone for heaven sake. I regret why I went for a blackberry phone instead of another product. I’m very much unsatisfied about this service n learned my lesson the hard way. Thank you blackberry for making a phone that keeps freezing like this.

I realize that this complaint may not be considered by most as the most critical thing in the world. I recently was forced into doing a firmware upgrade to my Blackberry Bold 9700 because it was freezing so bad I had to do a hard reset (battery pull) every other phone call.

Ok, what’s the big deal? They seem to back everything up but my Kings II Holdem. That’s the big deal. It took me like 6 months to amass $31M and now I gotta start all over again. Not happy with these problems with my Blackberry Bold.

Otherwise, very happy with the new platform. Much quicker.

I would like to complain about my Blackberry Bold 9700. Due to its poor quality I have been given a disciplinary warning at work and risk losing my job. This is due to the locking button on the handset ceasing to function and resulting in me accidentally calling my boss whilst talking to a friend specifically about how we weren’t getting on well with our bosses.

The friend I was speaking to has also had many faults with his Blackberry, currently being on his 3rd Curve 8520 this year. Please can you offer some explaination as to how such a large company as yourselves has managed to overlook so many design flaws, and also highly consider some form of compensation on my behalf for firstly the continued faults and

secondly the awful situation I now find myself in as a direct fault of…

i am far from happy with service no apology no nothing from blackberry you now have my 8520 now for repair. oh and why does it take three weeks to come back if you replace it with new one. sorry but the 8520 curve is the most unreliable phone i have ever bought i don’t trust that model after third time its been sent back i need reliable phone and this model is far from that.

Dear sir/ madam, I purchased a Blackberry curve 9300Kepler from the Vodacom store in Greenaches Port Elizabeth on the 14 Dec 2010, exactly 3 months ago. I was informed that if the phone had any problems within the first month it would be replaced.

If any problems arose after that I would have to take it into a store and have it sent away for repairs. As mentioned above, its 3 months old! During the latter half of Feb 2011 I noticed that the scrolling button on my blackberry curve was defective.

I would have to sit for literally minutes trying to get it the curve operate properly. This obviously is very annoying especially when one has to reply to email etc. Today I have found that the lock button on the top of the phone has also become faulty.

It does not lock at all. I utilize the…

I’ve struggled with Auto Page since the first time I’ve opened a contract with them (I really regret opening one THERE). I’ve got a Blackberry little more than a month ago and I’ve activated the blackberry service by dialing *147#.

The service worked 100% until it expired a month later (Last week Sunday, 27th Feb 2011). I’ve phoned Auto Page and Stephan said that they should do it manually. I’ve faxed my details through and Stephan said that it will take 24 hours to be completed.

He never phoned me back. I phoned again and the lady that answered said it will take 24 working hours. I’ve phoned today (05/03/2011) again (after the 24 working hours) and the lady that answered and said that she can’t help,all the consultants is busy.

I took a contract from Vodacom and received my Blackberry. Within a few weeks it started frezzing and givng me a lot of problems, I took it it Vodacare and they had it sent in and I received a new Storm 2.

I used it for a while and that started to give me problems as well. I then took that back and requested another model which they said they could not give. They replaced the phone with another storm 2 and yet again the phone goes faulty.

I am a sales rep and require my email facility at all times and that is why I took the Blackberry. I am truly dissapointed with my phone and request that they swop my phone for a later model. Thanks.

I bought a phone a little under a month ago on contract upgrade, its a top of the range Blackberry Torch 9800 and I was assured by the salesman that I had a very good phone. In Indonesia on the 31st of December 2010 (three weeks later) the phone went into wht they call an “Infinite Reboot Loop”.

This means that on startup, the progress bar will go to a certain level, then the phone will switch off, and startup again, repeating the process indefinitely. The Blackberry Torch is the best Blackberry currently on offer, the phone is three weeks old and is rendered unusable.

Blackberry 9000.

First let me preface by saying I work for one of the world’s largest corporations and am expected to conduct the majority of my business via cell phone. My company mandated blackberry 9000 has always been a time burner because of oddball problems over the time I’ve had it.

The latest glitch has come in the form of random re-boots that take me out of service for however long it take the phone to go through it’s restart routine. When it happens during a conference call, the whole interaction is lost by the time I am able to get back online.

This is a major loss of productivity for myself but more importantly for my customers. I look forward to the day I can rid myself of this pocket-stone.

I have a Blackberry 9520 on contract through MTN which is a SARS business contract. When I first applied for the line I requested the 8520 but for some strange reason received the 9520 and only realized it after opening the phone and because the phone was given to me through SARS facilities which handles all our cell phone requirements I kept the phone instead of going through the hassle and

paperwork of returning the phone. To tell you my story, I received my phone in April 2010 and started to experience problems almost immediately. The phone went in for repairs 3 times before finally being replaced with the same junk.

The phone cuts off, freezes, closes applications, doesn’t allow for calls to go out, can’t answer calls and eventually with the last phone that I had, it switched off…

I have been using blackberry service past of two years without internet services, all because of signal problems. I have the blackberry curve, which I have been using for quite some time now which doesn’t seem to want to get proper signal no matter where I tend to go!

Driving causing problems as well as buildings, but this is even more than usual and I don’t find a reason for it. Not wanting perfect signal but decent at least as I am paying one hundred dollars per month estimated in bills and fees for this blackberry smart phone!
