Q: So, I just got a blackberry from verizon. I put the software on my computer, but when i go to the roxio application, it tells me my phone isnt ready and to put it into mass storage mode. How do you put the blackberry into mass storage mode?
A: Go to OPTIONS, then select MEDIA CARD... the third option from the top will be "Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected:".. just change that to "yes". Have fun! :-)
Frightened by the mere thought of picking up a partially-baked BlackBerry PlayBook ? So is Verizon Wireless, it seems. Despite a March 22nd press release (embedded after the break for convenience) from Research in Motion suggesting that VZW would indeed be a " retail channel " for the QNX-based slate, the carrier's Brenda Raney is singing a different tune. According to her: "The BlackBerry PlayBook is an amazing tablet that is already being widely praised as a multi-tasking powerhouse with an uncompromised web experience and an ultra-portable design," said Mike Lazaridis, President & Co-CEO, Research In Motion.

The Torch 9860 is a true world phone, with dual-band EV-DO Rev A (850/1900 MHz), quad-band EDGE (850/1900/1800/1900 MHz), and single-band UMTS (2100 MHz) support so it should work almost anywhere. Additionally, RIM's servers compress data so your roaming charges are half of what they'd be with any competing smartphone. That's part of what makes BlackBerrys appealing to international travelers.
on the other hand focuses on news and reviews that actually help BlackBerry users make the most of their devices. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Verizon is considering this ONLY because they see it as a revenue booster.
