I seriously screwed up when I purchased the Verizon 6800 smart phone in May. I was a month getting my email to work and then the signal was so weak that I rarely received a call. Messages didn't appear for a day or 2 sometimes. About 2 times a day it would freeze and I would have to remove the battery to reset it so that I could perhaps make a call. I think that Verizon has been dealing with lots of issues on this phone because I didn't even have to beg for them to replace it with a Blackberry - my first choice anyway but it was out of stock for 3 visits in May. These issues were driving me crazy as I do sell real estate for a living and work mostly from home where the signal was alway very weak.
I have my Curve working (with one exception) after just a day and a half. The signal strength is wonderful wherever I've tried using it. What a luxury to be able to sit at my desk and receive phone calls instead of running to the deck where my phone lived so that I might receive calls.
This may seem silly, but one of the primary reasons that I wanted the Blackberry in the first place was because when one viewed an email message, any phone numbers within that message were highlighted. It is possible to just scroll down to the highlighted number and push the trackball to respond to the email by phone is necessary.
I checked this out on my phone and it asked me if I wanted my phone to proceed with the call - I responded "no" thinking that it just meant this particular call. Well, it must have mistaken my reply to mean that I never wanted it to do that. Now, I can't fix it. I have successfully eliminated the feature that most appealed to me. I can't find any reference to this feature on any web site. If anyone can help, I would be most grateful.
