BlackBerry Issues? Get a BlackBerry Troubleshooting Guide
I have had my BlackBerry for a year now and I have often heard stories from friends and family about error messages that they have received on their BlackBerry phones or some other physical issue that their mobile has developed. I had chalked it all up to them being irresponsible with their mobile until about two weeks ago when I also received my very own error message. It is therefore safe to say that nobody is safe, so it is great that we now have this guide to turn to when we have BlackBerry issues that we need to troubleshoot.
