The Blackberry Curve is available in several models, including the 8300, 8500 and 8900. While these models have different features, tools and benefits, the process for assigning a voicemail speed dial key is the same for all of them.
Assigning a voicemail speed dial key will save you from having to dial your voicemail number or access the voicemail button through your main menu. Athough you’ll still be able to do either, setting up a speed dial key will save you time.

The BlackBerry Curve is a smartphone manufactured by popular cell phone company Research in Motion (RIM) and is available on most major cell phone carriers, including AT&T and Verizon Wireless. If you are having issues with your BlackBerry Curve, there are some easy troubleshooting steps you can take.

Phone Locking Up

One common issue with BlackBerry handsets in general is the occasional lockup. This can be attributed to several issues, including data flooding, network congestion or processing issues. If your screen freezes or your phone stops responding, the best way to remedy the problem is to do a hard reset. To do this, press the battery latch on the back of the phone and pull the battery out. Wait a few minutes, and then plug the battery back in. It will take several minutes for the phone to reboot, but once it does, all functionality should be restored.

Battery Won’t Charge

If you are plugging in your battery, but it isn’t holding a full charge or not charging at all, there is either a problem with the charger or the battery itself. RIM recommends using only BlackBerry-branded chargers, so if you are using a third-party peripheral, try swapping it out for an official one. If you have had your BlackBerry Curve for a while, your battery may be out of date. If the battery is holding less that 50 percent of its original charge, then it needs to be replaced. The faster you can replace the battery, the better, as old cell batteries can swell, which can lead to permanent phone damage.

Data Disappear

If you have noticed that some of your emails, phone logs or text messages have started disappearing, your phone may be running out of memory. To help with this, delete any unnecessary apps from your phone, delete the cache and history in your browser, and consider upgrading your SD memory card in the expansion slot.

Just like your eyes are the windows to your soul, your Blackberry is the window into your life. If you lose your Blackberry, you give someone the keys to your life. They have your schedule, contacts, emails, account numbers and financial information. You do not want to give this information away to a stranger. Password protecting your Blackberry is a must in a society where stealing personal information is as easy as ordering a cheeseburger at a fast food restaurant.

   Turn on your Blackberry device. It should take a few minutes to turn on. Click the "Menu" button. It is the button to the left of the trackball.
