Can I synch it with MS Outlook to get all my contacts from there into it’s phonebook? I know it comes with blackberry software, but before I buy one I would like to find out. Thanks!
Yes you can synch the 8800 with Outlook. You will need to install the Desktop Manager software that comes with the BB and use that to synch.
What happens when you wipe out a blackberry curve?

I have a Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330 and I am planning to sell it on ebay, and I want to wipe out the blackberry before I sell it. I was wondering what exactly happens when I perform a "wipe" on the handheld? Is there anything else I’m supposed do after I perform a "wipe"?
When you do a "wipe", you are basically restoring the Blackberry to its initial conditions it was when it came in the box.
You will be deleting all the information from it doing a clean sweep of all data.
The Blackberry will be back to "factory" settings which mean that the new owner will be asked to go through the device setup just like you did (if you did).
That’s all you need to do to be sure that the Blackberry is clean.
Blackberry users. Can I have messages from a sender automatically move to a different folder?

I use rules in Outlook to move messages directly to a Sub Folder based on the user email address. It does not do this on my blackberry. How do I get messages from one person to automatically bypass the message inbox and go to a subfolder?
When I enable the redirect, it only copies the message to that folder but it still sits in my messages.
Sorry, I didn’t mean this to be a YES/NO answer. Details are appreciated.
If you’re on a work BES system (work issued BlackBerry most likely with a BlackBerry server) then the BlackBerry follows the Exchange servers rules (aka if outlook redirects your email to a folder, then so does BlackBerry). However, there is an email option that you tell your BlackBerry not to show messages in other folders other than Inbox. If you are looking at your messages inbox, click the menu button, go to Options, one of them should say "hide filed messages", say yes. You can tell when something has been filed because it has multiple envelopes as an icon instead of one single envelope.
Now, if you bought your BlackBerry on your own and don’t have a BES system, then a "BIS" email system (personal that comes with a BlackBerry if an individual purchases it from the carrier) it doesn’t support folders or filing of any sort.
Hope that helps.
How do you get the blackberry mail icon to show up instead of the yahoo mail icon the blackberry 8800?

I had a blackberry and ported my number over to a different service provider just to find out that the new service provider didn’t work in my house. So I switched back to my blackberry and I guess in the process, my email information got deleted. When I went to add my yahoo email again, the icon shows up as a yahoo envelope rather than the original email envelope. Does anyone know how to get the original icon?
Actually, that is how the Yahoo! Mail icon shows now. It used to be a regular mail looking envelope but it has changed. So there is nothing wrong with your device. This is how the Yahoo! mail icon shows. Mine is the same way.

What is the difference between an unlocked iphone and a "high quality" copy iphone from China? I can’t understand why they are so expensive on eBay and other sites offer them for less.
What about those copies that actually look like iPhones with Apple logos all over them. They are indistinguishable in the pictures but how do they work? How do you go online with them?
most copy iphone like sciphone i68, hiphone,p168,i9,mini apple,ect..they do not have smart operater system (they all use MTK solution)at all.and so does other feature like 3g, wifi,gps,and no 16GB.but they do have bluetooth,shave change music function,slide screem.But i heard now the ciphone company are developing newest ciphone 6 generation,it will have smart system of 450mhz CPU,128 mb ram+256rom,windows CE 6.1 system,gps,wifi,bluetooth,3.5 inch screen. the price of copy on ebay are really a bit high. the normal price in shenzhen i can told you, for i68 is about 100-110USD.the ciphone 6 will charge 180USD as well.
