Punching Blackberry

# of rings before VM

At the default three rings (under your profile), I have  missed calls so frequently that I called CSR out of frustration.  They then bumped my rings to 6 which I thought was a little high but it's better than missing calls; and now to take advantage of free incoming....  so FYI, if you have this issue, call 611 from your cell phoen (option #3, #4)

BlackberryWallpapers

Here's a great thread on creating your own wallpapers through blackberrywallpapers.  In case the forum thread is closed or whatever, I've pasted the instructions below:

Phonemodz

Another nice website for ringtones and wallpapers.  Unfortunately, Chris5h has stopped updating the site but it's nice for the 7520.

Ringtones

Unfortunately for Nextel 7520 (and 7510) users, we are still trapped in the world of MIDI ringtones.  While there are some decent ones out there, here's a site that catalogs a lot of nice beats.

Free Ringtones UK; Midi catalog.
VodaBerry; also known as blackberrytunes.com (despite the great sounding midi files, they are still midi which can be DL'ed onto your BB.  It won't sound the same as if you played it off the PC but it will work)

Note: Reqwireless browser does not support MIDI playback but NOL browser does (so many page views just to get to the meat!). 

What's nice is that with OS4.0, there is a built in MIDI player which was not present in the 7510 (running pre-4.0 OS).  The MIDI player has a nice interface which features a play button, a stop button and a menu.  Yes, you can save the ringtones.  I'm using 'PinkyandtheBrain'.  sweet.
