So I went to my local Verizon store to find out why my blackberry curve 8330 is running very sluggish. I was told that I wasn't closing programs properly. Here is what I was told to do in order for my blackberry to pick up the speed. On the main screen I was told to hit the menu button and then hit the menu button again, next, I have to hit switch applications and close out programs that are still running. I did all this and still my blackberry is running like a turtle. Anyone like to comment on Verizon's advise, and has anyone else had a Blackberry that ran in reverse, and what did you do to put it in top gear? Thank you.
