Sounds like a mess :)

At that point I would have to say re-install the firmware.

Seems like you somehow got a type of virus on your phone that has destroyed some critical files.

If i can find the German link to the American firmware again, I'll post it so at least it's like a firmware upgrade which would overwrite the core files. it also adds video capture which isn't the best quality, but it is nice.

I don't think there's a good enough virus software out there yet for the BB, but if you have one on your PC you might want to try hooking it to the USB and running a virus scan on the phone through Windows.

try taking out your battery and deleting some of your inbox text

turn the phone off and take the battery out then turn it back on and for some reason it re sets itself and works
