I had a similar symptom (beeping) with brand new 957. After running
application loader the handheld went blank and starting beeping. When
unit was placed in the craddle it started to emit a single long beep.
Manual reset did nothing. I called Blackberry support. They advised
me that I had a "squealing 8 meg" -- the OS I had loaded (2.1) was
incompatible with the newer unit. They advised running a wipe utility
that they mailed to me and installing the most recent OS (2.5.0
handheld /3.5.0 desktop). This seems to work except some RIM DLLs
will not register. However, I believe this is due to an old MDAC on
an NT4 box and not a problem with the Blackberry SW.
