This weekend I started having trouble with my Blackberry 8830 getting my email. After Ron helped me check all the Blackberry server stuff on our side, I noticed that the network indicator that normally says 1XEV in uppercase was instead showing as 1xev in lowercase.

After spending a little time in Google, I ran across a message board where I found out that the lowercase actually tells you something. It means that the phone is connected to the network, but not connected properly to the carriers Blackberry provisioning servers.

The fix was to power off, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, put battery back in and power up. After rebooting my email automatically started coming in again.
