Everyone knows that to realign your phone to the nearest tower you press *228.
But what Verizon doesn't tell you is that there is also a code to align your DATA PLAN to the nearest tower, not JUST your calls. Luckily I spend enough time in the Verizon store (once a week) to make friends and uncover that by pressing *22899, you can speed up your data.
Also? If you're not traveling overseas, on your blackberry go to Options, Mobile Network and change your Network Technology to 1XEV instead of Global.
Of course none of this helps me since my house is where Verizon Blackberries go to die. But someone without a refurbed version might be able to salvage their phone with these tricks.
So my final trick for making your Verizon Blackberry work for you? Get an AT&T one.
