Well it looks like Friday the 13th got me pretty good this time around. Don't really have many places to look for help on this topic besides google, so I thought I'd give ol' BFC a try :)

Was trying to salvage my bust of an evening by stopping by a local place and getting a pizza and a beer. While I was waiting for my food I got a notice that a new Facebook upgrade was out. I download and install the update and it asks tells me I need to reboot for the update to take effect - I do so. Phone was taking an awfully long time to reboot, after about 50 minutes or so I decide to alt-shift-del restart it. Now my phone repeatedly cycles through reboots. The red light goes on for a couple of seconds, then the clock comes up and then the black screen turns white. The clock keeps whizzing around for a bit and then it just does it all over again.

Any ideas? Relatively new to the phone, only had it about a month and really don't know too much about blackberries

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I would take out your battery, then put it back in. It seems to take a looooooooooooooooooong time to boot back up. Then you should be good to go.
 
Made a post on crackberry (as suggested by a friend a lil bit ago), apparently my berry is nuked :( Installing the update somehow borked some crucial file/s on the phone that weren't supposed to be touched. I need to reinstall the OS on the phone. This should be a pain, but at least it's fixable.
