Blackberry Connect for Pocket PC - Cingular Customers

Alright Guys and Gals, it's time to take it to the next level: If we want this service from Cingular Wireless then we are going to have to make our voice heard! I do not want to see this fall by the wayside because someone decides that we really did not want this service.
I challenge all in this forum to go to the following web site and send this (in it's entire context, modified, or your own rendition) to Stan Sigman, CEO of Cingular Wireless. I would request that if you modify this request or create your own that you do not use it as a Cingular SLAM session but a true request from Cingular Sx66 Customers for an additional serivce:

Send the following message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Sigman;
Congratulations on becoming one of the largest wireless provides in the US. I hope that with this acquisition that we (your customers) or not forgotten in all of the turmoil that an acquisition encompasses.
I am writing you for a specific reason. Cingular Wireless has traditionally been behind the rest of the wireless service providers in the area of technology. That is why we were surprised and thrilled when Cingular Wireless began offering the Siemens Sx66 phone/Pocket PC device. Many of us (your customers) purchased this device in spite of the high price tag as we wanted this new technology that provided the possibility to combine so many of the different devices that we all carry on our belts.
There is another service that we are eagerly awaiting but have been told many times by customer support that they either are “not aware of any plans” or that “there are no plans” regarding this new service. The service is the “Blackberry Connect for Pocket PC”, a service that Cingular Wireless already provides (blackberry services) that would allow us to utilize our Siemens Sx66 devices to send and receive our corporate eMail and iPages.
TMobile International is already offering this service and TMobile USA is currently planning on implementing this technology. We (your customers) have purchased the Siemens Sx66 device, purchased the wireless plan with contract or upgraded per our contract. We have also purchased the wireless data plans or the MEdia Net service plans and are eagerly looking for some information as to Cingular Wireless’s intentions regarding this service and a possible release date. We would much rather receive this service from Cingular Wireless rather than having to switch our wireless service plans to another wireless service provider. This new service helps justify the expense of the Siemens Sx66 and will finally move us in the direction of a single device with many services.
I would appreciate receiving more information on Cingular Wireless’s intention regarding this service/technology.
Your Customer,
(Your_Name)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please distribute ths post on as many Sx66 forums as you can. Together we might get this service.

If anyone gets a response, please post here.

I received a call back fro mthe Office of the President. Ther Rep is currently researching internal sources to see if they are evaluating this service.
Although there are several Reps working in this office (of course the president doesn't answer his mail), but she had not heard of any other requests on the "Blackberry Connect for Pocket PC" service.
I need your help, let them know that we want, expect, and will get this service either through Cingular or TMobile (preferably Cingular)

Received another call back. They are still researching. A couple of other Cingular customers have told me that they are receiving eMails stating that Xpress Mail or GoodLink is Cingular's Solution. GoodLink is great but does not help for the many companies that have BES infrastructures and that will not go to GoodLink.
Need more voices!

as long as you have blackberry service on your account with cingular you should be able to use your BlueAngel with BB Connect installed on it ... I'm a cingular customer but my blackberry is on T-Mobile, i'm using a multi-carrier SIM so i have both Cingular and T-Mobile accounts programmed on the SIM .... i don't have problems with the P910 as well as my XDA IIs

difensore: i agree with you, however i cannot get the cab files anywhere for blackberry connect for pocketpc.
if you could post them on the ftp site here it would be greatly appreciated!
Raptor

CAB files and desktop client files, too!
Thanks in advance on behalf of all of us suffering Cingular customers...

I am not too smart, so forgive my question: What would this service buy us that the XpressMail (Cingular service programmed by Seven) doesn't?
sorry for my ignorance...

BBConnect
Raptor,
The BBConnect .cab is actually in the BlueAngel folder of our FTP site.
i'll look for it but it should be here ...

difensore: The one that was on the FTP site was a german build for TMobile. You stated you were using a version in Americal on Cingular's Network.
What would this service buy us that the XpressMail (Cingular service programmed by Seven) doesn't?

Those of us that use RIM devices (aka Blackberry Interactive Pagers) generally use tham as they are required by our companies, are instant (push), and have other features. There is no need foor a desktop client to be running on a PC, and are much more reliable and stable. The Xpress Mail service is very unreliable, pull, and has to be reset too often on the device and the desktop PC.

Yes I checked, this is the germain TMobile version. an English Cingular version would be greatly appreciated and assure your honored place on this board...

Which SX66? AT&T or Cingular? There is a Differnce!

I just received my new Siemens SX66 from my Cingular provider. I tried to upgrade to the 1.33.110 firmware from the Siemens Website and got an invalid Country ID Error. In Contacting Siemens, they said that I have an AT&T variant version of the SX66...
So my Question is, since AT&T does not really Exist anymore, will my AT&T Variant SX66 be supported by Siemens/Cingular?? Should I return the phone and switch to a Cingular Plan?
I dont want to be stuck with a phone I cant upgrade or be forced to toss because they get rid of the AT&T SIM Cards or something...
Thanks,
Scott<-

In a word, yes.
If there is in fact a difference, then you're likely going to continue to have problems, unless and until Siemens makes modifications to the ROM to allow your unit to update.
If you are/were with AT&T, and then got absorbed by Cingular due to the buy-out, the quickest way to an answer is to return your current unit, and then "switch" providers to Cingular and get the SX66 from them.
I hope that helps. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply.... I had a feeling that this might happen. )-;
Now after all the people I know and have spoken with at Cingular/AT&T, there is no one who will understand my issue to help me out... I'm sure of it...
Any Advice?

Yeah... scream and yell until someone listens. Talk to managers and supervisors. Talk to regional/district managers... Talk to Level 2 tech support.. Someone there MUST listen. If they don't, return everything, import a PDA2k or XDAIII from O2 via eXpansys USA and then pop your SIM in the slot. That's what I did... Cingular doesn't even know, and doesn't NEED to know what phone I'm using. They've said that much themselves.

A Qwest/Sprint CDMA Question.

I have been looking for a while but found no difinitive answer for this question which makes me think it would be tough, but here goes. My friend had Qwest cellular service in Minnesota and had an HTC PPC 6800 with them. At the time that he had this, Qwest's service was actually rebundled Sprint, but with a Qwest badged phone. While he and his family's business had an account through them they were forced to go to Verizon for their carrier and in turn he recieved the Verizon version of his phone, the VX6800 I believe. After he had switched providers with Qwest he had his old 6800 still laying around and gave it to me as I had done some work for him and his family's business developing a VPN and remote server management tools and started to develop a Linux PBX for them. My questions are this:
1. Is it possible to use this phone with my Sprint/Nextel service?
2. What are the steps I need to take to make this possible if I can indeed use this.
I understand about flashing ROMS and whatnot, but, do I need to do anything first to the phone to "unlock" it to work with Sprint and then load custom Firmware? Or can I just use something like DCD's Titan Kitchen to make this phone work with it?
My part time job is working at a Radioshack and I talked to my Sprint rep about swapping the ESN on my account from my old Nextel phone I have to this 6800 and she said it should be no problem if the phone could be unlocked. I really hope there is a way I could get this to work as I would hate to see a perfectly good smartphone go to almost total waste since a company decided to change their contract and make all their users switch to a new phone company. I know it could still be used to some things but I could just buy a smaller PDA and carry my phone with as well but that is not what the whole smartphone movement was about now was it? Thank you very much for listening and thank you in advance for any help that you might be able to provide.

"Your text message cannot be sent."
Any help guys?
Thanks, Chris
EDIT: I'm on T-Mobile Combi 35 with Web'n'Walk from MobilePhonesDirect.co.uk

Sorry but *bump*
I'm kinda helpless here. I rang T-Mobile they couldn't even find the phone model to reset its settings so they couldn't do anything...
Help please?
I'm gonna take to a T-Mobile store tomorow.
Thanks, Chris

Is your Text Message Service Center number all set up properly? Can you check your voice mail?

I have no idea, this is the first time with a windows mobile/htc phone...
When I put my old Virgin sim in it works fine just had to change the network in settings.... Put in my T-mobile and changed it back to them and it doesn't work again...
I'm gonna go to a T-Mobile store today and see what they have to say about it.
Thanks, Chris

mobilephonesdirect
Hi ChrissehB,
I was looking at the deals on mobilephonesdirect but am a little wary of buying online from one of these retailers.
I have emailed them twice with the same question and they have not replied in the space of a week, which didn't help my confidence.
Can I ask, how were they to deal with ? Are they reputable, did you get the contract you were expecting with no nasty surprises ?
Maybe you could also answer the question I emailed them with. Was the phone on the t-mobile contract htc branded or has it been re-branded to t-mobile ?
Many Thanks
Si

It works fine, the phone is unbranded, no firmware branding or anything, unlocked. It's very good service. I went to a T-Mobile store and they said because its from a 3rd party it can take upto 48 hours to activate and the sim hasn't just activated yet so nothing to worry about...
Thanks, Chris

Thanks for the info Chris.
Si

You normally get this when you have no coverage ... it will offer a resend in the multithreaded SMS window.
If not ... I suggest you may have forgotten to run the carrier wizard and soft reset afterwards. This will setup the device for the new carrier stuff. It should off the wizard automatically when a new SIM is detected.
Paul.

Um Okay... Tried it and still nothing...
Thanks, Chris

Make sure the full area code in in you contacts mine is 353 or +353 them number i found 1 network you need full area code and some you dont.
Might work..

Just tried it with 2 other phones. One, an old nokia, says invalid sim, and the other, SE w810i, does the same as the TP2..
Hmm Ohwell... T-Mobile said if its not active by tomorow lunchtime then ring them and they will try to sort it out.
Thanks, Chris

It's all fixed T-Mobile said there was an error with the network which wouldn't let it activate but they've fixed it and it's all fine now
Thanks

Need help to run a kaisser with web2go

Hi, I had a att 8925 / kaisser that has on duttY's version of winmo 6.1. My plan was switched because my gf wanted unlimited texting and to be honest I didnt know she changed the entire plan price is better but im stumped. Long story short my tzones is gone, and I now have the 9,99 web2go plan . Ive tried switching the apn to quite a few different addresses (epc, internet2, and wap, also some ip address). I would switch back to my shadow but theres I believe a issue with the lcd or just the entire upper half and im pretty near broke to fix it. I wanted to know what you guys think are my options. I wish I could switch my imei from my shadow to my tilt but I know its illegal and no one would go near that area, but is there a way to make my tilt look like a shadow. The only reason I was thinking imea is because from what ive learned from countless tmo reps and the internet is that this new web2go looks at your imei number. Please any help would do. I just need my email.
