Hi there!
How can I use Bleckberry Software on my MDA pro?
I have the option of email-push with my contract, but can not use it, because there is no software for the MDA Pro
There is software for the MDA II, vor MDA III and for Compact but not for the Pro. If i try to install the software for MDA III (others are in the rom-upgrades only) i get a messege that the software is not certified for this device.
Any Idea how to use it anyway? Or any other Blackberry-Client for my MDA Pro??
Thx
Hi! you will have to wait for the first rom update by t-mobile. I am waiting for it since August last year...
You better don't count on getting the update in the next months. T-mobile really sucks with updates.
really really sucks
The BlackBerry connect software is currenly not availabe on the MDA Pro. Expected Q1 ‘ 2006

dunno if it will come the same time as the first service release that is listed as January
I´m raly no great fan of T-Mobile, but the release is not a probleme of t-Mobile, but one of RIM.
They have problems with the 3G because they normaly only use GPRS
That´s what i read in a magazin for GSM-Users.
But is there no way to use the Blackberry-software of the MDA II?
I found this, I wonder if our resident guru's can do something with this info:

Solving the Phone Synchronization Problem End-to-End
One of the anticipated features with Windows Mobile 5 is the "Blackberry-like" push email capability. This capability does NOT exist with the current Windows Mobile 5 devices, and it requires two components. First is Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2, which has shipped in the last couple of months, and second is the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) that needs to be installed on the devices, and will only be available via device manufacturers. MSFP is scheduled to be available early 2006. Note that it will require an installation on the device. (MSFP targets enterprise requirements such as the messaging feature described here, and over-the-air erase of devices.)
Those that prefer Blackberry or Good Technologies will note that this new capability is not truly push. Windows Mobile 5 devices will initiate the request for updates by sending an HTTP request to the Exchange server. (This is how Outlook Web Access and RPC over HTTP work today.) During the time that that the Exchange server is processing the request, the server will notify the device that new items have arrived and then the device will initiate a synchronization of the folders in which the items are contained.
In the end I believe this argument is all about semantics. What matters is whether or not one receives updates on the device in a timely manner. Regardless of the process, if I compare a Blackberry to Windows Mobile 5 and both devices receive email in about the same amount of time, end-users will be happy.
The Microsoft solution requires fewer components for the overall service. Blackberry requires additional servers, Blackberry Enterprise Servers (BES), on the comporate network. BES monitors mailbox folders of Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange servers, and when new items arrive it grabs a copy, and sends them to the Blackberry Network Operations Center (NOC). The NOC provides the bridge between the Blackberry devices and the corporate email server. The NOC does the important task of keeping track of devices so that whenever new mail arrives, it is sent. The devices, in turn, are keeping in constant contact with the NOC so that the NOC knows that the devices is available to receive mail. This is why if you have a Blackberry you will see it constantly polling.
Another dependency in the Blackberry solution is the interface between the mobile provider networks and the Blackberry NOC. In essences what happens is that the device communicates on the providers network, the provider network routes to the NOC, the NOC sends email that it receives from BES. If you have Blackberry service provisioned by T-Mobile you can't then just move the device over to Cingular (soon to be AT&T) and expect Blackberry to work. Rather Cingular has to set up your device to work via it's connection with the Blackberry NOC. (In contrast, take an unlocked GSM/GPRS device replace the T-Mobile SIM with a Cingular SIM and the e-mail service will work, completely within the control of an end user.)
The NOC is at the heart of the threat to people losing their Blackberry service due to the patent infringement case. If required by the courts, RIM will have to shut off the NOC, which will effectively shut off the Blackberry service.
Microsoft's solution does not have a NOC nor does it have separate servers like BES. All you need is Exchange 2003 SP2 and devices provisioned with MSFP. Clearly these are fewer components for systems administrators to maintain and that will make it an appealing solution to corporations. The service will be entirely within a company's control, and companies won't be at risk of having the service disabled if the NOC is offline either intentionally or due to an outage.
Have a look at this Thread - Its about a Outlook-Transfer that uses Imap-idle
The Beta looks quite good.

I have followed the Blackberry-related threads, but a couple of questions remain. Forgive me if I missed an answer that's already posted.
First, I'm using the PDA2K with a Cingular SIM. I have the the "unlimited PDA data" plan, which a Cingular data support technician tells me should qualify me for Blackberry service. In fact, I used that plan when I had a Blackberry 7290 through Cingular before I got the i-Mate device.
I installed the O2 version of the Pocket PC Blackberry client software- with no problem (even though after the install a message appeared telling me that the client software might not display properly because it was meant for an earlier device).
Question 1: When the Blackberry client is running on the Pocket PC, the handheld won't sync with ActiveSync. Is this to be expected?
Question 2: My company's BES redirector software on my desktop doesn't see my Pocket PC even when the Blackberry client software is running on the handheld, the handheld's in its cradle and the cradle's connected via the USB port to my desktop. Is this because of some conflict with ActiveSync perhaps?
Question 3: In checking the settings on the Blackberyy client software on my handhled, I see no PIN #. Is this because Cingular's ROM doesn't serve up a PIN # for the device - because, in turn, Cingularl doesn't support Blackberry connect software? I take it there's no other way to load my old Blackberry PIN # (from my Blackberry 7290 days - it's still "alive" on the Cingular Blackberry website) short of through a ROM update of some sort?
Many thanks.

We are in the same exact boat except for i am on AT&T. I tried the O2 version and had the same problem. That is because the PIN on blackberry devices are harcoded into the device it self and the PIN from blackberry connect is generated by the software(most likely in association with IMEI, which is the truly globally unique ID for mobile devices). Then I installed the .CAB file extracted from the German T-Mobile III(same device as ours) and the desktop software. Except for the Connect software on the device is in German, there is no problem. The software generated PIN when I opened it, and talkes to the desktop, so the BES side also get the new PIN. Seems like evrything should be working now but no--I think the blackberry APN and IP need to be changed from the BB Connect settings but I don't know how, since those are carried over from the German T-Mobile settings. I will try to contact German T-Mobile to see if T-Mobile US supports it or not, if yes, I will switch.
I know of Blackberry, but I never heard about a client on the PocketPC. I currently have the $19.99 Media Works Unlimited plan, can I use that application as well? What benefits would I have in using it? If I could use it, where can I download it? Thanks.
Hi guys,
My company has MS Exchange and BES servers installed, and few of my co-workers are using the BlackBerry services with regular BB devices. Currently i'm trying to enable this on my XDA IIs (Asian, with latest ROMs). I got the service enabled on my SIM card via my local carrier (Orange Israel). I've tested the SIM on a regular BB device and it worked just fine.
I've installed Blackberry_1.2.4.19.cab (and also tried HTC_PocketPC_TMO_Austria_Germany_Load_Working-1.cab), but the service still does not work. Either the PIN number is not assigned, or the PIN number reported on the device does not match the one in the BES. When i run BBConfig on the desktop it reports that the PIN is not configured.
Also, where should i enter the "activation password", which is generated by the BES in response to a PIN?
Maybe someone can post a step-by-step guide on how to enable BB service on HTC Blue Angel with BES?
Thanks!

When used as a BB what are the cost like? Is it just a case of installing the cab? Where do i get the cab?
What protocols does it support? just exchange?
There's a small initial connectivity fee for enabling access to BB APN (blackberry.net), and then there's a monthly payment. I'm not sure about the real costs as its handled by my company.
In theory installing the CAB on the device and BB Config on the desktop should be enough if you have a BES server that pushes your e-mail. CAB can be downloaded from forum's FTP site (use the search function to find the exact link).
However, after installing and enabling everythin i still can not get it work. Hitting the "connect" button on the BBConfig results in an error message, and the BB client on the device can not connect to the server.
I know that some people managed to get it working. It would be great if one someone could post a detailed guide, as my operator would not provide any support for HTC-based devices.
Getting BES to work on T-Mobile
Some non technical experience:
I run the BES on my MDA III. Whilst I am on T-Mobile UK, our Corporate BES is Vodafone based.
After downloading and installing the BB PC desktop software from T-Mobile Germany (it is in English) for the MDA III, the client software is already resident on my MDA III (it is in the latest extended ROM), I had to get it enabled by T-Mobile. T-Mobile had to send the appropriate service books to the device AND enable the individual sim card at a network level (this latter issue took some discussion between my IT Department and T-Mobile UK).
Since then I have been up and running BES with no problems. The monthly service fee is around £30 from memory (so it is not cheap! :shock: )
Hope this helps.

Our company runs Novell Groupwise and has the latest Blackberry BES4.0 for Groupwise. Runs very nice on our RIM-supplied devices.
I have downloaded the htc_pocketpc_tmo_england_2.0.0.25-18.cab file from the wiki, and the Blackberry Connect application seems to run on my unadullterated PDA2K without having to go as far as a ROM upgrade. (which I did not expect). However, I can't for the life of me get it running with our Groupwise BES. All the documentation refers to Lotus and Exchange, and the BBConfig applications only come in Lotus and Exchange flavours.
Before taking the rather extreme step of doing a full ROM upgrade, am I wasting my time? Can Blackberry Connect be made to work with Groupwise?
Path for CAB file in wiki
Could you please tell me where in the wiki did you find the cab file? I'd like to download it myself and perform some tests.
Thanks

i remember being able to get push email from my SE p900 a few years ago so does this mean that my service provider(globe) here in the philippines supports blackberry connect and if so how do i get this feature onto my BA?
so far, BA doesnt support push mail...many people are waiting for updated rom with the added.
BA does support push email. I am using it on my MDAIII. With T-Mobile UK it is called Instant Email from Blackberry.
So far only T-Mobile UK and T-Mobile Germany seem to be supporting Push Email in both the BES and BWS flavors.
Otherwise you can try Smartner at http://www.alwaysonmail.com/ .

Hi
I have been using Smartner for a while and it is not bad but current version does not sync Calendar.
There is a new version coming that will but it is not here yet.
This software does require you to have a PC permenantly connected to your network but if you have a Desktop machine this will do the job fine.
BUT I really would like Blackberry software as we have a corporate server.
I just wish I could find an easy to install version of the Blackberry client to try.

European subscribers are doing well with KPN through Visto. I used to work for them, and they sync pretty well.
Visto Tech Support is done from the Philippines.
Smartner
the Pro version of Smartner supports calendar sync.
i will post it on the ftp site on Monday
It does BUT does not work for everyone.
I installed it and could not get it to work.
For me The Client and push server would not connect.
Smartner support where very helpful and I supplied them a number of logs files which they told me had allowed them to find a problem that stops the Pro version working with 'some' not all installs.
HOWEVER they will not provide a fixed version until late this year because they are upgrading the Server/Corporate version.

I have been using BB Hub+ on my Xperia Z5 Premium since last August with no problems.
Ever since my device upgraded the OS to Nougat 7, Hub only syncs with my corporate email while connected to our company wifi. Other than that nothing at all. Although the native built in mail client of the device works flawlessly in all conditions. Also all other devices within my company are working with no problems.
Since I am the IT Manager of the company I was able to take a look at the firewall logs (ISA 2006) and found out that the traffic coming from the phone while not connected to the company wifi is being rejected because it not recognised as anything defined within the FW rules although when connected to the corporate wifi it works fine and is recognised as activesync traffic and hence applying the appropriate rule to it.
I have opened a ticket with BB and tried several things with them including sending them my device logs to their level 2 tech support. We even went to the point of completely resetting my phone but nothing seemed to work.
It is really frustrating that I have to wait to come to the office to update my mails, contacts and calendar.
Can anyone help please
Thank you in advance
