Hi. I've got sx66 version of the Blue Angel on Cingular. It was sold to me as having an integrated Blackberry client (obviously not true). Has anybody got the Blackberry client from one of the other OEM version ROM images working?
If so, have there been any other side effects in applying the image?
Thanks in advance!
MDA III & Blackberry
I am looking into the TMobile MDA III which I believe is the other name for the SX66.
I want to do the same, basically have the MDA III and need the blackberry push service (which I understand will pick my corporate mail from my Exchange server in my office) and push to to my MDA III.
I've heard from Tmobile that they will be offering the push service soon. I hope this helps. I imagine the Push service will be provided by RIM and therefore available through all mobile operators.

Yes it works with my MDA III
http://www.t-mobile.de allows download of the (German language!) ROM update which includes the Blackberry client.
My local T-Mobile Shop (here in Austria) told me that this software doesn't work in Austria. (I already have had a "real" Blackberry with service from T-Mobile austria) because the protocols are not compatible. I tried it nevertheless and it worked (yes, sure ... protocols ... and that's why the blackberry client for the MDA II is supported, but not for the MDA III. Right ;-))
After installing it, you can go to the instantemail web site for your old blackberry, log in, go to "profile", and select "change device". You then have to enter PIN and IMEI of the MDA III (which is displayed in the blackberry client) and messages will now be delivered to your new device.
There is one major issue: the device will turn on whenever a blackberry message is received. Even though the backlight is turned off after the specified interval, the device itself (including the screen) will remain turned on. This obviously drains the battery in just a few hours rendering the current version of this solution non-unsable in practice.
Maybe that's the reason why local T-Mobile still says that this software "does not work" ...

Cingular bundles a push service called XpressMail...
... that also keeps turning on and leaving on the device. It works (to a point), but it's no Blackberry...
I successfully installed and configured the recently published BB Connect program onto my Universal. T-Mobil Germany officially came out with the BB Connect add-on a few days back, and it turns out it actually is dual-platform-aware, Wizard and Universal.
It can be downloaded at ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/BB Connect/mdavario_sw_bb_03-2006.zip
There is one *but* though. Until now, I only got it to work on TMO-UKs 1.20 MDA PRO ROM, but my suspicion is that it actually has something to do with the radio version. BB Connect works flawlessly on radio versions 1.06 and below (I saw similar behaviour on the Blue Angel devices where radio versions beyond 1.13 could not made to work with BB Connect).
Anyway, although initially I could not get it to work with the Jasjar 1.20 rom, I must say I did use the 1.09 radio. I will be re-installing the Jasjar rom later today, this time with radio version 1.06 and report back on the results.
(While I was writing this, I heard my "T-Mobilized O2 XDA Exec" happily signalling the arrival of new mail )
BB Connect working on MDA Pro
I can confirm that the BB Connect Client from the Wizard is working on my Universal.
It seems also correct that you have to have the t-mobile ROM installed. I tried it with the latest I-Mate ROM but it failed to connect after the initial setup. I then installed the lastest t-mobile ROM and now BB Connect is working like a charm...
Great stuff!!!
Cheers
version no
Wiz,
Kindly advise what version is your latest t-mobile rom.
Thanks & Regards
The combination that works is TMO UK 1.20 (or lower) and radio 1.06 (or lower)
Other versions (Qtek, Imate) work as well, as long as they are AKU1 and *not* AKU2
I can confirm that it DOESNT work on O2 Rom with radio 1.06, with VF Account and DE TMOB BB.. I will try to do the tmob rom update in the next couple of days...
will the tmob rom and bb client work ok with a VF account??

We have a BB Enterprise subscription and a BES at our central location. Our provider is VF Germany. I dont know if you can use BB with VF-Push but I _asume_ that it will work.
took the leap this morning as it appears the rom has other useful things in like an updated BT stack for BT Caller ID Etc..
Bottom line is it all dropped in ok, have BB coming down from our BES, bizarre thing is though the from address is shown as an exchange address and not email, and I cant reply as yet.. maybe something on our BES server needs tweaking..
Anyone know how to remove the Tmob links on the Home Screen? I've changed the theme back to Windows Default for the time being but would like to remove some of the Today ICONS that TMob stick on there..

Cheer, Taurus
get from the source
https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_vario.htm
Some N00B questions:
1) How do I tell if I am on AKU1 or AKU2
2) How do I find the older ROM.

Not working on T-Mobile MDA Pro German
Hi tried this, but I cannot get it to connect to the BB server. The software lists IMEI and BB PIN. It seems to connect for one or two seconds (for that time, I see an IP address in the status window), but after that, it disconnects and stays that way.
I phoned T-Mobile MMS (Multimedia Services) yesterday and asked them about it. To my surprise, they did not try to shake me off because I was using a Vario software with my Universal, but honestly tried to reproduce my problem - and succeeded in that.
They told me that the BB client for T-Mobile MDA Pro German should be released "early in April", gave me a EUR 10 Bonus on my bill and told me to watch their homepage for the software update. I'm quite satisfied with that

Will this work for Any BB Enterprise server, Please clarify i wanted to get rid of the BB at the earliest & use my dopdo only

Works for me!!
It works for me... Radio Ver 1.09 o2 XDA exec... using it while roaming in Europe with T-Mobile USA Blackberry Intl Plan.. connects to both Instant Email and Enterprise. ... no probs... although it sucks compared to MS Direct Push... you need to switch APN's manually so that you can use PIE... also, it just feels like bloatware compared to the native push solution....i uninstalled it and continued using MS Direct Push...

Could you, please, confirm which versions of ROM, RADIO and ExtROM you use ? The only combination i was able to runn BBCOnnect was T-Mobile ancient ROM 1.20.120. Others never worked.
Would someone please be kind enough to post the ftp link to the exact T-mobile rom that works with the BB connect software?
Never mind I got it all running but I get no messages, I can send them but I have not recieved any.......
I had to call T-Mobile, they reset my location data in their system and now my BB is working!
Next I am going to try to install the O2 ROM, I did a backup using Sprite Software 5.1 and will do a ROM upgrade from T-Mobile to O2 and see if the BB works with that....
I posted this over in the wizard forum and was wondering if this was actually the better place.

Need some help.
Running a Univeral with the base TMO Rom 1.13.53 WWE and radio 1.03.01. I am running on the Cingular network.
I have installed the BB Connect software. It connected the moment the BES admin added me to the BES network, since then it has not really worked properly.
In looking at the Initial window for BB connect titled "Instant Email - ", I see Lookup, Settings, Register Now, Suspend and Hide enabled. Email Setup is disabled.
Under the Settings button I see:
Identity - my pin, my IMEI and sometimes an IP address.
Under the Status tab I see
Service: Not Connected, Data Tunnel Available, Network Available at different times, but typically Not Connected. I also believe that I see an IP address when I the state is on Network Available on the Identity tab, but since I can't see both tabs at the same time, I am not 100% certain.
I also have the option to suspend, restart, and uninstall on this screen. And a couple of Suspend Options.
Under the Service List, I see:
Blackberry [ALP]
Blackberry [CMIME]
Both of the above services are active. The CMIME Service has some synchronization options available.
Under the IT Policy tab, I see:
One was created yesterday and the name is default
Options Tab:
Connection: Blackberry Solution. Under the details button, APN -- blackberry.net, Username = rim, Password =password, IP Address - 206.51.26.189, Remote Port - 19781, Local POrt = 19780
Pim Tab:
Option to Sync Calendar.
About Tab:
Blackberry Version : 2.1.1.20
Transport Version 2.1.0.44
ROM Version: 1.13
System Version: 227.214.54.234
Device Type: HTC-Universal

I have just installed the O2 WM6 on my orbit and now I cannot get the GPRS monitor to work. It will install OK and I can add it to the "Today" scren but I cannot get it to track my GPRS useage. I have changed all the settings but nothing works. I am using the SPB GPRS monitor as supplied by O2.
Any ideas?
Already answered few pages back. U need new version 2.5.0, build 99(thats what i use) which is in beta for now, but it works.

Hey folks,
As subject I've not been around much since my Blue Angel was relegated to the glove-box for sat nav duties only. Since then I've had a few 'phone' phones, and I've also had a Vario II for a while. I've not really frequented here much because, well, it worked pretty well for what I use it for (mobile net surfing and being used as modem for my laptop). Anyway, my boss got a TyTN 2 and I had my first real look at WM6 - and I ended up here again!
Anyway, I've just flashed my Vario II with the HTC WM6 ROM from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829 - so far so good... It's 'working' - Phone is functional - It seems stable - I took it to bits and fixed the broken power-button too!
...I do have one pretty big issue though - I only ever use this phone for Internet Explorer Mobile / Opera and then as a modem for my laptop...
At the moment it's not connecting to the net... I've tried to copy the settings from a friend's Vario II but no joy (unless there is a password for the user 't-mobile'?) When I first put my SIM back in I got an SMS from T-Mobile saying 'reply to this message and we'll send you mms settings' etc. - when I replied I get the 'use the PIN 1234 on the settings' message but then no message with settings arrives. I tried to send the same things from T-Mobile's website and still no joy. I have done a couple of searches on the board but unless I've spectacularly missed it I can't see anything.
...Does anyone at all know how I can get my phone to connect to 3G/GPRS again? (It'd be nice to see HSDPA too but I'll not push my luck!)?
Here ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311446
In case you are using a T-Mobile Prepay card: that won't work!
Hey,
Thanks for your reply. Will those cabs be OK to use on a UK Vario II?
Thanks again and regards,
Rob.

Hello,
Eversince I installed the official T-mobile WM6 NL upgrade on my MDA Vario II (HTC TyTN), I have an application bar on the bottom that I can't remove.
I already tried it in the TASKS with Pocket Controler 6, but I couldn't find the service that runs this.
Sometimes I, accidently push the "Web'n'Walk" button and get the question: "Do you want to go online?".
I also want tor run the HTC Today Theme for WM6, but that doesn' work. I expect the application bar is the cause of this...
Who can help me, please?
Delete Regkey: HKLM\Init\Launch92->TrayAp.exe and make a Soft Reset.
Maybe the Number differs (LaunchXX), important is the Value TrayAp.exe.
