Blackberry and Qtek 9090

Hi All
I've been looking at getting a Qtek 9090 for a while now and I have seen lots of postings talking about the t-mobile mda iii supporting blackberry etc and maybe the odd posting where someone in the UK has got a xda2s or 9090 to do it using a particular rom.
Can anyone say that they have witnessed a 9090 with ANY rom on it that supports blackberry in the UK with Vodafone?
I'm really keen to get this going as it should be my ultimate device!
Thanks
Will.

Blackberry support has to be implemented at the provider end, as well as with the client software. Does Vodafone have Blackberrys?
Chris

Vodafone UK supports both Blackberry Internet Service (formerly Blackberry Web Client) and Blackberry Entreprise Server.
For BIS pricing Check Vodafone Blackberry Price Plan
As for the Blue Angel software, T-Mobile's Germany ROM supports the Blackberry Connect. Confirmation can be found here.
For a list of supported devices check Blackberry Connect. Scroll down to the paragraph that says Available Operating Systems and Devices.
Hope this helps.

I'm using Blackberry from T-Mobile UK. Using the ROM supplied by T-Mo UK Customer Services. It only works with their radio ROM, which means no radio upgrades possible. Push emails are great, but this version doesn't seem to be able to handle attachments (larger than a few kb).

Ok, thats all fine - we already have a vodafone BES server etc using standard blackberry handhelds and also nokia 6810 mobiles.
The real question though is - although t-mobile have got the MDA iii working with blackberry abroad (and with their radio rom) - is it possible to install their radio/roms etc onto the 9090 successfully?
I need to get the device (whatever I get) sim-free, and I am having trouble finding an mda iii sim-free in the uk...
Thanks
Will.

The T-Mobile ROM is available on this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
The BlueAngel is available SIM free from eXpansys.com and I got mine considerably cheaper from justtelecoms.com and it comes with the BB ROM already installed.
JT also do it on 1 year and 2 year contracts

Ok, thanks for that.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=QTEK_9090 is what I've been looking at getting
Can I presume that it is perfectly possible to install the t-mobile roms onto a qtek 9090 and then unlock to any network (as I'd need to use my voda sim)
Thanks
Will.

I beleive the Q9090 from expansys is already unlocked and yes, you can install any rom.
The JustTelecomms option comes with the correct rom already installed and they will sell it sim free for £330 and unlock it for only £15 or you can use the free unlock tool available here on xda-developers.

Can we all assume it will work? Yes.
Can we guarantee it will work? No.
I have bought the XDA IIs on this assumption. Due to lack of time the device is still in its box.
In the meantime I am still using my Blackberry 7230 but soon I will get my hands dirty and start playing with the XDA. If you're willing to wait a week or two then I'll let you know of the results.

I called justmobile and they don't take credit cards!!
Any other suggestions?

Touch Pro 2 with 3.5mm port in Europe?

Hi all,
Ive been thinking about getting the Touch Pro 2 for quite a while now, but then rumors appeared that Telus and Verizon versions will have a 3.5mm port on it seperately.
Now before i buy the Touch Pro 2 here in Germany, i was wondering what you guys think. Will the Touch Pro 2 with 3.5mm port ever be sold in Europe?
I'd even be happy with importing it IF it is unbranded (Hardware wise, ROM wise i can use HardSPL, which will be out by then )
Julian

My TP2 From T-Mobile Germany does NOT have the 3.5 port

Looks like it will be for the U.S market only.

I was curious about this myself, so I emailed HTC and this is what they said:
"There are no plans to do this that we are aware of.
It is possible, but nothing has been said about it.
best regards,
HTC Europe Support"
The "it is possible" bit gives me some hope, but not much.
edit: I was asking about the UK version

Distributor for iGo8 on TP2?

Hi guys (and gals)... I'm having difficulty lately running OnCourseNavigator 8 on my ATT Tilt 2. (OCN is the North American version of iGo.) It keeps saying it can't find a 400_800.bmp file and quits.
I've heard on the forums that people are running iGo8 quite happily on their TP2s, so I'm looking for a distributor whom I can talk to about an upgrade/swap for OCN.
Anyone have any suggestions? I tried NavNGo directly, but so far, they haven't responded to my emails.
Thanks.

Samsung Omnia 7 Three UK

Sadly it would appear that Three in the UK are not currently listing the Samsung Omnia 7 as available dispite WP7 listing them as a carrier
Anybody got any inside info on why this is?

Omnia 7 in the UK is available through T-Mobile / Three / Orange. But following a series of great deals for this handset, I can confirm it's currently out of stock on T-Mobile, so I assume that is the case with Three. For the past few weeks Omnia 7 has been offered for £15.33/15.00 pm on T-Mob/3 respectively.

I wonder if the device is being heavily subsided by Microsoft/OEMs or the carriers themselves?
I.e. are the carriers trying to get rid of their Omnia 7s or is it a concerted push by MS to try and increase their share of the market..?

I don't think it's a MS attempt, because all the other WP7 handsets retain their £20-30 pm price bracket, at least in the UK market. (HTC 7 Trophy being the only exclusion). The Omnia7 (the 16GB edition) was offered in Germany, from T-Mobile @ 199eur (~£176) on PAYG, as well.
It seems strange, though, cause if there is one WP7 device that enjoys some success, that's the Omnia7. Just a wild guess, the Omnia7 was close to hit end of stock, and was offered on discount to clear.

T-mobile appear to be absent of Omnia 7's too ?
The reason I looked is that I ordered one earlier in the week for my father, he had play with mine before saying get one to replace his wm6.2
colleague wants a cheap smart phone again I showed him mine & said look for a Omnia 7 on T-mobile or three, from £15 the three deal comes with .5 GB of data
I got a report that the phones ain't there.
Orange don't have an Omnia just a Mozart

[Q] Samsung Omnia 7 Mango Update in UK

Hi,
I have a locked Omnia 7 on Orange. I have an OS version of 7392. I was expecting to get the mango update but still Zune says my phone is up to date.
Has anyone in the UK received Mango for their Omnia 7 on the Orange network?
Thanks for your help
Graham

Yeh - Both me and my sister got it on Orange about 2 weeks ago. It's random though as far as i can tell wheteher you are in the early rounds or not. Even if your carrier has approved it.

Thanks.
Do you know how long i should be waiting for the update?

Hmm i'm not sure, there is this on the windows phone blog...
"For example, we're working with Orange in Europe to resolve a couple technical issues that are temporarily preventing us from delivering updates at full throttle to all its Windows Phone customers. "
