With all of the concerns over electronic devices and air travel, I'm starting to consider a blackberry device. However, I love my Cingular 8125. I've read in other forums that it's feasible to get blackberry software to run on a Wizard. It would be great if a ROM could be developed for Cingular that allows for the use of Blackberry software.
Still no way to run Blackberry on an 8125 - But here's a question - Are you already getting email on your 8125 (e.g., with Direct Push)? If so, how would having a Blackberry client help??
I need the blackberry for work. Otherwise, I would use the push e-mail solutions that exist out there.
There is a separate post on this (Blackberry Connect on Wizard).
It should work now (both AKU1 and AKU 2 roms)
I was able to install the Vodaphone Blackberry software using my existing Cingular ROM. I had failed before using the T-Mobile Blackberry software. Now all I have to do is get it configured to work. One step at a time.
If you install the proper rom and BB Connect client, you can get the BB Connect to work on the 8125, but not using Cingular as a carrier, only T-Mobile since supposedly the gateway is hard-coded in the client to point to T-Mobile.

You do not have to change to T-Mo. BB connect on 8125 should work with Cingular network. I just installed BB Connect 2.1.2.16 onto my 8125 with 2.17 ROM, simply put official Cingular SIM with unlimited BB plan, and it immediately started receiving BB mails. I only tried BIS but not BES, though.
I'm still waiting to get my e-mail account set up on our corporate blackberry system to try this out on my 8125. All of the preliminary installation and setup work seems to have worked so far, but until I get this turned on I won't be able to validate this. The reason that I originally posted this was that I couldn't even get the software to install when I tried the T-mobile version. After checking out the blackberry message on the Wizard forum, I found the link to the Vodaphone software and it installed the first time.

Hey guys
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with getting a d810 to sync up with osx? I have tried the latest missing sync demo but it doesn't seem to support the d810 (looks like it supports the 838). I have tried searching the forums with no luck.
Cheers

If the d810 is similar (which it is) to the htc trinity then it works quite well with missing sync for wm 3. It will install a small cab file called missing sync and it works flawlessly with address book and ical. It even syncs the pictures in address book. It worked on the first try. BUT (this might be your problem) some roms, if I remember correctly the old dopod rom with gps had a problem syncing. The solution I found is to go to Settings>Connections>USB to PC and check or uncheck (do a trial and error coz I forgot) "Enable advaced network functionality".
Thanks for the reply Aero. I'm currently at work and have been trying to do this through bluetooth with my macbook. I will try with the usb cable when I get home and hopefully it might work.....
Semir
yep...uncheck the option referred in the previous post. I have synced my XDA Orbit, MDA Vario and HTC p3600 no probs with Missing Sync for WM on my home imac. I always, however, do it via the usb cable from the phone direct to imac usb socket and not via a charge and sync cradle
I havea HTC 3600 and i use Missing sync and it work great!!
I finally managed to get it working with missing sync 3.02, even over bluetooth. Thanks for all the suggestions people.
Don't upgrade to WM6 coz current missing sync does not support WM6. Hope they get off their #$$ and fix it already.

I've never used a Blackberry before. Is there an advantage to using this instead of the usual Windows Mobile methods for email? Would this allow me to have push email if my company doesn't have an exchange server?

At least the name, AT&T Tilt, is now 100% confirmed!!!
Gr8 to see that my next phone also supports Blackberry Connect. I am using it on my Wizard for some months and id rather not live without it.
Basically BBC has similar functionality as WM Push-email. BBC is of most use when your company has chosen for Blackberry instead of MS Exchange push technology.
Im wondering what the advantages of BBC 4 are as compared to the old version 2 (afaik there is no BBC version 3)
I'd be interested in hearing if people have an opinion of a BB server vs. Goodlink on this device. My company has both. Thanks
BB Connect vs GoodLink on Kaiser

I am using GoodLink on my kaiser and it is HORRIBLE!! For the past few ROMs, GoodLink has all but crippled my device when i am composing or replying-to a message. It is real jerky when typing and sometimes the device briefly locks up.
I have been told that Version 5 of GoodLink works better on WM6 & this device but I can't get my hands on it because it has not been certified in our production environment. (The lab guys use Exchange Push and i am trying to get my mailbox moved there.)
I am about to pull down BB Connect and give it a go until I can get on the Exchange Push servers. The drawback to BB Connect is that only Mail & Calendar are sync'd wirelessly. Notes, Contacts, Tasks have to be sync'd manually though the BB Desktop Mgr.
im waititng for my kaiser. I have been a longtime user of Goodlink on Palm treos- i think Goodlink is significantly better than any other mail app out there. I contacted Good regarding support for WM6 and Kaiser. they said that Good 5 supports WM6 but the kaiser is not listed as a supported device (yet?).
After my experiences of Good on a WM Treo750 (disasterous) i will stick with the WM mail / contacts apps for now.
Q for the person who put good on his / her kaiser: did contacts searching etc still work properly?
BB4 syncs contacts tasks 7 notes
Hello I would be interesyed in hearing if the BB connect version from for the tilt works on the HTC branded kaiser.
I have headr that with blackberry connect 4 you can now sync email,calendar,contacts, and tasks wirelessly AND use the MDS service even for the pocket explorer, google maps, etc.
Since I couldn't get bbc to work on my universal, if this works on the kaiser I will give it a go... I certainly would drop my 8800 blackberry for the kaiser.
thanks
Vinny
I have now installed Good on the Kaiser and it worked perfectly. Exactly like on the Hermes. We are running v4.9.3.21_EN

One of the nices things about BB 4 is that now you can connect to the internet through the MDS service, without having to disconnect from the blackberry connection to go to your ISP connection. It also supports wireless activation as well as better security policies among other things.
Ha one of the lucky kaiser owners actually tested this? I would like to know if this will also work on the HTC branded Kaiser or just on the AT&T Tilt.
thanks!!
Vinny
Can someone educate me on the difference between Blackberry Enterprise Service and Activesync? Why would one choose the BES over Activesync. I believe they both are push email services with syncing of calendar, contacts, and notes as well. What are the benefits or are they exactly the same except for personal preferences?
I have just installed it on the HTC TyTN II. I am using FIDO in Canada which uses BB Connect and it works very well.
Thanks,
my company uses Good and a BB server. I got BBC to install on the Tytn II but I switched back to Good within a few days. BBC on a Pocket PC is not great. It slows the device down terribly. Also Good synched much faster. The attachment handling is bad and very limiting. I think Good 5.0 due out this month should be even better. Just my 2 cents.
Thx a lot it works fine in T-Mob Hungary with Tytn II. saved my new tool you did!
Hello I've installed the BB Connect software and got a pin, I also get connection to the network and a IP Address, but whenever I try to activate i get errors, if I do it via USB I get a success message but my BBC destop says PIN unknown, the I tried to do a wireless activation ang got a an error saying that I should contact my administrator.
Can this have something to do with the Enterprise server? supposedly my company doesn't support BBC devices, is there a way they can know this is not a BB?
I'm in MExico using Telcel carrier.
Thanks!!
Works for me too
Tytn 2 (from orange uk - on orange uk) running bbconnect 4.0.84 against my works bes
used the desktop config tool once installed (unconnected to pc - see below) and all fine
*note
If you install bbconnect when attached to your pc it hangs and doesn't install properly so you have to remove / reinstall
Installed BB Connect yesterday on an AT&T Tilt. Account is on the company BES server. Working well so far.

This sounds like the problem I had. It's related to the policies on your company's BES. I found the solution in the RIM knowledgebase:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/sear...Public&dialogID=31123659&stateId=0 0 31125133
Unfortunately, it requires action by a BES admin. I hope you can sweet talk an admin into doing it.
Wifi?
Can any of you using this confirm if it works or not via wifi?? Can you sync with the bes or bis with out a data connection only using wifi???
Thanks.
Jeff
so bb connect includes bb messenger? i cant find it, maybe im not seeing it correctly..
There is no blackberry messenger client in blackberry connect at this time.
Hi all
I installed the blackberry connect client 4.0.0.97 on my HTC Kaiser.
Everytime i do a soft-reset of my device all emails in the blackberry account are duplicated ...so i have all email 6 times and i am afraid of the next soft reset.
I disabled the blackberry connection and did a softreset...even then the emails were duplicated--so the problem comes from the device ...not from the online synchronization
HELP

Have you tried downloading the .100 version from shogunmark's thread? The .97 version seemed to have some issues.
Also, the software is still running in the background, even if you have it suspended. So it could still be the software causing it.
.100 hangs up the phone when I hit "OK" button inside email if I'm on a call. I'm going backwards first to .97 today or tomorrow I will let you know if I have problems. If I do I'm going to probably go to .84
Are you syncing mail with Activesync too???
That version works fine for me.
No I am not using active sync as all emails, contact, task, calendar, notes...
where can i download the vesion .100 ? ?
Hi All,
I have a Kaiser ROM 1.56.405.5 and Radio 1.27.16.21
I installed the BB Connect delivered on CD and checked ... it is the latest version.
I installed the BBC Desktop on PC and also checked .. it is the latest version.
My mobile operator has already activated my SIM card for BB and it is working because I have the service always connected, I got a PIN and an IP address is always available.
Now, coming to the activation, I had my IT managers who make my email BB enabled and got a password (MS Exchange).
The Blackberry Entrepise Service is activated on the BBC and everything seems working.
As I was not able to activate my email with the given password, I read in several threads that we can do it through the PC with the BBC Desktop.
I did it and it worked .... miracle!
Sending and recieving emails when connected to the PC is perfectly working.
But sending and recieving emails when standalone through wireless is impossible. My email is visible and seems activated on Kaiser BBC.
Eventhough the radio tunnel seems to be connected and active (either on EDGE or 3G), no way to have it working normally.
Question 1:
Can my mobile operator be blocking the usage of HTC on the network in order to oblige buying a BB handset?
If yes, why do I have a Radio BB Connection always active?
Question 2:
Do I need for a while before getting my email "really" activated by BB?
Is it linked to the fact that I never succeed to use the password given by my IT people?
Question 3:
Is it possible that I need to configure my GPRS connection? I read somewhere that the APN could be different and sometimes we need to chaneg the registery keys. My understand was that this is needed for older versions of BBC.
I am just trying to understand whether I have to shoot on my IT people (they will not like it because of the policy: Nothing else that BB handsets!) or to shoot on my mobile operator who can also have the same policy.
Thanks for your help.

I have always had to use the blackberry desktop to provision a blackberry connect device for bes.
Check your settings and connections. You should have a connection for blackberry.
You also should have a blackberry icon at the bottom right of your home screen. Click this and check your blackberry settings such as identity (pin, imei, ip address), status (connected), email settings, services (some of the individual services have settings which you should check).
Hi
Yes everything you said is OK
What are the settings for the services?
I have no clue.
One of them is not running: IPPP for 5 click [IPPP] !!
Thx
Marko
Is your ROM a 6.1 ROM? I can't tell by just the numbers. If it is Change registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2)
Not sure why 6.1 does that but it worked for me.
Thanks to Dutty for the above instructions
my ROM ver is 1.56.405.5 Radio is 1.27.16.21
Register is OK
What should I do with the password given by my IT guys? I didn't use it.
THX
Marko
Hehe
Just found out that my ROM is WM 6.0 can it come from this ?
Thx
Marko
I used the BB Connect software on my pc, clicked configure handset and it did all the work for me, I didn't need to enter a password.
You might need to go into BB security and set a password for the handset.
Hi
I flashed a new ROM with 6.1 on my Kaiser.
BBC version .100
Radio is ok and got PIN
BBC Desktop configured my the balckberry services on Kaiser.
Even, sent and recieved email when connected to PC with BBC Desktop.
BUT ... when I am on wireles, no way to make it working.
Thx for your help.

Guys,
It was my provider. Now everything seems working even in roaming.
They put me on BIS and when I asked for BES, they proposed to me a new thing: BB Multinational.
Just be careful all, there is not only BIS and BES but also BB Multinational with some providers.
Cheers.
Marko
