I am wondering if their are any free applications that will allow me to download my groupwise email from work. I need to be up to date with my email every min and I cant access my email via my mobile because we use GroupWise. I cant find any software that allows me to do this and I dont want to switch to a blackberry because I love my Wizard.
Their are apps avaible but I dont want to pay $50 for them.
Definietly worth asking, but $50 doesn't seem like a lot if you have to have access to email like that and it will work for you. Definetly cheaper than switching to a blackberry.
Yeah I know $50 is not much but their has to be a free one out their.
I might have the switch to blackberry anyway because I work in IT and are server alerts are sent out to blackberry devices only.
Well just found out Novell has a groupwise mobile application but it will not do me any good. Since we are a blackberry mobile network we dont have support for groupwise mobile so it looks like im going to have to wait 3 months for us to finish implimenting are Exchange network or just get a blackberry
BlackBerry Connect?
It looks like BB Connect can be made to work on the Wizard:

Is it me or does the OZ IM client that comes with the AT&T Tilt not work right when you talk to other people?
My friend has the real AIM client on his Mogul and I tried to chat with him via OZ IM and all he sees is blank messages.
I tried Agile and it works great. I have to buy it though, so...I tried the AIM client (from the UK site) and it works too, but it's crap because the notifications are bad and it seems like an old program.
Any ideas?
its bc Oz IM uses text messaging instead of data and the mobile version of aim doesnt support text messaging.
Which IM service you using? MSN, AIM? I don't use AIM or Yahoo, but I do use MSN form time to time. Windows Live works just fine for that, and uses data, not SMS.
I wanted to use AIM. I have an unlimited data plan and that's the reason I wanted to use data instead of SMS. Any way to make this client work? Don't want to buy Agile.

Yup, dont use the OZ client. Download Palringo or Octrotalk.. Both free. both will work with AIM and all the other clients and use data.

Thanks. I gave the Palgrino app a try, which one do you recommend?
Works!!
Palgrino is working for me. its quick and stays connected even when minimized.
I use Slick. It works really well and uses data.
Hi:
Do any of these have smilies?
I just installed Palringo, and it looks very nice, but no smilies.
Thanks!
PS: I don't mind paying for it, if it has a nice enough interface, and smilies. Palringo looks amazing, it's exactly what I am looking for except for the smilies.
Beejive had it on my blackberry untill i got the tilt. works like a charm for me and it shows notifications and smilies and supports all clients
http://www.beejive.com/wm6/index.php
The problem in my eyes with the applications that use DATA connections instead of SMS, is that while logged in, now my Tilt has to maintain a live data connection with the network.
What I like about an SMS version is that no matter where I am, 3G, Edge, it just works over SMS. True it's not as "responsive" as a data connection, but it's mobile IM. What do you expect?
On that note, since I'm running aftermarket cooked ROM, does anyone have the OZ IM client that the tilt shipped with available?
I have the Tilt and I was wondering is their anyway I can have both Media Net and Balckberry running at the same time? Everytime i am messages or browser the web my bb disconnects. Any way around this?
No, the Tilt can only connect to one APN at a time. MediaNet or blackberry.net
eh? so if i were to use ONLY the bb connect service for email, i'll get disconnected from browsing etc every time an email gets pushed out to me?
another question. i'm currently pulling down 4 pop3 accounts into their individual email "folders" on my tilt via default pocket outlook polling setup. can blackberry connect do the same with regards to different "folders" / account?
eg: shove different account emails to their respective outlook folders vs all in one bucket?
i had a 7200 series blackberry *years* ago using bb internet service and regardless of how many accounts you pulled down it all got dumped into the same bucket so to speak. there was no easy way to differentiate between biz critical vs personal emails at a glance.
?? so far i havent been able to find any helpful info re bb connect online yet.

No, it's the other way around. Whenever something else grabs the data link, BBConnect goes into suspend mode and will reconnect when it's released.

I creates a separate folder for each e-mail acount. As far as I know, that's the only way it will do it.
how does it work Blackberry connect on the Kaiser ?
Do we need to install the Blackberry software ? (Blackberry connect 4).
Can we then browser the internet if my company pay for it ? (I had Blackberry connect 2 installed on an HTC Universal, I could read my emails and sync Calendar/notes/tasks but I never could browser the internet ...I never could make Black Connect 4 working on my Universal, so I don't know if I would be able to browser the internet with it).
Thanks a lot

There are a number of threads of people posting their experience with BBC on the Kaiser. Browsing works, with some limitations. But also, its possible that your company's policies can restrict some BB functionality. It all depends on the config and the plans you have. But ultimately, you canbrowse the internet, you can get your email pushed to you. The biggest issue is the data connection issue described in the last couple posts. If you want more info. Search this forum for blackberry and you will find alot of testimonial expeirence in getting it set up and using it.
Personally, I found it to be too slow, too much of a memory and battery hog. I removed it within 2 days of installing it. And the difference in performance on the Kaiser and its battery is night and day IMO.
I use Seven's beta software now for my email pushing.
Thanks a lot for your infos !
I've been running it for a little more than a week.
Cons: I noticed that sometimes my appointments don't update on the Tilt when I move it on my desktop OL calender. You need to keep as few programs running as possible or it slows the device and the battery life isn't good. I like the BB keypad better. The Tilt wakes up with the screen dim and outside it is a real problem. I've had it lock up a few times and go so slow I needed to reset.
Pros: Best of WM and BB. The BB has a poor PIM so using PocketInformant again is very nice. 3G for browsing. The disconnect-reconnect is automatic so it isn't a problem for me.
I haven't made up my mind if I going to go back to my 8800. If I wasn't using BES (corporate email) I wouldn't use the BB but that isn't my choice.
Regards-Michael G.

Yes, you need to install BBConnect. You want BBConnect 4. I understand that HTC makes it available on their website for Kaiser. I got mine through AT&T on a Tilt, so it was a little different. One quirk, if you got your Kaiser in North America, you have to figure out if it came from Europe or Asia to register on the HTC site. One of the major improvements in BBConnect 4 is it will suspend the blackberry connection if you access the internet using a non-blackberry browser.
You can browse the internet one of two ways. When you install the blackberry software, it also installs the blackberry browser. It will be in the blackberry folder in the programs folder. This goes through your company's system to the internet. This won't interrupt your e-mail, but the blackberry browser is rather weak.
The other way is through any other browser. However, you have to have the APN for your provider programmed in. Your provider's web site will probably have that information. Unlimited data usually comes with a blackberry data plan. So, if you can get your company to pay for a plan, that should get you internet access, even if you don't go through your company's BES system.

That's true. You have to be careful to avoid programs that suspend bbconnect constantly.

Yes. It's running on my Tilt.
Regardless of where your Kaiser or Tilt came from, you can follow these links to the software needed to install it, if you want it.

You need 2 pieces (get one from each link above):
1. You need the Blackberry Connect software that installs on your Kaiser/Tilt. It's a .cab file. (first link above)
2. You need the Blackberry Connect for Windows Desktop software that installs on your PC. It's a .exe file. (second link above, halfway down the page)
There's also a help file at the bottom of the second link.

I have T-Mobile, with no data plan and can't use AIM through them. I tried IM+ but it doesn't seem to work. Any thing else I can try?
Thanks, Ed
not sure of the program but
anything internet related works just fine for me
when i in
settings>connections>connections>advanced>pick network
pick my network setting or what ever the name the non my isp setting
have on your device
I tried setting it up, but the T-Mobile rep told me that I can't get onto T-zones or IM without having a data plan.
Oh your trying to use wifi hotspots that requires you to pay! If you use free wifi, than im+ would connect right away.
I'm using my Wifi at home right now. I think I have a problem with IM+ thats why I'm asking if theres another way to get AIM.
Try Agile...
http://anonym.to/?http://rapidshare.com/files/57054171/agile_messenger_ppc.CAB.html
get Slick Instant messenger
I tried agile, but it told me my username/password is incorrect:/
Same thing as with IM+, weird
get Slick.
I use Palringo.

Do you have any links for this program?
ive tried a lot of AIM programs and all of them are trials or doesnt work well. (Aglile, slick, IM+)
Use Octrotalk.. Its Free and Works with WIFI and it's EASY to use.
http://www.octro.com/
**I only want to use AOL. Why do I need Google account?
Ans: Now you can do without a Google account. In the Login Information screen of OctroTalk, select Register new octro.net account. Enter your username and password and select Ok. Now you are all set to use AOL account. Go to Menu -> Legacy Accounts and configure your AOL account.

No IM via WiFi !?!
Yea, what's up with that! My 8525 did MSN just fine with no data plan. WiFi worked great. Now i get into this 8925, and none if the IMs work unless I get a data plan. AT&T conspiracy? It's all about the money, right?
use the aim 2.0 its the best..
I have the vodafone branded model so no exchange support out of the box. Can anyone recommend a good app I can install? I'm testing out the touchdown demo and while it seems good, I don't fancy paying $25 for it. Also, although the demo is fully enabled for 5 days, it doesn't seem to work with push as it says not able to find activesync or something like that.
Tried Roadsync and switched to Touchdown. Supports calendar and tasks, has homescreen widget(!), allows sync time settings and more. Great support and updates, check out their google group! It's worth the money if you need exchange support.
For setting up: follow their manual on the homepage and it should work. Most trouble comes from incorrect settings, e.g. you forgot the domain. I did so
You're 100% right about touchdown. Double checked the settings and although the domain was listed, it now it works after I changed my username from 'username' to 'domain\username'
I guess I'll pay the $25 if no other free & reliable application is around
Same happened to me
It clicked when you mentioned it as I had trouble signing into my office webmail once, and IT said I should try that format for the username
Do like me, root the phone and install orig htc rom Stupid that us vodafone users cant get free exchange app etc, like we really was promised
Root? I'm afraid that doesn't tell me much ;-)
Any guides as to how I can do that?
Hello,
I love my Nexus. Now I got a blackberry from my work to have instant access to my emails.
Because I don't want to use the Blackberry and to keep my Nexus I need to get the same email function as the Blackberry.
Do you know if this is possible? I am no expert in things like this and it would be great if you can point me into the right direction.
My mobile contract has an internet flat and - I think so - a BB-option. AS Email-Client I am using Outlook.
Thanks for your help.

Your company probably uses a Blackberry Enterprise Server which allows emails to be delivered to the blackberry.
The email environment you use uses Activesync to deliver emails to windows mobile/activesync enabled phones such as Android. The BES and Activesync protocols are not compatible.
You should contact your exchange server administrator to see if activesync is allowed to be used within the company. More often than not, if they gave you a blackberry, activesync is probably disabled.
