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.

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!!

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.

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.
Where can I find for download the Blackberry Connect Client for WM ?
I know only about the dopod Asia website, but when I register it says there is no valid SN. I have a SN with GB which is for Europe.
Thank you very much in advance!

And also a link for the Desktop Manager ?
Thank you!
I installed Blackberry Connect. I am using it with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.
But I see in order to have the BB icon, the GPRS is always attached. Should it work like this ? I know/knew that with Blackberry phones it attaches to GPRS only when incoming email is coming, and only with Microsoft Directpush technology it stays attached all the time.
If it works like this ( Always On ), is there a difference between BB Connect for WM, and Outlook with Microsoft Direct Push ?
Yours,
Alex
Is BB Connect sensitive to AKU registry key.
I mean I used .0.4.2 sofar but I saw also that there are 0.4.4 or even 0.5.0 values ?
Does this values matter for BB Connect for Windows Mobile ?
Thx!

Yes, for the Tilt the best bet is to stick with what the provider is currently offering. 0.4.2 & 0.4.4 both work. 0.5.0 may work as I believe there is a valid hermes AKU, but never trid that one.

My blackberry is always connected to data...
If I reflash my Kaiser, and I reinstall Blackberry connect for WM.
After Installation how can I get the Enterprise Email box set-up ?
From the Activation Tab ?
I encounter issues with this:
- If I reinstall it, it connect as BlackBerry Internet Service ( I can see no more than 5 Services ).
- Right after I do activation, with a new password for BES email box activation, I get the new service, and short time after it says Services Received, the connection drops. If I do soft-reset it just connects than drops
I am using Blackberry Enterprise not Blackberry Internet Service.
THis was just released a few days ago.. i dont use BB connect so i cant comment about it.. but here it is!
would you be able to give me the exact location where you got this? I wanted to read up on the new blackberry connect for att....possibly HTC.
thanks
this came directly from an ATT inside source, it hasnt been posted to the public yet!

I guess I can't just add the BB part just for the email to my att tilt. The only thing that stinks witht he Blackberry connect is, you can't use some of the cingular video when using it. It is nice thou. Is there any special settings or anything when you installed it? With Duttys release? By the way, where did you get the 16GB SDHC card!! I want one :-D Brand?
? ?
i have a few questions about this app. ive never used a black berry vbefore so here goes
do i have to add the black berry connect for this app to work? the 39.99 montly fee
or do all i need is a internet connection?
and does this include the black berry connet?

I'm not sure how the plan works from AT&T as I use the BB connect with Tmobile.
About the SDHC card, it's not micro but regular SD(HC) and for my Universal and I believe I got it from newegg.
Has this version fixed the annoying problem 4.0.0.92 has of waking a sleeping device upon receiving an email?
To use the software on AT&T you have to switch to the blackberry data plan or else the traffic will be dropped.
Note: They'll drop your SMS plan off when they sign you up for the blackberry data plan (for some stupid reason, they think if you have blackberry you don't text anymore?). You'll have to make sure to add some type of messaging back onto your line or you won't even receive any messages. (at least i never got them until i put messaging back on mine)

That's not a default setting there...
but some reps will screw it up...
I just added MediaNet Unlimited and 1500 messages/month to my plan.. Checked the next day, I had... No data plan, 1500 messages.... i called them up.. they removed my messaging package, but still didnt give me data
Luckily I'm a dealer, so just went in and added the crap myself, but kinda funny how I asked for 2 things and they didn't give me either after 2 phone calls...
Then again, Maybe they hate me for having a Tilt on MediaNet... Though that IS all the internet i use on the tilt anyway, so they can suck it up ;-)

I've used the previous version before. The latest WM 6.1 and well asl Sleuth's et al all now allow dual connection to Blackberry channel and the Media net simultaneously. If you have blackberry plan give it a try.

I am on 4.0.0.97 and I have this issue. I get a lot of emails and when the device wakes up with the screen on full ... I know my battery wears down a lot because of bb traffic. I'd really like the device's screen to say asleep when I get email, my device's battery life would double or triple.

I haven't touched any settings and when the emails come in, if the device is on sleep mode, it doesn't wake the device up. Have you played around with your settings to see if that helps?
I was using the 4.0.0.97 until Shogunmark posted this one.
maybe it's a ROM issue, which setting? I have mine set to make sound ...
Dumb question do i need to change the aku for this version if im using WM 6.1 like i did for the .97 version?

I haven't had to change the AKU on the latest ROMs, including the Diamond hybrids, when using this .100 build.
For a while, the .97 didn't have to change the AKUs either, so I believe they add support for higher revisions in each release.
Yep,

Hi dude's,
My questions is quit simple.
I have gsm from my work. Thats great, no cost in mobile calling...
But, i dont have acces to a datanetwork (it is not supported by my abbo.)
Now some employees have a blackberry. I can try to get a BB to. But then i want to put that abbo/simcard into my Fuze...
But does that work?
1 Do i have dataconnection on my HTC then? So can i then use opera/google maps/ youtube then?
2 Does BBC works on my HTC, like synchronise mail and calendar.
3 if 2 is yes, where can i get the right BBC version for my energy rom 1.6.x
All this because i cant get away with it (on my workt) just to say that i only needed the datanetwork...

If you're going to ge taking the SIM out of the BB and replacing it in your Fuze, then you will have no problems at all with a data connection. Assuming you have AT&T, then this is the only difference (I picked a customer service rep's brain):
AT&T needs to know that your phone is a BB so that it can get e-mail.
AT&T only needs to know your Fuze is a smartphone so they can charge you a huge amount of money...
BB connect & Data plans are the same $$$
To sum it up: When you place the SIM in you Fuze, AT&T will still think you are using a BB, but don't worry. You won't be limiting your features. You would only limit features on a BB by not having BB connect. It doesn't work the other way around
Hope this helps
Oke, thx for the quick reply.
But i wonder, i do have the dataconnection then. But can i also recive emails from my work then? And sync my work-agenda over the air? Or is that one of the BB features you mentioned?
And is that where BBC comes in?
