Has anybody successfully installed and used the Blackberry connect software on the hw6515? The IT folks at my work only support the Blackberry email...
Thanks

They never released a stand alone product for general pocket pc installs. For some reason they stop developing Blackberry connect after a weak launch a couple years ago. (not sure what happened) I think most people use the built in exchange active sync, or use GoodLink these days.

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.
Hi
I've been trying to get a good msn setup, and I'm not from the US so I can't use the built in stuff. I use auto reconnect (and I'm addicted to it, I'm on 8 different networks) on my main computer, so any client that requires me to be online at only one point is uninteresting.
Right now I got a jabber server setup, that I connect to with jabiru. That way I can be connected both on the computer and on the cellphone. It works decently, although the android client is less reliable than I'd like.
I've know that you can use a jabber server to connect to gtalk and get all your contacts in gtalk, has anyone gotten this to work reliably? I've tried setting up my own server, and that worked fine, I can "register" my msn through my gtalk account, it just never shows up and does anything after that point.
Or are there any good msn clients/proxy solutions that'll allow me to be connected from two places at once? I've heard that newer msn's protocol versions allow it, however I don't use windows and I haven't in years, so I'm not on the latest protocol.
Is it possible to connect the Android in a similar way to WM's Activesync and use the PCs broadband connection to download stuff from the marketplace or just to download emails to the device etc?

well gmail already automatically syncs whether it's attached with a usb port or not to a computer. HTC Sync is available although I haven't tried it myself. You can find it on Rogers ROMS, most hero ROM cookers have removed it on their hero ROM.

the main reason i want to use the PCs broadband is because i dont have a data plan (i don't see the point of paying for data twice!)
i will have a look at HTC sync, thanks for the tip

You're welcome I think there's a reverse tethering application or modification that you can use to tether your computer's connection to your phone but I'm not sure about it.
Im interested also that would be helpful to be able to connect it to my pc and use its internet since all i have is edge and not 3g in my area!
Just get a cheap wireless router, they are on ebay for under $10.
Connect WiFi cleanly and not deal with tethering and software.
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?
