WM2005 & Blackberry Connect ? ? ? - General Topics

Does anyone know or heard if there are any plans to release a Blackberry client for the new Windows Mobile 2005 devices?

Yes, the client is being tested by various operators such as O2 and T-Mobile. If and when the operators decide that it will be or remain a viable business solution, they might release it in the next rom upgrade.
Remember however that operators might just decide to drop BB Connect in favour of Exchange push, that also shoul be available shortly.
To reassure you, I *did* see a working demo copy on a Universal type device. I also am in eager anticipation.

Need Verizon "Wireless Sync" CAB from xv6700

Hey All,
Doing some hacking here...
My company only supports Verizon phones connecting to out Intellisync environment for access to our Exchange environment. Well I'm a Cingular user and don't want to switch. I've gotten a co-worker to grab the Verizon Wireless Sync software from the Verizon web page (rebranded Intellisync product) for me but it's only the WM2003 version. This version does actually work well, but I'm looking for WM5 perfection!
For all their WM5 phones the web site says "included in your phone" so what I was hoping for is that some nice soul with either a Samsung i830 (I know wrong forum) or a xv6700 (Apache) might be able to extract out the Wireless Sync CAB file and post it or shoot me a link or PM.
If not does anybody know where to get the latest WM5 version of Verizon's Wireless Sync product or maybe the Intellisync counterpart?
Any help appreciated - there's got to be more than one way to skin a corporate email system.
Thanks,
-JMS
You can find it here...
I posted the cab installer in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43555
It will give you what you need - and is the full client, not the cripled one VZW offers. Use it on my 8125 and other WM5 devices...even those that talk to the VZW wireless sync server.
If you have the VZW client installed you should uninstall before installing this one.

Wow, once again the folks on this board are awesome.
Thanks so much, I'll give it a whirl, I really appreciate the help!
-JMS
Hey chybinj,
That worked beautifully, much smaller and better designed for WM5 than that older sync client I had.
Thanks again for your quick help.
-JMS
My pleasure...glad to help - I know my head hurt from all the whacks on my desk casued by previous versions. :wink:
If I get a newer version I will repost...may get an upgrade our server in a few weeks.

Looking for someone,who got Splashblog working

Hi,
I'd like to get Splashblog, which I think is the only photoblogger for the smartphone platform working on my Qtek 8300 (Tornado).
The software is designed for WM5 but when I try to connect to the network I get a connection error immediately.
I can only guess that it either results of a localization problem or the AKU2 firmware uses a different way to setup connectivity (don't know if the software has been tested on WM5 AKU2).
So I'd like to ask anyone having a Tornado and the AKU2 firmware, maybe also a non-WWE (i.e. localized firmware) to share his experience with me or maybe trying out now this software and check if he can get connectivity.
I'd really like to use my Smartphone for mobile photoblogging, but it doesn't work out for me currently and no idea why.
Also in case more of you find it doesn't we could approach the manufacturer and ask for a fix (did already, they said it should work).
Btw: of course I have network connection (GPRS and EDGE) and using it with the IE works flawlessly.
Could anyone give me feedback on his findings with a Tornado please ???
Thanks so much!
Regards

P.S.
The same company also offers TypePad, which is not free, but I get same error message for the trial version :-(

Where is BB Connect

I cant count the number of times I have read the new release about HTC supporting BB Connect on the S710...but i just got mine and no sign...
Tried the BB Connect that works on my Dash but not luck...PIN Pending.
RD
Whenever I hit "register now" it just goes to the homescreen really wanna get this working....
Same problem
Ciao.
I'm from Italy and I have same problem. No way to get BB Connect work on my HTC S710.
I can't find the PIN to activate it. Infact when I install the BB the phone try to connect but don'f find the PIN and stop the connection (as you told back in home page!!).
I tried to contact HTC customer service and they told me that HTC and RIM maybe will support BB Connect just with Carriers (i.e. TIM or VODAFONE in ITaly, ORANGE in France and UK, etc..). But why a lot of peaple can use BB connect with the carriers they wont and me no???? As you can see, also DOPOD ASIA support BBconnect in HTC devices!! So let's try together to find a way !!!
I really believe in this.
Thank you to everybody.
Davide.
I am guessing we are all using the BB Connect client from the s620... I think we need a new client for the S710
We will likely have to wait, just like last time
until it gets released by Dopod. They seem to get the BB Connect clients out first, and I have never seen a BB Connect client that wasn't model specific, so it will have to be a Vox variant to work on the Vox most likely. Start sniffing and asking around on Dopod boards, at least then they will know we are looking....
There will be a BBC client for the vox. This will be bbc v4, watch this space (or the ftp )

Do you have it?
I am dying for BB Connect too, if it's 4.0 that would be awesome!!! I will ditch my dash when that comes out...
Not yet but I will do soon.
There is a full WM6 version waiting in the wings, lets hope it appears soon.
Here you are
It works great in HTC S710 spanish. Good luck.

I have downloaded, the bb connect and notice that it is meant for the windows 5 platform. Although it works on the dash, i dunno whether it will work on the vox as the vox is wm 6. This is my observation from having the hermes where if the hermes is flasg to wm6 the BB connect 4 meant for WM5 doesnot work unless there is some ehex editing on the device to make it look like WM6. Any useH anybody git it to connect on the vox yet.
i am also about to rush out and buy the Vox and just want to confirm this detail before doing so, any body tried it yet?
Just got the stuff,its a dopod C500 and i can safely say that it is working and receiving email. Thank you and apology for doubting the earlier post. All i can say is yippee
I read the XML in the cab, and it says this will work for all WM 5.x versions
This applies to Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 (internal version is 5.2). So, I know this works on my Vox(Win Mobile 6), as I am downloading emails just fine with it now, but does it work on the Dash/S620, etc as well? If it does, what versions does it work on? Just Windows Mobile 6, or also Windows Mobile 5? It should work on both. Now the next question, does it work on other devices like the Samsung BlackJack(Windows Mobile 5)? This would make this the closest we have seen to a universal Blackberry Connect client! One can hope, right?
work fine also in italy by tim
is the best many thanks tp DAVIDE......
It doesn't work on Samsung i600. There is an error when installing.
I may soond noob for this one ... but

BBConnect

Question might be better fared here...
Allegedly, my employer does not support BBConnect, only Blackberry Only devices.
If I was to run BBConnect on the HTCFuze - would it work? I'm not familiar with the BES interface and settings... so I figured you all may be a bit more knowledgeable on this.
Any help is appreciated...
As a BES admin i can say that the BES does support BBConnect but it is quite possible that this functionality has been disabled at the BES itself.
For it to work, and i am assuming that you are looking for full two way synch of mail/calendar/address book, then you are going to need the co-operation of the BES admin. If he says no dice then i am afraid it is no dice.
Also BBC is never going to give you the full BB experience, i had two BBC users, one of whose handsets broke and after two days with a real BB he said to not bother replacing the dead handset.
Are the company going to be paying for any part of this?
Thanks for the responce...
They are not paying or any part of this- as I'm a 3rd party consultant. I've previously used my blackberry that has since died. I'd assume the information I got was their general dismallal of useage of the blackberry connect.
All I really need is my mail useability on a WM6 platform- so I can utilize the phone for my consulatant company needs, as well as my employer (blackberry) needs right now. This would mean a WM6 platform letting meuse webmail- and a secure BBconnect app on the WM6 to let me just check my mail- thats all I need from the BES.
Im just trying to avoid carrying 2 phones with me... that's really all. I'm not trying to compromise security- they are interfering with my productivity!
do they allow OWA access to your email? if so look at setting it up as a BIS connection. never done it and we don't run Exchange so it's not an option for us but it may do what you want without impacting anything else.

sending a fax through windows mobile phone

does anyone know a way i could either directly on the phone or tethered through the computer send pdf as a fax through the cell network
thanks
i would be interested in this also
I have not seen any option on my standard roms or the custom built ROMs here..
Maybe we will have to wait ....
in my time here I've come across apps which did it but forum search is no good with 3 letter words
but wait is not likely to be the correct approach as these programs been here since wm2002
and fax being an old moldy tech fewer and fewer people want to get near would likely result in a smaller and smaller demand and supply and demand well you know
In WM 2003 fax programs did work.
But since the introduction of WM5 it never worked again..
Why that is, I never fully understood, I personally think that it would still be possible to send a fax signal through instead of voice, but my simplification is probably erroneous otherwise there would have been fax-software for the newer generations WinMo.
(I WOULD welcome a fax program, because that would make some of my work a lot easier).

EquinoXe
This belongs in the Q&A section
thank you
