I really want an 8525 from Cingular unlocked. My company is moving us all to blackberrys soon and I want to know, if they choose T-mobile or Cingular as carriers, can I still use an 8525 to push the emails as I would a blackberry? I know the 8525 can do this but they told me something along the lines of incompatibility with their server. Is there any information I need to provide about the setup my company has now to get the proper answer?

Just purchased this device on the advice from the shop that it performs push email. Of course, when I call Customer Services they deny this; SMS text messaging at best. Have I been sold a pup? :evil:
push-email? what would that be like? someone writes you a message and you get it instatly as with ICQ without your device checking emails every second?
AFAIK non of the comon email protocols incorporate such a thing. email is a asynchronous way of communication.
you might want to try msn messenger or any other IM instead.. but don't forget you have to be connected to the internet all the time (which of course is a must, if you want to use any ip-based service at all..)
even if your provider (and the phone) supported wap-push (as in WAP 2.0), you'd have to be connected..
AFAIK, SMS is usually the only "connectionless" push-messenger for mobile phones

It can have the Blackberry client installed on it, which is push email, but as far as I know, T-Mob only supply this for corporate users that have a Blackberry server, they don't do the desktop pop/imap client that runs on your PC from what I have been told.
ah, didn't know about that.... but i guess the blackberry has to either still be connected all the time to the internet or the service provider hast do add some new services on his side too?...
maybe your guy at the store mixed it up with the Motorola MPx, which according to a press release will have that feature (using the blackberry technology) ... and the MPx 220 or something like that should have it too..

I think I remember hearing somewhere that the latest version of MS Exchange can do push e-mail... it works something like the exchange server sends an sms when you get an e-mail and that causes the device (whether it's a XDAIIs or whatever else that is running WM) to connect and download the new e-mail.... never seen it working or anything tho so that could be rubbish...
Perhaps they were simply referring to POP3 through GPRS?? Or maybe just something that they once heard someone say and thought they could repeat to sound knowledgeable!!
Hey all,
I own a Wizard (8125), which I switched from a BB 8700c and then thought I had made a dear mistake.
But until recently, I found out that's not the case. DirectPush is a blessing. It works even better than when I had GoodLink! (and GLA is proprietary, and doesn't aggregate my existing e-mail accounts)
Are there any others who let go of their crackberry just like i did? I'd like to know!
8125 problems
I gave up the 7100g to be the crash test dummy for our company on the 8125.
So far it has been a disaster! I welcome any and all suggestions on configuration. I have SIM/CID unlocked, and have since changed from Summiter's 2.3 to the recently released Cingular 2.25 yesterday. I am in an outsourced corporate exchange 2003 sp2 environment (provider is usa.net).
They(usa.net) have assured me that my account is properly provisioned for Outlook Mobile Access. I have the correct server address, ssl checked, correct user name and password (obviously) and correct domain.
I was getting a message to correct my exchange server password, that has gone away. Now activesync begins synchronizing and then returns to the Comm Manager app with the activesync button disabled (activesync error code 0x80004004)
I have an opportunity to save the company $15 per month, per device if I can pull this off. That's a savings of over $30,000 this year alone!
Help Please!
You could try to setup a free account with mail2web.com and see if you can get that to work for you, If that does work you would be able to go back to your other provider with some confidence that the problem is on their end.
just a thought.
Mail2Web direct push works fine... no exchange
do I need a certificate installed on the 8125 for my OWA site (exchange.usa.net)?
Hi!
I picked up a used Treo 750v (on Vodafone) with a view to network-unlocking it to use with my exiting provider. However I think I've run up against a potential problem. Getting the Treo network-unlocked doesn't seem a issue, the codes are easy to come by for a small fee.
However on my XDA-Mini-S (Qtek 09100) which has never been locked to any network provider I'm able to specify server settings for Outlook mail, so for example I can use the excellent free push-email from mail2web.com which utilize MS Exchange servers.
I read somewhere that the Treo 750v is preconfigured with Vodafone server settings in this respect (yes, you can add additional POP3 and IMAP servers but not the ones typically used for MS Exchange servers in Outlook). Does anyone know if this is true and where I might hunt around on the Treo to try and find & edit these settings?
Many thanks all!
Steve
My 750v, did not come with any preset Exchange server, nor other e-mail settings. I purchased an unlocked 750V in the US, and i have changed server settings from Mail2web to Corporate servers without any issues.
ditto. i've got an unlocked vodafone 750 using push email from mail2web. you need to go into programs/ activesync to enter the server address etc.
Got it - thanks Mike.
I was initially mislead by a posting from an unlock-guy on eBay 'my service will unlock you from the network but not the preconfigured Vodafone e-mail & server settings'. Which I thought was a little odd but nothing mobile operators do surprises me hugely!
On the subject of unlocking - these guys worked fine for me and weren't the eBay people mentioned above. £11.99 UK.

Before anybody replies that I should be posting this question in a Blackberry forum, let me state that, as far as Blackberry users know (or care), RIM discontinued support on BB Connect, so us WM users are on our own (as usual).
I own a TP2 which is currently using Blackberry Connect with a Blackberry plan (inherited from my previous phone) with two e-mail accounts configured via BIS (not BES). E-mail push works just fine, as it would on any regular Blackberry device. Needless to say that the TP2 accquired a PIN# when it connected to the Blackberry e-mail service.
Now, if I have a BB plan and a PIN# what else do I need to get Blackberry messenger to work? Blackberry messenger is a Java application, so, in theory, it should be possible to run it (or an adapted version of it) on any WM device... Thoughts anyone? Maybe a Java programmer could enlighten us as to what is the missing piece and confirm if it is feasable at all.
Moved as not software release....

A bit of insight I personally have a cliq 2 on tmobile and heard that verizon is suppose to also have it and the phone features corporate email settings as standard option and also the marketing on the phone is a bit cooperate wise never used it myself cause I don't have cooperate mail but might check on it to see how it works
Sent from my MB611 (Cliq 2)
When you say Corporate Email are u refering to an Exchange ActiveSync account? If so, as long as you have a data package (which you must have because they won't sell you the phone with one) you can configure the phone ti Sync with your Company's Exchange Server.
Hope that helps.
