Please don't flame me for asking about this - I know there are threads all over the place about BB, but they seem to be about getting it to work on specific devices =/
I have an O2 UK contract, with Blackberry Connect Unlimited. - Does this mean I can use the BB service to sync with a MS Exchange server (via push) and browse the web, through a blackberry connection and not incur further data charges?
Any help would really be appreciated,
Thanks
Pretty please??

Hey guys.....
I read in another post that https is supported by the xdaII but it didnt say whether it was through GPRS.
The reason I ask .... I have to purchase 3 pda/phones and this looks ideal.......if I can connect through GPRS connection to the https exchange server and send recieve emails.
Thanks in advance.

Scarper, I run my own little mail server at home which has a https web frontend in addition to serving POP & IMAP requests. I can access my mailbox on XDA2 via GPRS through the https frontend. Transport-wise I can safely say you should be able to access MS Exchange mailboxes via https. Question is what frontend would you be hitting? OWA? These things are rarely designed for the 240x320 screen size & GPRS bandwidth. You may find that access is unbearably slow or generally unusable due to UI limitations. Last but not least, if OWA uses any ActiveX components not supported on Pocket Internet Exporer you may still be out of luck. Hope this helps. Let us know how you go. Best of luck.
thanks for quick reply k_kirk .....
It will be going through OWA, now i have a dell axim connected to my home network and it uses owa to my work email no problem so i am guessing there will be no software issue.....I realise the speed through gprs will be slow but as long as it work I dont mind that.
Anyone else had an experience with this....comment or thoughts appreciated
Thanks again.
Scarper
Hi there. You are most welcome. This is most encouraging. An option you may want to try is fronting it via terminal services and access via the terminal services client on the PPC. This may give you a slight improvement in performance depending how heavy OWA is. Just a thought. Will wait to hear about your experiences. Regards
@scarper: What did you do for getting OWA to work via PIE?
Besides the scrolling you have to do on the MDAII,
I CAN get in, but once I want to open any email, it just doesnt repond . . .
edsub I am using a dell axim at the moment....I didnt do anything special just logged in and apart from all the scrolling it works......I dont know why or if it is supposed to......but it does.....so I am not complaining. Just as long as the xdaII works on it too, or I'll be in trouble because we have just ordered three xdaII's for use on the road for email.
If you want to know anymore info like settings in IE I would be willing to answer as best I can.
Cheers

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..
cheers

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!!
ok heres the deal. i have an 8525 and my company just made me get a blackberry. hate the blackberry and love the 8525. i did try and get the bb connect but the IT guy doesn't want to install the pc software for me (admin only privileges).
so i made a gmail account and set up my work email to be copied there and then set up my 8525 mail pop account to check the mail every few minutes so i have my own "push" email. my question is if i have a "standard" BES data plan for a company (don't have any idea if it is unlimited data or not) am i going to get charged any more or differently by using my 8525 to check the internet for messages or does the blackberry check for email different? don't want to end up with a $500 bill and have the accountants knock on my office door. thanks!

if you have any kind of data plan on you account, should be covered for your data usage on your phone. e.g blackberry personal max $39.99 includes 1500 txt & unlimited internet usage. tis plan works with bb push email on your ATT 8525 assuming you have the bb client install. aside from that you can use Smartphone connect for $19.99 include no txt & unlimited internet usage.
Hey, I just check my T-mobile account and now there's this new T-zone pro. what is that?
Is that an upgrade of the 4.99 T-zone?
are the ports opened on that one?
I never seen this before, It just showed up in my account today.
I need to get HTTP mail 1.5 working again.
thanks in advance.
Does anyone know what it means by full email access?
Can I finally get my windows live email without proxy modding?
thanks
Bump.
Im sure someone here is using thr 9.99 plan.
please tell me how it works.
I searched and all i see people talk abnout is the 4.99 / 5.99 plan.
its email access and wap internet. There are barely any wap sites.
proxy hack will NOT work
i would just stick it 5.99
the 9.99 disables proxy hack?
so I won't be able to use PIE anymore?
also, what kind of email access?
right now i can get email from Imap and Pop3.
but what about HTTP mail?
Thanks
bump.
What kind of email access can i get?
hotmail in the pocket outlook?
Thanks in advance.
bump.
does anyone use hotmail?
can someone tell me?
Thanks
Hi All,
Sorry if this sounds a bit dim, or is on the wrong part of the forum (please move is required), but I'm new to Blackberry and need some guidance.
I'm trying to get BBC installed on my Orbit (done), connected to the network (done) and synched with my Blackberry Service (pending) and need your help to understand the implications of what I'm aobut to do:
When I enter my account details on my Orbit and connect it you my companys Blackberry service, will I invalidate my proper Blackberry handheld device and knock it off the network ?
Can I operate both handhelds simultaneously, or is it one or the other only ?
Can corporate Blackberry and private Outlook email accounts (Push or pop) co-exist on a single WM6 device ?
respectfully,
nid
Repost your q to http://crackberry.com/
Cool, I didnt even know that site existed...
I've posted there but no-one seems interested.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks

Answers:
1. YES, it will "knock you other BB off" as in it will not receive emails any more. It will still work as a phone, but not as a BB device for retrieving your email.
2. As implied in answer to #1, the answer is NO, you will only receive email on one of the devices via BB services.
3. YES, BB proper and BBC for WM will let you receive both corporate and personal email accounts to a single phone.
Awesome, thanks a million.
