Blackberry curve 8900 ROM? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have here a Blackberry Curve 8900, with a enterprise version from my company.
Now I got this Blackberry from my company as a gift, but I have only trouble with it.
E.G. I cant connect to any other Mail-Account then to the one of my company and so on.
For this reasons Iam looking for a way to get a other rom working on it, is there something available? I found nothing!
Thank you in advance!

Android has roms, Blackberries have Hybrids. Hybrids add to the performance of the device, but not it's features. Sorry man.

blackberry 8900 help
my blackberry has been master locked
can it be unlocked ?
if so please guide me on how i should do please

my 2 eurocents!
you should ask your carrier/enterprise to unlock the phone, i was a former BB owner, unlocking bes(blackberry enterprise service) will erase your old account so you can create a new one bis (blackberry internet service), don't remember but there should be an option on BB site or in your phone too, just check

iphone 2.0 vs Windows Mobile 6.1

As we all know, Windows mobile supported push email with certificate based authentication.
Apple have now released iphone 2.0 and I'm wondering whether they also support certificate based authentication for push email service.
Anyone have any source on this ?

i would pretty much guarantee they are, it will probably even be better than windows mobile push email

How much "better" can a push email service get? I get all my emails instantly through FlexMail in HTML with the IMAP server, always idle. Works very well, and the new design of FM is better.
Yeah, I'm actually going to retire my HTC Touch for an Iphone. Hands down, they where successful this time.
I'm not sure about this as this feature not stated in the official pdf. They only mentioned VPN certification based authentication is supported.
yes, v2 (beta at least) does support certificate authentication for EAS

I was thinkin about it too, but unless you have AT&T, the difference in your monthly bill will shoot up quite a bit...
the iPhone 2 doesn't really have anything new besides push email and 3G... no new animations(which i believe cannot be customized) or even a new look of the phone overall... the interface looks identicle...
True its gunna be FAR more affordable than the old one, but if in 6-9 months WM7 will be released, i think i'll wait for windows' version of multitouch screen, which i am also POSITIVE will allow UBER AMOUNTS of customization!
good luck kproj, let us know how you like it. but without the ability to customize and make your phone way different than everyone elses, you'll just be "fallin in".
yeah, when I was deciding between a kaiser and a iphone, winmo won me over because I had a ppc, and the customization avaliable is amazing. But I don't use it too much as a business phone, my laptop is enough, so I don't know about your needs.

I asked the question about EAS for Iphone using certificate based authentication in an apple forum...
the answer was... NO the iphone is not able to manage EAS with certiifcate authentication...
If somebody knows how to configure it... Please help me...
specially "tmknight", he told in his post that was possible with beta version...
WOW!
Apple includes something that has been a part of Windows and its revolutionary?
I have a really cool gadget for sell. You plug it into any AC outlet and it blows hot air really fast! It can dry your hair in half the time! I am going to ignore the other folks selling items that are kinda' similar for $20 and offer mine for $299! If you feel like you are getting ripped off, take comfort in knowing that my hair dryer is really trendy and Pairs Hiliton owns 2!!
I read recently that the Iphone is not infact a true push email system. It uses IMAP with a very high poll rate so, if its true its in fact pull with synchro. This has also caused the apple fan club issues as it can take up to 15minutes for contacts/calender entries to sync up to the server.
btw, my mates done nothing but moan and ***** about his Iphone since 2.0 - reckons its buggy as hell. Thats some statement as he is a mad apple fan boy so if he's upset then it really MUST be bad!
and here we go: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/16/mobileme_not_pushing/
Email is managed through IMAP, and strictly speaking is pulled by polling the IMAP servers every minute, though that gives a reasonable impression of being pushed.

I do not use cert auth, but in speaking with my peer on our messaging team (spoke with him upon reading this thread way back) it is possible with Exchange 2007 - he stated he successfully tested it. Afraid I can't offer more.
@ojp,
Check this link
Maybe you'll have some answers to your questions.
Yeah I just ordered a new iPhone had my HTC Tilt for a while and well... I wasnt too impressed with WM. I do look forward and would love to be on a WM but one that works smooth would be a must.
All you guys leaving WinMo phones to go straight to the Iphone, I wish you the best luck, but I´m sure you will come back, after the Iphone-fever has passed and you realice that not too much can be done to PERSONALIZE your phone.
Anyway, it´s just my personal thougth and wish you the best luck!
Cheers
I've used my Tilt and I've used Both iPhones and for what I do the iPhone fits me better. Other HTC phones I like a lot more than the iPhone but I'm getting it at a 1/3 or 1/4 the cost of an HTC I'd rather have.

Thoughts on this software for customizing your iPhone?

I only want one, but... which one?

Hello to everybody.
After some time reading you as a visitor, I've decide to post my first doubt for you.
I have a Qtek S200 since 2 years, and it is the third PPC that I have. It is a slow process, but it works.
By other hand, after avoiding for a couple of years, finally I have accepted from my company a Blackberry device. That is a very nice device: the ball is useful, the GPS is also useful, and so on, BUT
I only want to have one device and I use some software SPB Finance that is necessary for my normal life. So There is no option to change the software. And, also, I use and I actually have words and excel made under WM5.
So, here is my question for the experts and experienced people:
What new device should I buy taking into account:
I only want one device, with windows mobile where I can run my current software and MS mobile files but with the ability to have Blackberry Entreprise running in it.
GPS is also wellcome, and more speed than my S200 also. keyboard is not a must, but is not a problem if the best one have keyboard.
The operator that I have now is Movistar (Spain) and we (my company) are going to change to Orange in the next months.
As an additional data, I'm not a complet useless in computers, but, I would like to save as much as posible my time, due to I do not have enough free time, so, fiability will be really appreciate.
Thank in advance for reading me and, more thanks if you can give me some advise about
HTC Rapheal my friend! Or Sony Erricson X1...both very nice. Not too sure about availability on your carriers, though.
Also, you have the option of Blackberry connect to connect your PDA to your company's Blackberry servers (if they let you of course). Then you'll have the best of both worlds.

Thank you both for your comments and suggestions. Raphael looks nice. I will wait until to have some real experience about.
Regarding the connection, that is exactly the think that I wanted to do. But, I'm getting worried about, because I would like to connect with the information that I have in the blackberry without any external petition to my IT department.
Do you think that could be possible?

ATT Fuze & BB Connect?

So- Im thinking the Fuze is going to be my new phone...
Question- does it support Blackberry Connect? I'm assuming so...
And, here's aa semi off topic question related to that... would BBConnect be invisible to the BES itself? My employer seems to tell me that they do not support BBC, but I would think that the BES just bees it as a BB. I'm a noob, and could be wrong. Just looking for an answer...
Flame on.

There's already a couple of threads in this forum particularly regarding BBC on the Fuze. Officially it does support, but the software link on the phone leads to a page saying Coming Soon, it's scheduled to start in January.
However most people got the client that works for the Fuze from sems.org. Version .103 works with BES and I can attest to that since I use my Fuze on my BES that I administer for my company. Your employer is probably just trying to steer you into getting a company owned phone instead of using a personal. It's something I deal with my users on the regular basis.
I found the resources to get the BBConnect software on the Fuze- so i thank you for that.
As for the BESAdmin stuff...
Fair enough- and thats the standpoint I assumed they are taking...
See, Im a 3rd party consultant who needs access to the inter-office BES mail for myself, and my personal email for my consulting company as well- so I need access to all this mail on one device- ideally. I understand their overly cautious secutiy concerns- but I suppose I want to know if I can use the BBConnect without them harassing me. I know this is a BESAdmin specific question- but I don't know how many flags this sets off in a BES envoironment- or if they can even just plainly turn off the ability for BBConnect to be used... if it's worth me even attempting to use the BBConnect.

Blackberry?

Hi,
I need some information. How good is blackberry phone compared to recent Windows Mobile phone from HTC?
I absolutely know nothing about BB, never have one, never used one.
But I have some discussion with my friend who likes his BB very much. While on the other hand, I like my HTC Kaiser.
We have another friend who wants a new phone and asked us.
The rest you should know whats going on. I recommended those new HTC WinMo (HD, HD2, TD2, TPro2 ...), and my BB friend recommended some BB (BB bold, Gemini?).
I only know that BB user like to CHAT a lot using BB ... But thats it. And of course its corporate feature, like email, etc.
So, could you guys share your knowledge about this comparison?
Does BB has GPS? and application like TomTom?
Does the BB web browser any good?
I know probably their email client is better than WinMo?
What are the worse features in BB?
Thanks
They have good corporate e-mail and enterprise software options. You can check attachments, get onstant updates, etc. It is more secure concerning private data some people say.
It has the ugliest possible form factor for a mobile device in my opinion.
Good for journalists, businesses, etc.
HTC phones are far better for anyone else.

Help me keep my Android

My company is giving us iPads and iPhones. I have already taken the iPad and plan on using it but I don't want to give up my Android phone. I was about to upgrade to the HTC One too. The issue is my company will not allow any phone other than iPhone or Blackberry on their company servers to use exchange. So I am looking for advice on syncing my outlook contacts, calendars and email with my android phone. I wish there was a stealth mode of EAS. I can actually connect my phone with our servers but after a couple of days they realize there is an unauthorized device and shut down my link. Then I have to call and reconnect.
Anyway, are there any others out there with this same problem? Now that gsync is gone what are you doing? Are there any email options other than just forwarding to gmail? Are there any bi-directional options? I have discovered OGGSync and think it may be my best option but its not going to help with email. Thanks for any advice.
Get the one as an upgrade and use that for everything that isn't related to your work.
Get your free iphone and use that for business stuff.
Carry them both around.

android with you family and iphone with your company
if your company demands. i think you 'd better not use android phone to access company service device.so leave android phone for your family.
only thing you will do is keep two phone in your bug.
I guess that's what I'll do. I would like to have access to my company stuff too though. I will probably just use OWA in the browser.
Carry them both around.
ios for business
and andorid for other stuff
Why not BB? Surely you know the joy of candybar qwerty...?
If it's company policy, I really don't think you should try to circumvent it.
As other have said, simply carry a work phone and a personal phone.
company policy,
i think the only way to slove this problem is carry them both.
one for work one for other.

Lol it's a *ucking phone. Stop giving it importance. Sooner or later you will realise that thinking about all these iPhones and android was not even worth it. Just use a iPhone it can do everything necessary so I don't c the need for you to keep another phone
