Hi
My brother has emigrated to New Zealand and I am supplying him with my old MDA Compact. I have a couple of questions that someone may be able to help with....
1) Phone is now unlocked - he is on Voda in NZ, does anyone know the GPRS settings and MMS settings so I can pre install for him before sending out the device?
2) His work use Apple Mac's in entirety, so ActiveSync will not work. I've had a quick search on here, but can anyone recommend what would be best for him to use over there? Or at least give the ability to sync up with work emails etc?
Finally, anything else I should think about before sending the whole thing over?
Thanks in advance

Apparently, we will not have to purchase the fixed 15GBP per month line rental, good news, it will come off our megabyte/data bundles.
Does anyone else know more about this? Would liek to use this if possible?
Works With MDAII?
Does anyone know what would happen if I try to download this update with BES to MDAII?
There is a newer ROM version 1.72187 on the O2 Source site. a copy of which can be found on Here I believe it has the blackberry software removed and allows GPRS whilst on a call
Can I put this rom on an i-mate (i-mate 1.72 rom)? Any potential problems like device error or freezing?
Thanks in advance.
you can put it on 1.72 imate rom

To re-phrase, will this ROM upgrade that contains Blackberry software work with the T-Mobile MDA II?
chix, you have to change some settings to the ROM prior to upgrade... and you have to set the black berry settings after upgrade

Hobbit, the rom that comes with the blackberry client is for general consumers, if you can get the appropriate APN enabled on your SIM and are able to register with o2email.co.uk then , aside from any possible additional charges, then I see no reason why it won't work.
There's always the problem of getting the right APN on your sim tho...

Speak to O2 Customer Retentions Team (CRT) they are the only people that can change you to a BB acocunt at the moment. After that you will pay £15 pm for a 5Mb bundle (Still unsure if this includes all GPRS surfing as I was told this was the case when I took out the tariff, but then have since had conflicting reports).
It works very well, with no real hit on battery power.
See the thread on black configuration on this site for more details.
Will this ROM 1.72.181 work with O2 bought in Asia
Dear all,
My machine is bought in Singapore and the latest ROM update 1.60 was also supplied for Asia as well. Will there be any problem with upgrade for UK O2 customers?
Thanks.

Im not 100% sure this is what you guys are looking for.. although when you register an account on the o2 site, it then showsup the option to download a thingy called 'email configurator' which is what I use to get back my GPRS settings & whatnot.
It seems to provide a few settings that are lost during a hard reset & I think o2 connect is in there too.
O2 Connect

Hi ...................anyone know where I can get the BIS for the Herald? I downloaded the Tytn one, but it does not seem to work as there's no pin associated. I guess like MS voice command maybe a new version is needed to make it work. Anyone have any ideas where to get it? Thanks
This reply is a little old but download the BlackBerry Client from the below site for the Vodafone VPA Compact IV which is Vodafone's branded version of the Herald.

Hello together,
could you please be so kind to help me. I have a XDA Mini o2. But I want to use another operator. How can I get the o2 Software / Branding / Applications without loosing Windows Mobile away? Thanks for all
kind regards
Eduard
>_> um, I'm not on an O2 operator, and before I modded my old Mini, it worked quite fine with its default O2 software.
Hi, thank you for answering. Generally the main functions work without any problems. But the email client makes a peck of trouble. Thanks
The email client isn't determined by any operator settings - it's user defined (at least that's in my experience). For all other things - MMS, text messages etc, O2 should have included a few other country/operator specific settings inside the autoconfigurator.
I successfully configured mine for Hotmail (although I painfully regretted doing this soon enough, since I had planned to use the device to empty a spam trap, and it was more trouble than it was worth -.-)
OK so I am new here, but I am not new to mobile devices at all. In fact I was a Mobility Admin in different forums. So please don't get mad at me for posting here. I have some questions. PLEASE don't play the FLAME the noob game. I swear that I searched far and Wide for my answers but have failed to find them.
So my question: is there anyway to tweak the T-Mobile T-zones Internet?
I can:
Connect to the internet
Download Files
Stream Music (orb)
Stream Video (badly[orb])
Use Google Maps
I can't:
Connect To IM servers, I have tried all of the programs. OZ for T-Mo is the only one that works, but it's horrible.
No YouTube, I can live without this but I hope to get it working.
MIDP can't connect.
Basicly nothing, that doesn't connect from, IE works.
----------------------------------------------------
I have played with the Proxy settings and nothing. I know that with my Treo 650 I could connect through VeriChat, but I can't connect on WM6.
Is there a program out there that can help me fix this?
Again I'm sorry if this is a repost, or an overkill of something, but I want to get this stuff working.
Thanks

I do not have an obvious solution but have also seen plenty of similar comments here from others - not just with T-Mobile either. I am using T-Mobile in the UK and have none of your problems.
I obviously had the original T-Mobile Vario II build (WM5) but now have the Black MAJIK build with WM6 and all has been fine with both. Some people directly accuse T-Mobile of blocking their IM, but I have no issue with it - albeit I use it rarely. Of course it "may" be that T-mobile are indeed blocking some services to 'offenders' (IM is not allowed) but I wonder if their system is that capable.
Obvious questions for you are: what OS are you using? Have you changed ANY comms settings from the original T-Mobile build? Have you tried a hard reset to restore original settings (including the all important T-Mobile extended ROM)?
If you still have the original OS ROM build running then you might try installing the configuration .cab files that are stored on the Extended ROM separately - some apply directly to such device settings. Access to that Extended ROM on the WM5 build is easy and you just need an application such as "HTweakC 2.0" (available here). Of course, and as ever, start with backing-up your device - but you will know that.
I hope this helps.
I have VSWL Rom.
I have setup the internet (GPRS) settins like they are suppose to be.
I believe that it is a fact that T-Mo has blocked ports, and has only left http smtp and pop3 open. So my dilema is why did verichat connect on my Treo 650 and not on my MDA or my 8525.
First we need to know if you are in tmobile usa, uk...????
if you are in tmo usa then you can't
if you have the proxies 216.155.165.50:8080 the most you can use is PIE (pocket internet explorer)
the best thing is to get the blackberry $20 dollar add-on plan and just setup without proxys. wap.voicestream.com and you have full internet access.
I am in the USA, and I have the T-zona 5.99 plan.
I am less than reluctant to close my mind for this not to work, since google maps works. and, as I said, on my Treo 650 using verichat worked perfectly.
I don't know what the difference in the way the Treo 650 connected and the way my 8525 connects.
Perhaps the programs that can connect are ones that ones that connect through port 80 and are proxied to 8080.
I am so lost on this topic though.
too many contractidicting points.
such as streamining works on win but not on palm
IM worked on Palm but on Win.
