Hello Guys,
I'm stucked....I'm trying to install the BB client on my PDA. I'm a T-Mobile user and i'm using the sw's are supported by them..... they are trying to tell me that my hw is broken......Tell me if it can be true that a hardware which is capable for BB connection is working only under the OS which is published by the Operator????
for me it seems it will be the case but as I have a HTC PDA I do not want to Downgrade my OS to the T-Mob. one which I do not like......
I've found already one thread at the Wizzard site which is very similar to my case....
Thx'n advance,
Tg
What error messages are you getting?
The situation is the following:
After I'm inst. the BB client on the PDA I can see at the Service TAB:
service: Blocked- activesync connected.
Even if I'm trying to use the BB_DeskConn. sw. there is no result on the sync progress... no error msg. exactly what I can share you. The desktop sw is getting my BB_PIN so there is an up and running service.
If I'm trying to connect over the GPRS connection there is no IP signed by the provider PDA is loosing the IP immediatelly (AFAIK the first sync must be done via the PC).
My Operator does not have any idea about it they say I mightg have to use their provided OS.....my operator is T-Mobile. It is nonsense taht is why I've bought an unsigned tool.

What does the BB client status show when you are not connected to activesync?
try to connect via GRPS for 10 sec than says not connected. IP for certain sec's and than nothin'
Offical answer by the Operator in Hungary is the following:
HTC TyTN is not working with the BB service only if it runs with T-Mobile provided OS.

There are specific ROM/OS version, Radio version & BB connect version that will work, and generally unless the operator you are with supports BB connect, they wouldn't even point you towards another operator/provider's ROM/OS, so I think they are already doing you a favour...
yeah I can imagen that is what I'm looking for! Is that an idea if i'm gonna install a NON HTC version than or the cab inst. of the Operator is enough?
I've tested with a T-MOb ROM no result same error nothing happens the device cannot connect to the BB service. Anybody any idea?
So I have you guys a workaround:
If you have a not locked PDA than DO NOT use the Operator Provided BB connector i won't work.
For me the case is closed answer is:
BlackBerry connect 2.1.2.16 which is avaliable on the FTP
I don't understand what do you mean.
I have XDA Trion, never locked, with the newest HTC firmware, Blackberry connect from this FTP, but it still doesn't connect. Says Radio is Off.
which version of BB? b/c in my case BB 2...20 was not okay but the 2....16 was. Maybe your and my cases are different...

I'm just so excited I had to post, I got my Powerbook (OSX 10.4) and my XDA Exec working together, the Exec as a Bluettoth modem thru O2
SO now I am able to browse the web/get emails on my Powerbook using the EXEC as a GPRS/3G modem .. Anywhere
All I had to do was:
1 - Flash be bios with the Jasjar one (??) (I had done this before, I dont know if it works with the O2 bios, I will assume it will)
2 - On EXEC, start Bluettoth and make it discoverable, run "Wireless modem" under programs .. enable Bluettoth modem in "Wireless Modem"
3 - on Powerbook, Setup a new Bluetooth device, choose "any device" . it will find the Jasjar/Exec .. pair them.
4 - On PB, go to "internet connect" .. click on bluettoth, create a new config with:
Description: O2 Web
Tel. Number: *99#
user: mobileweb
passwd: password
modem: au cdmaOne Bluetooth adapter
then just click "connect" and your on the web (well, at least I am)
good luck

I can confirm it's working with DOPOD 900 chinese rom with HongKong Sunday GPRS.
The problem of MAC can't connect with old version of wireless modem (e.g. wireless modem on XDA Mini) is because there is no option to set the gprs AP, however, it is avalible in unverisal's wireless modem application.
Moreover , au cdmaone bluetooth adaptor is the only working modem setting with universal.
I am looking for this solution since a got my Powerbook G4! Thanks!!!!!!
I've got it working with my powerbook as well on tmobile US over GPRS. Really wish we had UMTS available over here :-( It was actually much easier to get working with my QTEK 9000 than with the PDA2k. There is a secret to getting older ones to work though in 10.4 You need to get a copy of the bluetooth serial utility which allows you to create ports, and then you use GPRS modem scripts and completely circumvent the wireless modem software on the phone itself. If anybody needs the bluetooth app (it came iwth older versions of os X but not X.4) or the scripts, lemme know
Im guessing this just charges it to your bill at what ever rate you pay per meg yeh?
could be useful in an emergency but not for playing about on.

i dunno about where you are mate but here in Hong Kong we got two operators with unlimited GPRS plans for HK$128 a month. i'm on the Sunday one (as mentioned above with the Powerbook dude, i'm gonna try it on my dad's powerbook tonight too) and there's another operator called Peoples that offers the same thing.
that's like 13 euros a month, or 16USD...somewhere around that figure.
i'm sure there's something similar in other parts of the world too~
I tried this on my tmobile MDA and it worked perfectly right away. I didn't have to change roms or anything like that.
Dear All,
I've downloaded (from Vodafone mentioned in this Forum) the Blackberry connect Client (VPA Compact III) and I've installed it on my Tytn (with SIM as Blackberry company service and the Activesync BB on my PC) without any problems.
After the PIN syncronize, when I start the service on my Tytn, it works only for 2/3 seconds after that it goes automatically in NOT CONNECT. I've read the PDF document, and I've done the correct installation and so on ...
Where I worng ???
Is there anybody to use/work with the BB on Tytn ???
Is necessary to install the BB connect on Tytn with the SIM (with the BB serive active) present on Tytn ???
Please help me :roll:
Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Ciao, Cesare

During my tests, I've installed more BB connect versions on my Tytn, and it didn't work. Before to install the correct version one (here: http://support.vodafone.de/index_l3_2z.html#vpacompactIII), I've done a hard reset, I've installed the correct BB connect (2.1.2.16), I've installed the BB desktop 2.1 on my PC, I've set the company mail (Blackberry service instead of Internet instant mail), I've sync them and after that it works
P.S.:
I've got a company phone: Blackberry 7100v, and for my test I've installed the company SIM on my Tytn ...

hi
i have also a problem with my mda vario II. it cannot connect register to the blackberry server in our company. i test various files from vodafone and from xda-developers but with no sucess. everytime in the status field stand No Connection. But the gprs connection works fine when i use it with ie or other programs which uses it.
also i tested the sim in my old mda III where it works fine. i also deleted the account on the bes and createt a new one without sucess.
are there any settings that i have to make??
thanks
daniel
That's very strange :shock:
Have you tried with a hard reset, and install the correct BB connect :?:
Ciao, Cesare
today i tried it also to connect with blackberry. i made a complete reset of the mda varioII and installed the blackberry client from the vodafone site. but nothing changed, i already get no connection when i want to register to blackberry.
after that i called my provider(t-mobile austria) for help with my problem. there i get the information that there is no BB-client from them at the moment. they also said that my downloaded BB-client from vodafone will never work with my t-mobile device. but when i try this client with my mda pro and mda vario blackberry works perfect without any problems.
is there anybody who have a working mda varioII with a t-mobile rom and BB-client?
Great stuff... Don't normally post but just wanted to let you all know that the Vodafone Blackberry Connect software works a treat on my Dopod 838 Pro with Starhub in Singapore. Real push Lotus Notes e-mail from our company server in Houston.
Thanks a lot ,

Problems conecting to BES
I installed the BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16 on my TyTN, the ActiveSyncInstaller2.1.1.9 on my desktop, syncronized with the BES, and the status does not show conencted, it says network available for a while and then gets back to not connected. I tried blackberry support, HTC support, Cingular support (which I verified that I have the blackberry connect unlimited plan active) and nothing. Can someone help me please.........
JaimeCS,
I had a similar issue... and found the oddest behaviour.
When I had a UMTS connection - it wouldn't connect at all...the BBC client tried to start a connection, then gave up. After about 3 attempts over a minute, it finally goes back to 'Suspended by User'.
Now, here's the odd part. When I tried this again from the Office, I'm out of UMTS coverage and only get EDGE, this time it connected ! I go back home to UMTS coverage and it fails again.
But now I'm on to the next problem. I get NO EMAIL whatsoever coming down... it just sits there... I've verified the server set up since I got a Blackberry to try it out (god, that HW is ugly).
Let me know if any of this helps ? plus if you get it connected using Cingular !!!
Cheers
Dave
I made work part of the problem, I manually switched the network and the band to GSM in the device, and the status is connected and the messages are not syncronizing with my BES. Blackberry support sais that Cingular needs to active the services. Then, I realized that I have two services from Cingular the unlimited PDA and the blackberry connect unlimited. I used to have the "G" in the screen because of the unlimited PDA plan and not from the blackberry connect. Cingulr removed the PDA unlimited plan from my account, and now I don't have neither internet not blackberry..... does anybody knows which is the correct blackberry plan in USA?
THis is the only way as of this date that I have found to get Blackberry Services for BES to work on my wizard. Im sure there is little difference in setting up BB for BIS.
The following ROMS have been tested and DID NOT WORK:

So, Here is the list of files YOU WILL NEED to make BB work easily:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Blackberry/ActiveSyncInstaller2.1.1.9.zip
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Blackberry/BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16.exe

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Radio_Roms/Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_only.zip
(This is assuming you already have Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 installed already and are using a completely unlocked phone)
1. Download all 4 files listed above
2. Make sure your handheld is connect via MS Active Sync
3. Run--> "RUU_Prodigy_2170702....exe" Follow prompts till finished. (Upon reboot you should see the QTEK logo on your Wiz Screen)
4. Go thru the Standard Screen alignment tests and so on till you get to your Palmtop (Avoid synchronizing MS ASync till the last step)
5. After Unzipping "Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_only.zip" Run--> "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" Follow Prompts till finished. (Complete the handheld tests)
6. Next, Run--> BBConnect_Pocket_PC_BB_2.1.2.16.exe (You should see it install the Blackberry Service.cab onto your handheld)
7. Just hit next a few times and ok, out of the BB configuration screens as we will be configuring that later.
8. Be sure you have an account on your BES before continuing.
9. Install ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_2.1.1.9.exe. Follow the prompts. When the install is done you should have a PIN.
10. Hit Connect on in BBConnect to recieve your service book from BES
11. On Your Handheld goto-> start-> Settings-> Connections-> Connections-> My ISP (Add Modem)-> Choose "New"
12. Name it anything. Under "Select Modem" Choose-> Cellular Line (GPRS) then click Next
13. Under "Access Point Name" type: blackberry.net (then choose next)
14. There is no Username and Password so leave it blank. Click the "Advanced" button-> Check "Use IP header compression"-> then hit "ok"-> choose "Finish"
15. Hit OK, out to your palmtop.
Unplug your handheld form your PC and give it a few minutes to connect. Soon you should be sending and recieving Corporate email as if you were using a Blackberry.
I have one problem with this. I still cant browse the internet. Anyone know the Proxy settings for RIM's network?
GL all and have fun!
Quick Question, do you have the BES flag on your cingular acct?
BES Flag
I didnt know RIM had a flag
Most likely I would say yes as our company has been using BB's for years.
Would Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_only.zip work on an T-Mobile MDA?

You should use the most current T-Mobile Radio, which is locatred is here:

It does not work with BB Connect client
TMO Radio ROM
After a long conversation with a few Cingular techs (not that this is good advice) on this subject we determined that it would be possible for you to use the Cingular radio ROM.
Just be aware that service providers outside of the US use a radio spectrum that is different from ours. This means that a Radio ROM from the wrong country could cause irrepairable damage to the radio in your phone.
It should be relatively safe to use a 'same spectrum' ROM without any worries.
US to US = safe. US to UK = not so safe
Thanks.
Applied the radio. it does work on TMO.
Unfortunately the BB Connect client still does not. It tries to establish a connection, gets an IP address and shows "data tunnel available" for a brief moment, then disconnects.
This is frustrating !

BB Connect
Are you sure you have a completely SIM unlocked and CID Unlocked phone and are using the Qtek 2.17 ROM ?
Here is how you can tell your phone is completely unlocked and you are using the right ROM... (I had this same problem too)
Turn your phone off.
Turn back on.
The first screen you see should be ALL White and have the 'HTC Inovation' logo on it.
The next screen will have your ROM Versions and have the QTEK logo on it.
If you dont get that on boot up then you need to CID Unlock your phone.
BB Connect
Once you CID Unlock your phone you should reload the QTEK 2.17 ROM and Radio ROM
errr..
Just follow the instructions at the top of this post and you will start working.
Yes, I totally unlocked the phone.
However, I am not running the Qtek ROM but the TMO ROM (2.26) with the Cingular radio. I am trying to figure out which ROM/Radio combo will work on teh TMO network.
Does this QTek rom have MSFP and stereo Bluetooth ?

Thanks for this. I've used the ROM/Radio combinations and have a working BB connect (via BES) on by Wizard. However, after bricking my last phone (G4 phone) trying to get BB connect working with the older ROM solution, I took some precaution this time around, and cooked a custom nk.nbf containing just the QTEK ROM & extended rom & the cingular radio (ie, without IPL/SPL). This also means that it does not matter if your phone is G4 and is not CID unlocked for this process to work unless you are running a very new IPL/SPL. Happy to post this if anyone wants it (and if I can work out how to).
Another point of note is that I did not need to set up the modem/access point/GPRS connection. The BB connect client worked without this.
For those interested, I had a working (older) BB connect on an XDA II, and all I did was upgrade the phone, install BB connect, install the new desktop software and connected. The desktop software picked up I had another PIN and asked whether I wanted to update (which I did), and all worked after that. One point to note is that the BB connect client was unstable with PIM (calendar) sync enabled (probably due to the large number of appointments I had). I hard-resetted, and re-set up BB connect without PIM and this has worked for the past week or so.

If this would work on my G3 Cingular 8125 I would LOVE try it! Please upload it...
Thanks!
I now have BBConnect working with my companies enterprise server and I am using Vodafone contract and HTC Wizard.
Last week I was using the Molski custom ROM (fantastic ROM btw) and for the love of god BBconnect would not connect. I would connect for a second or two and then disconnect.
On Monday I installed the latest Vodafone UK ROM that is posted on the FTP server. Reinstalled the Vodafone supplied software for BBConnect and Desktop SYNC, and then connected the phone up to my laptop and exchanged PINS using the supplied Desktop SYNC (BBCONNECT) software supplied my Vodafone.
My GPRS Modem setting is web.vodafone.de (I am based in Cologne) You dont need to enter blackberry.net
Disconnected phone from laptop and all works fine. If anyone wants more info, please let me know.

The BB Connect client transmits the phone type (Wizard), Rom version & radio version to RIM, and this is checked against the officially supported combinations. This has been well known since v1 of the BB Connect client (which I used to use on my XDA II).
It has been shown that there are certain combinations will work, and as the exact mechanism and "rules" that RIM uses to check against isn't known, all we can do is either use an "official" combination (eg, German Rom + German BB Connect client), or use a combination that have been discovered (such as the one posted in this thread).
To further illustrate this, when I had my XDA II, using the official UK rom with BB Connect V1 client, I upgraded the BB Connect client to a V2 one that was supported on the XDA Mini, and RIM blocked my PIN after a minute or so. Mail flowed again when I downgraded back to the official BB Connect V1 client.

Titus - do you think version 1 of Blackberry Connect would work better than the current version on the Cingular 8125? If so, do you know where I can find that version? I'm having the problem where it won't get around "Blocked - Radio In Use".
Thanks much

I think the V2 client works better.
The V1 client worked as long as I kept deleting the mail and kept it under approx 200 mail. More than that and the BB client starts playing up and chews up CPU on the device making it practically unusable.
The V2 client has worked well for me for email. However, when I first installed I enabled the PIM/calendar function, and it was great. But it stops working properly after a soft reset, the device starts playing up with (similar to V1 client). My guess is that the issue with both V1 & V2 clients are with the number of items, and in my case my calendar has a horrendious number of entries. V2 client has worked great since I hard reset, reinstalled and did not enable PIM. I use the device with BB on all the time, I use windows media player to play music, I use the phone often, and I hardly ever reset the phone.

Er, are you already configured as a BlackBerry user? Enterprise or Internet? If you don't already have this service via your company or a third party then it won't come by itself! If you are set up then more details would help to assist you to diagnose your problem.
Hope this helps!

My company run 3 blackberry enterprise servers and i have full admin rights for them.
Im stumped!
I don't yet have experience with BB Connect 4, but with some of our BB Pearls and 8707 models we found that exchanging model via BB Desktop on the PC was not always entirely successful, and that often the way to go was an Enterprise Activation.
I'm using BB Connect 4.0.0.67 on Cingular 8525 (Elf 2.1 Crackberry ROM).
Assuming that you have BB Connect working on your handheld.
(ie. you have PIN showing up in the Identity tab)
You have two scenarios.
1) BES
You have to activate your account on your BES server then you have to enter this into into BB Connect on your handheld.
2) BIS
You have to register you PIN and phone IMEI on your service provider's BB email site. Then you have to add the email accounts, then you send down the Service books.
blackberry connect - orange
i am trying to instal on an spv 3100 on orange i am able to install the bb connect on phone but then i try to use it i am told service not connected when i try to restart it says stopped. any ideas
many thanks
I had the same thing happen to me. I installed BBC 2.1.2.16 and it did the same thing. I then installed 2.1.2.54 and everything worked.
Hi
Has Anyone Got the BlackBerry Connect Software Working on this model?
Thanks
Leon
i'd be curious as well. there are a few threads on this, and it seemed like nobody got it to work on the touch cruise (though people have gotten it to work on their touch).
out of curiosity, why are people choosing to use blackberry connect rather than direct push through exchange? i find that my push is not 100% reliable and considered using blackberry connect to fix this. does anybody else have that dilemma?
Sadly, blackberry is the 'corporate standard', so I am stuck with it.
I have managed to get the Blackberry Connect client 4.0.0.97 to work 100% reliably on HTC touch p3450 with an HTC release ROM. As soon as you load a tweaked or cooked ROM the Blackberry Connect stops working.
Sadly the XDA Orbit 2 comes with an o2 cooked rom so it wont work with that, I have a call in to o2 support but I wont hold my breath

Hi,
I still new to Blackberry installation. (It´s my first go today)
From what I have read here a lot of people have problems.
I´ve successfully installed 4.0.0.97 of the Polaris with Bepes 0.58 Full German, eventhough the first installation required a compleate reset:
The HTC also connects to the server, but I get an error as my current user has been rejected. I do believe that our IT Admin needs to allow me to use the Blackberry function..... or am I still doing something wrong?
Unforunately I´ve noticed that the PDA has slowed down somewhat after installing the Blackberry connect
Look forward following this post.
Cheers

To get connected, you can talk to your IT amdin, but you don't need to if you also install the Blackberry Connect for Windows Mobile DESKTOP software. What that lets you do is obtain and assign a PIN to your Polaris/BBC setup. Its a security measure to tie your phone with your email account. Install BBC for WM desktop on a PC that has access to your email account (i.e. Outlook connecting to your Exchange server), then run the program. It generates a PIN, assigns it to your phone within BBC on the phone, then you should be good to go. Of course, you can talk to your IT guy otherwise.
And the slowdown is what I mentioned in the other forum. BBC uses LOTS of CPU, memory, and thus, battery.
Hi Rar9
If it connects then disconnects that is because you're using a non-release ROM (cooked).
On a succesful install of 4.0.0.97 you will see after reset a connection even if you havent configured desktop, it is required for the desktop proggie to do its work.

I have not been able to get it to work and I have the stock HTC ROM. I'm not aware of anyone who's been able to get Blackberry Connect to work on this device. Check out this thread for others in the same boat:

Leon,
I don´t think it would be related to the cooked Rom. I believe that it tries to get allowance from the server and then is rejected since I never had a blackberry so far with this company. Unforunately I still can´t confirm 100% since the our IT has not responded to my query.
In the meantime I have removed the BBconnect and use an Outlook Webmail connection via Seven (thanks for jomo25) which is very FAST and is not so hard on the CPU like BBConnect. I also believe its a lot easier to install.
(http://community.seven.com/forum/index.php?forum=true)
I´ll give it another try once I get more feedback from our IT and will post my results.
Cheers

Yeah I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM. There seems to be an issue with the TC connecting to the Blackberry server and I have no idea why. That thread I sent earlier contains some theories on the topic. The BC software is a resource hog for sure.
Assuming you're using BC to connect to Coporate Mail (Enterprise) you can always try Microsoft Direct Push instead of Blackberry Connect to get to the Exchange server. A less optimal path would be to use IMAP to connect to the Exchange server. Then you would lose Push mail functionality
Well, we have 2 threads on the same topic. Some diff players in each, so I'll cross-post this one last time...Here's the other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376917
Here's what I posted last: Seven is a "competing product" to BB's suite. If you are trying to connect to a BB server, then yes, you'd need BBC. But if you are just trying to get your email delivered, whether it be personal, POP3, IMAP, or you corporate email (Exchange) and you are behind a firewall, then Seven has a solution for you. Some more elegant than others. But it works. For me, it's the only option since we do use Exchange, behind a firewall, with no OWA externally accessible and BBC's software is very juice hungry.
As for getting BBC to work. Without knowing your exact setup, its hard to know what the issue is. First, make sure you are on the right data plan. I.e. for AT&T you MUST be on one of their BB data plans. Otherwise, you won't be able to get to the blackberry.net APN needed. Then, make sure you have the BBC for WM software installed on your phone and PC. (There are 2 programs, one for each) Then, connect your phone to the PC as in ActiveSync. Run the PC's program. You should notice that ActiveSync connection is severed, and the BB program should find the phone. Then go to assign a PIN and it should. Then it shoudl start to pull email to your phone.
The second software you need to run on the PC is here:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=225
Click on the link for: ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_4.0.0.17.zip
Because BBC uses a different APN than all other network access on your phone, and your phone can only connect to one APN at a time, you will not be able to do other things like surf via IE on your phone while you are connected to BBC (another reason it sucks).
----------
@ Rar9, I'm glad Seven is working for you. To be honest, if you can use the Seven software, you might just wanna stick with it. Seriously, BBC is a resource hog and a half as you seem to have experienced. You'll find it tough to go thru a day without battery dying, if your expereicne with BBC was similar to mine. I even have to run Seven's Workgroup Connector (which sends my work mail through my work PC) and I STILL prefer Seven over BBC for that reason. PLUS, you don't have to worry about switching APNs between your carrier's normal Internet gateway and the blackberry.net gateway. And of course th efinal bonus: the BB data packages tend to be MUCH more expensive than the normal data ones (up to 50% price diff with AT&T).
But try it again if you would like. Hope my instructions and links above for BBC help with that.
Ok so let me clarify. I am trying to connect to get my Exchange email through a Blackberry server. Microsoft Direct Push is not an option since IT doesn't enable it on the server. I do have the Blackberry Enterprise (not personal) plan from ATT. I do have the BC software. I do have an activation code from IT. The problem is the phone does not connect to the Blackberry server. Like I mentioned in my previous post if you check out that thread on SEMS others seem to have this issue. I am getting the same behavior this user in the UK is having:
"After installation and Blackberry Setup I get:
PIN pending
IMEI it's ok
IP address No connection
Status/Service Not Connected
By pressing the "register now" button I get Blackberry Edge connection, Status/Service shows Network Available then Data Tunnel Available and finally "Not Connected". During the process I can see an IP address in the Identity screen."
Appreciate your instructions but I just don't think it works. I've tried several different versions of the BC software, no cigar.
So, just to make sure, you have the desktop PC software also? If so, what happens when you connect the PC to the phone via USB? Doesn't it ask you to move the mouse around to generate a random and unique PIN? Oh, and did you force your phone to only use Edge? I beleive AT&T's connection to the BB APN is still only available via their 2G network, not 3G (not 100% on that last thing, but I do remember it was the case before).
You know, it's been awhile since I tried this, but honestly I remember trying like every permutation. I installed and uninstalled almost every version of BC. I tried it with Edge and/or 3G. I tried using the desktop software to generate the PIN and other times I didn't. I guess I can always try again. Have you gotten it to work on your device?
Not on my Polaris. I haven't tried. I did on my Kaiser and on my Hermes. I had the same issues you describe, til I used the desktop software to gen the Pin. I'd try on my Polaris now, except that I don't have the BB data plan and don't want to go thru the hassle with the AT&T guys again to get it added (esp since I won't keep the BBC software on my phone anyways for the aforementioned issues).
So, it may be that it doesn't work with the Polaris. the new versions of BBC should work, but they may not. If you feel you've tried it and did everything right, then it just may not work as you say.
I definitely don't want to steer you down a dead end. I was just checking to see if you did everything I thought needed to be done. Sounds like you had those bases covered.
Sorry!

Hi hambola
I read that the RIM Blackberry Connect was designed to work on Release / RTM versions of Windows mobile and has been coded to prevent it logging on via the global BES if the ROM is unsigned or if the device name is not in the list of allowed devices.
I can prove this using my trusty P3450. When loaded with a vanilla WWE RTM ROM Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.97 works fine. Load a cooked ROM and it connects then disconnects. This is the behviour I get on my polaris with its customised o2 ROM.
So it could be a clean ROM problem or it could be that Blackberry just havent allowed the Polaris to connect just yet.
Yours
Leon

Same behaviour on a cooked ROM on P3450 - exactly the same.
German O2 Orbit 2 will support BBC in May. This is what someone from O2 told me. BBC software sends the PDA ID (Pola200) the OS version and the carrier to RIM. If your PDA is not supported by RIM you'll get " pin pending".
So we have to wait.
