My company uses Blackaberry Exchange Server (BES) for our push wireless email system. I refuse to give up my beloved HTC product (Cingular 8525).
I noticed Europe and Asia carriers sell the BlackBerry Connect for Windows Mobile so non-blackberry units can access BES. I saw in the xda-developers ftp site under the blackberry folder that there is a "BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16.exe".
Anyone know what this exe does? Can we "fool" our PDAs and carriers into using a Windows Mobile with a BES with this file? Anyone use it? How to set up? FAQ?
Thanks,
Craig

***Vodafone network, BES with Microsoft Exchange server. Should work with anything though. ***
**** Backup your Device I did not lose any info but you may. ****
Hello All,
Just thought I would post this to help anybody out there that wishes to use a XDA to connect to a BES 4.0 Server.
Goto your BES server and add the user from the global address list.
Right, First of all you need to unlock the Handset using the software found on this site.
You will then need to phone up vodafone and get a Sim card that is Blackberry enabled (Enterprise version V.Important to connect to BES) also need a spare licence for you BES but I was told by a voda engineer that this does not matter it is only your conscience that should make you buy the CAL (Client Access licences). I am fully licenced by the way.
Uninstall blackberry connect on the XDA then stick in your Vodafone sim card.
Go into system and reinstall it. It will ask you if you want your calender sync'd and a few other question but click straight through.
Delete the Pairings on active sync and then sync the xda with the computer.
Download and install the Blackberry active sync configuration tool.
Make sure the XDA is in the cradle and go into the configuration tool.
Click the connect button down the bottom. This will go off and tell you BES server its PIN code which will be very different from your normal Blackberries. It will also ask you to do the wireless calender update(Delete) on device. This is o.k.
Active sync may want to sync at the same time. Let it do it. Go a make a cup of tea as if you have a busy calender it will take a while.
Once this is done take your XDA out of its cradle and the click on the blackberry connect icon.
Things to check.
* You have Blackberry {ALP} , {CICAL} and {CMIME} in the service.
* Click on CMIME and goto the Sync tab. Tick the Enable wireless syncronisation and change to mailbox wins and delete on mailbox and handheld.
* Check that the tickbox on wireless calender
This should be it. Any questions? Repost and I will give you any help I can.
Oh Vodafone only support BBConnect on the Nokia communicators (and one other) at the moment but I know it works on XDA's.
Going to call vodafone data support and tell them the good news.
Bannywhey.

Thanks,

If there was, defenetly you cant find it here, because it should come from Cisco coupled with software licenses. As you probably imagine, you are porting your voice over IP over SIP most probably which may require extra software on the Call manager side to make it recognized the device. Check with your Cisco AM but dont trouble his head with your particular device name, just ask him if he can install that app on a WinMobile 6.1

yes it have..u can try ip blue...however to me the quality doesnt seem to be there...u still have to create an account on ur unified console thou..
Yes, there is a Cisco solution called "Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator (CUMC)" that benefits three different mobile devices: Symbian version 3.0, Blackberry v 3.0, Windows Mobile 6.0 or 6.1 Standard Edition. Sample of those devices are: HTC S620, Motorola Q9H, Samsung Blackjack II, Nokia E51, E61i, E71, N95, N96, Blackberry curve, Pearl, 8830, 8820, 8800, 8700g. The bad news is Windows Mobile 6 Prof edition, often touch devices, are not supported. No news yet whether CUMC will be supported on Windows Mobile 6.1 Prof edition.
One of key feature of CUMC is Dial via Office (DVO). It basically place calls from CUMC using enterprise telephony infrastructure (a.k.a Cisco Unified Communications Manager abbreviated as CUCM in Cisco world). CUMC phone sends number over the Cellular data channel. Then CUCM will call initiator first then setup call to dialed user. CUMC user will have same restrictions as their desk phone. Calls made via DVO will show corporate caller-id. User can handoff the call desk-phone when he enters office. There're potential savings on cellular charges: lower rates, avoid roaming charges, international dialing via enterprise telephony infrastructure.
However, to enjoy CUMC on your mobile device, you need the underlying infrastructure:
1. Cisco Unified Mobile Advantage (CUMA) Enterprise server
2. ASA TLS proxy
3. Call control (CUCM version 6.1 or later)
4. The CUMC client which will be installed on your mobile device
5. Corporate AD: AD 2000 or 2003
6. Email/ Groupware: Microsoft Exchange 2000 or 2003
7. Blackberry Enterprise server version 4.1 if the mobile device is Blackberry.
This CUMC on your mobile device will be using GPRS data channel to contact ASA TLS proxy which basically provides deep packet inspection and hardware encryption/ de-encryption for mobile packets. Hence, it improves security for data backhaul connection from CUMC client on internet to enterprise network.
Looking to buy it when it comes out for tmobile. Before going to all of the work to switch providors, anyone have BB connect working on hd2?
Unforunately for me, BES is the only option for our corporate e-mail sync.
thx!
IMO BB Connect is a dead horse. RIM has essentially abandoned the product and I haven't seen a new client since the 8925 client.
What is your corp. email platform: Outlook or Notes?
Both have push email options.

I don't think anyone figured it out.
Hi There,
I hope to post in the correct section.
My company is using Onebridge client to replicate Lotus Notes e-mails on our mobile phones.
Today, the implemented solution is working fine but on Symbian devices (we're using Nokia E71 phones).
As I was fed up about this one, I've bought from my side a HD2. By browsing the Internet, I've found on the Sybase web site the Onebridge client for Windows Mobile devices as a trial version. I've downloaded it and have installed the CAB into my Leo. Fine !
I've entered the various parameters to contact the server but at a certain point, I've been asked to enter an activation code which I don't have....
How can I get this code knowing that the IT department doesn't want to know more about my idea to swap for the HTC solution....
Thanks in advance for any helping hand.
Cheers from Switzerland.

What's your domino version? R8 has a something Traveller (comes free on the server) where WM and iPhone can get the mails without OneBridge.
Hi Alex,
Not sure about that, but we run Lotus Notes v.7.0...
Otherwise, I need to check this with my IT dpt....
Jean-Ma
I think this will not work without your IT department ...
You do not have a standalone software on your HD2. It needs also a Server who is connecting your notes database with the sync client.
Best regards,
dingolino
