Any chance of a comparison pic of the curve2 and storm next to each other?
Posted by jcwhite_uk
anyone got a Storm working on a network other than Vodafone? Just curious if it would work. Not sure if the other networks would have the service books for the Storm.

Zoots isnt on voda and his works!

AFAIK service books are not device dependent!

they must be...
How would Orange know to send HTML formatted emails etc?

Que?
Emails are sent as emails the device decides how to display them as per your settings, or in text format only in older models/os's
Posted by fatreg
Oh.
my bad then.
Posted by Nanu
Not only that but the swap device wizard backs up your databases including service books and reinstates them on your new device, and away you go!
Posted by Berry
Its OS dependant. And also a backup can create problems and it carries over unwanted or the wrong certificates to the newer device. If they are not compatible then can cause certain issues...
Posted by Nanu
Service books aren't OS dependent either, service books are service books full stop, they carry the information required by the device for your settings to set up email etc.
If they are, OS, Carrier or device dependent then the device switch wizard wouldn't work as it does.
Nor would I have been able to get BB Maps and WLM working on BB devices months before Orange officially released it!

I meant HTML are OS Dependant.
As an example - HTML email wasnt available on an 8700 running 4.2 as it only became available from 4.5 and that was one of the main features when it came out.
Service books are designed to allow some functions of the BB.
In the Switch Wizard a backup transfers it will repricate the information from an old BB to a new BB. However this is not a completely fool proof method as incorrect certificates for different BBs can be incorrectly installed.
Hence why it is better to do an Advanced Restore ommitting certain parts such Keystore etc.
These are then updated with certain services books that are re sent with you resend SBs.

The emails are sent as they are sent so text is sent as text and html as html, this is regardless of OS, it is the device itself which handles the way the emails are formatted not the service books, hence why you could display HTML using 3rd party software on OS's previous to 4.5.
The confusion is setting in here as we are going on about totally different things, this was all to answer JC's question of "Not sure if the other networks would have the service books for the Storm. "

Ok to clarify.
We know HMTL email is sent as text but the ability to view it as an HTML document was enabled in the 4.5OS.
And yes previous 3rd party apps were available.
And having a reread i can see our across purposes

I've gone back to my 8900 curve.
I really like the storm, BUT just couldn't live with the crap battery life.
I didn't even get a full days use out of it, and that's with the latest hybrid os installed.
pin is 2572CE5A

I have to say yesterday my Bold let me down. I was away on a business trip&forgot the car charger at home.With a full battery at 7.30, I listen to some podcasts for half an hour, talked around a total of 1,5 hrs on the phone,traveled 700 km (that's important uping the energy consumption), browsed the web,used apps,sms and email for a total of (added) 4 hrs and my battery was dead. GPS off. BT on all the time. That's not right. I even had the same juice from my P1i's smaller battery doing the same thing!I had to stop and by a new car charger in order to use the phone more. Do you think I ask too much from the Bold?:D

Get your Bold quick and leave your PIN here, add the others in the club and they can assist you live via BB_Messenger.
Is anyone looking forward to a BB that has a video call camera to use with BB_Messenger?
Ok,guys, my pin is 2566FDD7. Add me and be sure I'll squeeze you of EVERY info you have on BB:P
I might be interested in using suck a program when I'm on Wi-Fi!

Had a Bold for a couple of days now, long enough to state quite happily that this is the most superb device i have ever had (and i have had EVERYTHING twice over)
.
Certain people have been nagging me about this phone for months, truth is, you MUST buy something, in order to see and understand what all the fuss is about

Got a Blackberry Bold, wondering what applications are available that could be usefull.

Go to Crackberry and read some of the Wiki threads. Everyone puts different things on their BB, depending on what they want to do i.e. Google Maps etc etc - there are thousands!

Anyone using 5.0 on a 8900 yet? just wondered if it was worth the upgrade or not?

Check out my for sale thread, and I have an 8900 running 5.0.
Some nice touches, but as it is Alpha, there is still a lot of work in progress. A few compatability issues with third party apps, and a calendar bug, but I feel, worth the upgrade
Posted by Burgaz
Yeah i just read a bit about it on crackberry... Think i may wait for the next release. i went through all this with the old curve and 4.5...

Hi!
got an email yesterday
" An update of BlackBerry® Device Software version 4.6 is available. "
I am using a Bold and think if I update I will loose the Japanese and Chinese support on my Bold.
My OS version is -
BlackBerry® 9000
smartphone (3G, Wi-Fi)
v4.6.0.190 (Platform 4.0.0.172)
Cryptographic Kernel v3.8.5.50a
Branding Version: 1.0.120.0
Micro Edition Configuration: CLDC-1.1
Micro Edition Profile: MIDP-2.0
Micro Edition JTWI Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Media Version: 1.1
Micro Edition PIM Version: 1.0
Micro Edition File Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Bluetooth Version: 1.1
Micro Edition Location Version: 1.0.1
Micro Edition Security and Trust Services (APDU) Version: 1.0 WLAN Version: 2.4.0.65 http://www.blackberry.com Copyright © 1997-2008 Research In Motion Limited.
All rights reserved.
but not really sure if an upgrade will mean the loss of Japanese and Chinese input.
Any advice welcomed!

I will leave well alone!

Got my Curve 8900 back from Colorware yesterday, got a 'Powder' colour paintjob done. Very impressed with the finish.

T-Mobile are now joined Orange in selling a Blackberry on a pay as you go tarrif. You buy the phone (a 8110 I believe) for £179, and that includes a years BB email and browsing (1Gb/month), you just have to pay for top-ups for texts and calls.
Posted by dougproctor
Marc,
How much was the "respray" on your phone?
Doug
Posted by Prom1
marc,
Unique colorware paint job. Its seems to be more purple.
Anyone looking forward to the upcoming Gemini BB with touch sensor navigation?!!
This if done well may bring me back to the BB platform; but not another rehash of the Curve with no 3G. A smaller Bold in the 8900's design with that Touch Sensor leaked on CrackBerry would do so; at least until the Symbian Foundation^2 devices release around Xmas time.
Man ... I really hope Nokia picks up the development pace else it is doomed in the hardware space.

Proxy's ... as they are understood are usually handled by the BES is you are on a corporate setup for email and MDS - which acts as a more powerful Proxy.
PS ANyone here at WES2009?
RIM CEO has applied for Coyote's ownership.
BES 5.0 released; but we already new this 8mths ago.
