hello bigfeat,

ive recently installed and followed the instructions you provided to connect my p990i to BES

i was successfull and able to recieve the PIN and now also receiving my personal emails from yahoo and tmoible blackberry service here in the USA.

unfortunately it was my work email or the blackberry enterprise server setup that im having problem with. i was in the part where its asking to click on generate key automatically on the encrytion part of it, the PIN says unknown type and the generate button is not highlighted for me to click on but the connect button is highlighted. so i tried clicking connect and it saids hanset link connecting but nothing happened after a few minutes, it just stopped. Ive talked to tmobile, sony ericsson my IT department and thats why im asking help from you if its alr8 can u let me know wat im doing wrong pls.

thanks and hoping for ur reply.

All,

I have installed BES successfully but I am now unable to synchronize my Tasks entries via the SE PC suite. PC suite tells me that I cannot synchronize tasks because "this category is curreclty disabled in my device", which normally indicates that I should be able to use the blackberry service instead. But, AFAIK, the Blackberry connect software is not supposed to synch Tasks.

My corporate email system is Lotus Notes. Has anybody had the same issue?

Note that all other synchronizations work fine:
- emails and calendar entries are synchronized through the blackberry service
- contacts though the SE PC suite

Thanks

I went through this awhile ago. I think it has something to do with the Calendar and Tasks being treated as the same type of data. Note that in SyncML, Calendar and Tasks use the same database.

I gave up on BBC because some of my calendar entries were coming through screwy as well. ExchangeActiveSync is ok, but it also doesn't sync tasks/notes/categories. I couldn't depend on it for my BB-based work needs.

The only "full" sync out there (Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Tasks, and Categories) is Palm<->Win/Mac, WM5<->PC, and BB/BES<->PC. Note of those combinations are appealing, but I might have to get a TYTN since they cured the speed problem with the Wizards.

I've had e-mail discussions with the DataViz folks telling them they're product is not feature complete or competetive until they are as good as having a WM5 phone or a BB. Of course, they thanked me for their comments, for whatever that's worth.

Good luck,
paul

I'm having no sync issues with Notes and BES. One feature that I do wish was active is the PIN To PIN messaging. If anyone has managed to utilize it please post.

Nov 2004, I bought a Sony High Speed Magic Gate 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo from you. And I was charged more than double.

I believe I suggested you contest the double charge with your card company by showing them proof that you only authorized a purchase for one item. They should have issued you a credit accordingly and requested a charge back from the vendor. I tried my best to help out on your behalf, but I could only do so much legally as I am not an authorized person on your account. Sorry to hear it never got resolved m8. Maybe you should have rung me up sooner as I was just in Stockholm a few weeks ago for the Jazz fest.
